  52. glad to see you the church, said a Lord to somebody, say it's

  56. Amen. So we thank God for bringing us together again. Amen.

  57. Isn't it a lovely thing to be in church. It's a fantastic thing to

  58. be in church. Amen. And so please be seated in the presence of

  59. the Lord. Amen. How many of our friends are returning from school?

  60. If you are returning from school, please stand. Let's welcome you back.

  61. Anyone returning from school. Amen. Oh, let's clap our hands and welcome

  62. our brethren back. Amen. Some of them have graduated, Dixon, have

  66. with us for the first time? Amen? Oh, please standing, let's

  67. welcome you. We have one person worshiping with us for the very first time.

  68. Amen. You're welcome. Amen. This is Action Chapel International Youth Church.

  69. Amen. You're most welcome. Amen. Please be seated. Amen.

  70. All of you doing the siren sounds that how many people have you brought to

  71. church? Amen? Next we bring somebody to church. Hallelujah, and so

  72. on. Behalf of our Father in the Lord. The Archbishop Nicholas welcome you

  73. or to church this morning. Amen. The month of June has been declared

  74. by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit as our month of spiritual and phasis.

  75. Amen. So in the month of June, we are studying everything that we

  76. can about God. We are studying every and anything we can about the Holy

  77. Spirit. Amen. And so last week, by the grace of God,

  78. we started our teaching with Pentecost. How many of you are in church last

  79. week? Amen? We started our teaching with Pentecost. And before Jesus ascended

  80. to Heaven, he said to his disciples go back to Jerusalem and tarry there

  81. and wait for the promise of the Father. Between last week and this week,

  82. we've come to understand that the promise of the Father is the Holy Spirit.

  83. Because when they did go and waited and prayed and saw the face of

  84. God. The Holy Spirit will poured out on them as a mighty Russian wind.

  85. And many miracles happened after that that many people who were far from far

  86. away could understand their prayer, they could understand their tongues, and they could

  87. hear how they were speaking about God's marvelous works. And because of that,

  88. it led three thousand people to Christ in one day. Amen. And so

  89. we've also come to understand that the purpose of the Holy Spirit in our lives

  90. is to empower us, give us power, for you shall receive power after

  91. the Holy Spirit has come upon you. And the power we have received or

  92. we are about to receive, is to make us a witness of Jesus Christ.

  93. Can I hear? And Amen? And so today we want to speak.

  94. I want to speak to you about the promise of the Father, who

  95. is the promise of the Father, who is the Holy Spirit. Amen,

  96. Blessing. I'm going to tend this off because it's distracting me. Next week

  97. we can try it. Amen. And so let's take our foundation scripture from

  98. Acts chapter one, verse four to five. Acts chapter one, four to

  99. five, and the Bible says that being assembled together with them, he commanded

  100. them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the

  101. Father. If you have a Bible, underline the promise of the Father,

  102. which he said, you have heard from me from John truly baptized you with

  103. water. But you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from

  104. now. And so this was before Jesus ascended to heaven. For those of

  105. you who are in church last week, you you got to know something about

  106. Jesus that when he resurrected, he didn't go straight to heaven. He stayed

  107. on earth with his disciples for forty days. And during the forty days he

  108. spoke to them about the Kingdom of God. He spoke to them about the

  109. purpose of God. He spoke to them about the will of God. And

  110. on the day of ascension, on the mount of all lives, he said

  111. to them, don't leave Jerusalem. Stay until the promise of the Father comes.

  112. Amen. Let's look at another scripture, asked chapter one eight as another

  113. foundation scripture asked Chapter one, verse eight, and the Bible says that but

  114. you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you

  115. shall be witnesses to me in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and

  116. to the ends of the earth a man. Last week, also while we're

  117. treating Pentecost, we understood that Pentecost is not just the name of a church,

  118. but it is actually a festival that is celebrated in the Jewish custom in

  119. Israel every year. And usually Pentecost falls between the end of May getting into

  120. June. And surprisingly Pentecost always falls on a Sunday. Every year, Pentecost

  121. falls on a Sunday. So on this Sunday, on Pentecost, when Pentecost

  122. was fully come, that God poured out his spirit upon the one twenty disciples

  123. in the Upper Room. And the Bible says that the Holy Spirit came as

  124. a mighty rushing wind. A man who wants a mighty Russian wind experience in

  125. their lives. Anybody here you want a mighty rushing When Bible says that the

  126. Holy Spirit came suddenly. Amen, and so please tell your neighbor there will

  127. be suddenly in your life that will turn your life around. A man,

  128. And the Bible goes on to say that after the Holy Spirit came, there

  129. was clear evidence of the Holy Spirit in the lives of the apostles and the

  130. disciples. There was a fire clove of tongue on each peasant's head, and

  131. the Bible says that they began to speak in other tongues. They began to

  132. speak new tongues, and the people who had come from all over the world

  133. in Jerusalem could hear and understand the disciples speaking about the mighty works of God.

  134. Amen. Last week we demonstrated it. Here we had people who can

  135. speak German standing here. Some could speak Dutch, some could speak Freend,

  136. some could speak Houser. They were speaking about the mighty works of God.

  137. And because of that, it led three thousand men to give their lives to

  138. Jesus Christ in one day. So today we are going to explore to know

  139. who is this promise of the of the Father. Who is the promise of

  140. the Father? Amen. Let's look at Second Contiens, chapter thirteen, verse

  141. fourteen. Second Contients, Chapter thirteen, verse fourteen, And in this verse

  142. Bible passage, Apostle Paul wrote a very beautiful benediction, and in the youth

  143. church we say this benediction each time we close service. He wrote, the

  144. grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God and the communion of

  145. the Holy Spirit be with you or somebody say amen, Amen? And so

  146. Apostle Paul showed us a great way in order to be able to commune with

  147. the Holy Spirit. To know someone requires you to have fellowship with them.

  148. Right, who has a best friend? Here? Anybody? Does anybody have

  149. a best friend? Eman? You have a best friend? Please come,

  150. you also have a best friend? Best friend? You're right? Or die

  151. that they would do. They will go to heaven an dear for you,

  152. or they are not there yet. Amen, you have a best friend?

  153. Why is the person your best friend? Because I know the person like about

  154. very close, like very very close. You know the person, you are

  155. very very close. You are tied. The person knows your secrets. Yes,

  156. you know the person's secrets. You know what the person likes. Yes,

  157. you know the person's free food, You know the person's best day.

  158. Yes, you know the favorite sleeping position of the person. No, exactly

  159. exactly, But some people, they know some of the best friends. We

  160. know them when they sleep. They can't sleep on the bed with somebody else

  161. on the bed because they will fight with the person on the bed. They

  162. will kick the person of the bed by the time morning comes, their legs

  163. where the pillow is. Oh, I can see some witnesses here and their

  164. head is down down down there. So you know you know your friend.

  165. So when we give you bankoo to eat, because the person is your friend,

  166. you can't sit and share the food equally nicely. Yes, hypothetically yes.

  167. So it means you have convenient with a person. You have fellowship with

  168. a person. How many times do we do you talk to the person,

  169. like if the persons in school, maybe like once a week. The person

  170. is at home most of the time, every day, every night, every

  171. morning, free nights, goals, they adjusting. That's his fellowship. Amen,

  172. thank you very let's load for her. So to be able to have

  173. fellowship with someone who requires you to know them right, to be able to

  174. have communion sits down and eat share a bowl off food with meat only one

  175. meet to be able to share it together requires some relationship. It requires some

  176. fellowship test income. My friend from Nigeria, Come, I've forgotten your name.

  177. No, come, you're fine, he said his final He doesn't even

  178. know what I'm going to ask him. You are fine, be fine.

  179. Okay, let's get somebody else. If I come our actress, come quickly.

  180. Just imagine you have not seen this young man before? You know who

  181. he is? You know where he lives? Do you know what school he

  182. goes to? Do you know what's his favorite food is? Do you know

  183. anything about him? Have you ever seen him before? You know her?

  184. Do you know where she lives? Do you know what school she goes to?

  185. Do you know her favorite Bible verse? Do you know what she likes

  186. to do in secrets? You don't know anything about hey. So for two

  187. strangers who don't know themselves, there is no elemental fellowship. And if there

  188. is no elemental fellowship, if we put a bowl of Joeloffe rice here and

  189. we say share, the likelihood that this girl will say that I'm not interested

  190. because I don't know this guy. How can I eat with him? Or

  191. if they decide to eat, a civil war can erupt because the young man

  192. can say, let's eat the chicken fast. I want to eat the chicken

  193. fast, and the lady will say I want to eat the rice fast,

  194. and before you know it's they're throwing your hands and the food will be on

  195. the floor. Do you know that a civil war has erupted just because of

  196. our confirm before. Yes, so a civil war has erupted just because of

  197. food. So a lack of knowing prevents a lack of fellowship, and it

  198. prevents a lack of communion. I hope you understand. Thank you so much.

  199. Please ask claud for them, and so Apostle Paul. In the benediction

  200. he wrote he ended with the communion of the Holy Spirit right now. The

  201. Holy Spirit is the promise of the Father. Please tell yourself, the Holy

  202. Spirit is the promise of the Father. An end and you see, because

  203. God is not a liar or a man who should lie. When he promised,

  204. he actually gave. And God is still giving. If you only avail

  205. yourself to receive, God will give you the Holy Spirit. If you become

  206. born again, God will give you the Holy Spirit. So God is still

  207. giving the promise of the Father, which is the Holy Spirit. But it

  208. doesn't end there, because there is an assignment for every child of God.

  209. And the assignment is that you become a witness of Jesus Christ. That is

  210. the end game. The power you will receive. But the power is not

  211. for people to bow down to you. The power is for you to be

  212. able to tell somebody else about Christ Jesus. I hope you understand. So

  213. like a money money, please stand if I give you this microphone, I

  214. say, tell us about your best friend. You can't tell us about your

  215. best friend. Confidently you understand. We don't need to put the gun to

  216. a man his head for her to be able to tell us about her best

  217. friend in the same vein. Because you have received the power of God,

  218. which is the promise of the Father and the Holy Spirit, the outcome of

  219. your life is that you should be able to confidently tell somebody about Jesus Christ,

  220. and not just tell them norn for things. So tell them biblical truths

  221. about who Jesus is. Amen. And so today we are going to go

  222. on a journey to understand who the promise of the Father is to us.

  223. Amen. So in the Benediction the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. Many

  224. people won't tell them. Have you seen this word before grace? Say,

  225. oh, grace, she's in my school. We are not talking about the

  226. grace in your school. We are talking about the grace that has meaning.

  227. And the meaning of grace in the Greek is ultimate in beauty. You see

  228. when Jesus comes into your life, he makes your life beautiful. Me,

  229. God has made my life beautiful. Has Jesus made anybody's life beautiful? That

  230. is the grace ultimating beauty. So in your family they thought you would amount

  231. to nothing, but Jesus came your way and my God. Now when they

  232. are looking for people to make decisions, they look for you, because Charley,

  233. you have some wisdom that they don't have, because Christ Jesus has made

  234. you very, very beautiful. Amen. The next meaning for grace is favor

  235. that God has favored us. We didn't deserve it, but God has chosen

  236. to favor us because of Christ Jesus. Amen. That what people could wish

  237. for, what they wish for that never came to pass in their lives,

  238. by the grace of God. By this grace of God, we are living

  239. it. Amen. So we are living somebody's wish. We are the reality

  240. of somebody's wish. Amen. Can I hear an Amen? Amen? And

  241. the third meaning of grace is referred to a praiseworthy work. What Jesus did

  242. for us is praiseworthy. There accounts have a song said bidature, and if

  243. there was anything beyond thanksgiving, it is you that I would give it to

  244. because it is praiseworthy. I hope you understand. And so the grace of

  245. our Lord Jesus Christ, the thing that makes our life beautiful, the love

  246. of God, God's sole love the world that He gave that because of the

  247. love of God, we also who didn't know God. And we're far away

  248. and where idol worshipers, that we also now have the privilege to be called

  249. the sons and daughters of God. That love of God and the communion,

  250. that fellowship we have with the promise of the Father, who is the Holy

  251. Spirit. So you see, our benediction is complete only when we begin to

  252. get to the place of communion with the Holy Spirit. Can I hear your

  253. amen? Amen? And so who is this Holy Spirit? And before we

  254. attempt to find out who the Holy Spirit is, before you walk with any

  255. person, you need to know the person. You understand, The Bible says

  256. that can two walk together except they agree, Trevor, come, if our

  257. destination is over there and we don't agree, that we should all go to

  258. that destination. You'll be going and I will be going here because I don't

  259. agree. So the Bible says, can two walk together except they agree.

  260. Now, can you thank you? Can you walk with the Holy Spirit if

  261. you don't know him? Can you have fellowship with someone you don't know?

  262. Can you have communion with someone you don't know? When you go out there

  263. and what you call it that Jehovah's witness. People come, they don't believe

  264. in the Holy Spirit. When they come and they tell you, Chi,

  265. I'm giving you a book, read it. It's good for you. And

  266. you you don't know the Holy Spirit. Do you think they can't deceive you?

  267. They will because you don't know the Holy Spirit, and so you don't

  268. have fellowship with them, You don't have communion with him. But it is

  269. to your own interests and to your own benefits that you have a relationship with

  270. the Holy Spirit. You have a fellowship with the Holy Spirit, and you

  271. have communion with the Holy Spirit, because that is what God has intended for

  272. your life. Can I hear an amen? Amen? So, knowing the

  273. Holy Spirit or the Promise of the Father requires acknowledging him. It requires acknowledgements.

  274. You need to acknowledge that the Holy Spirit exists. You need to acknowledge

  275. that the Holy Spirit is the promise of the Father, you need to acknowledge.

  276. Because if I'm standing here and I'm your pastor, and you come in

  277. in the morning, and you come and pass to and fro, you don't

  278. even say hello to me. You keep pat I've done that before. I

  279. usually stand at the back when some of you are coming to chather. You

  280. just walk straight. You don't even know how to say a good morning,

  281. no acknowledgements. You know how to say hello, no acknowledgements. And so

  282. if the Holy Spirit is there and you don't acknowledge him, he will not

  283. benefit you in any way. Amen. So Prophaps Chapter three, verse five

  284. to six. Prophaps Chapter three, verse five to six. The Bible says,

  285. trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your

  286. own understanding. In all your ways? Does it say some of your ways?

  287. Does it say a few of your ways? He says, in all

  288. your ways, acknowledge him, and he shall direct your parts. Amen.

  289. And So knowing who the Holy Spirit is starts with acknowledgement of who he is.

  290. Amen. The moment you acknowledge who he is, then you open yourself

  291. to receive him as who he is. Amen. And So who exactly is

  292. this wonderful Holy Spirit, that we can have fellowship with him and can work

  293. with him and get to know him. Amen. In the Bible, there

  294. are various metaphors used in the Bible to describe the Holy Spirit. In certain

  295. portions of the Bible, they referred to the Holy Spirit as water. In

  296. the Book of Acts, the Holy Spirit was referred to as a mighty rushing

  297. wind. Sometimes it's referred to as oil. When Jesus was being baptized,

  298. the Holy Spirit came in a form of a dove. Doesn't make the Holy

  299. Spirit a dove. No. When the Holy Spirit is referred to as water

  300. for washing and cleansing, doesn't make the Holy Spirit water. No. But

  301. it's a metaphor. A metaphor is a form of synonym that is used to

  302. describe the action in which the Holy Spirit operated during that time. Amen.

  303. And so it's very important that you have a better rooted understanding of who the

  304. Holy Spirit is so that it helps your walk with him. Amen. And

  305. so let's find out some attributes of the Lord Holy Spirit as God. Amen.

  306. And so who is the Holy Spirit? If anyone should ask you who

  307. is the Holy Spirit, your first answer should be that the Holy Spirit is

  308. God. Can we say together, the Holy Spirit is God. Please say

  309. it again. Do you believe what you're saying? Please say it again.

  310. Amen. You see there are some people. They are yawning, Some have

  311. started sleeping. Do you know why, because the devils in their household.

  312. They don't want them to know the Holy spirits because when they get to know

  313. the Holy Spirit, that devil will not have power over them again. The

  314. devil will not have power over their minds again. So they are yawning.

  315. Someone changing the years right now, I've repented. If I had it repented,

  316. I will take a picture of them and put them on the screen.

  317. Yes, I did have to some boy. He hasn't slept again. Amen.

  318. So knowing the Holy Spirit is in our interest. Amen. The Holy

  319. Spirit is God. And so like God the Father and God the Son,

  320. the Holy Spirit is a member of the Godhead. Amen. The Holy Spirit

  321. is not less in power. The Holy Spirit is nor less in majesty.

  322. The Holy Spirit is nor less in authority in dominion. The Holy Spirit has

  323. the same attribute as God. Amen. So the Holy Spirit is God.

  324. Let's look at Matthew chapter twenty eight, verse nineteen. If they ask you,

  325. how do you know the Holy Spirit is God quote Matthew twenty eight,

  326. verse nineteen. For them, Jesus said to them, go therefore and make

  327. disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, the

  328. Son, and the Holy Spirit. So Jesus put the Holy Spirit on the

  329. same level of authority as God, the Father, and God the Son.

  330. Can I hear your amen? Amen? And so also hope Jesus sets the

  331. same power and glory for the Holy Spirit as the Father and the Son.

  332. Amen. The second point is that the Holy Spirit is God in that he

  333. carries out the work that only God can do. What the Holy Spirit cannot

  334. do does not exist. Oh, I thought, you say, an amen.

  335. What's the Holy Spirit cannot do? Does not exist. So the Holy

  336. Spirit does what only God can do. That makes him God. Amen.

  337. And so the Holy Spirit carried out their creation. The Holy Spirit created the

  338. heavens and the earth. The Bible says in Genesis one two. Let's go

  339. to Genesis after one verse two, the earth was without form and void,

  340. and darkness was on the face of the deep, and the Spirit of God

  341. was hovering over the face of the waters. If you read further, you

  342. go to a place and God said let there be and the wars. Creation

  343. came to being by the power of the Holy Spirit. Amen. And so

  344. the Holy Spirit created the heavens and the earth. So the Holy Spirit is

  345. the master architect of creation. The Holy Spirit is words, the master architect

  346. of creation. If you look at if you consider yourself, your hair,

  347. you consider it, the details of you, the complexity of you as a

  348. human being, you should know that God is amazing and indeed he's the master

  349. architect. Amen. Secondly, the Holy Spirit causes people to be born again.

  350. John Chapter three, verse five to seven. The Holy Spirit causes people

  351. to be born again. There's a story that Papa has said many times about

  352. when he became born again. He had gone to Condola k Night Club and

  353. on his way back there was somebody preaching, and before he saw it,

  354. he was in front lifted his hands to give his life to Christ. That

  355. was by the power of the Holy Spirit. So the Holy Spirit works on

  356. people and brings them conviction so that they give their lives to Christ. Amen.

  357. The Holy Spirit reproves the world of sin, of righteousness, and of

  358. judgment. With everything that is going on in the world. It is when

  359. you have the Holy Spirit in you that you will be able to tell that

  360. this thing they are doing is very sinful. Amen. That they will say

  361. that you are a boy you are born, and they will say you are

  362. not a boy when you grow up and you become eighteen. That you can't

  363. choose whether you're a girl or a boy, or you can't choose whether you're

  364. you're a butterfly or a lizard, or you can't choose whether you are hippopotamus

  365. or you're a cow, you're a john. Amen. So when you have

  366. the Holy Spirit, you'll be able to see that. Nah, this one

  367. get it's not right. Amen. It is also by the power of the

  368. Holy Spirit that devils are cast out. Who can cast out devils from a

  369. human being? Isn't it God who has the power to do that? Amen?

  370. It is God who has the power to do that. Amen. So

  371. that makes the Holy Spirit God. You can take the scripture down Martin chapter

  372. twelve, verse twenty eight, for his power casts out devils and he reproves

  373. the world of sin Ralph righteousness and a judgment. You can use John chapter

  374. sixteen, verse number eight. Amen. The third point, the third main

  375. point about who the Holy Spirit is is that the Holy Spirit has all the

  376. attributes of God, the Holy Spirit. It has all the attributes of God.

  377. Amen. Someone will come. Who do you look like your father or

  378. your mummy? Your father? So someone looks like his father? Amen?

  379. So does your head look like your father? Said the same shape? And

  380. your cheeks your daddy has, okay, And your nose your daddy, your

  381. mummy's nose, daddy's nose. It didn't wants mommy to win some your chain

  382. to his daddy. So when we see you and we pass here and we

  383. see daddy day, we should be able to see the art. This boy

  384. looks like this man. Perhaps he's his father. How about your heights mommy

  385. or daddy? Now my mommy got it? Daddy got it? No one

  386. okay? So in between okay, they shared. Amen. So you see,

  387. if you look at someone, they are physical attributes that tell us of

  388. where he's coming from, who he is. I hope you understand. Thank

  389. you. Someone. If you see my daughters, nobody should tell you that

  390. they are my daughters because they have my attributes. Amen. Though they are

  391. girls, they have fine blood, so they have my attributes. Can someone

  392. say amen, amen, you also have fine children? Okay, say amen?

  393. Amen? So the attributes of God. That makes the Holy Spirit God.

  394. Also is that only God is eternal. Only God is eternal. Only

  395. God is everlasting. Who else is everlasting? Do you know anybody who is

  396. everlasting? Please? Q is not ever last thing? Because when we're grown

  397. up, we talk was the main character tally we've grown up and he's not

  398. found any way. Amen. The Bible says that all things shall pass away,

  399. but my word, which is God the sun, shall remain. Amen,

  400. all things. So nothing is ever lasting but God. So Hebrews chapter

  401. nine, verse fourteen. Please let's read Hebrews chapter nine, verse fourteen.

  402. Hebrews chapter nine, verse fourteen. How much more shall the blood of Jesus

  403. Christ, who through the eternal spirit. Okay, thank you, the eternal

  404. spirit. So the Holy Spirit is called eternal. He is the eternal spirit.

  405. Amen, he is the eternals. He is forever, more, forever

  406. and ever and ever. When when when I was in Square, I was

  407. doing reading engeneral mathematics. We used to do some serious calculation. They say

  408. infinity. We are calculating infinity. Chalica, imagine we are calculating infinity,

  409. positive infinity and negative infinity. Will calculated? They think, will balance.

  410. But we ask, then we'll assume. Then assuming the Y the X is

  411. this, then we keep on calculating. You can't the whole book, you

  412. calculator. You never get the answer. But you see, whether positive or

  413. negative. Infinity God outweighs all of it, Gods its. God is eternal.

  414. So even before the wedding infinity appeared, God was God. Oh,

  415. I can happen for God. Amen. So God is eternal. So he

  416. said, the eternal spirit of fed himself without sport to God. So by

  417. the medium of the Holy Spirit cry, Jesus offered himself without sport to God

  418. the Father. And by that power the Holy Spirit, God can cleanse your

  419. mind from dead works. You can cleanse your conscience from dead works. A

  420. few months ago, when we're treating duality, I was telling you that when

  421. I was growing up, I used to like soul music, an R and

  422. B. How many of you remember I used to like You know, I

  423. used to listen to boys to men. You don't know boys to men?

  424. Are you listening there? So it will change your atmosphere and you won't You

  425. don't do good, do you do evil? But as I started to grow

  426. in the things of God, I realized that all those appetites had died.

  427. And now if you take my phone and go through my playlist, you will

  428. see boys to men there again. Amen. So when you allow the Holy

  429. Spirit into your life, he will clesse cleanse your mind of dead works.

  430. Amen. Now your desire will be on things that pertains to God alone.

  431. Amen. The Holy Spirit is God, because only God is omniscient. God

  432. is all knowing, and guess what, the Holy Spirit is also all knowing.

  433. The Holy Spirit knows all things. He knows all things about you,

  434. the things we see, the things we don't see, the things you don't

  435. want anybody to know. God knows all those things about you. Amen.

  436. And let's look at first contention after two west ten. The Holy Spirit is

  437. all knowing, He's omniscient. He knows all things about you. Amen.

  438. The Bible says that, but God has revealed them to us through his Spirit,

  439. which is the Holy Spirit. For the spirits, such is all things,

  440. Yes, the deep things of God. The Holy Spirit searches all things.

  441. The Holy Spirit knows all things. And so when a prophet comes to

  442. stand here and he calls your name, he hasn't met you before. He

  443. mentions your phone number He tells you where you were coming from, where you

  444. slept, even the passing you insulted on your way here, he can tell

  445. you. It is because the Spirit searches all things. And because the Spirit

  446. searches all things, the Spirit reveals it to him. Amen. So the

  447. Holy Spirit is God because he's omniscient. Amen. Only God is omnipotent.

  448. Only God is omnipotent, And so the Holy Spirit is omnipotent. Omnipotent means

  449. all powerful. Can we look at look chapter one, verse thirty five.

  450. The Holy Spirit is all powerful. The Holy Spirit is all powerful. And

  451. the Angel answered and said to her, the Holy Spirit will come upon you.

  452. The power of the Highest will overshadow you. Therefore also that the Holy

  453. One who is to be born will be called the Son of God. And

  454. so the Holy Spirit is all powerful. Let's look at some sixty two,

  455. verse eleven to twelve. The Holy Spirit is all powerful. Can you say

  456. to your neighbor, the Holy Spirit is all powerful. Amen. So we

  457. are getting information so that we can acknowledge the Lord. The Bible says that

  458. God has spoken once twice. Have I heard this? That power belongs to

  459. God. Other versions say that all power belongs to God. So it doesn't

  460. matter what you're going through. God has all power to deliver you from anything

  461. you are going through. Can I hear an Amen? Amen? And finally,

  462. God is omnipresent. God is everywhere at the same time. God is

  463. everywhere at the same time. Someone thirty nine verse one to twelve. Just

  464. imagine if they said that God was in Nigeria, the names that all Christians

  465. have to go to Nigeria to worship God. When Jesus met the Samaritan woman,

  466. she said that, oh, our fathers worship on the mountain, but

  467. you people say we should go to Jerusalem because that is where God is.

  468. And Jesus said to her, verily, I say unto you, the time

  469. is coming, and the time is now that true worshipers must worship the Father

  470. in spirit and in truth. Amen. So as we are having our service,

  471. he a God is here by his spirit. The Holy Spirit is also

  472. in the main service. If you get on this road and you go,

  473. you meet all the churches there, the good churches, not the fake ones.

  474. The good churches. The Holy Spirit is there. If you go to

  475. La Paz, they are having service. The good Church is. The Holy

  476. Spirit is there. If you go to Malam, the Holy Spirit is there.

  477. If you decide to drive towards Capeadia, the Holy Spirit is. Every

  478. church in Ghana, the Holy Spirit is here. Imagine those in America who

  479. are sleeping, they are you have to wake up and go to church.

  480. When they go to church, the Holy Spirit will be there. Because the

  481. Holy Spirit has the power to be everywhere at the same time. And so

  482. the Holy Spirit is omniscient. Hey, what is it. He's omnipresent.

  483. Amen, he is everywhere. And David wrote the song very fantastic. He

  484. said, Oh Lord, you have setched me and known me, and so

  485. you see because the Holy Spirit is everywhere when you go to that place.

  486. You go to a crown mall and the ten of the lights in the cinema,

  487. and you think that nobody can see you because your eyes you can't see

  488. anybody. Please, God is everywhere. You have searched me and known me.

  489. Next verse, you know my sitting down and my rising up. Jo

  490. understand. God knows you're sitting down and you're rising up. You understand my

  491. thoughts from far, the thoughts that in your head that you think nobody can

  492. see. Nobody, God knows it. He can sense it from afar.

  493. Next verse, you comprehend my path and my lying down. You are acquainted

  494. with all my ways. Next verse, for there is not a word or

  495. my tongue. Behold, oh Lord, you know it altogether. You have

  496. hurged me behind and before, and laid your hand upon me. Such knowledge

  497. is too wonderful for me. It's high I cannot attain it. Next verse,

  498. Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I go from your

  499. spirit? David asks the question where can I go from your holy spirit?

  500. Other version says where can I hide from your holy Spirit? Next verse?

  501. If I ascend into heaven, you are there. If I make my bed

  502. in hell, behold, you are there. If I take the wings of

  503. the morning and dwell in the outermost parts of the sea, Hey, you

  504. shall lead me, and your right hand shall hold me even there. If

  505. I say, surely the darkness shall follow me, even the night shall be

  506. like light before me. Indeed, the darkness sha I'll not hide from you.

  507. No amount of darkness can hide you from God. If you want to

  508. hide from God, there is no place. If you enter the mountain,

  509. He's there. If you go into you say you're taking scuba diving lessons.

  510. Go under the sea. You meet him there. Even in hell, you

  511. meet him there. There's a story a pastor too. He finished preaching on

  512. a Sunday morning, and when he went to sleep, Jesus appeared in his

  513. room and said, follow me. And do you know why Jesus took him?

  514. He took him to Hell. He said, come and see. He

  515. took him to go and show him. And he saw his best friend.

  516. Those of you who are best friends, tell them about Jesus. He saw

  517. his best friend who he hadn't led to Christ. That guy was in hell.

  518. So he said, ah, Jack, when did you get this morning?

  519. I just had an accident this morning. No, I came here.

  520. You understand. So if you have the power of the Holy Spirit, you

  521. are supposed to be a witness of Jesus Christ. Because just imagine we are

  522. in one local local line. We are going for judgments before the Lord,

  523. and we get there, they say you go to heaven and they tell your

  524. friend Charlie bye bye to Hell. Your friend would say, oh in money,

  525. So you knew this and he didn't tell me. You knew about Jesus

  526. and he didn't tell me. Listen in heaven, there's no sorrow, but

  527. I believe you'll not be happy in heaven because to no power that you deceive

  528. somebody to go to hell. Your laughter will be with some tears. Amen.

  529. And So, with all this information we've gathered this morning, there is

  530. clear evidence in the Word of God that the Holy Spirit is God. Amen.

  531. And so this morning, if anybody should ask you who is the Holy

  532. Spirit, should tell them boldly that the Holy Spirit is God. And you

  533. should be able to give them evidence from the Word of God that indeed the

  534. Holy Spirit is God. Amen. So isn't the Holy Spirit who is eternal,

  535. who is omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent. Isn't he God? Oh?

  536. I'm asking you a question. Isn't he God? Miss appears? Please play

  537. the piano. Let the piano tell us that the Holy Spirit is God.

  538. Isn't he God? He is God? Amen? And so the Holy Spirit

  539. is also majestic and holy and glorious. A man just asked the Father and

  540. the Son. Can I hear your Amen? Amen? So please be on

  541. your feet with me quickly and acknowledge meant we need to acknowledge the Holy Spirit.

  542. And so we are acknowledging the Holy Spirit by saying thank you to the

  543. Father for sending us his wonderful Holy Spirit. Just open your mouth now,

  544. begin to pray and thank the Lord. Thank you Lord for sending us your

  545. sweet Spirit. Thank you Lord for sending us your sweet Spirit. Thank you

  555. disqualified yourself from receiving the Holy Spirit. You can't receive the promise of the

  556. Father if you are not born again. But if you're here, you want

  557. this promise of the Holy Spirit. You want to give your life to Jesus.

  558. You want Jesus who coming to your heart. Please come and let's say
