dc.description.abstractIn Christianity. the Holy Spirit has an irreplaceable role ta play in uplifting the moral standard of the adherents. In order to strengthen and assure the people of His abiding presence, Gad poured out His Spirit, the Holy Spirit on the face of the earth. Hence, among other things, the Holy Spirit becomes the distinguishing mark of the community that accepts Jesus and upholds the values of the Kingdom of Gad.

The paper applied historical and analytical methods in tracing the etymological awareness of the Hloly Spirit and the present day Nigerian experience. Based on the discussion, recommendations are ml/de to enable people to make discernmenten_US
