Morning Devotional For Wednesday 22nd Nov - Edoman - 11-22-2017

TOPIC ✨ Distributions Of The Holy Ghost✨
God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will (Hebrews 2:4).
The word translated “gifts” here, doesn’t mean gifts like we have it in 1 Corinthians 12:4, where the word “gifts” is translated from “charisma.” Here, “gifts’ is translated from the Greek word “merismos,” and it means “distributions.” It’s more accurately rendered “distributions of the Holy Ghost,” instead of “gifts of the Holy Ghost,” in the KJV.
What do we mean by distributions of the Holy Ghost? Acts 5:12 says, “And by the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders wrought among the people; (and they were all with one accord in Solomon’s porch.” The Word states that many signs and wonders were done by the hands of the apostles. Who are we? We’re God’s outstretched hands. We’re bearers of the divine order. We serve the blessings of the New Testament and one of those blessings is the Holy Ghost; we “distribute” the Holy Ghost. It’s the reason we can lay hands on someone and the person receives the Holy Spirit.
Oftentimes, we say in prayer, “I bless you in the Name of Jesus. I bless you with the Word, and I bless you with the Holy Ghost.” That’s what we’re doing: distributing the blessings of the Spirit. When Jesus blew on His disciples in John 20:22 and said, “… Receive ye the Holy Ghost ,” they received the spirit of understanding, that they might understand the Scriptures. That’s “distribution”; and He’s given us the grace to do likewise. Hallelujah!
PRAYER
Heavenly Father, I thank you for the privilege to be not just a beneficiary of the glorious
blessings inherent in the New Testament, but also for the grace and ability to distribute these blessings to others. I pronounce blessings and the favour of God on my friends, family, colleagues, and associates today, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

AFFIRMATIONTRAIN 22ND NOVEMBER.
I affirm that I am exalted by the Lord! I am lifted, because of the power of the Holy Spirit that is at work in me! Daily, I walk in preordained pathways, for God has structured the course of events in my life, and I go on to fulfil my divine destiny in Christ. My life is for the glory God and my future is that of success, progress, and prosperity in the Gospel of Jesus Christ! I dwell continually in peace, divine health, and in God's grace. I am thoroughly nourished and fortified for the victorious life by the Word, through study and meditation. I make progress by the Spirit, and my profiting by the Word is unstoppable. My heart and mouth are filled with words of power, even now, to cause changes in my life and around me. As I speak forth the Word, mountains are moved, hills are leveled, and the crooked paths are made straight before me. Nothing is impossible to me because the greater One lives in me. By His power that is at work in, and through me, I create my victorious and prosperous life, from glory to glory. Blessed be God. Hallelujah!
