To be Born of God is All You Need

To be Born of God Looking at the dichotomy of the phasing out of all that God made to make room for all that God birthed! The focus is on the futility of being a church member without the new birth experience. Passage: John 3: 1-10 Supporting Texts: And the LORD was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart. So the LORD said, "I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth, both man and beast, creeping thing and birds of the air, for I am sorry that I have made them." (Genesis 6:6, 7) Lift up your eyes to the heavens, And look on the earth beneath. For the heavens will vanish away like smoke, The earth will grow old like a garment, And those who dwell in it will die in like manner; But My salvation will be forever, And My righteousness will not be abolished. (Isaiah 51:6) For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God. For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, bu...

BE ENLARGED!

ENLARGEMENT is appointed for you, and if you refuse to grow, you will be swept away! This should not sound scaring for you, because I am talking about something in relation to your income and influence! God wants them to grow because He lives in you. Hey! I am not talking to just anybody here o! As Jesus said, “It is not good to take the children's bread and throw it to the little dogs” (Matthew 15:26). I am talking to those who have not considered it a shame to come to Jesus! Those He says, have been given “the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name” John 1:12. Here are some scraps I posted on Facebook in relation to this topic, please enjoy the thoughts and let me hear your comments. ENLARGE YOUR TERRITORIES (PART 1): Is the key to enlarged territories not FAITHFULNESS in stewardship alone? (See Luke 19:26) And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of meat...

Final Part (IV) - Marks of Those Who Bear the Good News

MARK 4 - THE GOOD NEWS AND CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP And being let go, they went to their own company, and reported all that the chief priests and elders had said unto them. Acts 4:23 Passage: Acts 4:23-35 INTRODUCTION: The mark of a being a member of the Church is not a mean mark of one bearing the Gospel. Many people have gone out of the Church because the Church degenerated to the point where it had lost her submission to the Lordship of Jesus and become just a social club. Such well-meaning people went out after giving several warnings to the body of believers they belonged to. The Holy Spirit vindicated these people’s revival of the Church with ample demonstration of His presence, especially in the three areas we have already discussed: BOLDNESS, RIGHTEOUSNESS AND DEMONSTRATION OF DEPENDENCE ON THE GRACE OF GOD. Meanwhile many others have left the church at the slightest provocation or no provocation at all. Many have become apostates, teaching their own doctrines, and sometimes start...

Internet Tour

Hi folks: I know you are tired of waiting for Lesson Sixteen. There are actually twenty-one lessons. I broke off to take a tour of the internet among other things. I attempted downloading one gospel song video from each African country. I came up with 20 countries (about six from South Africa alone), and I am still going. I stumbled upon music by Lundi for the first time. I worked on the translations till I fell sick. I met Webster's Universal Dictionary or something like that and it came up with single word translations in the languages it features. I have learnt some Xhosa and Zulu words, but at the moment they are stuck together in my head, so later... I tried to make some friends online in South Africa and elsewhere. succes rate is still 2%. One guy called Tumelo Victor has been helpful so far, except that he is not interested in the music I am interested in. I came across complete audio recordings of summaries of the Bible in severaaaaaaal languages (accuracy eludes me tonight...

Lesson Fifteen - The Showboating Temptation

…and said to Him, "If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down… Many ministers of God should be familiar with the temptation to do the dramatic to showcase the anointing of God upon themselves. Indeed many might have fallen several times for this old trick and some might have gone on to justify such slips, leading their own selves further away from the ways of the modest Saviour. They think ministry must be entered upon noticeably and miracles done of God by their hands must be endlessly recounted, and all acts of service must be noticed and applauded. Such humouring of the ego does only a disservice to the ministry as a fixation with recognition is an almost insatiable hunger that feeds on several flesh-minded and financially and spiritually costly public relations gimmicks. It also draws the minister away from needful spirituality, rendering him inflexible for God’s use. They would rather operate in that in which people have already recognised them than heed of the call of Go...

Lesson Fourteen - The Chameleon Temptation

Then the devil took Him up into the holy city and set Him on the pinnacle of the temple. It may come as rude awakening for many who are not familiar with this and the story of Job, to learn that with God’s permission Satan is able to touch our bodies and even carry us to places we have not planned to go. As the devil took Jesus or led him to the top of the temple so are we prone to the kind of trial of our faith that may directly touch our body with disease and other uncomfortable affliction. He can with one deception or the other lead us unawares into corners and situations we have not premeditated upon. We observe in this particular instance too that the scene of the temptation has changed dramatically. From an obscure and lonely desert, Jesus now finds himself on top of a much frequented temple. Any spectacular act He did here would be witnessed and probably applauded by a lot of people. And He seemed to be proffering on Jesus an opportunity for instant recognition and acceptance by...
