Season 4 - Episode 100: Empowered by the HOLY SPIRIT | John Giftah | Christian Sermon
Tonight's Episode
This episode marks an incredible milestone — Episode 100 of Season 4 and more than 1,000 episodes of the podcast journey.One question I’m often asked is: How do you manage to do so many things? Between ministry, content creation, and a full-time job, many people wonder how it is possible to stay consistent.
The truth is simple: it’s not about human strength or time management alone.
The Bible tells us in Acts 10:38 that JESUS Himself was anointed by the HOLY SPIRIT and with power, and because of that He went around doing good and fulfilling His mission.
Even JESUS operated through the power of the HOLY SPIRIT.
In this episode, John Giftah shares how fulfilling our calling, staying consistent, and living an effective life is only possible when we depend on the empowerment of the HOLY SPIRIT.
When you rely on GOD’s Spirit, what seems impossible through human effort becomes possible through His power.
📜 Key Scripture
Acts 10:38 (NLT)
And you know that GOD anointed JESUS of Nazareth with the HOLY SPIRIT and with power. Then JESUS went around doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for GOD was with him.

Speaker 1: Welcome to Fuel for the Soul with John GIFTA.
Speaker 2: Hey, everyone, is such a joy for me to join
Speaker 2: you today on this segment of the Fuel for the
Speaker 2: Soul with John Gifta podcast. If you've been checking out
Speaker 2: our regular segments this whole week, we've been talking about
Speaker 2: the importance of the Holy Spirit in our lives to
Speaker 2: live the kind of life that God wants us to live.
Speaker 2: Sometimes the Holy Spirit becomes more of a theoretical aspect
Speaker 2: that we think about or just involve him in accordance
Speaker 2: with the scripture. But the truth of the method is
Speaker 2: the Holy Spirit is a real person and you need
Speaker 2: to develop your relationship with the Holy Spirit so that
Speaker 2: you can actually live out the Christian life that God
Speaker 2: wants you to live. So today, before I continue, I
Speaker 2: just want to share something exciting with you guys that
Speaker 2: this particular episode, especially on this particular series that I'm doing.
Speaker 2: This is the fourth season of this podcast, and we're
Speaker 2: completing one hundred episodes of this podcast in the series,
Speaker 2: with over almost thousand and three hundred total episodes on
Speaker 2: the podcast right. I've been doing this consistently for a
Speaker 2: long time, and I just thought it was in accordance
Speaker 2: with what I wanted to share with you guys today
Speaker 2: on this segment of this podcast, because I wanted to
Speaker 2: understand a lot of people who might have listened to
Speaker 2: me regularly, but at the same time, many of you
Speaker 2: are listening to me regularly or especially you found me recently.
Speaker 2: Especially a big shout out to those or listening to
Speaker 2: me on cast bocks, because we suddenly saw a surge
Speaker 2: in the subscribership and growth on cast box, and I
Speaker 2: really want to thank you and appreciate you guys for
Speaker 2: doing this connect with me through the social media. I
Speaker 2: would love to hear from you guys on how this
Speaker 2: podcast has been a blessing to you guys, and do
Speaker 2: share this with your friends and a lot of ones.
Speaker 2: It would really mean a lot if you can leave
Speaker 2: a rating, especially if you're listening to this on Spotify
Speaker 2: or any of the Apple podcasts or any of those platforms.
Speaker 2: Ratings and reviews will really go a long way as well.
Speaker 2: So really really grateful to God because over the years
Speaker 2: you might have known this, heard about this by this
Speaker 2: podcast ranking in multiple platforms, on multiple categories, on multiple countries.
Speaker 2: And I'm so grateful to God for all of these things.
Speaker 2: And I don't do this for those things, you know.
Speaker 2: I don't do this for the ranking and in chase
Speaker 2: the ranking. I just want to do is because the
Speaker 2: Lord has empowered me and is enabling me to do
Speaker 2: this despite the fact that I'm working in a full
Speaker 2: time corporate job. I'm running the daily, the ministry, the podcast,
Speaker 2: YouTube channel, social media ministry, as well as traveling and
Speaker 2: ministrying and authoring books. It's not an easy thing. People
Speaker 2: often ask me, how do you manage to do so
Speaker 2: many things? I find it hard and not only manage
Speaker 2: to do so many things, but also to be consistent
Speaker 2: at it, you know, Like the reason I'm talking about
Speaker 2: all of these numbers. Is not too bos to see
Speaker 2: how I've done this. I was talking to someone the
Speaker 2: other day. I think, you know, like in total life,
Speaker 2: like so many thousands of sermons I've preached in the
Speaker 2: last so many years, right, I've been running the ministry
Speaker 2: for this is the fourteenth year, and I'm like, oh
Speaker 2: my gosh, like so many sermons, TV clips, TV sermons, podcasts, YouTube,
Speaker 2: social media, like so many things, and even on YouTube,
Speaker 2: I'm finishing ten years on the YouTube channel, you know,
Speaker 2: posting consistently from a studio like for the past ten years.
Speaker 2: Why am I sharing this is that people after asking
Speaker 2: how do you manage to do so many things? And
Speaker 2: I think the answer is what I want to share.
Speaker 2: The Bible says in Acts ten was thirty eight. It
Speaker 2: says how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth. This is referencing
Speaker 2: to the fact that Jesus walked in earth as a man,
Speaker 2: and it says with the Holy Spirit and power, and
Speaker 2: how he went about doing good and healing all those
Speaker 2: under the power of the devil because God was with him. See,
Speaker 2: I wanted to understand her, right, reminding you of this
Speaker 2: importance again that, you know, the reason why Jesus was
Speaker 2: able to handle so much do so much in the
Speaker 2: short span of three and a half years of ministry,
Speaker 2: he was able to be more effective than most people
Speaker 2: who would ever be effective in the long span of
Speaker 2: doing ministry for you know, like maybe three decades of ministry.
Speaker 2: Why was Jesus so effective? Why is it that even
Speaker 2: though he did ministry for three and a half years,
Speaker 2: but we are still speaking about what he did, you know,
Speaker 2: two thousand years later. It's because he didn't do this
Speaker 2: by himself. He didn't just logically do this. He didn't
Speaker 2: just manually mechanically do this. What did he do? He
Speaker 2: operated by the anoying of the Holy Spirit. Today, if
Speaker 2: there's one thing I want to remind each one of
Speaker 2: you under the sound of my voices, Yes you may
Speaker 2: have distractions. Yes you may have things coming against you.
Speaker 2: Yes you may have a lot of things, because life
Speaker 2: happens to all of us. I think I shared this
Speaker 2: with you that even this week, you know, my close
Speaker 2: family members in the hospital and I'm managing work, I'm
Speaker 2: managing the podcast, the ministry as well as you know,
Speaker 2: like running around for you know, all those household stuff
Speaker 2: I'm telling you it's not an easy thing. But the
Speaker 2: reason I'm able to handle so much is not because
Speaker 2: of me being great, but it's because the Lord is
Speaker 2: empowering me through the Holy Spirit. The more I depend
Speaker 2: on the Holy Spirit, the more the more I look
Speaker 2: up to Him and developed my relationship with the Holy
Speaker 2: Spirit and heal to the Holy Spirit. That is how
Speaker 2: I will be able to do what God wants me
Speaker 2: to do. See today, I want to tell you something, guys.
Speaker 2: You know a lot of people just try things by
Speaker 2: themselves and wonder why I'm not able to be consistent?
Speaker 2: Why am I not able to do this on a
Speaker 2: consistent basis for a longer period of time? And I'm
Speaker 2: telling you the key to be consistent. I mean, there
Speaker 2: are so many things we can look at, but one
Speaker 2: of the things is, you know, you need to operate
Speaker 2: from the power of the Holy Spirit, the empowerment of
Speaker 2: the Holy Spirit, because that is what will help you
Speaker 2: to continue for the long call. Are you getting what
Speaker 2: I'm saying these sermons? Like I mean, like I said,
Speaker 2: you know, I have handsful, right, I have so much happening,
Speaker 2: and in the midst of that, the Lord is enabling
Speaker 2: me to do this and you guys are listening and
Speaker 2: you're being blessed. I'm grateful for that. But here's the thing.
Speaker 2: How is that happening because of the empowerment of the
Speaker 2: Holy Spirit. See if Jesus, the son of the Living God,
Speaker 2: when he walked on earth as a man, If Jesus
Speaker 2: had to be anointed by the Holy Spirit and he
Speaker 2: was able to do all those good works because he
Speaker 2: was anointed by the Holy Spirit. Right, That's what acts
Speaker 2: Tentary had says. Right, I wanted to remember. If Jesus
Speaker 2: had to be anointed and he needed the power of
Speaker 2: the Holy Spirit to operate in ministry, to live, to
Speaker 2: do good works, and to do what he had been
Speaker 2: assigned to do, how much more you and I need to,
Speaker 2: you know, walk in that empowerment of the Holy Spirit,
Speaker 2: so that we will be able to share the good news.
Speaker 2: To be the light in the darkness, to complete our
Speaker 2: assignment on planet Ar, to do, you know, to be
Speaker 2: the light in the darkness even in your workplace. To
Speaker 2: shine in your studies, in your course, in your school,
Speaker 2: your college, your neighborhood, in your community. To make sure
Speaker 2: that your business is successful, so that you can build
Speaker 2: the kingdom of God through finance. I mean, whichever area
Speaker 2: of the law has been leading you, whether it's politics
Speaker 2: or entertainment or whatever. You need the Holy Spirit. You
Speaker 2: need the empowerment of the Holy Spirit. And only with
Speaker 2: his help you can be consistent. Only with his help
Speaker 2: you can continue to do good. The Bible says he
Speaker 2: went around doing good. He didn't do good once and
Speaker 2: slept for the next few days. No, No, he continued
Speaker 2: to do good. If you look at jesus schedule, he
Speaker 2: was so busy from early in the morning till late
Speaker 2: in the night. He was so busy ministering, ministering, I mean,
Speaker 2: if you minister like sometimes you know when I'm doing
Speaker 2: multiple ministry opportunities, Like even last Good Friday, I was
Speaker 2: ministering in two churches. In between I had a TV
Speaker 2: shoot and on top of that, my grandma was sick.
Speaker 2: A lot of things happening. How did I manage? How
Speaker 2: could I manage? Like with all the different expectations laid
Speaker 2: out it, how do you do that? It's because of
Speaker 2: the empowerment of the Holy Spirit. You depend on the
Speaker 2: Holy Spirit, you will walk in accordance with that, and
Speaker 2: then you will be able to accel and fulfill the
Speaker 2: purpose that God has for you. So today, my challenge
Speaker 2: to each one of you is that you will continue
Speaker 2: to depend on the Holy Spirit, continue to live out
Speaker 2: in that place where you're aware of His presence, and
Speaker 2: continue to be filled with the Spirit and walk in
Speaker 2: the Spirit. And that is how you will fulfill the
Speaker 2: purpose that God has in store for you. Immen, God
Speaker 2: bless you.
