TOPIC: When The Holy Spirit Departs (Mountain Of Fire and Miracle Ministries, MFM Daily Devotional 21 January 2021)
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Genesis 27-29
FIRE SCRIPTURE: 1 Samuel 15:1-9 (KJV)
1 Samuel also said unto Saul, The LORD sent me to anoint thee to be king over his people, over Israel: now therefore hearken thou unto the voice of the words of the LORD.
2 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, I remember that which Amalek did to Israel, how he laid wait for him in the way, when he came up from Egypt.
3 Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass.
4 And Saul gathered the people together, and numbered them in Telaim, two hundred thousand footmen, and ten thousand men of Judah.
5 And Saul came to a city of Amalek, and laid wait in the valley.
6 And Saul said unto the Kenites, Go, depart, get you down from among the Amalekites, lest I destroy you with them: for ye shewed kindness to all the children of Israel, when they came up out of Egypt. So the Kenites departed from among the Amalekites.
7 And Saul smote the Amalekites from Havilah until thou comest to Shur, that is over against Egypt.
8 And he took Agag the king of the Amalekites alive, and utterly destroyed all the people with the edge of the sword.
9 But Saul and the people spared Agag, and the best of the sheep, and of the oxen, and of the fatlings, and the lambs, and all that was good, and would not utterly destroy them: but every thing that was vile and refuse, that they destroyed utterly.
MEMORY VERSE: “If ye love me, keep my commandments.” – John 14:15
MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE:
Without the Spirit of God, we can do nothing. We are ships without wind. We are useless.
PRAISE WORSHIP: Take a worship song as led by the Holy Spirit.
PROPHETIC WORD FOR TODAY:
HENCEFORTH, TOU WILL ENJOY THE MINISTRY OF HELP AND COMFORT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, IN THE NAME OF JESUS.
The MESSAGE:
The consequence of willfully and constantly disobeying God is that the Holy Spirit will be grieved and will withdraw or depart from the individual. There is no vacuum in life. When the Spirit of God departs from a believer and he does not repent and get filled with the Holy Spirit, the devil will fill him with demons.
King Saul; Israel’s first king, had that experience. The Holy Spirit departed from him because he consistently and habitually disobeyed God. The Almighty declared that Saul’s cup was full when he refused to obey Him completely on the issue of the Amalekites. He spared King Agag and choice animals. He lost the Holy Spirit as well as his throne. His kingdom was given to David. Besides, Saul dabbled into idolatry. He sought help in the devil’s camp and from a necromancer. Therefore, he earned the wrath and judgement of God which says, “The sorrow of those who follow after other gods shall be multiplied” (Psalm 16:4).

David knew the consequence of the departure of the Holy Spirit. He knew that his victory over Goliath and his numerous conquests in battles were the outworking of the Holy Spirit in his life. When he committed adultery with Bathsheba and got her husband; Uriah, killed, God confronted him and he broke down in contrition and repentance. He cried, “Cast me not away from Your presence, O Lord. Take not Thy Holy Spirit from me. Restore unto me the joy of Thy salvation and renew a right spirit within me” (Psalm 51:10-12).
Beloved, without the Holy Spirit, you can do nothing. The phenomenal ministry of Jesus on earth was made possible by the Holy Spirit that He was endued with. The exploits that the Apostles performed were actually the acts of the Holy Spirit. That is why Jesus advised them not to venture into their divine assignments until they were endued with power from on high. The Holy Spirit is therefore a must-have for all believers who want to succeed in life and fulfil their divine purposes. Beloved, you are not only to have Him, you are to keep Him and ensure that He does not depart from you. The Father has given Him to be your life Companion, Helper, Enabler and Friend.
