(Living As Jesus Lived) 2. Living In Humility
The greatness of God is seen by the world in the marvels of creation (Psalms 19:1). The universe is so vast that the human mind cannot comprehend it. Galaxies of stars have been flung out across space, billions of light-years apart. At the same time, each bit of matter in this universe is made up of... Read More

(Living As Jesus Lived) 3. Living In Holiness
God is Light and Love (1 John 1:5; 4:8). He "dwells in unapproachable light" (1 Timothy 6:16). Because He is holy, He calls us also to be holy. But holiness, for a human being, can come only through temptation. Adam was created innocent, without even the knowledge of good and evil. God wanted him to... Read More

(Living As Jesus Lived) 4. Living In Love
We have seen that God is both Light and Love. The glory of God was seen in the Lord Jesus, full of Light as well as of Love. Light and Love are inseparable. True holiness is full of love and true love is perfectly pure. They are distinguished here only for purposes of our own understanding. If one c... Read More

(Living As Jesus Lived) 5. Living In The Spirit
In the last three chapters, we have seen the way Jesus lived on earth - in humility, holiness and love. The danger now is to think that we can imitate Jesus in these areas and thus become like Him. The glory of God is to be manifested through us, not through an imitation of Jesus, but through our pa... Read More

(Living As Jesus Lived) 6. Living In The Will of God
From Him are all things" (Romans 11:36). Jesus said that the kingdom of heaven belonged to the poor in spirit (Matthew 5:3). He also said that only those who do the will of the Father would enter that kingdom (Matthew 7:21). The kingdom of heaven is eternal, and only that which has been done in the ... Read More

(Living As Jesus Lived) 7. Living By The Power of God
"Through Him are all things" (Romans 11:36) Adam was created by God with fantastic powers in his soul. He could give a name to every animal and bird that God had made (Genesis 2:19). We find it difficult to remember even a few of those thousands of names. Adam could give a different name to each. Th... Read More

(Living As Jesus Lived) 8. Living For The Glory of God
To Him are all things" (Romans 11:36) God is the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last. And so, as all things of an eternal nature originate in Him, they find their consummation in Him too. All things were created by God to bring glory to Him. This is not because God... Read More

(Living As Jesus Lived) 9. The Bride Of Christ
In the closing pages of Scripture, we find the result of the Holy Spirit's work - the Bride of Christ. We also see there the result of Satan's counterfeit work - the Harlot church. John says, I saw the HOLY CITY, THE NEW JERUSALEM, beautiful as a BRIDE, descending from God. It was FILLED WITH THE GL... Read More

(Needed-Men Of God) 1. Men of Spiritual Calibre
Throughout the centuries, the men and women whom God has been able to use to rout the forces of darkness, to make a lasting impact upon the heathen for His Name and to establish a testimony for His glory, have always been few in number. The blessings of God are received by many but the working remna... Read More

(Needed-Men Of God) 2. A Holy Man of God
"And it fell on a day, that Elisha passed to Shunem, where was a great woman; and she constrained him to eat bread. And so it was, that as oft as he passed by, he turned in thither to eat bread. And she said unto her husband, Behold now, I perceive that this is an holy man of God, which passeth by u... Read More

(Needed-Men Of God) 3. A Servant
Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of the Lord that we may inquire of the Lord by him? And one of the king of Israel's servants answered and said, Here is Elisha the son of Shaphat, which poured water on the hands of Elijah" (2 Kings 3:11). Elisha is referred to here as the one who used t... Read More

(Needed-Men Of God) 4. An Anointed Man
Elisha took up also the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and went back, and stood by the bank of Jordan; and he took the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and smote the waters, and said, Where is the Lord God of Elijah? and when he also had smitten the waters, they parted hither and thither: ...

(New Wine In New Wineskins) 1. new wineskins
Jesus spoke about new wine being put into new wineskins (Luke 5:37). The new wine is the life of Jesus and the new wineskin is the church that Jesus builds.

(New Wine In New Wineskins) 10. Overcoming the spirit of the Antichrist
We are living in the days immediately preceding the emergence of the Antichrist on the world scene. But before he becomes manifest as Satan's chief representative on earth, there will be a gradual build-up of the world situation to pave the way for him - somewhat like the slope that leads to the sum...

(New Wine In New Wineskins) 11. Victory through praise
Our calling as disciples of Jesus is to live by faith. The chief mark of faith is praise and thanksgiving. "They believed His words ....they sang His praise" (Psalm 106:12). The Israelites referred to there could however, praise God only after they saw the Egyptians drowned in the Red Sea. Then they... Read More

(New Wine In New Wineskins) 12. Why Christians fall
Why do Christians fall into sin? Before we consider the reasons for this, we must distinguish clearly between being tempted and sinning. James 1:14, 15 clearly states that everyone is tempted when he is lured by his own fleshly desires. Then when his mind consents to the temptation, a conception tak... Read More
Zac Poonen
(New Wine In New Wineskins) 13. Dead works
The New Testament speaks of the works of the flesh (Galatians 5:19) as well as of dead works (Hebrews 6:1). Those who indulge in the works of the flesh such as immorality, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, etc., will certainly not inherit the kingdom of God. These works are so obviously sinful t...

(New Wine In New Wineskins) 14. God's blessing or God's approval?
There are two types of believers - those who seek only God's blessing and those who seek God's approval; and there is a world of difference between the two. In Revelation 7:9-14, we read of a great multitude of believers - so vast that they cannot even be numbered. Their testimony is that they owe t... Read More

(New Wine In New Wineskins) 15. Another 'Jesus' and his ministry
Imagine that you were in Palestine over 1960 years ago and that you heard of the ministry of someone called "Jesus of Nazareth" who was healing the sick. Not having seen Him yourself, you are delighted when you come across a large crowd attending a healing meeting in Jerusalem, with someone called '... Read More

(New Wine In New Wineskins) 16. 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" (Colossians 2:18, 19 - Berkeley version). "A people who walk in the way... Read More
