1 Corinthians 2:12 (NET) Now we have not received the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may know the things that are freely given to us by God.
When Seye received the baptism of the Holy Spirit, he lost the zeal he used to have for social media show-offs. As he grew spiritually, he also realized that he was no longer living his life to prove any point and demonstrate superiority. What now really mattered to him was pleasing God. Because of this, Seye found that his walk with God was now fruitful.
The spirit of the world is the reason why people of the world are proud, greedy, and sexually immoral. The spirit of the world is responsible for the wisdom of this world which is jealous, selfish, proud, etc.
One of the major things the Holy Spirit does to the believer is that He changes the believer’s nature into the nature of Christ. He crystallizes in us the mind of Christ. It is only those who have the spirit and mind of Christ that would be able to know the things that have been freely given to them by God. This knowledge is not natural mental knowledge but revelational knowledge that serves as keys and portals into those realities in God.
Go into today remembering that as long as a person has the spirit and attitude of the world, he would find it hard to walk in the revelational knowledge that produces results in the life of a believer.
