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

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...
