INTRODUCTION

The Christians of the early church moved in great power and walked in dominion.

These men that Jesus left behind, who were not as educated as most Christians and men of God nowadays knew certain things which may appear hidden to present-day Christians. It would appear as if they moved in a way that present-day Christians have not discovered. And amazingly, these men achieved this feat without the modern technology that we have these days. They did not even have the printed Bibles, yet today, in spite of awareness and assistance from travelling, education, electronic and print media, the present-day Christians have failed to arrest paganism. Therefore, it is apparent that the early church knew some secrets that we have not discovered.
A close examination of their messages shows that they were preaching the same messages that the modern-day preachers are preaching now but it appears that there were some secrets which they practised that we are either ignorant of, or we are not practising or taking seriously.

When something is described as secret, it means that it is not open to everybody, not everyone knows about it. Also, it is possible for you to be staring at it and not know that you are seeing a secret thing. So, men are very ignorant about spiritual things.

This book, therefore, focuses on these secrets that the early church concentrated upon.

Chapter One

Secret No.1

DEEP EMPHASIS ON THE HOLY SPIRIT

The Holy Spirit was deeply emphasized in the ministry of the early Christians rather than carnality.

Jesus made a promise of the Holy Spirit to the apostles.

John 14: 15-16: "If ye love me, keep my commandments. And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you forever."

Verse 26: "But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you."

Also, before His ascension, He told them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for this promise which was the baptism of the Holy Ghost. The baptism of the Holy Ghost would empower them for the service ahead (Acts 1:8).

And in Acts 2, the power fell on them and they began to move with that divine empowerment that could not be hindered.

There was deep concentration on the Holy Spirit rather than on human teaching. How wonderful it would be if everyone in the church were to be filled with the Holy Spirit.

If those who sing or pray do so under the anointing of the Holy Ghost, the power of God will move nightly. How wonderful it would be if present-day Christians would be filled with the Holy Spirit and speak under His anointing like the Apostles did.

The words of many Christians carry no fire because they are not backed up by the Holy Spirit. Today, the emphasis on the Holy Spirit is being gradually diluted and the ignorance of the modern-day Christians is so strange and terrible that even sometimes, when they see somebody moving in the Holy Spirit, they will say it is occultism.
