(One Body In Christ) 4. Helping one another
Speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in all aspects into Him, Who is the Head, even Christ, from Whom the whole Body, being fitted and held together by that which every joint supplies, according to the proper working of each individual part, causes the growth of the Body for the building up...

(One Body In Christ) 5. Submission and leadership
The laws of the Kingdom of God are quite opposite to the laws of earthly kingdoms 6 as different as Heaven is from earth (Isaiah 55:8, 9). On earth, leaders who exercise authority over others are considered to be superior, and those who have to submit, inferior. But it is exactly the reverse in the ... Read More

(One Body In Christ) 6. Power through unity
Two can accomplish more than twice as much as one, for the results can be much better. If one falls, the other pulls him up; but if a man falls when he is alone, he's in trouble.....And one standing alone can be attacked and defeated, but two can stand back-to-back and conquer; three is even better,...

(Practical Discipleship) 1. Disciples Or Converts?
It is a common mistake among believers to be taken up with one Scripture on a subject, to the exclusion of other Scriptures on the same subject. Satan tempted our Lord with the words "It is written ...." (Matthew 4:6). But the Lord rejected the temptation by saying, "It is also written ...." (Matthe... Read More

A disciple is a learner and a follower of the Lord Jesus. He is one who has made Jesus his Example and seeks to conform his life to his Master's in every possible way.

(Practical Discipleship) 3. Discipleship And Money Matters
No servant can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will hold to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and Mammon." (Luke 16:13) Here our Lord made it clear that the alternate master to God, is Mammon (money and material riches). The alternate m... Read More

(Practical Discipleship) 4. Discipleship And Church Matters
A disciple of Jesus can never be a loner. He will always live in fellowship with other disciples in a local church. Jesus said that the primary mark of His disciples would be "love for one another" (John 13:35). This is possible only when the disciple is related to other disciples. So there cannot b... Read More

(Principles Of Serving God) 2. God Needs Men
God needs men today - men who will stand before His face and hear His voice daily; men who have no desire in their heart for anyone or anything other than God Himself; men who fear God so greatly that they hate sin in every form and love righteousness and truth in all their ways; men who have overco...

(Secrets Of Victory) 1. A life of constant triumph
God's will for our lives is constant victory. This is clearly taught in a number of Scriptures. Consider just a few: Thanks be to God Who always leads us in His triumph in Christ" (2 Corinthians 2:14). In all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him Who loves us" (Romans 8:37). I am writin... Read More

(Secrets Of Victory) 10. Faith in God - or faith in money?
Money is the great power in this world. That's why Jesus said that there were only two masters seeking for our devotion - God and Mammon. No servant can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one, and love the other, or else he will hold to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and... Read More

(Secrets Of Victory) 11. God helps those who are weak
The world says that God helps those who help themselves. But the Bible says that God helps those who are unable to help themselves. He is the God of the weak and the helpless. He calls Himself the God of the widows, orphans and strangers. Deuteronomy 10:17, 18 says, The Lord your God is the God of g... Read More

(Secrets Of Victory) 12. All-sufficient grace
The sum and substance of all that we have been saying thus far is that all of our salvation is by grace and through faith. For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God." (Ephesians 2:8). We began our Christian life - receiving forgiveness of sins ... Read More

(Secrets Of Victory) 15. Words of Wisdom
If we keep the letter of the law but deny its spirit, we have a form of godliness without its power. A humble person is thankful to God and to man for the smallest things. If we are overcome by any sin, the root cause is pride somewhere or the other. If we are truly humble, it is impossible not to r... Read More

(Secrets Of Victory) 2. The absolute necessity of faith
1 John 2:6 says, The one who says he abides in Christ ought himself to walk in the same manner as he walked". How did Jesus walk? Was it in victory some of the time, or most of the time or all the time? We know the answer. He was tempted in all points as we are, but He never sinned. We do not have a... Read More

(Secrets Of Victory) 3. Taking God’s Word seriously
A bad habit that many believers have is that of taking God's Word lightly. Take Jesus' words in Matthew 12:36, 37 for example: Every careless (idle) word that men shall speak, they shall render account for it in the day of judgement. For by your words you shall be justified and by your words you sha... Read More

(Secrets Of Victory) 4. God’s dealings are all in love
God has always required obedience from man. Under the old covenant, the Israelites were given commandments to obey. But they discovered that they could not keep God's laws perfectly. Under the new covenant, God promises to write His laws in our hearts and minds so that we will not only obey Him but ... Read More
