SEPTEMBER 27, Ephesians 5:18

Paul tells us to be filled with the Spirit. What does that mean? That means a Christian is so conscious of God in his life that whatever he says and does, he will try to do it in order to please God. That Christian would be so aware of his own weaknesses and not depend on himself, but always be relying on God.

But how do we get filled with the Spirit? That means we would be faithful in learning God’s word so much so that our thinking and views and actions would be guided by the Holy Spirit.

To be constantly filled with the Spirit, we must constantly “drink” of the spiritual goodness. Here is a list of things that would help you “drink” spiritually:

• Pray
• Listen to teaching of the Bible
• Study God’s Word on your own, for yourself
• Attend Christian fellowship groups

Are you doing these things?

As you are involved in every form of spiritual and devotional activities, the Holy Spirit living in you does His work in you. You will become closer to God. And the closer you are to God, the more you can know of His power to help you fight sin and temptations!

Thought: I want to be filled with God’s teachings and power!

Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank You for giving me the Holy Spirit. May I submit to the guidance of the Holy Spirit always! In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
