God's Word: Forever Established And Settled

Share

By Vitus Ejiogu The value of a man's word depends upon what you know about him. If a man promises to give you half of all he has, it greatly matters who he is and the ability has to fulfill those promises. The Bible tells us that God never reneges on His promises, and when He promises a thing, He goes ahead to fulfill it (Isaiah 55:8-11; 43:13; Matthew 24:35). The Word of God is hidden to many people today because of the quest for human wisdom and logic. Human wisdom, worldliness and unbelief have made the power hidden in the Word of God to be as if there is nothing in it (Hebrews 3:16-19; 4:1-6). It should be noted that because the action of God's Word begins in the mind, many people fail to observe and to believe it. Nevertheless, it is...

Fixing Your Eyes on Jesus

Share

By Dr Bob Wilkerson Hebrews 12: 2 Fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross. Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, there is something about the name. Do you have your eyes fixed on Jesus? If your eyes are not on Jesus what are they on? It is so easy to be pulled into the worlds view about life. It is easy to place Jesus in a closet and not fix your eyes, your life firmly on His power. Fix your eyes on the Lord. In His power and love is peace. In His presence, there is joy. You might have allowed your eyes to move to other objects for peace, joy and love. Today, turn your eyes back to the savior. Right now, remember His sacrifice for you. Turn your eyes to the Savior. He will carry your...

The Armor of God

Share

by Andy Soyars "Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes." (Eph. 6:11). Now at first glance, this seems like a simple instruction... put on the full armor of God. But when you really stop to think about this thing for a minute, it actually reveals a lot more than it says.  First of all, assuming that you're a child of God, you don't have to go buy your armor or make your own, you already have it somewhere. It's given to you as a gift when you accept Jesus as your Savior. If you're not a child of God, you have no armor, nor can you obtain it on your own. Secondly, and pay very close attention to this: just because you may have your armor, that doesn't mean you're wearing it! If you were...

The Trial of Our Faith

Share

by Ellen G. White In this time of trial we need to be encouraged and comforted by one another. The temptations of Satan are greater now than ever before, for he knows that his time is short and that very soon every case will be decided, either for life or for death. It is no time now to sink down beneath discouragement and trial; we must bear up under all our afflictions and trust wholly in the Almighty God of Jacob. The Lord has shown me that His grace is sufficient for all our trials; and although they are greater than ever before, yet if we trust wholly in God, we can overcome every temptation and through His grace come off victorious. If we overcome our trials and get victory over the temptations of Satan, then we endure the trial of...

Fruit of the Spirit

Share

By Albert Kang The Double Emphasis In the past, the Pentecostal movement and the Charismatic movement had emphasized heavily on teachings about the gifts of the Holy Spirit. This emphasis was good at that time because many churches had either rejected or neglected the manifestation of such spiritual gifts. However, just like a pendulum of an old clock, these movements had swung too much, so much so that there were limited instructions about the fruit of the Spirit. If it was taught, it was placed only in secondary to the topic of the spiritual gifts. The most appropriate way to teach the church is to make a double emphasis - one cannot do without the other. It is almost like making a double emphasis to impress upon a young child the importance...

"My God Shall Supply All Your Need" Philippians 4:19

Share

by Chuck Hall Jr. "But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows." 1 Timothy 6:9-10 The Bible tells us that the LORD is "magnified" to bless His people with "prosperity" by providing their "needs." (Ps. 35:27; Phil. 4:19) Jesus also instructed us to pray for that which we "desire." (Mk. 11:24) As we "delight" ourselves in the LORD He promised to grant the desires of our hearts which will naturally align with His will as we are truly given over to and delighting in Him (Ps. 37:4). "Let...
