Previous Episode: Loneliness in Leadership

In his message, Pastor Michael Moonoo shares how vital it is for us to get full and stay full of the Word and the Holy Spirit in these days we are living in. As ministers, we can’t afford to be empty or half full. We need to stay armed spiritually; we need to stay proficient and we need to stay ready!

First, be full of the Word! Matthew 4:4: But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’”

We live by the revelation of the Word of God. The meaning of the Greek word rhema is utterance, revealed knowledge and understanding gained only by fellowship. As ministers, when we are full of the Word, we make it easier for others to receive and understand the Word.

Second, be full of His Spirit! John 7:37-38: On the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.”

To stay full of His Spirit, we need to keep proficient in praying in the Holy Ghost. The rivers of living water flow from our belly, our inner man. If your church, town or region is dry, pray in the Holy Ghost until you catch the flow. Spend time drilling for the rivers of living water. Then when your cup starts to overflow, it will flood your home, it will flood your church, and then it will flood your town and region.

Also, it is vital that we are connected with others in this season. There is a refreshing that may not come anywhere else but through your connection with other ministers. When you sow refreshing, you will be refreshed yourself.
