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
