WISDOM FOR THE DAY DEVOTIONAL
By Bishop Mike Okonkwo
SUNDAY 12th APRIL 2026
TOPIC: PRAY IN THE HOLY GHOST
“Likewise the Spirit helpeth our infirmities; for we know not what we should pray for as we ought; but the Spirit Himself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.” Romans 8:26 KJV
Beloved, one of the greatest grace gifts that God gave to the church is praying in the Holy Ghost. Unfortunately, the church is forgetting it. We are spiritual and supernatural people. Things happen to us supernaturally. The Bible says there is a mystery ordained for your glory, and it is already inside you.
Sometimes, you do not know the thing that will launch you to the front line, but through the prayer language of the Spirit, you can connect it. Though your mind is unfruitful, yet your prayer is doing damage in the realm of the Spirit, wreaking havoc, dismantling the powers of hell, and positioning you for what God has ordained.
It is a mystery ordained for our glory. We speak it in the Spirit. Some of us today are products of what we spoke about many years ago. Our church building is a product of what was spoken.
Different things that have happened in your life are the result of what you spoke about many years ago, though you did not know that you were conquering territories.
As you open your mouth to pray, you are taking over territories and business empires. The Bible says the Spirit helps our infirmities. So, when you pray in the Holy Ghost, it is a perfect prayer. You are building up yourself on your most holy faith.
There is a level of faith distinction released when you pray in the Holy Spirit. It is called “most holy faith.” Not all faith is most holy. When you release it in the Spirit, you will be springing surprises. Anywhere you go, ideas will just pop out.
As believers, we are not supposed to be bereft of ideas. Jesus was never stranded. He knew what to do. We are not supposed to be confused. That is why the Holy Spirit will bring things to your remembrance and guide you into all truth. He will show you things to come.
