The Believer’s Divine Notification/Alerts System
1 Corinthians 2:12(GNB, CEV, TPT )
We we have not received this world’s spirit instead we have received the spirit sent by God , so that we may know all that God has given us. But God has given us His Spirit. That is why we don’t think the same way that the people of this world think. That’s also why we can recognise the blessings that God has given us. For we did not receive the spirit of this world system but the Spirit of God, so that we might come to understand and experience all that grace has lavished upon us.
With the advent of technology in our world , we now have various kinds of notification/ alert system. A notification system can alert you to an activity or transaction that has taken place. When you become aware of the transaction or activity you can then respond appropriately or enjoy the benefits of that transaction or activity. For example and abundant deposits may have been made into your bank account for something you urgently need. If you are not notified of the deposit ,you will remain worried and agitated even though what you need has already been made available.
Beloved, God also has a divine notification/ alert system for us His children. The operation of the Holy Spirit serves as our divine notification/ alert system. The Holy Spirit alerts us to all that God the Father has freely given to us so that we can enjoy them.
Our God is a God of providence. He makes abundant provision for us long before the need arises. In Christ, God has already made abundant provision for you and for every need you will ever have. It has been paid into your account. However, until you become aware of this, you cannot benefit from that provision and use it to satisfy that need or desire. God has freely prepared deep and amazing things for you; that which eyes have not seen, ears have not heard and minds have not imagined. God reveals these things to you by His Spirit (1 Corinthians 2:9-12). Everything Christ has and deserves is now available to you (John 16:13 -15). As the Holy Spirit reveals them to you, you make withdrawals by
speaking them into your life. You shall have whatsoever you say. That word will manifest.
Prayer Focus:
Pray in the Spirit right now and thank God for the abundant provisions He has already made available for all your needs. Speak them forth.
