OUR SUPERNATURAL GUEST

OUR SUPERNATURAL GUEST

On Sunday 26th August 2018, thousands from across the world converged at The Synagogue, Church Of All Nations (SCOAN) in Lagos, Nigeria, to spend time in God’s presence and seek His face. The service was filled with touching testimonies, inspiring worship, powerful prayer and a stirring revelation about the Holy Spirit.

In his message titled, ‘Our Supernatural Guest’, Prophet T.B. Joshua enlightened the congregation about the role of the Holy Spirit in the life of Christians. “Jesus Christ was the first Helper, Comforter. The Holy Spirit is another Helper, Comforter. In the absence of Jesus, the Holy Spirit was to be sent, in a sense, to take the place of Jesus. Jesus was not only the embodiment of the Heavenly Father but also of the Heavenly Spirit. First, He is a person. Second, He is Divine.”

Prophet T.B. Joshua went further to explain the difference between being filled with the Holy Spirit and baptised in the Holy Spirit. “All who are baptised in the Holy Spirit are filled with the Holy Spirit but not all who are filled with the Holy Spirit are baptised in the Holy Spirit. The baptism experience of the Holy Spirit would not leave man’s spirit free to choose, whereas to be filled with the Spirit is an optional matter. Baptism of the Holy Spirit means total submission whereas being filled with the Spirit leaves one with an option. When you are baptised of the Holy Spirit, you remain under the complete dominion of the Holy Spirit.”

The message, born from years of practical experience walking with the Lord, touched the hearts of both congregants and viewers worldwide on Emmanuel TV. “If I am alone, I would not be able to stand here today but Someone is with me. Someone is with me in the person of the Holy Ghost,” Prophet T.B. Joshua explained, adding it was God’s Spirit that provided the strength to endure the many trials and challenges he encountered on his life-journey.
