I'm back with another episode in this incredible series of finding our purpose in Christ.
Right, so we have been dealing with ways in which The Holy Spirit Speaks to us.
Let's explore this a little more...
Let's consider Robert, Thendo and Suffocate. These gentlemen all work for Obi Steel.
- Now, Thendo has been reading my posts and has taken to reading the Bible when he makes time for it and has been reading out of this passage this past week; Matthew chapter 8 from verse 23
|
¶ And when he was entered into a ship, his disciples followed him.
|
|
|
And, behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the
ship was covered with the waves: but he was asleep.
|
|
|
And his disciples came to him, and awoke him, saying,
Lord, save us: we perish.
|
|
|
And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then
he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm.
|
|
|
But the men marveled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even
the winds and the sea obey him!

At work three days ago, their manager called them in and told them that there will be retrenchments because the company has not been doing well. Being the bread winner in the home, together with his friends Robert and Suffocate who are also heads in their homes economically, the matter was quite distressing to hear.
The normal way that he would have reacted before, to such news, would be to panic and to see a bleak, near future, worry about his new born child and the wife who left work six months into her pregnancy to focus on raising the child.
Robert and Suffocate started seeing themselves in debt a whole lot deeper than they are now and started worrying and talked about the worst that is to come and how the company was just horrible that they have been working so hard and now they are being rewarded with this!

Thendo however was in the toilet when the scripture he had been reading came back to mind. He received a revelation right there because now he was in a storm of his own and he wasn't alone. He then remembered that last week Sunday, he had received Jesus Christ into his heart to be born again. And all of a sudden, he became calm and did what the disciples did, and called on the Jesus in the boat. Unless, you call on Him, He remains asleep, so He awoke Him inside and prayed, not only for his job to be safe, but for all of the people in the company. He started speaking that the company would be ok, and no one would be retrenched.
The Word spoke of how Jesus calmed a raging storm with just words and he chose to believe that the same Jesus inside of him would breathe life back into a 'dying' company.
This morning the same manager came and informed them that they had just secured a new investor and all will be well for everyone.
Here it is...
Thendo now saw just how The Holy Spirit can use the Word of God to show forth in a situation today and also just in time. The Holy Spirit sees things that come in the future and gives us the tools we need to face them when they come, even if we don't expect it.
On the next post...
