Spiritual Work-Out

The Bible tells us to work out our own salvation, with fear and trembling. For it is God who is at work within us both to will and to do of His good pleasure.

We live in a day wherein working out is a vital part of our lives, and we thank God for this wonderful aspect of life.

Bodily exercise is profitable, no doubt. Actually, the very scriptures tell us so. But exercising your human spirit is much more profitable, having promise of the life that now is, and that which is to come. You can gain more out of life by exercising your human spirit with the written Word of God.

The Word of God has got so much to teach us, only we must be teachable and not bring our own preconceived ideas to make the Word match them. We cannot tell God how to run His Kingdom.

We must be careful that our definitions of words and concepts do not try to dominate the definitions of God Almighty.

As for God, He has His own definitions of certain concepts, and we must be careful not to replace His definitions with our own. A classic example I've seen many times is this: On one hand, you find a child of God who eats meat, and on the other you find another child of God who is a vegetarian. We automatically assume that the child of God who is a vegetarian is much more anointed and disciplined as compared to the one who actually does eat meat. But the Bible tells us that

"another brother WHO IS WEAK eateth herbs."

Another example of different definitions is this: We think a stingy person is the one who refuses to give out anything, but the Bible tells us that a stingy person actually does give out but then goes on to calculate the cost!

I mentioned all that stuff about definitions to say this; If you find out from the Bible that you are anointed, you better start acting anointed and doing the things that anointed people do.

If the Bible tells you that believers will lay their hands on the sick and they shall recover, then you ask yourself the question "are you a believer?" if yes, then you have a right to lay your hands on the sick and God has a responsibility to see to it that they recover, for He will not shame His own Word.

The Power of God

Some of us are well qualified to speak about the power of God. Mainly because we have been in God's field and helped many that were bound, we set them free using the power of God that is invested in the Name of Jesus. I have personally led many crusades, and in those crusades the Lord showed forth His power tremendously. Never let these man-made viruses and reports mislead you, the Lord still heals people today. He will always heal His people because God is Love. I still remember the testimony of a young girl who had sores all over her head for a very long time and couldn't grow any hair. Her parents were good friends with my friends, and so it happened that when I went to visit my friends, we ended up visiting her family. When we arrived, the little girl came to greet me. I say her condition immediately, and her dad told me what was going on. I prayed for the girl right there, using the authority of the Name of Jesus. Some days later her dad told me that the sores on her head

God With Us

So many times, as children of God, we tend to lose consciousness of His Presence with us. As a result, we find ourselves overwhelmed and defeated by the circumstances of life. I want to remind you that your faith is what overcomes the world. If you do not apply your faith you may not stand a chance against the storms of life. These storms come to everybody, no exceptions. But whenever the winds beat upon you they must find you founded upon The Rock of Ages. I want to share with you a testimony that will help you remember your roots in Christ. It is a tale like no other, and comes from the depths of my heart, and the contents of this tale are true. Some 3 years ago I was in one of those positions where the circumstances of life caved in on me. As a man of Goind, I could in no wise yield that easy for I am loaded with the knowledge of the principles of the Kingdom of God. I had been battling for an entire year with these circumstances, and at that point I was nearing defeat. So I took on

Know Him, and then Serve Him

Often times we find saints rushing into the ministry, maybe because they got a prophecy that they were called into ministry or because they received some vision. Then they go out and pitch their tent and start a church! But that is not the way of the Lord. Growth in God happens progressively. That is why we run the race with patience. David talked to his son, Solomon and said: _ “ And thou, Solomon my son, know thou the God of thy father, and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind”1 Chronicles28:9. _ We need to know God first and then serve him. How can you serve a God that you don’t know? How can you guarantee that your attitude and motive in that service is pure? The Lord Jesus knew that He was called from a very young age. He knew He was born the Savior of the world yet He didn’t begin his ministry until the age of thirty. What was He doing all those years? He was learning to walk with God practically. And when the appoint
