‘Last Generation’
John:3.34 “For He whom God has sent speaks the words of
God, for God does not give the Spirit by measure”
Our Lord Jesus was
given the full measure (7 Spirits of the Lord) of the Holy Spirit for His complete
obedience to the Father.
Isa 11:2 The Spirit of the LORD shall rest upon Him, The
Spirit of wisdom and understanding, The Spirit of counsel and might, The Spirit
of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD.
Born Again Christian
The Spirit of the Lord will dwell in every Christian as His
seal of salvation. As he attends church, reads the Bible, etc. God will then
give him the Spirit of wisdom to help him to become a ‘doer of the word’ for
faith without works is dead (James 2:20-26).
Deu 15:7 “If there is among you a poor man of your
brethren, within any of the gates in your land which the Lord your God is
giving you, you shall not harden your heart nor shut your hand from your poor
brother,”
We must be
faithful with the money under our stewardship by giving to the poor, needy,
destitute, missions.
Ministries of Christ
Eph 4:7, 11 But to each one of us grace was given
according to the measure of Christ’s gift....
And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some
evangelists, and some pastors and teachers.
The above
teachers, pastor, evangelists, and so on are different from these appointed by
God in 1 Cor 12:28.
Servants with 2 Talents
Once a Christian loves God and keeps His words, then our
Lord Jesus will baptize him with the Holy Spirit, and God will give him:-
1. Spirit of Understanding – he becomes His anointed
teacher teaching only truth from His pure word.
2. Spirit of counsel – he will be able to use His
words and truth to counsel, comfort and encourage his sheep as though our Lord
Jesus, the wonderful Counsellor has just comforted them. He is His anointed
pastor.
These anointed
teachers and pastors will disciple, care, nourish, feed, love, comfort, His
sheep with truth into His image. These good shepherds run His churches, home
cells, charitable homes, Christian groups, ministries, to produce disciples of
Jesus.
Servants with 5 Talents
When God needs the gospel to reach unfriendly, hostile,
difficult and dangerous areas, He will empower His good shepherds with additional
anointing:
3. Spirit of might – he will be able to endure
hardship, sufferings, pains, hunger, persecutions, imprisonments, etc. This is
His anointed evangelist.
4. Spirit of knowledge of the Lord he understands God
and His feelings – His hatred of sin, His disappointment when we reject His
love, His pain seeing human suffering in hell, etc. This is His true prophet
who knows His heartbeat, plan, will, movement, coming events, etc.
5. Spirit of the fear of the Lord he knows and understands
God and the pains and sufferings seeing His children being deceived and being tormented
by eternal fire. This is His apostle, who is fearful that he has not been
working hard enough nor put enough effort to prevent all these wolves from
destroying the faith of Christians with deceptions, false testimonies, heresies,
wrong doctrines, demonic and earthly wisdom, worldliness, in today’s churches.
Mat 25:21 “His lord said to him, ‘Well done, good and
faithful servant; you were faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler
over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.’ Those faithful to both
the 2 and 5 talents received the same rewards.
