TOPIC: HOLY GHOST BAPTISM IN CHRISTIAN MINISTRY
TEXT: ACTS 10:44-47
KEY VERSE: Act 1:8 But 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 Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

Holy Ghost baptism signifies the power of God in a believer. The Holy Ghost as the third Person of the Godhead indwells the believer for spiritual guidance and empowerment enabling him to live and serve in the perfect will of God. Baptism in the Holy Ghost is one the key goals of our Lord’s mission on earth. He had specifically instructed His disciples not to begin their ministry until they had been baptized in the Holy Ghost and endued with power from on high. This followed the pattern of what Jesus Christ Himself experienced, for He did not enter His ministry until He was anointed with Holy Ghost and power. Holy Ghost baptism is the work of grace in the life of a believer subsequent to spiritual regeneration although it could take place simultaneously as experienced in the house of Cornelius (Acts 10:44-45). The initial outward manifestation of Holy Ghost baptism is speaking in tongues. Apart from this initial sign, subsequent manifestations in the life of the believer include power of courage, boldness, confidence and authority to witness which all produce extraordinary results.

Other results of baptism in the Holy Ghost include:

a) Prophetic utterances and praise
b) Greater sensitivity to sin and consciousness of God’s judgment against all ungodliness
c) Stronger desire to live holy and righteous life that pleases God
d) Ability to live a life that brings glory to God
e) Deeper vision and spiritual insight
f) Manifestation of various gifts of the Holy Spirit for edification of the church
g) Fervency in prayer
h) Deeper love for God and the brethren
i) Growing interest in the word of God and deeper understanding of it
j) Deeper personal relationship with God as Abba Father

Thought for the day: Earnestly desire the Holy Ghost baptism
Song for the day: I have no power of my own (2x) I confess to you Holy Spirit Divine
Bible reading for the day:
Leviticus 20-21; Matthew 28

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
