TOPIC: DESIRED QUALITIES OF WORKERS IN HOLINESS REVIVAL MOVEMENT WORLDWIDE (2)

TEXT: ACTS 2:1-4 
1. And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. 
2. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
3.  And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.
4. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

KEY VERSE: ACTS 1:8 But ye shall receive power; after that, the Holy Ghost will 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.

In every organization, workers are trained and equipped with the necessary skills and knowledge to operate maximally for optimum profit. God employs laborers in His vineyard to bear abiding fruit. The disciples had worked with the Master for three and a half years, and now they were to face the world themselves after his ascension. 

But He commanded them not to go into the field of service but to wait for the promise of the Father. The divine counsel came from Jesus Himself to the disciples. He did not want them to think they could carry out the service simply because He had sent them out before to preach, teach, and do signs and wonders to various degrees but He commanded them to wait for the power of the Holy Spirit.

Christian workers who desire to offer fruitful, lasting, and abiding exploits in the kingdom must first be baptized in the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit power gives you divine enablement to serve productively in the vineyard. 

He gives grace to believers to do the perfect will of God. He gives wisdom, knowledge, and understanding in your area of service. He gives you spiritual gifts for ease of operation. You are able to carry out the service of God effortlessly. When you are empowered by the Holy Spirit, it will no longer be you again, but God takes over to do the work Himself. That is when the service becomes a perfect and reasonable service acceptable to God.

Again, the Holy Spirit baptism makes you fervent in spirit and makes the zeal of the Lord consume you. You are not easily dissuaded, confused, or distracted. It makes you bold in service and ready to pass through any form of persecution. He makes you ready to endure and suffer long until you accomplish your mission. Dearly beloved brethren, if you have not been baptized, be hungry and thirst for it in prayer unto God, and you will receive it.

Thought for the day: the Holy Spirit baptism ensures more fruitful abiding exploits.

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 ...
