And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment

RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DEVOTIONAL FOR TODAY SATURDAY 7TH SEPTEMBER 2024.

The Lord Jesus made the statement above in one of the last meetings He had with His disciples

before He was crucified. During the long teaching, which started in the 13th chapter, He told them He was going away and the disciples were puzzled. Then, He said, “And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive…” (John 14:16-17).

In subsequent verses, He told them who the Comforter is: “But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost…” (John 14:26). This was the same person He was referring to in chapter 16 when He said, “And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment” (John 16:8). What did He mean by this statement?

The word “reprove” is translated from the Greek word “elegcho”, which means “to convict” or “to convince.” This is the work of the Holy Spirit. When Jesus preached, many didn’t believe. Even though certain individuals believed and received miracles, the people generally didn’t believe.

The Bible says, “But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not on him” (John 12:37). They weren’t convicted. Why? Because the Holy Spirit hadn’t been poured out on the people. But Jesus said when the Holy Spirit comes, He will convict the world of sin, of righteousness, and of judgment.

Today, men can be convicted in their hearts— convinced—when they hear the Word of God because the Holy Spirit has been poured out. The reason you’re convinced that Jesus is the Son of God even though you haven’t seen Him is because the Holy Spirit brought that revelation to your Spirit. It wasn’t a man that convinced you; the Holy Spirit did that in your heart. You believe because He helped you to believe.

That’s why when you go out to win souls, it’s important to do so by the power of the Holy Spirit. He’s the one who convicts the people; He convinces those listening to you and makes them believe. Glory to God!

PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for the ministry of the Holy Spirit
around the world today as your children proclaim the Gospel everywhere; our listeners are convinced and converted. There’s a great harvest of souls into the Kingdom today, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
