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 became Man, but the Father was still there and the Holy Ghost was still there in the Godhead. These three make up one Divine Being, so you cannot baptize with the human name of Jesus, rather you baptize with the fullness of the Godhead because the Father was involved in the salvation of that sinner, Jesus of course came down for the salvation of that sinner being the Son, and the Holy Spirit was involved in the salvation of the sinner and the three Persons who make one God are in agreement on this matter. 

You are submitting the saved man to the Trinity, that is why you baptize them in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost. You are showing that the Father was involved in his salvation: Father we commit him to You; the Son was involved in the salvation of that person: Jesus, the Son of God, we commit him unto You; the Holy Spirit was also involved in the salvation of that person: Holy Spirit we commit this person unto You. Note also that the baptism should be by immersion in water; either a pool of water or shallow side of a flowing river for safety. Complete immersion and lifting up symbolizes burial and resurrection with Jesus and formal admission into the body of Christ. Note also that baptism is not by sprinkling of water or for infants.

Thought for the day: If you have not done your water baptism in the right way, redo it to fulfil all righteousness.
Song for the day:   Make me ready, make me ready, make me ready O Lord.
Bible reading for the day:
Psalms 132-135; 1 Corinthians 8

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...
