Understanding the Mission of the Holy Ghost:
A Message by Apostle Dr. Michael Mband The recent sermon by Apostle Dr. Michael Mband, titled Understanding the Mission of the Holy Ghost, delivered at Heaven Today Global, offers a profound exploration of the Holy Spirit’s role in restoration, revelation, and empowerment for believers.
This message is a timely reminder of the transformative power available to every Christian through the Holy Ghost, especially for those who feel they have lost opportunities, blessings, or purpose in life.
The Holy Ghost:
Gateway to Restoration Apostle Dr. Mband began by emphasizing that the Holy Ghost is the divine agent of restoration. He addressed the reality that many people, often from challenging family backgrounds or spiritual opposition, may have had their destinies diverted or blessings stolen—even before birth.
Drawing from personal and biblical examples, he assured listeners that the Holy Ghost has the authority and power to restore what was lost, no matter how or when it was taken.
"The Holy Ghost is the reign of restoration. It is Him that can restore... Even if your kingship was stolen, it can comeback. — Apostle Dr. Michael Mband
He warned that living without the guidance and empowerment of the Holy Ghost is risky, likening it to driving a car into the wilderness without enough fuel. Just as a car will eventually stop without fuel, so will a believer’s progress stall without the Holy Spirit’s presence.
Biblical Foundation for Restoration
Referencing Joel 2:23-27, Apostle Dr. Mband highlighted God’s promise to restore the years lost to hardship and adversity. He explained that shame often arises when provision or breakthrough is delayed or denied, but God’s restoration brings satisfaction and removes shame.
The narrative was made personal through stories of financial struggle and public embarrassment, illustrating how the loss of God-given provision can lead to shame, but also how restoration is possible through faith and the Holy Ghost.
The Holy Ghost Reveals Our Inheritance A key aspect of the Holy Ghost’s mission is to open believers’ eyes to their spiritual inheritance. Quoting 2 Corinthians 4:4 and Ephesians 1:18-21, Apostle Dr. Mband explained that many Christians suffer not because God has withheld blessings, but because they are unaware of what is rightfully theirs.
He used the analogy of a child unknowingly buying milk from cows that already belong to him, stressing that ignorance of one’s inheritance leads to unnecessary struggle. "You can never lay claim to an inheritance if you don't know anything about it... When God opens your eyes to see your inheritance in Jesus, you willgo for it. —
Apostle Dr. Michael Mband He urged believers to seek revelation from the Holy Ghost, as knowledge and understanding empower them to claim what is theirs and resist the enemy’s attempts to steal their blessings. The Holy Ghost Destroys Fear and Empowers Action Another vital mission of the Holy Ghost is to break the chains of fear that prevent believers from pursuing their God-given inheritance. Citing 2 Timothy 1:7,
Apostle Dr. Mband taught that the Spirit gives power, love, and a sound mind, enabling believers to confront adversaries—spiritual or otherwise—with boldness. He encouraged listeners to step out in faith, assured that the Holy Ghost will give them the courage needed to reclaim what belongs to them.
A Call to Restoration and Prayer
Concluding his message, Apostle Dr. Mband announced a forthcoming season of fasting and prayer, with a focus on restoration. He invited all believers to participate, declaring that whatever has been lost since birth—or even before—can and will be restored through the power of the Holy Ghost.
This sermon is a compelling call to recognize and embrace the mission of the Holy Ghost: to restore, to reveal, and to empower.
Apostle Dr. Michael Mband’s message challenges every believer to seek a deeper relationship with the Holy Spirit, to claim their inheritance, and to walk boldly in the fullness of God’s promises.
"Let us rise, seek the Holy Ghost’s guidance, and step into the restoration and inheritance that God has prepared for us."
