The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit.

(John 3:8 NKJV)

In last week’s Call to Prayer, I began sharing on the topic, “Running with the wind”. We learnt that the work of the Holy Spirit can be likened to the wind. Just as no one can see the wind, but we see its effects, so is the Holy Spirit. Today, I would like to continue with this topic and share an example of a man who ran with the wind and another man who ran against the wind.

On the day of Pentecost (Acts 2), the Holy Spirit came as a rushing wind on the believers. Apostle Peter who was sensitive to the Spirit, was able to discern the season they were in and used that opportunity to preach the Gospel. As a result, the people available were pricked in their hearts and about 3000 gave their lives to Christ (Acts 2:41). When we run with the wind, we will win many souls for Christ and also have a great impact on the lives of others.

Jonah on the other hand when the Lord sent him to Nineveh decided to disobey and fled to Tarshish (Jonah 1). Since he was running against the wind (Holy Spirit), he was met with a headwind in the form of a storm on the Sea. He had to spend 3 days in the belly of a fish before he went back to do the work, he could have finished days before.

In order to run with the wind, we need the spirit of discernment to know the times and seasons and act accordingly. Physical seasons are created by the movement of the wind and spiritual seasons are created by the movement of the Holy Spirit. In human life, everyone’s season is different, but the most important thing is to run with the Holy Spirit. Once the wind blows for that season, DO IT!

Discernment comes from the Holy Spirit; the worst time may be the best time and vice versa. Be spiritually sensitive! Also, we need to be flexible and be ready to change our way and move in every direction the Holy Spirit chooses. It will not always be convenient. You will miss your season if you move by convenience!

Beloved in the Lord, the Holy Spirit can be likened to the wind. Though we don’t see Him with our physical eyes, we see the impact of this work in our lives. Let’s therefore be sensitive to His leadings so we can bear more fruits and impact many lives.

Prayer Point:

Let’s thank God for His word. Let’s ask the Lord to help all believers to be sensitive to the leadings of the Holy Spirit.

God bless you all
