TOPIC: Fountain Of Inspiration

MEMORISE: And I have filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship, Exodus 31:3

READ: Exodus 31:1-6

And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
See, I have called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah:
And I have filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship,
To devise cunning works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass,
And in cutting of stones, to set them, and in carving of timber, to work in all manner of workmanship.
And I, behold, I have given with him Aholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan: and in the hearts of all that are wise hearted I have put wisdom, that they may make all that I have commanded thee;

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 1 Kings 14-15, John 1:1-51

MESSAGE:

No doubt, people get inspired by listening to motivational speeches, studying great people and reading books. However, the Holy Spirit remains the greatest fountain of inspiration. You see, any fellow who has the Holy Spirit living in him can conceive great ideas that will turn the world around for good. For instance, the Bible talks about a man called Uzziah. He was the first to invent an engine used as missiles in war.

“And he made in Jerusalem engines, invented by cunning men, to be on the towers and upon the bulwarks, to shoot arrows and great stones withal. And his name spread far abroad; for he was marvellously helped, till he was strong.” – 2 Chronicles 26:15

Uzziah was able to do that because he was marvelously helped by God. Are you studying medicine? A lot of diseases don’t have cures yet. Are you in the arts class? There are a lot life transforming stories yet untold. If you really want to make a change in this world, you need to make the Holy Spirit your friend.

PRAYER POINT:

Holy Spirit, please inspire me to create great things.

Let us with a gladsome mind
Praise the Lord for He is kind;
For His mercies shall endure

For of gods He is the God;

Filled the new-made world with light;

All things living He doth feed,
His full hand supplies

In the wasteful wilderness;

Looked upon our misery;

Ever faithful, ever sure.
