PREVIOUS KNOWLEDGE: Leader should remind members that the baptism of Holy Spirit comes with evidence.

MEMORY VERSE: “And he leaping up stood, and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God”. Acts 1:8

BIBLE TEXT: ACTS 5:12-16

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 durst no man join himself to them: but the people magnified them.

14. And believers were the more added to the Lord, multitudes both of 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 power of the Holy Spirit was manifested.

TEXT REVIEW: ACTS 5:12-16

i. Before there can be manifestation of Holy Spirit, there must be purity.

ii. There is no impossibility to what Holy Spirit can do once there is unity.
