The Holy Spirit, Our Comforter and Helper

"And I will pray to the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever." (John 14:16 NKJV)


Loneliness strikes almost everyone at some point. A person may be very popular or economically successful but still live a life of loneliness. They may feel that no one truly loves or values them, even though they are surrounded by many people who are there because they want money from them.

In this verse, the word "helper" also means "Comforter," so you should understand that God has given us His Holy Spirit to address the deep loneliness that troubles our hearts. The Holy Spirit provides us with God's permanent presence in our lives, a guarantee of His close friendship and constant help.

No matter what trial you are going through, the Helper is there to strengthen you, comfort you, and empower you. God has not left you without hope. In Matthew 28:20, He says, "And behold, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Therefore, God is with you until the end of time through the Holy Spirit, who is our Helper and Comforter.

If you feel lonely, know that God understands the pain you are going through, which is caused by your broken plans and shattered dreams. Your problems may also stem from being let down by people you love and trust, but they have betrayed you.

The Holy Spirit is not only a Comforter; He is also the one who heals your wounds and binds up your broken heart. When you try to handle these wounds physically, you may fall into greater problems like addiction, immorality, or confiding in someone who may secretly be your enemy, only to gossip about you.

Therefore, seek the friendship, help, and comfort of God's Holy Spirit. He is your best friend – the One who will never leave you nor forsake you all the days of your life.

Prayer: Jesus, thank You for always being with me through Your Holy Spirit. Help me to always rely on Him. Amen.

Are You With The Right People?

Pursue righteous living…Enjoy the companionship of those who call on the Lord with pure hearts.” 2 Timothy 2:22   If you want to be in God’s will and experience His blessings, you have to be around the right people. The people who are right for you are the people who will be honest with you. They don’t just tell you what you want to hear, but they tell you what you need to hear. “Faithful are the wounds of a friend.” (Proverbs 27:6). Good friends are not afraid to confront you.   Get around the right people because everybody who comes into your life brings a spirit. Sometimes, it is easy to gravitate to people we can relate to and who are similar to us. But the problem with that is, if you both share the same weaknesses, you will not grow in that area. You need to get around someone who is strong in the areas where you are weak. They know how to help get you to where you want to be.   In 2 Chronicles 10, Rehoboam had just been appointed king. Some of the leaders of Israel met w

How Are Your Management Skills? (Part 1)

  “His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!’” Matthew 25:21   The way you manage your money will determine how much God will trust you with it. In Matthew 25, a wealthy man entrusted his finances to some of his servants. He gave them each certain amounts, and when he returned, he found that some had used the money to make more money, but one servant had just hidden his in the ground. The master (who represents God) was very unhappy with this servant and called him “lazy and wicked” and even took away the little he had been entrusted with.   The master was happy with the others because no matter the amount they had been entrusted with, they used what was given to them and increased it. The servant, who was given only one bag of gold, made the decision to bury it. God expects you to use what He has given you to be a productive person. Even if you ju

Choose love over judgment

"I do not set aside the grace of God; for if righteousness comes through the law, then Christ died in vain.” Galatians 2:21 NKJV   The message today is clear and very brief. God reminds us that our righteousness is not attained through our actions but by faith in Jesus Christ. If our righteousness is obtained by faith and not by deeds, why do we judge each other? Why do we point fingers? Why do we gossip? The mouths of Christians have become very quick to judge others when they make mistakes. Let's not judge others, especially when they make mistakes. Remember that the weaknesses you judge in others, you also have, and often yours are worse than those you judge. The word of God says, "Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. Matthew 7:1-2."   Secondly, let's not consider ourselves righteous and better than others. The word of God says, "for all
