Description
The Lord is our Bridegroom, and those who belong to Jesus Christ are His Bride. Those who believe have been included in Christ when they heard the message of truth, the gospel of our salvation. The moment we hear the message of the gospel and receive salvation we are betrothed to Christ. Such a Bride is sold out for the Bridegroom, seeking to be with Him and to love him for all eternity. This church-the Bride of Christ-is not one specific local church...

Galatians 5 makes it clear what are the fruits of the Spirit, which include love, joy, peace and self-control. Take note we are dealing here with the fruits of the Spirit, not our spirit. So we can only develop and carry such fruit when we allow God to abide and work in us. Therefore, we have to "live in the Spirit", meaning walking in the Spirit who produces such fruit. This volume of work has been prompted for the simple reason that the church seems...

The noun of this word Crescendo speaks of the loudest point reached in a gradually increasing sound. It also speaks of the highest point reached in a progressive increase of intensity. The verb speaks of an increase in loudness or intensity, such as the "reluctant cheers began to crescendo". We are in a spiritual season that is reaching such a crescendo. Several years ago the Lord first spoke about how we are heading into a "season", therefore, a...

If we truly want to lead a supernatural life, with a faith believing in the impossible, then we need to become radical for God. We need to be red-hot Christians who are on fire for Jesus. It means following Him no matter the cost. It means doing as He says in His Word and never compromising. For the radical Christian, it is all about Christ and nothing else. God is calling for a people who will no longer submit to the 'normal'. Are we just going through...

Our entire spiritual journey along with our free will boils down to either choosing to walk with Jesus (LIFE) or choosing the way of the world (DEATH). In God there is life, and life in abundance. Not just eternal life, but life in spirit, in soul and in body. Yet, there is a real difference between knowing of Him and knowing Him. In Him we abide in life, and walk in such life, but this calls for obedience to His Truth, to His Way and to His Kingdom....

If we look at the life of Moses, we find numerous spiritual lessons that will benefit any disciple of Jesus. Is his life important? Most assuredly, as this volume of work explores. He was a murderer, yet God used him mightily. He was almost killed as an infant, yet survived to do great things for God, leading a life of worth and value for 120 years. He survived the harshness of two wilderness journeys, totalling 80 years, and rightly takes his place,...

Evangelism has been discussed over and over, yet it still seems many Christians are not engaging in evangelism. It seems some think they are not called to evangelise, or not equipped or not trained. The truth is, if we follow Jesus, then we are called to evangelise, which is nothing more than telling someone about Jesus. From the outset, evangelism is the work and duty of EVERY believer, thus any disciple of the Lord. It is the duty of any disciples...

The stories, prophecies, and experiences of the prophets in the Bible still hold important and relevant lessons for us today. We will be wise to learn from them. After all, there is nothing new under the sun. Sin remains sin. God will not tolerate rebellion and He will not be mocked. The prophets also shared the good news, as we find throughout the Bibles that God is the same today, today and yesterday, meaning He is still a God of long-suffering,...
9) God's Voice
Author
Description
There is this strange notion these days that God no longer speaks to His people. It is said that God spoke in the Old Testament and that God today only speaks these days through His Word. Yes, it is true, that God does speak through His Word, but the wonderful and glorious news is that God does speak to His children. He has a voice, we have ears, and there is definite communication! Some even say that one is crazy to think one hears from God (voices...

The Church needs to urgently deal with the destructive 'isms', which include humanism, secularism, individualism, pessimism, existentialism, traditionalism, racism, and moral-revivalism to name a few. Yet the church has hardly truly countered these forces, and so struggle with their deadly and destructive influences within her own ranks, while at the same time struggling to make an impact in the world.

Over many years the Lord has continually pressed it on my heart that the church is called to lead a supernatural life. We need to be reminded that as disciples of Jesus, we are sons and daughters of the Most High God. We are called to live in the supernatural and by the supernatural. As followers of Christ, we are challenged to demonstrate God's power in the supernatural acts of God. Jesus wants us to live the reality of His Word and Presence. What...

When Jesus departed to be with His eternal Father, He gave the church (the ecclesia) a clear mission statement in Matthew 28, which speaks of the Great Commission. And what is the Great Commission, therefore, the mission? Go and make disciples so that the world may be told of Jesus and, therefore, be saved. Some will say some translations never speak of making disciples, but rather to teach all nations, "baptizing them in the name of the Father, and...

The Bible is an epic masterpiece. There is a continuous flow to the Bible, and it does flow like a story. It is God's story, told through numerous characters, events, adventures, trials, tribulations, and situations. There is nothing grander or more splendid than God's story! This book is not a comprehensive study of the Bible, therefore, it is not a blow-by-blow account of every book and every story. Rather, it is a sweeping glance at what the Bible...
