Certainly, you will ask what are the differences between spiritual and dynamic energy if there are any! Listen here; in fact, active power is written all over the pages of the New Testament and seen in the life of Jesus and the early church. It’s not just seen, but in many ways is the central defining characteristic of what marked the early church gatherings and the ministry of Jesus: being in spirit (awakened consciousness). Yes, when you hear about dynamic…
What I consider energy is whatever vitality releases via the human heart to every part of the human body! Different viewpoints of this vital strength from the heart! For instance, do you remember the words of Lord Jesus: “POWER HAS GONE OUT FROM ME”. One day when Jesus was walking through a crowd, a woman touched the hem of His garment and was healed. Jesus knew that something had happened—He had felt a “the power” go out of Him. Yes,…
1. “God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging. The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous run into it and are safe.” 2 “Do not grieve, for the joy of the Lord is your strength. So do not fear, for…
In Philippians 2:4, believers in Christ Jesus, I mean, all Christians, regardless of maturity or authority, are supposed to treat others with humility and selflessness. The focus is not exclusively on others. Paul does not say, “Never look to your interests.” In other words, we are to put the needs of others before our own, but this does not mean we completely avoid caring for our own needs. It’s hard to serve other people when your own life, health, or…
Daily, there is work to do that requires extra effort! Notwithstanding the strain of errands past our strength, we should go inwards to the wellspring of inner stamina. If we measure our human strength against the work we see promptly ahead, we will feel sad, and if we tackle it in that strength, we will be disappointed and perhaps fall into slowness or misery. There could be no better exercise we can learn than our impediments if this is joined…
1. “Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap. For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life. For whoever keeps the whole law but fails in one point has become accountable for all of it.” 2 “For the moment, all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant, but later it…
The voice of forgiveness should be vocal like never before. We realise that foes of the Christian faith encompass us. On such occasions, forgiveness makes its point like never early, for the foe’s irate scorn provokes us to meet him with the inverse. Our foes are the very ones we should adore by having confidence and understanding, realising that regardless of their visual deficiency, they have a heavenly sparkle that should be fanned. Love for our adversaries must be genuine…
A pastor who went to prison for a fraudulent Gift Aid claim once said, and I quote: “I think I’m quicker to confess, rather than make excuses. I’ve made a mistake, and I hope anybody who has made a mistake realises – like I have done – [that] there is life after. You can make a mistake – you are a human being – but it’s how you deal with it. By the grace of God, I made it through….
1. “The Lord will open to you his good treasury, the heavens, to give the rain to your land in its season and to bless all the work of your hands. And you shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow.” 2 “A good man leaves an inheritance to his children’s children, but the sinner’s wealth is laid up for the righteous. Wealth gained hastily will dwindle, but whoever gathers little by little will increase it.” 3 “For…
Wealth creation and or innovation is a divine gift, and God says that He is the one who gives the ability to create wealth (Deuteronomy 8:18). First, God says there is a risk that people will think and say that they themselves have made wealth, failing to acknowledge the Lord in it. Yes, the precursor to verse 18 remains worth note!
