The President of Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), His Eminence, Most Reverend Dr. Daniel Okoh has charged Christians to submit their lives to the leadership of the Holy Spirit.
Dr. Okoh who is also the General Superintendent of Christ Holy Church (CHC) International while speaking at the 2023 Prayer Summit of the church said that it was important that Christians allow the Spirit of God to lead them, adding that the Holy Spirit not only enables one to conquer all trials and temptations, but helps one to be victorious.
The CAN President while lamenting that some Christians have abandoned the leading of God in their lives and allow the flesh to control them, said that the part of the reasons many people have not received the spirit of God was because they have not sincerely asked for the Holy Spirit of God to come and take control of their life.
The cleric who took his text from Romans Chapter 8 vs 13 and 14 warned against Christians who sell their conscience because of ‘hunger.’
Reminding the Christian faithful of the gains of a Spirit-filled individual, Okoh who is also the International President of the Organization of African Instituted Churches (OIAC) noted that when one receives the Holy Spirit of God, it helps to put to death the evil desires of the flesh and as well, forces the sinful nature and the sinful flesh to submit to the Holy Spirit.
Speaking on the fruits of the Holy Spirit the CAN President said “When you allow the Holy Spirit of God to lead you, it empowers you, it empowers and gives you the gift of the Holy Spirit and makes you useful member of the household of God so that you will be able to do the work of service; rebuilding the household of God.
“When you are led by the Holy Spirit of God, you are led to be patient, you are to persevere, you are led to ensure. You are led to have self-control.
“By the time you begin to tell the father, it is your will, not my will, you are now being led by the Holy Spirit of God.”
