What is a principle? It is that which is built within a person that governs his life, conduct, behavior, course of action. God is a God of principles. His principles constitute God's divine rule of conduct in the believer. There is a great difference between principle and law. Law is outward or external demands - "do's and don'ts." Principles, motivate, inform, and restrain from within. The principles Jesus taught in Matthew 5-7 are the measuring rod by which we judge our spiritual growth in God. They spell out the life of the Spirit. These principles cannot be legislated; they can only be...

Most messages of the Old Testament prophetic books were addressed to the generations of God's people who lived approximately between the years 840 and 420 B.C. The ten tribes, known specifically as the kingdom of Israel. lived in north Canaan before they were deported by the Assyrians in 722 B.C. The other two tribes, known as the Kingdom of Judah, lived in south Canaan before they were taken captive by the Babylonians in 586 B.C. The people of God were not always divided into two camps. The split of the kingdom came at the end of Solomon's reign, Jeroboam I being the first king of the north,...

No matter how uninformed, ill-equipped, and unqualified we may feel, many of us are confronted with the questions and situations that our youth today are facing. We may not be sure what the qualifications for the job might be, but many of us are utterly convinced that we don't have what it takes

I've heard people say "It's God's will" or "I'll just leave it up to God" when faced with a serious illness or tragedy. Don't fall into that trap. God wants us to pray to him for help. In Luke 18:1 Jesus told his disciples that they should always pray and not give up. And then Jesus asked ...will not God bring about justice for His chosen ones, who cry out to Him day and night? Theologians and religious men have debated this issue about healing for years. Some say Yes, others No. What does the Bible say? That is what counts What I say or what other clergymen or theologians say carries no...

Even as the Aaronic priests entered daily into the Tabernacle of Moses and later into Solomon's Temple, today we as believer-priests are to come daily into His Presence. The Tabernacle of Moses consisted of gates which led into the courts. All believers could come into the courts. The priests moved through the courts to minister to the Lord in the Holy Place. Once a year, the High Priest entered into the Holy of Holies which contained the Ark of the Covenant. The Holy of Holies was the earthly counterpart of the heavenly throne room of God. The Ark, which was covered with the Mercy Seat was...

God's shepherding care relates to all areas of life. When sheep are truly cared for they do not lack but live an abundant life. Tending sheep is work and requires alertness and diligence regarding the condition of the flock. The condition of the flock is often dependent upon the faithfulness of the shepherd. The condition of the shepherd has a great deal to do with his or her relationship to the Lord. Sheep are not like other foraging animals that will send out scouts and lead the herd to food. It is said that sheep will die in a pasture that has been grazed out with fresh pasture right over...

Our spiritual senses of sight, hearing, smell, taste and touch must be exercised and developed every day. Heb 5:14 says: But solid food belongs to those who are of full age, even those who because of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil. Just like exercising our physical body in a gymnasium, we constantly need to exercise our spiritual senses so that we can use them effectively. God the Holy Spirit has to open up the revelatory realm to us in order to help us access it. He needs to reveal to us in the spirit what we cannot experience with our physical senses. The...

1. The Helper: Jesus' Favorite Name for the Holy Spirit Jesus used the term Paraclete, meaning "Helper," to describe the Holy Spirit to His disciples. Perhaps more than any other, this name consistently describes the character of the Holy Spirit in His relationship to us prior to our conversion, at the time of our conversion and following our conversion. 2. The Atonement Terms for the Holy Spirit Certain terms for the Holy Spirit tend to emphasize His role in the salvation of individuals. These saving names include the Anointing, the Eternal Spirit, the Gift of God, the Helper, a New Spirit,...

Marriage was instituted by God when He observed that it is not good that the man should be alone, and which is why He said that He would make him a help meet for him (Genesis 2:18). The creation of Adam was declared by God to be good. Adam was a whole person, and as a man he was made perfect, fresh from God's creative hands. Woman was made a unique divine creation, perfect as a woman. As an individual Adam was made perfect but incomplete in that he needed companionship and help which only the woman, Eve, could provide for him. The union of these two completed the wholeness that separately...

The truth shared in this material, is used to show how the Biblical truth or principles thereof can be used in a practical way, to bring wealth, abundance, and physical prosperity. Biblical wealth is not one of hoping or just confessing, but one of work. Can anyone say that they have found a Malachi 3: 10-12 Christian, where the rooms are too small to handle the blessings? Have we seen any type of those kinds of Christians lately? Why not? This book aims to answer most of these questions, at the end, you should ask this question again, this time with all the knowledge you have learnt and with...
