INTRODUCTION

The Holy Spirit is the closest personality to every believer who believes in Him. He is the one who has been in the church since He gave birth to the church on the day of Pentecost.  Unfortunately however, He is the most misunderstood Person in the Church in this dispensation. The purpose of this study is to remind and enlighten us more about the Person of the Holy Spirit and His ministry activities. May the Holy Spirit inspire us, in Jesus’ Name.
