Sanctification and Holy Spirit Baptism for Believers

 For taking your time to study remain blessed.

Topic: Sanctification and Holy Spirit Baptism for Believers             November Friday 20th

Text: John 17:17; Acts 1:4-5 

Key verse: Psalm 51:7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. 


It is common place for a believer growing in Christ to have inner struggle with envy, malice, anger, pride, stubbornness, lust and moral weakness, which often time defile him to his embarrassment and sorrow before God and man. This is so even though the believer is not seen committing sin outwardly as he shows forth clearly evidence of salvation from sin. The Spirit bears witness in his heart that he is a child of God, but he notices inner impurity that challenges his total freedom. These are called remnants of sin, ‘inbred sin’ or the ‘adamic nature’ in the believer. Something needs to be done to usher him into fullness of righteousness, holiness and love in Christ. What is required in the believer's life is a spiritual experience called SANCTIFICATION. Jesus prayed for all believers that they may be sanctified so that they may be ushered into full expression of holiness in their lives. 


A dirty cloth that is washed in a bowl of soap still needs a second wash in another bowl of clean water for rinsing in order to remove all dirt from it to make it completely clean. Sanctification experience is for those who are already born again to make them completely holy before God. Jesus gave Himself for the believer's sanctification and holiness. As salvation is received by repentance and faith in Christ, so also is sanctification received by consecration and faith in Christ. 


All true children of God have the Spirit of Christ in them, which is the Holy Spirit. But for the purpose of Christian service and speaking in tongues, God promises every believer baptism with the Holy Spirit. This experience gives the believer higher power for Christian service. The believer baptized with the Spirit speaks in tongues by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit as evidence that he has received the baptism of the Holy Spirit. Speaking in tongues is God's divine provision for the believer to strengthen and increase his prayer power. Ask God earnestly for baptism with the Holy Spirit. Ask importunately until you notice yourself speaking in tongues by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. Amen!


Thought for the day: Let the believer ask the Lord to sanctify his heart and God shall do it

Song for the day: Let the power of the Lord come down, Amen....

Bible reading for the day: 

Ezekiel 22-23; James 2

Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern Text: Mark 16: 17 – 20 Wednesday May 8th Key verse: Obadiah 17 “Upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.” God has prepared to direct us on holy service unto Himself. He tells us when the lives and services of people are corrupt because from the heart of men proceed the works they do. When people are righteous and holy, their service is also righteous and holy. Hence, the word says, make the people holy then their service will be holy, so if you accept to live a life of holiness, then the fruit of your service will be holy. So, it is very important to accept the life of holiness because the God that made you is holy; He will give you grace to be holy. You just make up your mind to be holy. Do not accept that no man can be holy; then Jesus came for nothing, Jes...

God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider  Sunday May 12th Text: Jeremiah 3: 15 – 17 Key verse: Ezekiel 33: 11 Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel.  Receive the word that will change you, restore you, reestablish you and give you back the hope of eternal life. Come back! The Lord is pleading. Can you see the effort of God in your life? And can you see madness in your life; resisting every effort God is making. God is calling you. Retrace your ways. Follow the good old way. Go and confess those things, do not keep them. Your problem is, you want to serve God but you have not confessed your sins openly because of shame, fear and  pride which shall be dissolved in hell. That is where your problem is. Yes, you wa...
