We’ve been called into a companionship, a partnership and participation with our Lord Jesus by the Holy Spirit. This is the same way God wants to be a part of everything you’re involved in. Make God your partner in your family and your business, and see what happens in your life. When God is your partner, you’ll show up in places you didn’t go; not for evil but for good.
This reminds me of one of Dr. Yongi Cho’s stories. He was a missionary in a little town that was wholly given to the worship of a guardian god. The priest of the god resisted his work in their town but later told him that if his God would heal a woman who was known throughout the village to be very sick, they would leave him to continue preaching and believe in his message. When he went to minister to this woman, she refused God’s Word and said she’d rather die than accept Jesus. Even when he called some brethren to clean up the woman’s house and make food for her, she was still uncooperative. So Dr. Cho and his team turned to their Senior Partner and prayed to God fervently. Then, one night he had a vision that he fought and destroyed the guardian god, who came to him in the form of a big serpent with a human head. The next day he woke up to find the woman completely healed. Jumping and rejoicing, she shouted, “Pastor, thank you for coming to my room in the night to pray for me and lay your hands on me.”
Dr. Cho was shocked because that was about the same time he had been praying in his own room and had that vision. So he said, “No, I wasn’t in your room yester night!” But the woman insisted, “It was you; I saw you and you told me to rise up in Jesus’ Name. I rose up and was healed instantly!”
The Holy Spirit can take on your form and go places in order to bless and help you. Let Him be part of everything you do. Consult with Him daily about your family, business, academics – everything. You’ll be the better off for it!
