IF YOU WAN TO SUCCEED, GET THE COMFORTER

IF YOU WAN TO SUCCEED, GET THE COMFORTER


Who is the comforter? the comforter is the Holy Ghost that Jesus Christ promise his disciple. John 14:16 says...And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever.
Then in Act 2:1-4 the comforter was given unto them ...Act 2:1-4 and when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.

2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting.

3 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.

4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

What happen after then?


(1) When the comforter came upon them, they started speaking in new tongues. In act 2:4-6 and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

5 And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven.

6 Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language.

(2) They were bold. Like the case of peter who denied Jesus Christ, but when the comforter came upon him, he was bold to speak to those that were accusing them of being drunk. act 2:14-16 says..But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, Ye men of Judaea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words:

15 For these are not drunk, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day.

16 But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel;

(3) Peter was able to win about 3000 souls that very day. This something he could not do before. In act 2-41....   41 Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.

Why do you need the comforter?


(1)  If you have the comforter, you will have the boldness to take whatever you intend to do head on.
(2) With the comforter by your side, you will have all the skills that you need to succeed because he will be the guiding you every day of your life. .In John 16, Jesus refers to the Spirit as a "Counselor" who will guide us in our everyday lives.
(3) With the comforter by your side, you will have in your life, family, business etc. Galatians 5:22-23 says, "The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control."

There is so many more benefit we can gain from the comforter like In John 14, for example, Jesus says the Holy Spirit will comfort us when we're hurting. "I will not leave you as orphans," Jesus says (14:18).

How do get the comforter

When you accept Jesus Christ as your lord and personal savior, the comforter will come in and abide with you and he will lead and guild you in every area of your life.

If you have not accepted Jesus Christ, what are you waiting for, confessing your sins before him and accept him as your lord and savior.
