In my communion time with the Holy Spirit this morning which I encourage you to embark on making your daily practice. It is the most important part of the day as it offers you the opportunity to commit your life to the Helper, Counselor, aid and indescribable One Jesus gave to us as His followers to make us succeed and prosper in life.

I have found that committing my heart to the Holy Spirit each morning gives me a greater impetus for living and enables me to know what and how to achieve the goals of the Lord for my life. Jesus made taking out time in desert places seeking the will of His Father His practice and He never failed in any mission He did. Luke.5:16 However, he made a practice of withdrawing to remote places in order to pray.

This morning in my private time the Holy Spirit directed me to continue the thought on partaking of the exceedingly great and precious promises of the Lord for our lives. He wants me to deal with what we escape when we choose to share in what God has made available to us.

So let me again share what Peter pointed out to us by the Holy Spirit in 2 Peter.1:2-4 Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord, 3 as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue, 4 by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

Firstly the realization that the Holy Spirit wants us to have complete knowledge of the Father and Jesus and has made every grace available for us to partake of that knowledge so we are not deceived in any area in life.

This ensures that we are on the winning side in everything we do if we connect to the knowledge of God and the graces available to us. I recall people of influence including the Former Ambassador of the USA to Botswana calling me when I was in the USA and the Pastor I was with rushing the phone to me saying it is the Ambassador of the USA and he was calling to thank me for praying for him when in Botswana as his foot which had swollen had been healed and he wanted to let me know and thank me and ask if he could do anything for me I should not hesitate to ask him and he would do it. The Pastor was shocked as to why I was not rushing with fear that so important a person was calling me. Jesus is more important.

It is amazing what the Lord will do for us if only we yield to His plan and give the Holy Spirit our undivided attention to know what He has available to us each day.

The divine power of the Holy Spirit has given us all things that pertain to our life and godliness through our knowledge of Him who called and invited us to share His glory and virtue. Notice that He called us to share not His pain and shame of the cross but His glory and virtue.

Just feast on Luke.6:17-19 And He came down with them and stood on a level place with a crowd of His disciples and a great multitude of people from all Judea and Jerusalem, and from the seacoast of Tyre and Sidon, who came to hear Him and be healed of their diseases, 18 as well as those who were tormented with unclean spirits. And they were healed. 19 And the whole multitude sought to touch Him, for power went out from Him and healed them all.

What flowed from Jesus in this passage we are called to walk in for real and both Peter and the Apostle Paul manifest this Presence and power in the book of Acts in their individual lives. This is part of the inheritance we as His followers should be manifesting on a daily basis to demonstrate that Jesus is still the same, yesterday, today and forever.

All of these wonderful things we are to be partakers of are for the purpose that we have escaped the corruption that there is in this world through lust. God did all this for us so that our lives are not consumed with the lusts of the flesh, the lust of the eyes and the pride of life which are coming to nothing, regardless of what we gain through the lusts.

The Holy Spirit pointed out that lusts are never satisfied so when one is achieved you pursue the other because they never bring contentment. There is no end to lust and the Lord is aware of this and gave us a much better and greater answer to His followers which means we escape the corruption in the world that is governed by lusts.

When you look at the vast scope of resources the Lord made available to us if we receive what He promised there is no comparison with what the world offers that should be able to tempt us away from such great and precious promises.

You can go from being completely unknown to being sought after daily by the highest and wealthiest because you have the word of the Lord flowing from your mouth which I have experienced in Africa, the USA and Europe because the promises of God work in every nation and all men need God to intervene in their lives at various points in time.

When I first visited Botswana and spoke about the Lord no one listened because there was no God virtue flowing through me at the time. However the Lord said to me don’t worry but keep pursuing me and you will be sought out by men just keep following Me.

When I arrived loaded with the Virtue and glory of the Lord the story was completely different and those who sought my counsel were the highest and most prominent. You ask why share this? Because it is important for you to know that pursuit of the great and precious promises of the Lord is as real today as in the days of Peter and Paul.

Yes you can share in the virtue and glory of Jesus in the now of life if you will surrender to the Holy Spirit and give your life to serve the Lord as He desires you to do and be for Him and escape the rat race seeking after various lusts that perish in the fulfillment of those passions that ruin your life.

May your hearts be open today to receive these words and the exceeding grace of the Holy Spirit be afforded you to partake of the great and precious promises so that you can partake of the glory and virtue of the Lord by the working of the Holy Spirit in your life on a daily basis in Jesus name.

I pray that the Lord will grant you grace to lay hold of these truths and empower you to experience them and have a new passion to go after them with all your heart and soul and have an extraordinary fruitful and productive life moving forward in Jesus name. Amen.
