 DYING TO SELF - WILL YOU SURVIVE?


All Christians who left good marks in the Bible went through these phases, yet STOOD:


1. Encouraged to do what is right

2. Encouraged to sacrifice your all

3. Commended for doing what is right

4. Rebuked for slipping from the Lord's way

5. Rebuked for accepting lower standards

6. Rebuked wrongly for sacrificial initiatives

7. Condemned for doing what is right

Jesus exposes the six usual characteristics of empty religion in His encounter with the Samaritan woman at Jacob's Well, as recounted in John 4. 1. Excuses To the simple request of “Will you give me a drink”, the Samaritan woman disguises her stinginess by citing an age-long viewpoint that would take ages to untangle. How typical of the reasons merely religious people give for not doing good to others! 2. Ascription of Arrogance to Christ's Supernatural Power "Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us this well...?, she quizzed, when the Lord told her of the living water He is capable of giving.

DO NOT DESTROY THE ORDER: Securing the Promises of Marriage First Preached At Mt. Zion, Kwashieman District on Sat, Sep 22, 2012 God instituted marriage and blessed those who partake in it. Order is at the core of marriage, yet the order does not seem always attractive. Yet if the order is tampered with, out go the blessings ordained for it. This outline draws attention to the non-negotiable basics about marriage and highlights the misconceptions that make people often want to temper with the order. The entire outline is laced with hints of the blessings that come with observing the order. To effectively deal with a partner, who seems to be tampering with the order, just check how well you have been playing your own role. Main Readings: Psalm 11:3, and Ephesians 5:21 – 33 1.       Marriage was instituted by God 2.       Marriage is a Business Eccl. 4:9 3.       Marriage is the perfect illustrati...
