Sanctification and Holy Spirit Baptism for Believers

 For taking your time to study remain blessed.

Topic: Sanctification and Holy Spirit Baptism for Believers             November Friday 20th

Text: John 17:17; Acts 1:4-5 

Key verse: Psalm 51:7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. 


It is common place for a believer growing in Christ to have inner struggle with envy, malice, anger, pride, stubbornness, lust and moral weakness, which often time defile him to his embarrassment and sorrow before God and man. This is so even though the believer is not seen committing sin outwardly as he shows forth clearly evidence of salvation from sin. The Spirit bears witness in his heart that he is a child of God, but he notices inner impurity that challenges his total freedom. These are called remnants of sin, ‘inbred sin’ or the ‘adamic nature’ in the believer. Something needs to be done to usher him into fullness of righteousness, holiness and love in Christ. What is required in the believer's life is a spiritual experience called SANCTIFICATION. Jesus prayed for all believers that they may be sanctified so that they may be ushered into full expression of holiness in their lives. 


A dirty cloth that is washed in a bowl of soap still needs a second wash in another bowl of clean water for rinsing in order to remove all dirt from it to make it completely clean. Sanctification experience is for those who are already born again to make them completely holy before God. Jesus gave Himself for the believer's sanctification and holiness. As salvation is received by repentance and faith in Christ, so also is sanctification received by consecration and faith in Christ. 


All true children of God have the Spirit of Christ in them, which is the Holy Spirit. But for the purpose of Christian service and speaking in tongues, God promises every believer baptism with the Holy Spirit. This experience gives the believer higher power for Christian service. The believer baptized with the Spirit speaks in tongues by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit as evidence that he has received the baptism of the Holy Spirit. Speaking in tongues is God's divine provision for the believer to strengthen and increase his prayer power. Ask God earnestly for baptism with the Holy Spirit. Ask importunately until you notice yourself speaking in tongues by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. Amen!


Thought for the day: Let the believer ask the Lord to sanctify his heart and God shall do it

Song for the day: Let the power of the Lord come down, Amen....

Bible reading for the day: 

Ezekiel 22-23; James 2

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
