Sermon 006: Water Baptism

In the beginning, when God created the earth, it was devoid of life and purpose. The deep waters covered its surface, and the Spirit of God moved powerfully over the waters, laying the foundation for His creation.

The significance of water continues throughout Scripture as a symbol of salvation and renewal:

  • The Days of Noah: When God cleansed the earth with rain for 40 days and nights, the deep waters covered the world. Only eight people—Noah, his wife, his three sons, and their wives—along with pairs of animals and birds aboard the ark, were saved. This event foreshadowed the meaning of deep water baptism as a sign of God’s saving grace and renewal of life.
  • The Crossing of the Red Sea: Through the leadership of Moses, the Hebrews crossed the Red Sea, leaving behind the captivity of Egypt. This miraculous crossing was a symbolic act of baptism, signifying salvation from bondage and entry into a covenant relationship with God.
  • The Crossing of the Jordan: Years later, under Joshua’s leadership, the Israelites crossed the Jordan River. This act represented a new generation’s baptism, a sign of deliverance from the perils of the desert and entry into the Promised Land.
  • The Baptism of Jesus: Jesus himself underwent deep water baptism by John the Baptist in the River Jordan. As He rose from the water, the Holy Spirit descended upon Him, marking the beginning of His ministry. This event highlights the spiritual significance of water baptism as a divine affirmation and empowerment for those who commit to a life of faith.

The True Meaning of Deep Water Baptism

Deep water baptism is the true biblical baptism, symbolizing the start of a journey toward salvation. It is a physical act that reflects a deeper spiritual reality: the cleansing of sins and the public declaration of faith in God’s saving power.

Through baptism, believers follow the example set by Noah, Moses, Joshua, and Jesus. It is a powerful expression of God’s deliverance and the beginning of a transformed life in His service.

  1. This is my testimony in a nutshell, the moment I came out of water, after deep water baptism. From that very moment I felt great power, courage and strength; since then was I only able to completely quit smoking and alcohol – yet having been in salvation for about one month!

  2. Immediately from the water a strong force which was like a wind came out from me it wanted to push me back to water such that I can die but the pastors held me I came out from water shouting and crying tears of joy. And before that I could not shout hallelujah, or raise my arms straight to worship the lord, I loved worshipping but I could not worship for some minutes. But from there the journey of salvation started in my life. Whatever I used not to do point to note with caution “mind the person who baptises you”. You need a person who is on truth to baptise you .

  3. LESSON FROM CHAPTER 4 OF THE BOOK WIND OF CHANGE PART2 BY INFLUENCER BRIGHT UNDER WIND OF CHANGE VISION BEARER APOSTLE REUBEN HABAASA.

    Chapter Four teaches that true transformation begins in the family. Before God changes a church or a nation, He first restores the home. The family is not just a social unit—it is a spiritual altar where God desires to dwell. The Wind of Change is therefore moving strongly into households, not to condemn them, but to rebuild what has been broken and restore divine order.
    The message explains that many families today have lost their spiritual foundation. Homes have become places of routine instead of places of God’s presence. However, the wind of God is exposing these weaknesses so that restoration can take place. When a family opens itself to God, He begins to rebuild relationships, heal wounds, and establish His presence within that home.
    A key emphasis in this chapter is the family altar. This is the intentional gathering of family members for prayer, the Word of God, worship, and spiritual connection. The lesson makes it clear that a strong family altar brings protection, unity, and clarity. It creates an environment where God speaks, guides, and guards the household from spiritual attacks.
    The chapter also calls for responsibility in leadership within the family, especially for fathers. Men are encouraged to return to their role as spiritual leaders—not through control, but through example, prayer, and guidance. At the same time, mothers are strengthened in their role, and children are positioned to grow in purpose from an early stage.
    Another important lesson is the breaking of generational patterns. The Wind of Change gives families the authority to confront and overcome cycles such as conflict, spiritual weakness, or any recurring struggles. Through prayer and intentional spiritual practices, families can shift from patterns of bondage into patterns of blessing.
    Finally, the chapter concludes by showing that a transformed family becomes a source of transformation to others. When one household is aligned with God, it begins to influence communities and even nations. Revival does not only start in large gatherings—it often begins in a home where people choose to seek God together.
    Key Message:
    The Wind of Change must not stop at the individual level—it must enter the home.
    A family that builds an altar for God becomes a center of His presence and a vessel of transformation for the world.
