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

UNDERSTANDING ETERNITY WEDNESDAY MAY 10 TEXT: Psalm 90: 1 - 2 Key Verse: “The Lord is King forever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land Psalm 10:16 People that understand eternity are always careful. Eternity means forever and ever, it means ever-lasting, ever-living, never dying. Trillion upon trillion years, eternity is still on, in fact it is life without end. There are two extreme ends of eternity: The kingdom of God called third heaven where God the Father, God the son, God the Holy Ghost, twenty-four elders, saints of God that make heaven, holy angels of God, and entire host of heaven dwell now presently; Hell-fire, where Satan, demons, and sinners that have died in their sins are presently kept. God is the One that introduced eternity. He lives forever. It is not a choice, the One who created us is forever, hence you will live forever, but what matters is where you will live eternally. Remove God from the way, then t...

Every Word Of God For Daily Living For taking your time to study remain blessed July Tuesday 9th TOPIC: WE ARE IN THE TWILIGHT HOUR OF RAPTURE TEXT: Ephesians 5:26-27 KEY VERSE: Hebrews 9:28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. Seeing the traces of the features of the next dispensation in this present dispensation, you should know that you are in the twilight hour. What is a twilight hour? A twilight hour is that hour of the day that you begin to see the traces of the night while it is still daylight (probably 7:00pm to 7:30pm). It is not completely dark, yet it is not complete bright either. While it is still day, you are seeing the traces of the night. A twilight hour is the hour when you are still in this dispensation but you are already seeing traces of the next. The twilight hour is the time that our Lord Jesus Christ was born and even though He came with the New Test...
