The Importance of Perseverance
Revelation 1:9 ,10: I, John, your brother and fellow-partaker in the tribulation and kingdom and perseverance which are in Jesus, was on the island called Patmos, because of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus. I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and I heard behind me a loud voice like the... Read More

The Importance of Sacrifice in Building the Body of Christ
We would all like to have the authority that a man like Paul had. But to have that, we have to give up everything like he did and consider it all as worthless rubbish (Phil.3:7-9). Jesus said to the Father, "All that is Mine is Thine." And so He could also add, "All that is Thine is Mine" (Jn.17:10)... Read More

The Importance Of Total Obedience
Saul was another man whom God chose to lead Israel. Saul never wanted to be a king. It was God Who placed him on the throne of Israel. And when the Israelites came to make him king, Saul hid himself, saying, "Who am I to be the king? My family is the least of all the families of Israel" (1 Sam.10:21... Read More

The Influence Of One Man
"I searched for ONE MAN among them who should build up the wall and stand before Me........but I did not find even one man" (Ezek. 22:30). God has many tasks to accomplish in this world, and all of them are not of equal importance. For the unimportant tasks, He may use anyone. But for the really imp... Read More

The Influence Of One Man - Noah & Joshua
Noah When the whole world was filled with wickedness and rebellion against God, in Noah's time, although there were 8 God-fearing people on the earth, yet the fulfilment of God's purposes depended entirely on the faithfulness of just one man, Noah. Noah was the only man who found favour in God's eye... Read More

The Judgment of Babylon
In Rev 19:1-7, we read, "After these things I heard, as it were, a loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, saying, 'Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and power belong to our God; because His judgments are true and righteous; for He has judged the great harlot who was corrupting the earth with her i... Read More

The Kingdom Of God
In Math 6:9,10 Jesus taught us to pray "Our Father in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come...." True salvation should give us a longing to be delivered from self-centredness, so that God now becomes the centre of our lives and the centre of our petitions in prayer. We who were wrong side u...

The Law of Humility
God has made this world to operate according to certain laws. There are laws in the natural realm, in this inanimate creation. There are also laws in our human body. And when we understand those laws, and submit ourselves to them, we get the benefit of those laws. Take electricity, for example. Elec... Read More

The Life And Ministry Of Jesus
It is written about Jesus that "God anointed Him with the Holy Spirit and with power". What was the result? "He went about DOING GOOD and HEALING (DELIVERING) ALL WHO WERE OPPRESSED BY THE DEVIL, for God was with Him." (Acts 10:38). The world around us is full of people who are suffering because Sat...

The marks of cultism
"Let no-one defraud you of salvation's victory prize, no-one who indulges in assumed (false) humility and the cult of messenger-worship .... instead of keeping hold on the Head from which the whole body grows with God's increase"(Col.2:18,19 - Berkeley version). "A people who walk in the way which i... Read More

The Millennium
A reign of peace will then begin for 1000 years, when Garden of Eden conditions will prevail on the earth, with the lion lying down peacefully with the lamb and the child playing with the harmless cobra etc., (Isa. 11:6-9). Jesus will then reign from Jerusalem as King over the whole earth (Zechariah... Read More

The Ministry Of Melchizedek
"Thou art a Priest forever after the order of Melchizedek" (Heb.7:17). Melchizedek was an unknown man - but a man who knew God intimately - who met Abraham when Abraham was returning from a war, and blessed him with food, and with a word from God (Gen.14:14-20). Abraham was tired and was in great da... Read More

The Mode of Baptism
We now come to the question : HOW should we be baptized? The word `baptism' is not an English word. The New Testament was originally written in Greek; and the word `baptism' is derived from the Greek word `bapto', which means `to cover wholly with a fluid' or `to immerse'. And this is exactly what b... Read More

The Motive Of Our Consecration
In all our service for the Lord it is the motive underlying that service that matters. At the judgement seat of Christ the important question will not be "What did you do?" so much as "Why did you do it?" It is not the number of hours that we spend in reading our Bibles or in prayer, or the number o... Read More

The Need for Revelation and Power (2014)
In Ephesians 1:17,18, Paul had prayed that the Christians at Ephesus might receive revelation from the Holy Spirit. At the end of this first half of Ephesians, in chapter 3:16, Paul prays that they might receive power from the Holy Spirit. These are our two greatest needs - revelation and power. The... Read More

The New Convenant Life and Church
(Substance of messages given at Tuticorin Conference, Tamilnadu, India - January 2016) 1. If we are truly "justified by Christ's blood" (Rom.5:9) and "accepted" in Christ (Eph.1:6 KJV), then our past is no longer remembered by God (Heb.8:12). Then our past is sinless in God's eyes. And it will remai... Read More

The New Wine
At the marriage in Cana, where Jesus was present, the old wine ran out. The old wine was made with human effort, over a period of many years - but it could not meet the need. This is a parable of life under the law - the old covenant. The old wine runs out; and the Lord has to wait until it runs out... Read More

The New-Testament Church
In the midst of many `churches' in your locality, you should look for one that conforms most closely to the New Testament, as you have understood it thus far. As time goes on, and you understand more of the New Testament, you may feel that you have to leave that 'church' and join another which is mo... Read More
Zac Poonen
The Obedience of Faith
Baptism should be the first step of obedience in the life of a disciple, leading on to a lifetime of obedience - and this obedience must be the obedience of faith and not the obedience of reason. If Jesus had leaned upon His own reason, He would never have gone to John the Baptist for baptism. For H... Read More
