THE BAPTISM OF THE SPIRIT QUICKENS YOU

THE BAPTISM OF THE SPIRIT QUICKENS YOU But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.  Rom. 8:11 When the Spirit of God comes upon you, you’ll begin to manifest supernaturally; your body would be able to exert extra ordinary feats. Samson would rent a lion like he would have rent a kid because the spirit of God came on him, he also with the jaw of an Ass kill thousands of Philistines armies; the spirit of God quickens our body to perform supernaturally. Then went Samson down, and his father and his mother, to Timnath, and came to the vineyards of Timnath: and, behold, a young lion roared against him.  And the Spirit of the LORD came mightily upon him, and he rent him as he would have rent a kid, and he had nothing in his hand: but he told not his father or his mother what he had done.  Judges 14:5-6 The spirit of God enables us to excel

THE BAPTISM OF THE HOLY GHOST

THE MINISTERS CHAPEL INTERNATIONAL TOPIC: THE BAPTISM OF THE HOLY GHOST INTRODUCTION: in the Old Testament, God uses only some selected people, these people He baptizes with His spirit and they are used by God to do extra ordinary feats. Sampson had incredible power that made him deliver the Jew from the hands of the philistines, Moses performed great miracles and brought Israel out of bondage and John the Baptist prepared the way of the Lord etc. all these they were able to do because they had been baptized in the Holy Ghost. The baptism of the Holy Ghost though came with a prize; they were to avoid strong drinks (alcohols) and control their appetite for food. In Joel 2:28 God promises that He won’t select just few for the Baptism of His spirit, rather He’ll give everyone the privilege of this experience . QUESTION/DISCUSSION: 1.      HOW MANY TYPES OF BAPTISM DO WE HAVE?  I indeed have baptized you with water: but he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost.  Mark 1: 8 the bap

THE BAPTISM OF THE SPIRIT EMPOWERS YOU

Image
THE BAPTISM OF THE SPIRIT EMPOWERS YOU God grants us His power and life when we become baptized in His spirit. Peter was filled with fear and lacked courage; he denied Christ three times though he had pledged never to deny Christ but after He was baptized in the spirit, he became bold and courageous and was willing to die instead of hide for the course of the gospel. Are you living in fear? Do you lack the courage to stand for what is right and just? Do you fall into sin after you’ve pledged not to? Do you want to be empowered? You need the baptism of the spirit of God. I’ve shared this story before let me share it again, my former boy who waits on me didn’t believe in the baptism of the Holy spirit, in fact he laughs at those who were being moved by God’s spirit and accused them of performing arts and drama. He accused me of pushing people and boasted he can never be moved by it. One day he was in church when I taught about the Baptism of the Holy Spirit and invited whoever wa

WHO IMPACTS THE HOLY SPIRIT BAPTISM?

WHO IMPACTS THE HOLYSPIRIT BAPTISM? I desire to be baptized in the Holy Spirit, who impacts it? If that’s your question then you are the reason I’m doing this post. John the Baptist rightly answered the above question I indeed have baptized you with water: but he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost.  Mark 1: 8 Water baptism which is by immersion in a river is done by men or the church but the baptism of the Holy Spirit is ministered by Christ Himself. Jesus shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost. Do you want to experience the baptism of the Holy Ghost; you have to ask God for it. God can baptize us directly just like it happened in the upper room in Acts 2 without any human agent and He can also use those whom had received the baptism of the Holy Spirit to impact it on others by the laying of their hands or the communication of faith (Acts 19) We don’t decide to God what agency He chooses to use in baptizing those who desires in the Holy Ghost baptism. Before yo

HAVE YOU RECIEVED THE HOLY GHOST?

HAVE YOU RECEIVED THE HOLY SPIRIT? He said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost.  Acts 19:2 After you believed in Christ Jesus, have you received the Holy Ghost? Have you being baptized in the spirit? 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.  Acts 1:8 When you are baptized, you’ll receive power, you’ll function in a higher dimension of faith and boldness and you’ll be able to pray in tongues to build yourself in the faith. Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.  For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the LORD our

SHOULD WE STILL PAY TITHE

Image
SHOULD WE STILL PAY TITHE? This question have repeatedly come to me; well, I responded, do we still need to be delivered from devourers that devours our wealth like diseases, court cases, accidents and problems etc (Mal. 3: 10-11)? If you want God to open the windows of heaven continually for you, you must pay tithe. Tithe is never yours to keep or debate whether to pay or not. Many of you haven’t paid tithe since this year and you are busy asking if it’s in the New Testament. In the New Testament, they gave their all oh; you forget the story of Ananias and Sapphira (Acts 5)? They didn’t bring their all after pledging to and God took their lives. So if you want to give according to how the saints gave in the New Testament believing they didn’t tithe, get ready! They even sold their lands to fund the ministry and submitted all their properties, I know now you’ll prefer giving one tenth than giving you all in accordance to the New Testament saints. The Apostles wouldn’t mention one

DONT SPEAK EVIL OF YOURSELF

Image
DON’T SPEAK EVIL OF YOURSELF I’ve been sick since last week, my head has being aching, I’m vomiting and purging and feeling weaker over and over again, in fact I’m dying when actually, you are only having headaches. Things have been very hard for me; I’ve not eaten since yesterday. No money, no job and things are hard when actually you just ate some hours ago and you got some money on your account. These are some examples of how people in order to attract sympathy, give excuse for failing to pay their debt or do their duties or beg for help etc. exaggerate their problems For the Scriptures say, "If you want to enjoy life and see many happy days, keep your tongue from speaking evil and your lips from telling lies. 1 Pet. 3:10 Your life will continue to roll out according to your daily confessions. As you’ve spoken to God’s hear so shall it be performed unto you. Num. 14:28 If you want to enjoy life, and live long, stop speaking evil about yourself. If what you want to

THE MINISTERS CHAPEL INTERNATIONAL TOPIC: I CAN TEXT: I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.  Phil. 4:13 INTRODUCTION: the child of God receives the all enabling spirit of God when he became born-again. Therefore there is no limit to what the child of God can do and there is no knowledge he can’t acquire. Today we shall be studying how the HolySpirit enables the child of God in all skills and know-how QUESTIONS/DISCUSSION 1.     INFINITE KNOWLEDGE: ‘But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things… John 14:26’ the Holyspirit will teach the believer who desires knowledge ALL THINGS. There I s no subject or topic a child of God can’t understand or be able to teach others because of the work of the Holyspirit in him. No matter how difficult a subject is, or a topic is hard to understand for the lay-man, the child of God knows it. 2.     INFINITE SKILLS: the spirit of God will impact whatsoev
