BIBLICAL INSTANCES OF HIS EMPOWERMENT
The Spirit of God is not only known for His creative ability, He is also an empowering Spirit (Joel 2:28-29). He is called different names in the Holy Scriptures such as the Holy Spirit/Ghost (Acts 1:8), Spirit of holiness (Romans 1:4), the Anointing (1 John 2:27), etc. There are several instances in the Bible where certain individuals were empowered by the Spirit of God. These include:
* Joseph: He was empowered with creative leader-ship and problem-solving skills as well as the gift of administration (Genesis 41:37-41).
* Bezaleel: The Spirit of God equipped him with w.. dom, understanding, knowledge, and all manner of skills (Exodus 31:3-5).
* Ezekiel: He was moved by the Spirit of God to see the invisible (Ezekiel 11:24; 37:1; 43:5).
* Peter: On receiving the baptism of the Spirit of God, He preached a single message and 3,000 souls were saved and added to the Church (Acts 2:41).
* Paul: He preached the gospel with mighty signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God (Romans 15:19).
* Philip: He was supernaturally transported to Azotus by the Spirit of the Lord after he ministered to the Ethiopian Eunuch (Acts 8:39-40).
The Spirit of God also helped Othniel to prevail against the Mesopotamian king, Cushan-Rishathaim (Judges 3:10); Jephthah to overthrow the Ammonites (Judges 11:29, 32); and Samson to deal with the Philistines (Judges 15:14-15).

HIS DIVINE NATURE
There are certain attributes accorded the Spirit of God. These include:
1. Creativity – the creative ability of God is released to people through His Spirit (Exodus 35:30-35).
2. Inspiration – The Spirit stirs and gives people un-derstanding (Job 32:8; Daniel 4:8-9).
3. Authority – He is in total control of all situations (Ezekiel 37:14) and acts as a defence for the elect (Isaiah 59:19)
4. Omniscience He is all-knowing and possesses all secrets (Psalm 139:7).
5. Omnipotence He is all-powerful and can facili-tate what human power could not (Zechariah 4:6,.
The Spirit of God possesses emotion and can be grieved (Ephesians 4:30). It is, however, dangerous to be a victim of His anger (Isaiah 63:10).
CONCLUSION: There is no limit to what the Spirit of God can do. Allow Him to take full control of your life.
