You are true witnesses to the fact that as faith

,If you have not got ,the Hojy Spirit from where
do you have life? You are dead: The 1101y" Sp.irithas
no other dwelling place. The body was made for
Him.
But for the reason that we are born of women. we
are not pure and so if we are not born again He

You are just like a dummy. It is the Holy Spirit. who
is God. that doe<; everything;
Ii you argue that you cannot be bom again; the
Holy Spirit cannot come to you. No churchwill save'
you. Prayers will not save you. Th'e government will
not save you. Your town or village will noi save you.
Juju or mermaid will not save you. except when you
are bom again and the Holy Spirit comes in and start'
HIs work.
The Holy Spirit has always beeri in eXistence: He
is the Almighty God who created heaven and earth:
When the world WM ,'Yoidand without form, the Holy
Spirit was in exirtence. '
, All things were through 'llim. The 'w1h
was, made by Him. The sun, moon and stars, all
creeping and flying creatures,the animals and the ve
getations were all made by the Holy Spirit. ,
. Adam alone ,was made from the dust andro He
was not born .of a woman. And so the 'Father brea
thed the Holy Spirit into him. Rut the Holy Spirit
left him and departed from tho entire world when hc'
disobeyed GOd.'
Right from Cain through Enoch, Noah.
ttham and the ren of them. no penon was holy. And
none of them knew. that he ought to be bom zr-U
rt
before he cou.ld enter into the Kingdom of God
And none of them saw the Klrlgdom of GOd, b<:Crlu!<2
they did not know that the Holy Spirit Was in exis,
tence. . ,
Moses did not know. Isaiah did not know. cam did
not know. Thatis why we are full of evD th01.lghts
deeds. We continue to k.il1 and fornicate and tell
lies and.hate one another.
But when the time was ripe for God to come to
the, world, He sent out John as his forerunner to bap
tize people with water. for repentance. Because once
you are washed at baptism after confessing your sins,
you will be purged and that is when the Holy Spirit
t.:an dwell imillt' you.
Must or tile disciples of Our Lord Jesus Christ
were first the (jisciplcs of John the Baptist and
were already haptized by John. If they were not bap
tized by JDhn, they would not have identified or
taken cognizance of our Lord Jesus Christ. They
would have regarded him as you still regard Him to
day.
During the advent of Our Lord Jesus Christ, no
other person was bestowed with the power of the
Holy Spirit. He had not yet shed his blood to
redeem mankind.
. Peter and the rest of the disciples were following
Itim sheepishly without knowing who He was. They
did not understand what He preached to them,
The baptism of John was for repefltance from sins
but the baptism of Our Lord Jesus Christ is for the
forgiveness' and remission of sins and it is the judg
ment. And unless your sins are remitted, you cannot
see the Kingdom ofGod.
If you have prided yourself with acqu;;ition of
degrees in theology from universities in United King
dom and United States of America, be sure that th.is
will not save you. Go and be
Do not even come to Brotherhood, you can go to
America or any other place and get baptized. And
then will you see the manifestation of the glory of
God in you.
This generation is the luckiest, be(:ause during the
advent of Our Lord Jesus Christ no person received
the Holy Spirit. This explains why He said, it is ex
pedient that I go away. Because if 1 do not to away
the Comforter will not Come. But when I go He will
come.
You, argumentator, number one doubter, go and
experiment on this word of God. Go and get
baptized, and you will see the glory of God shinning
in you. You will realise that Our Lord Jesus Christ i,
here, the Father is here, and the Holy Spirit is here
and he knows everything and is the doer of all things.
t1rethren, it is said, one Siloke of the cane is suo
rlicient unto the wise. I do not intend to be tedious
unto you. Those who have cars let them hear. May
God bless His Holy Words. A-men!
