BAPTISM IN THE HOLY SPIRIT: A BOOST IN EVANGELISM

God bless you for taking your time to study.

TOPIC: BAPTISM IN THE HOLY SPIRIT: A BOOST IN EVANGELISM 
  
TEXT: ACTS 1: 1-5
 
FRIDAY DECEMBER 9th 

Key verse: Acts 1:8. But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost comes upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.  
Jesus Christ and the apostles preached that one who is born again is promised baptism in the Holy Spirit. This is called, “the promise of the Father”. Baptism in the Holy Spirit is the infilling of a believer with the power of the Holy Spirit. This is required for effective and fruitful Christian service. The initial evidence of the baptism in the Holy Spirit is speaking in other tongues by the enablement of the Holy Spirit.
Every believer in Christ has the Holy Spirit (the Spirit of Christ) in him or her but not every believer is baptized or filled with the Holy Spirit in baptismal measure. To receive the Holy Spirit baptism, a believer needs to believe that it is God’s will for him or her. In hunger and thirst for baptism in the Holy Spirit, he or she needs to seek the face of the Lord as an important prayer and exercise strong faith for this experience.
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.
All Disciples of Christ are commissioned by the Lord to go into the world and preach the gospel to every human creature. The commission entails going out to tell sinners everywhere the good news of salvation in Christ, baptizing those who accept or believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and teaching the believers all the word of God. This is required for their freedom, righteousness, holiness, victory, fruitfulness, and eternal Life. It is not enough for a man to be born again. Without full obedience to every word of God and holiness, no man shall see the Lord. There is a need for baptism in the Holy Spirit because without the Spirit’s filling, achieving the great commission would be almost impossible.

Thought for the day: Be filled with the Holy Spirit.

Song for the day: Holy Ghost power, power fall on me…

Bible reading for the day: Hosea 1-4 Jude

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...
