As the District Minister of the Church of Pentecost in Yennyawoso, Pastor Maxwell Adubofourh Asiedu, explains, the main reason for the arrival of the Holy Spirit is to enable believers to evangelize the entire world.

The minister went on to discuss additional advantages of receiving the baptism of the Holy Spirit, stating that “the Spirit enables the believer to walk in the statutes of God.” The Spirit enables the believer to walk in the statutes of God, leading to a life of righteousness and obedience.
