POWER FOR GREATER SERVICE

God bless you for taking your time to study.

TOPIC: POWER FOR GREATER SERVICE

TEXT: ACTS 2:1- 4, 40, 41
SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 25th

Key verse: 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. 
One who is born again is promised the baptism with the Holy Spirit. Baptism of the Holy Spirit is also called the Promise of the Father or Power from on high. It is the infilling of a believer with the power of the Holy Spirit. This is required for effective and fruitful Christian service. It is a gift from God to His children who earnestly hunger, thirst and ask for it through prayer. The evidence of baptism with the Holy Spirit is speaking in tongues by the enabling of the Holy Spirit. “And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance” Acts 2:4 
Every believer has the Holy Spirit called the Spirit of Christ in him. But not every believer is baptized or filled with the Holy Spirit. To receive the Holy Spirit baptism, the believer needs to hunger and thirst for it, then seek the face of the Lord in importunate prayer and faith for this experience. This is in fulfilment of the promise the Lord made that He was going to pour out His Spirit on His people in the end-time. 
Joel 2:28 And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:
The outpouring of the Spirit enables one to speak boldly and with authority. Those who were filled with the Holy Spirit acquired strong desire to preach and get others converted to the Lord. If you are yet to receive this Divine gift from on high, earnestly pray for it. But if you are a sinner, repent from all your sins and get sanctified then ask the Lord to energize you with this power. You need this power to work for the Lord in this end-time.

Thought for the day: Power for end-time exploits is available for as many that will hunger and thirst for it

Song for the day: Power from above, there is power from above (2x) 

Bible reading for the day: Isaiah 4-6; Galatians 3

THE LORD IS REMOVING UNCIRCUMCISED LEADERS

REMAIN BLESSED AS YOU TAKE YOUR TIME TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD. THURSDAY 30 DECEMBER THE LORD IS REMOVING UNCIRCUMCISED LEADERS TEXT: NUMBERS 14: 26-31  Key verse: Matthew 20:16 So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many  be called, but few chosen. Completion of the angelic message: The Lord continued. “Because of this mandate given to you, I am removing around you the uncircumcised leaders. I am going to fill their place with righteous and holy leaders from various nations and races.” Truly I had pondered if any minister has suffered like this. People I loved, cherished and lived peacefully with suddenly began to speak evil against me to my shock. Well, it happens in politics, but is limited to their countries, whereas mine is international! Yes, some ministers may have suffered these things, but that was before the advent of the Internet, so their sufferings were limited. Maybe through letters or newspapers for a limited time, but my own is in the world of the I...
