BAPTISM IN THE HOLY SPIRIT: A BOOST IN EVANGELISM

God bless you for taking your time to study.

TOPIC: BAPTISM IN THE HOLY SPIRIT: A BOOST IN EVANGELISM 
  
TEXT: ACTS 1: 1-5
 
FRIDAY DECEMBER 9th 

Key verse: Acts 1:8. But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost comes upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.  
Jesus Christ and the apostles preached that one who is born again is promised baptism in the Holy Spirit. This is called, “the promise of the Father”. Baptism in the Holy Spirit is the infilling of a believer with the power of the Holy Spirit. This is required for effective and fruitful Christian service. The initial evidence of the baptism in the Holy Spirit is speaking in other tongues by the enablement of the Holy Spirit.
Every believer in Christ has the Holy Spirit (the Spirit of Christ) in him or her but not every believer is baptized or filled with the Holy Spirit in baptismal measure. To receive the Holy Spirit baptism, a believer needs to believe that it is God’s will for him or her. In hunger and thirst for baptism in the Holy Spirit, he or she needs to seek the face of the Lord as an important prayer and exercise strong faith for this experience.
Acts 2: 4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
All Disciples of Christ are commissioned by the Lord to go into the world and preach the gospel to every human creature. The commission entails going out to tell sinners everywhere the good news of salvation in Christ, baptizing those who accept or believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and teaching the believers all the word of God. This is required for their freedom, righteousness, holiness, victory, fruitfulness, and eternal Life. It is not enough for a man to be born again. Without full obedience to every word of God and holiness, no man shall see the Lord. There is a need for baptism in the Holy Spirit because without the Spirit’s filling, achieving the great commission would be almost impossible.

Thought for the day: Be filled with the Holy Spirit.

Song for the day: Holy Ghost power, power fall on me…

Bible reading for the day: Hosea 1-4 Jude

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
