IS HOLY GHOST BAPTISM MANDATORY BEFORE SERVICE?

FOR TAKING YOUR TIME TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD REMAIN BLESSED.

IS HOLY GHOST BAPTISM MANDATORY BEFORE SERVICE?  
MAY Tuesday 18th
TEXT: Acts 2: 14-20
Key verse: 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.
Some denominations erroneously teach that all Christian workers must be baptized in the Holy Ghost before rendering any form of service in the church because the Bible says, wait in Jerusalem until ye be endued with power from on high? The proper study of the scriptures is required. 
The disciples of Jesus Christ were Christian workers under His ministry although they were not baptized in the Holy Ghost. They were born again, had the word of God, the name of Jesus and by these, they were able to go forth and preach the gospel, cast out devils and heal the sick. This they did although not yet baptized in the Holy Ghost. 
Today, believers should go forth and serve the Lord as the early disciples did even when they were not baptized in the Holy Spirit. The phrase, “Tarry ye in Jerusalem until” does not refer to you because the Holy Spirit has already come down, and you have the Spirit of God, so what are you waiting for? Move and preach the gospel, the baptism shall meet you on the way as you pray fervently. 
It is essential to be baptized in the Holy Spirit. If for instance, you have a motorcycle and you are offered a vehicle will you not go for it? Can you compare a motorcycle with a vehicle? There is a greater glory, greater performance and greater manifestation when you are baptized in the Holy Ghost evidenced by speaking in tongues. 
Even speaking in tongues itself is a great advantage to seek the baptism in the Holy Ghost because the tongues can be the language of angels. The language of tongues is a language of mystery. Praying in tongues gives spiritual edification. Speaking in tongues is also a ministry gift of the Holy Ghost just as the gift of prophecy if the tongues can be interpreted. There are treasures in Christianity waiting for you at the level of baptism with the Holy Spirit.    
Thought for the day: It is essential to be baptized in the Holy Spirit. 
Song for the day: The power, the power, the Pentecostal power, Is just the...
Bible reading for the day: 
2 Kings 20-22; John 6:45-71

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...

My Spirit Will Follow You To Do My Work.  Sunday 16th November  Text: Acts 16: 9-10 Key verse: Mark 16: 20 “And they went forth and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the word with signs following, Amen.” Continuation of revelation of Brother Dieudonne:  The Lord said, “I am here to gather My people before the trumpet sounds. My Father will order the angels to sound the trumpet. Be ready! Do My work. Gather My people.” When He said that, He insisted and said, “I am gathering My people with My Spirit. When My Spirit enters, if you obey My word, My Spirit will follow you to do My work. People will listen to you and follow you. They are My chosen. If they listen to My word and reject it, let them go. Evangelize, preach My word to everybody, I am here gathering My people before My coming. If the time was not finished, would the animals have come to Noah? The time is...

Pastor Paul Rika’s Burden, Vision and Action To Reach the Unreached (2)

God's blessings will continually accompany you for dedicating time to your studies. Pastor Paul Rika’s Burden, Vision and Action To Reach the Unreached (2) Wednesday 15th October TEXT: Titus 3: 3-6   Key verse: Titus 3: 6 “Which He shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior.” I remember I was in Sao Tome and Principe as a deeper life national overseer and I was writing the book, “Divine Revelation of God’s Holiness and Judgment.” The vision the Lord gave to Michael Sambo. I was translating it into a book, with the scriptural backups to make it a sound evangelistic book. I saw that truly the world is doomed. What will I say about those who have not known Jesus among the 7 billion people on earth; those who do not even have anything to do with Him? Do I speak of the billions in Asia without understanding of Jesus? Out of the 1.4 billion in India, they are struggling to record 150 million Christians including Catholics.  Who knows Jesus then? Even among Pentecosta...
