Topic: Divine Confirmation for all-round success.

Text: Exodus  31

Key text: Exodus 31:3  And I have filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship.

Discussion: Today we are considering another important, subject which centers on all round success,  from our key text  we see how God filled Bezaleel with the resources needed  for  all manner of workmanship,  and that is the Spirit  of  God.  What are we learning from here is that what is needed to be the best in whatever we do is the Spirit of God.  How then can we have this indispensable  gift.

There must be a need: Acts 1:8  But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. There is a need to reach out To the sinners to tell them of Christ the Savior and for everyone that see this need like the Israelites did,  which  made God to fill Bezaleel,  Aholiab and other Israelites. Such are on their way to get this filling. 

There  must be Obedience : before  and After God fills people with his Spirit,  he demands Obedience from them,  he told Israel in Exodus 31:13  Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, saying, Verily my sabbaths ye shall keep:

There must be a separation: see the latter part of verse 13 for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that ye may know that I am the LORD that doth sanctify you. Before  God use a man he fills him,  but before he fills him he cleanse,  and separate him from the defilement, and power of sin.  Hence if you need this gift for all-round success then you need him to first wash you,  and then he will put his Spirit within you.  And you will do exploit in Jesus name.

There must be an action: have you been washed and separated from sin, obeying the word of God from time to time?  There is something  more and it is Action,  there is an instruction  given to us in Mark 16:15  And he said... Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature and then he gave a promise in verse 17-18 of Mark Chapter 16 "And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;
They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
Are you  willing  to receive  this power AR you ready,  the time has come  when that which we promise in Joel 2:28-29 shall be fulfilled,  this is the Day been referred  to, see "And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:
And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit."

Challenge:  The promise is unto you, take  action today

Prayer: Endure me with your Spirit Lord!
