TEXT: ACT 1:8
PREACHER: Pastor Bodunrin Timothy
In the dispensation of the father, he relates directly with the people, most especially His prophet (Exodus 33:11). During the dispensation of God the Son (Jesus Christ), God Himself was present with us while we enjoyed the physical manifestation of the power of God. His disciples were lazing around, depending on the physical availability of Jesus.
Jesus, at the tail end of his ministry, instructed them to remain in Jerusalem until he sends the Holy Spirit (Act 1:4)
