MEMORY VERSE: “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
BIBLE TEXT: Acts 5:12-16 (KJV)
12 And by the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders wrought among the people; (and they were all with one accord in Solomon’s porch.
13 And of the rest, no man join himself to them, but the people magnified them.
14 And believers were the more added to the Lord, multitudes both men and women.)
15 Insomuch that they brought forth the sick into the streets, and laid them on beds and couches, that at the least the shadow of Peter passing by might overshadow some of them.
16 There came also a multitude out of the cities round about unto Jerusalem, bringing sick folks, and them which were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed every one.
LESSON INTRODUCTION: By manifestation, we refer to the ways the Holy Spirit moves, shows, displays distinctly beyond question and works in and with believers to produce visible signs and results that glorify God.
LESSON AIM: To have understanding that manifestation comes after the baptism of Holy Spirit
TEACHING OBJECTIVES: At the end of the lesson, members should be able to:
i. Know reasons why believers need to manifest the Spirit.
ii. Have biblical instances where the power of the Holy Spirit was manifested.
TEXT REVIEW: Acts 5:12-16
i. Before there can be a manifestation of the Holy Spirit, there must be purity.
ii. There is no impossibility to what Holy Spirit can do once there is unity.
