A Father's Advice To His Son (Part 2)

My son, if you accept my words and store up my commands within you, turning your ear to wisdom and applying your heart to understanding, and if you call out for insight and cry aloud for understanding, and if you look for it as for silver and search for it as for hidden treasure, then you will understand the fear of the LORD and find the knowledge of God.

For the LORD gives wisdom, and from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.

He holds victory in store for the upright, he is a shield to those whose walk is blameless, for he guards the course of the just and protects the way of his faithful ones.

A Daughter’s Letter to Her Dad

I want to let you know first of all that I love you and forgive you for what this has done in my life. I also wanted to let you know exactly what your porn use has done to my life. You may think that this effects only you, or even your and mom’s relationships. But it has had a profound impact on me and all of my siblings as well.

A Father's Advice To His Son (Part 1)

Listen, my son, to your father's instruction and do not forsake your mother's teaching.

They will be a garland to grace your head and a chain to adorn your neck.

My son, if sinners entice you, do not give in to them.

If they say, "Come along with us; let's lie in wait for someone's blood, let's waylay some harmless soul;

let's swallow them alive, like the grave, and whole, like those who go down to the pit;

we will get all sorts of valuable things and fill our houses with plunder;

Genetic Salvation

As Moses lifted up the bronze snake on a pole in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up, so that everyone who believes in him will have eternal life. “For God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. God sent his Son into the world not to judge the world, but to save the world through him. (John 3:14-17). When I tried to keep the law, it condemned me. So I died to the law - I stopped trying to meet all its requirements - so that I might live for God. My old self has been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. So I live in this earthly body by trusting in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. I do not treat the grace of God as meaningless. For if keeping the law could make us right with God, then there was no need for Christ to die. (Galatians 2:19-21 NLT).

Restoring the Fivefold Ministry

I believe that it is the responsibility of the local church to raise up and equip God's people in their giftings and callings. "Millions of born again, Spirit-filled believers who have been trained and equipped will prophetically speak the words of Jesus and demonstrate His miraculous

The Importance of the Fivefold Ministry

It is my job as a prophet to protect the Word of God and to sound the alarm when we find ourselves leaning in the world’s direction. It’s like a drill sergeant who breaks down his unit then builds them back up again as a unit of one. A prophet’s job is very hard because it involves confrontation.

The Basics of Discipleship

Isn't it interesting that Jesus Christ never said to make disciples by taking them to church—or to a Bible study group, for that matter. Not that these activities aren't an integral part of a disciple's growth, but the Lord has something much more personal in mind.

[The] word entrust [in 2 Timothy 2:2] was a first-century banking term that literally meant "to make a deposit." Paul is saying in our text, "You have learned things from me, Timothy; now I want you to take that truth and personally deposit it into the lives of other disciples."

When you teach a child something about Christ, you are making a deposit into his heart; when you share Scripture or prayer with another believer, you are making a life-on-life deposit that Christ would define as true discipleship.

Benefits of the Word of God

The Word of God can benefit us in more ways than we can possibly imagine. The writer of Hebrews says, “The Word of God is alive and powerful” (Hebrews 4:12). What’s so great about the Bible is it’s not just some ordinary book, but the living Word — inspired by God almighty. It is literally “God breathed” (2 Timothy 3:16). It will do for you what no other book or anything else can. 

The Bible was written by men, but God is the author. Peter said, “Holy men spoke (wrote) as they were moved by the Holy Spirit” (2 Peter 1:20-21).


 If the Word is going to benefit us, there are several prerequisites we must apply:

CULTIVATING SPIRITUAL INFLUENCE

We understand that the physical realm is controlled and influenced by the spiritual realm. Before any meaningful change takes place on earth, it must first occur in the spirit. That means that ultimate influence is spiritual influence. Hence, if a man understands how to navigate the spiritual world, it means he will ultimately have influence over what happens in the physical world. 

There are men who have cultivated that kind of influence. Elijah the prophet sent a message to the King Ahab and said. “It won’t rain except at my word”. Talk about spiritual
influence! Notice he didn’t say at God’s word it won’t rain. He said, “at my word” (1 kings 17: 1 – 2). What gave Elijah the confidence to make such a decree? What did he do to activate that kind of spiritual influence over the weather conditions which ultimately affected the economy?

THE BOUQUET

Have you ever been in a situation where you know the right thing to do but you lack the power and will to do it? If your answer is yes then you are not different from the disciples. They knew the right thing to do but they couldn’t do it. Less than 12 hours after the disciples said they’ll not deny Jesus, they still did, even though they knew they should stand by Jesus. The reason is because human effort is unable and cannot give you the will power to withstand the pressure that comes from the flesh.

How then can we break away from the desires of the flesh? Let’s look at Hosea 10:12, “Sow for yourselves righteousness; Reap in mercy; Break up your fallow ground, For it is time to seek the Lord, Till He comes and rains righteousness on you”.

The bible makes it clear that you’ve not been able to do the right things because you’ve depended on your own will power. You have to understand that without the ability of the Holy Spirit, you will not be able to live a victorious Christian life.

Do you know that when the Holy Spirit came down on the day of Pentecost, He came like a “bouquet”? A bouquet is a lot of flowers arranged in a bunch. The Holy Spirit is like that; He didn’t just come with tongues like most people think, He came with a lot of other things. One of which is “the spirit of purity/holiness”.

The Sin Of Presumption – Sad Tale Of A Brave Dog

A dog was so faithful that the woman could leave her baby with it and go out to attend other matters. She always returned to find the child soundly asleep with the dog faithfully watching over him. One day something tragic happened. 

Questions About Speaking in Tongues

This article is in answer to questions we’ve received about speaking in tongues. I hope you find many of your questions answered as well. It is real, and many great men and women throughout history have testified that God so filled or baptized them with the Holy Spirit that they had to ask Him to stay His hand.

The Law of Attraction

You are reading this article right now because you attracted it. Like iron fillings to a piece of magnet; you attracted the events, situations and people in your life right now to yourself.

How Much Does Faith Cost?

A little girl went to her bedroom and pulled a glass jelly jar from its hiding place in the closet.

She poured the change out on the floor and counted it carefully. Three times, even. The total had to be exactly perfect.
Carefully placing the coins back in the jar and twisting on the cap, she slipped out the back door and made her way 6 blocks to a Drug Store.
She waited patiently for the pharmacist to give her some attention but he was too busy at that moment. Tess twisted her feet to make a scuffing noise to attract the man but it didn't.

The Law Of Conversion

The Law of Conversion states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed it can only be transformed from one form to another. It was this particular law that great men like Albert Einstein understood and harnessed to change the course of history.
Everything that exists has a positive or negative side to it. For example the same fire that prepares all the nice food people eat – barbecue, soups, cake, etc – also causes
serious collateral damage to lives
and property.
Another good example is electricity; it powers your refrigerator, air conditioner, light bulbs, television set, yet it still electrocutes hundreds of people daily.

Tools Of Prophetic Dominion: The Winds Of Favor

Life is essentially spiritual. Nothing happens in the physical until it has happened in the spiritual. Just as we can use our prophetic authority to destroy the works of darkness, we can also use our spiritual dominion to construct circumstances or influence people to favor us.

3 KINDS OF LIFE

Life is man’s greatest resource and it is given to fulfill a preconceived purpose. It will be a foolish thing not to live according to the blue-print of life specified by the author of life (God). Life is a resource and for this reason we must not misuse or abuse it. The life we live on earth is temporal but it is given to gain eternal resources that are beyond this earth. Hence, how you live your life on earth would determine the state of your life in eternity.

The Revelation Of 'Far Above

Revelations 5: 10

And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.

God has made us kings, we are to rule on earth and all other power are to submit to us (1Peter 2:13-14). This means as far as this earth is concerned, you are the highest in authority. The bible didn't say He has made us governors but He has made us kings.
