TOPIC: HOLY GHOST BATISM IS FOR EFFECTIVE SERVICE
TEXT: Acts 2:1-4
KEY VERSE: Acts 19:6 And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied.

After you have washed a cloth, rinsed it and dried it, what is the other thing you do? The next thing is ironing to make it smooth and suitable for wearing. Similarly, after your born again experience as the first work of grace, and sanctification as the second work of grace, you need a third work of grace for a smooth and effective service in the vineyard of God. This is called baptism in the Holy Ghost.  Some people wash their clothes and put them on without ironing. It will show some roughness but they don’t mind. But some other people will not that. They want their clothes well ironed to make it look good and fine on their body. Those who know its value yearn for Holy Ghost baptism while many others are satisfied going about their Christianity without experiencing the baptismal power of the Holy Ghost. This is permissible since Holy Ghost baptism, unlike salvation and sanctification, is not a prerequisite for heaven. Only sin can hinder you from heaven and you have settled that in sanctification.  But baptism in the Holy Spirit is for service.

Acts 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.  From this scripture, we could see that Holy Ghost baptism is for service. It is baptism of the Holy Ghost that would enable Jesus’ disciples carry out the Great Commission He asked them to carry out in Jerusalem, in Judea, in Samaria, and throughout the world. Praise the Lord!  So, baptism in the Holy Spirit is not for you to go to heaven. No! You are already qualified; you are already cleansed from sin; already your heart has been made holy when you were sanctified; so it is only for service yet you will require it because it also has the accompanying benefit of speaking in tongues, which helps your prayer life.  Speaking in tongues is the outward manifestation of baptism of the Holy Ghost as seen in several portions of the scripture beginning from the first experience at Pentecost. 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. Ask Jesus for this third work of grace in your life to help you render effective service to the Lord.

Thought for the day:   Earnestly pray for the baptism of the Holy Ghost if you are yet to receive it.
Song for the day:   Send down Your fire, we pray Thee oh Lord, send down the……..
Bible reading for the day:
Psalms 38-40; Acts 23:12-35

For taking your time to study remain blessed. 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...

TOPIC: HOW TO BE SANCTIFIED (PART 2)

HOLINESS REVIVAL MOVEMENT WORLDWIDE HOREMOW DAILY DEVOTIONAL BY PASTOR PAUL RIKA INTERNATIONAL DIRECTOR. DATE: FRIDAY JULY 17, 2026. TOPIC: HOW TO BE SANCTIFIED (PART 2) TEXT: HEBREWS 11:1-6 1. Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. 2. For by it the elders obtained a good report. 3. Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. 4. By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh. 5. By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God. 6. But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligent...
