WHAT IS WATER BAPTISM

Baptism Series DAY 18 TOPIC: WHAT IS WATER BAPTISM? READ: ROMANS 6:1-10 TEXT: Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. (Romans 6:4). RHEMA The second baptism is baptism by immersion, popularly called water baptism. This baptism, according to the text above, simply means a process of Christian sanctification; it is a commitment to outward cleansing and purification Through Jesus Christ. It provides: (i) Identification with His birth (ii) Identification with His death (iii) Identification with His resurrection So, by faith, in baptism we were buried into Christ. When He was born, we were born in the plan of God with Him. When He died, we died to the world power system through him. When He resurrected, we resurrected into glory, in Him. Let me counsel you as follows: 1. If you have been baptized into Jesus, come to church and do your Christian obligations like: render services, pay your tithe, pray and evangelize; but you know that something is still missing within you. You lack inner peace, you cannot get out of sin, you are still enslaved to sinful habits; you need baptism or re- baptism. 2. If you have never been born again nor have a new experience of kingdom life: a new experience of steady walk with God, there is opportunity for you now in Christ Jesus. As you have received the word, begin to magnify Him and request Jesus to come into your life. I don’t know where you have missed Christ; tell Him; Jesus I need a new experience in You; I want to experience Your kingdom afresh within me; come into my life afresh. Peace.
