Judges 3:7-11
[7] So the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord. They forgot the Lord their God, and served the Baals and Asherahs. 
[8] Therefore the anger of the Lord was hot against Israel, and He sold them into the hand of Cushan-Rishathaim king of Mesopotamia; and the children of Israel served Cushan-Rishathaim eight years. 
[9] When the children of Israel cried out to the Lord, the Lord raised up a deliverer for the children of Israel, who delivered them: Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb’s younger brother. 
[10] The Spirit of the Lord came upon him, and he judged Israel. He went out to war, and the Lord delivered Cushan-Rishathaim king of Mesopotamia into his hand; and his hand prevailed over Cushan-Rishathaim. 
[11] So the land had rest for forty years. Then Othniel the son of Kenaz died.

MFM Daily Devotional Message Friday, 9th January, 2026.

As believers, the Holy Spirit plays the all-important role of a helper in our lives. Sometimes, we get overwhelmed and feel that life has handed us more than we can handle or that we have been called to accomplish more than we can. We need to partner with the Holy Spirit and give Him room to play His roles as a helper in our everyday lives. This will enable us to record resounding victory and phenomenal success where others are recording defeat and failure. The Holy Spirit helps us (believers) in the following ways:

First, the Holy Spirit convinces and convicts unbelievers of sin, draws them to Christ and makes them see their need for salvation. After salvation, He continues to work in the lives of believers, helping them to grow and mature spiritually. He is the Spirit of truth; He testifies of Jesus to us and points us to Jesus. He also gives us the boldness to witness about Jesus.

Second, the Holy Spirit teaches us all things and brings to our remembrance the things that Jesus had taught us (John 14:26). In Luke 12:11-12, Jesus, affirming this role of the Holy Spirit, told His disciples not to panic when they have to speak in defence of the gospel because the Holy Spirit would teach them what to say. In 1 Corinthians 2:3, Apostle Paul revealed that the Holy Spirit interprets spiritual truths to us and fills us with spiritual wisdom and understanding.

Finally, the Holy Spirit helps us by giving us specific instructions. We must be sensitive to the Holy Spirit's promptings all the time and carry out His instructions to the letter. We must make it a habit to always ask Him what He wants us to do in all situations. The Holy Spirit helped the apostles on many occasions. In Acts 13:2, while the apostles were worshipping and fasting, He told them, "Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them."

Beloved, the Lord has given you His Spirit to help you overcome challenges and solve problems, just as He did for Othniel, Joshua, Samson, David, Ezekiel, Daniel and the apostles. Make His Spirit your senior partner and seek His help today!
