This message flows from a simple but divinely orchestrated moment, where an encounter with someone distributing Christian tracts in the market becomes a doorway for the Holy Spirit to bring back a powerful testimony of the saving of a life and a salient reminder of the impact of obedience to the leading of the Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit reminded me of a past experience where I met a young lady in a market where I went shopping who was also sharing tracts. In that moment, prompted by the Holy Spirit as my mother received a tract from the lady.
I felt compelled to pray for her and as I started praying for her she instantly fell under the power of God, thus drawing attention from those around, including the police who felt something was amiss because she was on the ground. So what seemed like an unusual public moment became the turning point of her life.
Later, the young lady wrote to me to explain the true depth of that encounter because on that day she had been on the verge of committing suicide because she was confused like a lamb without a shepherd.
That moment of prayer I did on her behalf, prompted by the Holy Spirit, became the intervention that restored her strength and understanding of the love of the Father which brought back spiritual order into her life, and gave her the grace to continue living with and for a divine purpose. What appeared to be a small act of obedience on my part was, in reality, a divine rescue from a satanic attack launched to take her out.
From this one supernatural event, the Holy Spirit highlighted a deeper truth concerning the reality that many believers who are outwardly serving the church they belong to by sharing tracts on weekends or just going out to witness as a weekly ritual, may be struggling inwardly , hurting emotionally, or suffering emotional turmoil.
They may be just obeying instructions externally while silently battling internally, often unnoticed and unsupported. This deep need they have calls for greater spiritual sensitivity and compassion among us as followers of Jesus to be available to bring them the necessary support and spiritual guidance they need to be made free.
The message emphasises the reality that the Holy Spirit is present with us as a Helper, not only to guide us personally, but to use us as instruments to bring healing, encouragement, and deliverance for others. He prompts us to see beyond the outward appearances and to respond genuinely to the hidden needs of those around us by bringing the necessary comfort needed to bring change in their lives.
There is a clear encouragement as we remain sensitive and responsive to the Holy Spirit’s leading, to offer a prophetic word, a prayer of faith, or simple ministry when prompted. These moments, though they may seem small or ordinary, can carry eternal significance and become life-altering for someone in need.
I conclude this word of commission with the assurance that as we yield to the Holy Spirit in obedience to His leading and guidance, we not only become the Lord’s hand extended to humanity, but we will also experience renewed joy and fulfilment in our own walk with Him as we bring healing and deliverance as Peter brought to the crippled man at the beautiful gate. Acts.3:1-16.
Today, I declare in Jesus name that your heart be awakened to the promptings of the Holy Spirit and your spiritual eyes be opened to the hidden needs around you. In Jesus name may you be sensitive, willing, and quick to respond when He leads you to speak, pray, or act in away that brings deliverance.
I decree that through your obedience, lives will be touched, healed, and restored in Jesus name. I declare that you will become a vessel of the Lord’s compassion and power, by bringing hope to the hurting and strength to the weary. As you yield to the Holy Spirit’s leading, may joy overflow in your life, and may you walk in the fulfilment of being His hand extended to humanity in Jesus’ Name, Amen.
