POWER OF THE HOLY GHOST
SUNDAY JUNE 18
TEXT: ACTS 10:38
Key Verse: “And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions” Joel 2: 28
Beloved, do you know Jesus Christ was successful in His ministry by the power of the Holy Ghost. You too can live the life of Christ and be successful in your ministry under the unction of the Holy Ghost, that is why He promised, “ye shall receive power after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem and in all Judea and in Samaria and unto the uttermost parts of the earth” Acts 1: 8. The subject of the Holy Ghost spans from the beginning of the Scriptures to the very end. No believer can go far or achieve anything in his Christian life without the power, influence, control and strength of the Holy Ghost. The Holy Ghost is a Divine Personality, every born again believer at the point of salvation receives a measure of the Holy Ghost, but for a full outpouring one needs to be baptized in the Holy Ghost.
You need to thirst and hunger for this experience and pray fervently for it. All preaching becomes more effective and all efforts are productive when a believer receives the Holy Spirit fire to subdue all obstacles and opposition in the field of evangelism and Christian service. Although the task is very urgent, yet there is need to tarry in prayer until you are endued with the power from on high to do exploits for the Lord. However, before a Christian can receive this Holy Ghost experience, he needs to be sanctified and made holy. A heart that is not freed from inbred sin cannot receive and retain the Holy Ghost. This is why God promises to sanctify all that thirst after righteousness. Above all, he must ask God in faith. The initial evidence of the Holy Ghost baptism experience is speaking in an unlearned tongue as the Spirit gives utterance. This is the pattern as witnessed severally in the life and ministry of the apostles. Arise and pray through for the promise is unto you, even as many as the Lord shall call.
Thought for the day: Have you receive the Holy Ghost since you believed?
Song for the day: Holy Ghost fire, fire fall on me (2x)……
Bible reading for the day: Nehemiah 7-8; Acts 3

For taking your time to study remain blessed. August Tuesday 27th TOPIC: CORRECT WATER BAPTISM TEXT: Mark 16:15-16 KEY VERSE: Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. The believer requires water baptism. The baptism that Jesus commanded is in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. It is done by immersion in water because the three Persons are One. In Acts of the Apostles, the people were baptizing in the name of Jesus. They used the phrase “in the name of Jesus” to indicate that the baptism was carried out as authorized by Jesus, and the baptism authorized by Jesus is that which is done in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. It is not to say that they dip people in water and say, “I baptize you in the name of Jesus.” The name of Jesus cannot represent the Godhead. The Father is not Jesus, the Holy Spirit is not Jesus, Jesus is God who be
