 NEED FOR WATER BAPTISM AND HOLY GHOST BAPTISM

TEXT: ACTS 19:1-7 

Key verse: And I knew Him not: but He that sent me to baptize with water, the 

same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining 

on Him, the same is He which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost.” (John 1:33).

Having given your life to Jesus Christ, you will need to submit yourself to water baptism. Water baptism follows repentance and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. The scriptural water baptism is one immersion into water in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.

Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.” (Matthew 28:19).

Water baptism is not for ignorant and unconverted children, nor for unrepentant adults. Those who were baptized when they were still sinners must be baptized after they have truly repented and given their lives to Jesus Christ. The apostles practiced water baptism according to the instruction given to them by the Lord, hence they baptized converts as authorized by the Lord in Mathew 28:19. 

Baptism with the Holy Ghost or gift of the Holy Ghost is the coming of the Holy Spirit upon a believer in baptismal measure with the purpose of filling him with power for effective Christian service. All believers are promised baptism with the Holy Spirit by God. This is received by prayer and faith in God's promises. The scriptural evidence of the baptism with the Holy Spirit is speaking in tongues as the Spirit inspires. Speaking in tongues as evidence of the baptism with the Holy Spirit is given to every believer who is baptized with the Holy Spirit for the purpose of prayer and personal edification. This is however different from speaking in diverse tongues as a ministerial gift in the manner of the gifts of prophecy, healing, working of miracles, etc. which God does not give to every believer.

Thought for the day: Receive both to be a full member of the Body of Christ. 

Song for the day: Holy Ghost fire, fire fall on me, like in the day of Pentecost.

Bible reading for the day: Isaiah 37-38; Philippians 3

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...

  REMAIN BLESSED AS YOU TAKE YOUR TIME TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD AMEN. PRAY CONSTANTLY                                                                      FRIDAY 11 MARCH TEXT: Luke 18: 1-7 Key verse: 1 Thessalonians 5:17; Pray without ceasing. I wish My children, whilst upon earth, to live more and more with Me in “the heavenly places”. Here, there is no fear or hurry or fret of spirit. I am gratified when you wait upon Me –which waiting I always honour. My thoughts, as you wait upon Me, are impressed upon you: all that I am must be increasingly absorbed by you. It is as you wait upon Me that I give to you that sense of calm assurance which you must carry about with you always. It comes from knowing that everything you have committed to Me is being surely worked out. Yes, immerse yourself in Me –and do ...
