(Nuggets from Isaiah 11:2)
The Holy Spirit which is the Spirit of God manifests in seven ways, signifying PERFECTION IN OPERATION.
These seven attributes of the Holy Spirit have been evident in Jesus as the word of God PERSONIFIED, the second person in the TRINITY, they also rested upon Jesus Christ, the Messiah in His earthly ministry, and they continue to be His attributes till the time He will come back to in His GLORIOUS MILLENNIAL REIGN.
The seven Spirits in this context do not imply that God has seven Spirits; He has one Spirit with 7 manifestations.
They are as follows:
1. The Spirit of the Lord
2. The Spirit of Wisdom
3. The Spirit of Understanding
4. The Spirit of Counsel
5. The Spirit of Might
6. The Spirit of Knowledge
7. The Spirit of the Fear of the Lord
- THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD is the first manifestation which was released upon Jesus on the day of Baptism as a dove descended on Him. That signified an ENDOWMENT and SANCTIFICATION of His mortal body/human nature, to prepare Him for a GLORIOUS ministry on earth.
- THE SPIRIT OF WISDOM is another manifestation of the Spirit of God which is a HEAVENLY kind of wisdom that supercedes HUMAN or DEVILISH Wisdom. This was the kind of WISDOM God Bezaleel, Aholiab, the sons of Issachar, Solomon, Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego with, to make them exceptional. This buttresses the FACT that the Holy Spirit is an INTELLIGIBLE BEING.
- THE SPIRIT OF UNDERSTANDING is the manifestation of the Holy Spirit that is responsible for DISCERNMENT.
- THE SPIRIT OF COUNSEL is the manifestation of the Holy Spirit that helps to guide you in your day-to-day activities, helping you in decision-making.
- THE SPIRIT OF MIGHT is the manifestation of the Holy Spirit that gives you STRENGTH to stand firm in the face of opposition and also do exploits for God.
- THE SPIRIT OF KNOWLEDGE is responsible for REVELATION KNOWLEDGE, such that transcends human knowledge. It is this attribute that helps you to have a DEEPER INSIGHT into God's ways.
- THE SPIRIT OF THE FEAR OF THE LORD is the operation of the Holy Spirit responsible for an Intrinsic reverential fear of God; it genders and empowers you to live a HOLY LIFE.
As these seven-fold operations of the Holy Spirit were manifested in Jesus' life and ministry, so it is with everyone who is filled with the Holy Spirit in this dispensation.
TO FULFILL YOUR MINISTRY AND CALLING AS A BELIEVER, YOU NEED THESE SEVEN-FOLD OPERATIONS ACTIVE IN YOUR LIFE.
HOLINESS WILL HELP YOU RETAIN THE HOLY SPIRIT, BUT SIN WILL MAKE YOU LOSE HIM; ONCE YOU HAVE HIM, BE CAREFUL AND LIVE CAUTIOUSLY.
This is HOLINESS CHALLENGE
