Rhapsody of Realities 3 September 2025: The Promise of the Spirit

SCRIPTURE: Galatians 3:14 NIV He redeemed us in order that the blessing given to Abraham might come to the Gentiles through Christ Jesus, so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit

When God promised Abraham that in him would all the nations of the earth be blessed, He was speaking prophetically of the Gospel and of the Spirit. Galatians 3:8 tells us that God preached the Gospel to Abraham beforehand, saying, “…In thee shall all nations be blessed.” This blessing includes the Spirit Himself—the promise of the Father.

Receiving the Holy Spirit isn’t just about speaking in tongues or experiencing supernatural power, as wonderful as those may be. The Spirit is the seal of the new covenant and the deposit of our inheritance (Ephesians 1:13-14). He is God’s guarantee that everything Jesus obtained for us belongs to us now.

This is why the Apostle Peter, after preaching on the Day of Pentecost, said, “…Repent… and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off…” (Acts 2:38-39). That promise wasn’t limited to the Jews. It was for everyone God would call—including you. You’re no longer waiting to be qualified. In Christ, you’re qualified: you’re Abraham’s seed and an heir of the promise.

Acts 2:17 reiterates what was already prophesied by the Prophet Joel: “And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh….” Notice that the promise of the Spirit is unto all: “For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call” (Acts 2:39).

Now that you’re born again, you don’t just have a portion of God’s blessing but the full measure of Him who brings you into everything God has. The same Spirit empowers you to live victoriously every day. He helps you understand the Word, guides you into all truth, and enables you to manifest Christ.

Be ever conscious and appreciative of His presence in you and with you. Spend time fellowshipping with Him. Acknowledge Him, and He’ll lead and help you fulfil your divine destiny.

John 14:16-17

¹⁶ And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Comforter (Counselor, Helper, Intercessor, Advocate, Strengthener, and Standby), that He may remain with you forever—

¹⁷ The Spirit of Truth, Whom the world cannot receive (welcome, take to its heart), because it does not see Him or know and recognize Him. But you know and recognize Him, for He lives with you [constantly] and will be in you.

Acts 2:38-39

³⁸ And Peter answered them, Repent (change your views and purpose to accept the will of God in your inner selves instead of rejecting it) and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of and release from your sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

³⁹ For the promise [of the Holy Spirit] is to and for you and your children, and to and for all that are far away, [even] to and for as many as the Lord our God invites and bids to come to Himself.

Ephesians 1:13-14

¹³ In Him you also who have heard the Word of Truth, the glad tidings (Gospel) of your salvation, and have believed in and adhered to and relied on Him, were stamped with the seal of the long-promised Holy Spirit.

¹⁴ That [Spirit] is the guarantee of our inheritance [the firstfruits, the pledge and foretaste, the down payment on our heritage], in anticipation of its full redemption and our acquiring [complete] possession of it—to the praise of His glory.
