Song Review

Holy Spirit by Paul Clement Ft Janice Wanjiru is built on these themes:

• The place of the Holy Spirit in a believer
• Desire for The Spirit
• Surrender

The place of the Holy Spirit in a believer

The Holy Spirit was promised to the disciples by Christ, while preparing them for His ascension to heaven. Like Christ had walked with the disciples, so would the Holy Spirit.

A key role of the Holy Spirit is seen in the book of Acts, where He gives the disciples – some viewed as lowly uneducated men – the boldness and speech to address religious leaders of high calibre and great multitudes, from which many are saved.

The Spirit is a companion, enabling us in ways we couldn’t on our own. We need Him.

John 15:26-27 KJV

[26] But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me: 

[27] and ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning.

Desire for the Spirit

To demonstrate the willingness of the Father to gift the Holy Spirit, Jesus used the example of depraved men being capable of granting good gifts to their young. Given this precedent, how much more generously will God pour out His Spirit to those who ask desirously?

Again, Christ invites all who are thirsty to come and drink from Him. He assures to those who drink of Him that they won’t thirst anymore. In the epistles, believers are also encouraged to desire the Spirit’s gifts. By all this, we ought to express desire, thirst and longing for The Holy Spirit.

1 Corinthians 14:1 KJV

[1] Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy.

Luke 11:13 KJV

[13] If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?

Surrender

A willing, yielding and obedient heart makes for a good dwelling place for the Spirit. It is a heart that is given to the ways of God as revealed by the Spirit.

We ought to yield control and submit to the rule and guidance of the Holy Spirit while He continually sanctifies us.

Romans 12:1 KJV

[1] I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. 

Galatians 5:16-17 KJV

[16]  This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. 

[17] For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.

Audience

Life as a believer devoid of the companionship of The Spirit amounts to a fruitless venture and rather pointless strifing. The Spirit is indispensable and we need His presence to carry us through life.

We, therefore, in acknowledgement of our need for Him, express our hunger for more of His presence. Sometimes, it may feel as if our misdeeds push Him away, but through the forgiveness of sins through the cross, we are reunited.

The song Holy Spirit by Paul Clement Ft Janice Wanjiru is exemplary for expressing this longing for the Holy Spirit, both in congregational worship and for personal edification.
