The Old Man and The New Man
We have already seen how the old man was like an unfaithful servant who allowed the thieves to enter the home. That old man however has been crucified, put off and buried. There is a new man now within us, who says, "Behold I have come to do Thy will, O God" (Heb. 10:7). Yet we know that it's possib... Read More

The Opinion That 99% of Our Fellow-Believers Have About Us Can Be 100% Wrong
In Rev 3:1 we read; and to the angel of the church in Sardis write; He who has the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars says this; �I know your deeds, that you have a name that you are alive, but you are dead. The messenger in Sardis was one who had built up a tremendous reputation before oth... Read More

The Pathway Of Increasing Light
The will of God is that the path that His children walk on should be one of increasing light(Prov 4:12). For this purpose, He has given us His Word as a light for our pathway(Paslms 119:105). God has exalted His Word according to all His Name(Psalms 138:2). This implies that just as we respect the N... Read More

The Presence Of God
What is the primary mark of a new-covenant church? Many think that it is having a particular pattern of church government and a particular form of meeting. But it is neither of these. The important thing about the church is that it should have Divine life . When a baby is being formed in its mother'... Read More

The Primary Ministry Of The Holy Spirit
The primary ministry of the Holy Spirit in our lives is to help us overcome our self-centredness. The Bible says, "We naturally love to do evil things that are just the opposite to the things that the Holy Spirit tells us to do; and the good things we want to do when the Spirit has his way with us a...

The Principle of Fellowship in Prayer
In Chapter 2 of the book of Daniel, we read about a dream that Nebuchadnezzar had. Nebuchadnezzar called his wise men and told them, "Tell me what I dreamt and its meaning." Those wise men are a picture of preachers who have no touch with God, but who are deceivers. Such preachers cannot interpret G... Read More

The Principle of Sacrifice
In 2 Chronicles 3:1 , we read that "Solomon began to build the house of the Lord on Mount Moriah". Mount Moriah was the place where Abraham had offered his son Isaac to God (Gen. 22). There on that mountain Abraham understood God's way as the way of sacrifice and submitted to it. God sanctified that... Read More

The Proof Of Our Faith
Those who are eager to bring praise, glory and honour to Christ when He comes will be careful to make sure that when their faith is tested, it is genuine (1Pe.1:7). But it is generally difficult for human beings to live just by faith. We tend to look for some sense of God's presence with us or some ... Read More

The QUALITY of our life is more important than the LENGTH of our life
Our calling under the new covenant is not to live long on earth, but to complete the task God has assigned us before we leave. It is possible for a wholehearted brother to finish in 35 years what another good brother would take 70 years to complete. Even where the ground is good, the harvest can sti... Read More

The Real Test Of Our Spirituality
Before the crucifixion Peter had denied the Lord three times. This was the culmination of three and a half disappointing years that he had been with the Lord, during which he had proved himself proud, self- assertive and, prayerless. Yet the Lord, when about to entrust Peter with the feeding of His ... Read More

The Risen Lord
In Rev 1: 12,13 when John turned around to see who was speaking, he saw Jesus. But he saw Him in the midst of the churches. It is through the local church that the Lord seeks to reveal Himself and to speak to others. The first dwelling-place of God mentioned in the Bible is the burning bush that Mos... Read More

The Sad Story of A Man Who Lost His Anointing
When we look at the ministry of Saul, we see Saul initially as a humble, young man who had no interest in becoming king. The people of Israel wanted a king. And one day, the Lord told Samuel: "Tomorrow about this time I will send you a man from the land of Benjamin, and you shall anoint him to be ki... Read More

The Second Resurrection and the Final Judgment
God will then set up His judgment seat to judge all unbelievers. This will be the second resurrection. The dead will be raised from their graves. The souls of all unbelievers will return from hell into their earthly bodies to stand before God to be judged. They will then be judged "from the things w... Read More

The Secret Of New-Covenant Ministry
Paul reveals the secret of his effective ministry in these words: "God strengthens us in all our afflictions, so that we may be able to strengthen those who are in affliction WITH THE SAME STRENGTH WITH WHICH WE ARE STRENGTHENED BY GOD" (2 Cor.1:4). Paul had to go through many afflictions in order t... Read More

The Self-Centered Person's Attitude To God
The attitude of the self-centred life to God and to His service is characterised by a spirit of legalism. Self can try to serve God. It can be very active in such service too - but it is always legalistic service. It seeks a reward for the service it offers to God. "I have served you all these years... Read More
