2. That God chose that day to fulfil His promise of the gift of
the Holy Spirit to mankind.
3. That the Holy Spirit was given to equip the Christian with
power to minister for the living Christ and to make
disciples of all nations for Him – the Great Commission.
4. That the Apostles and others who were waiting for this
promise of the ‘Promise of the Father’ after receiving the
Holy Spirit, began to speak in different tongues as to be
able to minister to the different tribes that will be attending
the Pentecost festival in Jerusalem.
6. That without that Holy Spirit from God, no one can please
God and that was why Christ had to instruct His disciples
to wait patiently and prayerfully in one accord for the out
pouring of the Spirit.
The power and presence of the Pentecostal
Spirit inaugurates the era of the Church’s
mission to the world which seeks to
overcome every division of humankind.
The Pentecostal Spirit empowers us to
be witnesses and bearers of the
message of salvation in Christ, the light
of the world.
The Spirit is the force of the
missionary work of the Church.
The Church, born of the love of God, is
the community of men and women united
in Christ through the power of the Spirit,
called to a common mission of being
bearers of salvation to one another and to
the world.
