Blessed to be a blessing?

Did God bless us so that we can be a blessing to others? Just that? Did God bless us so that we can call our brother or sister and say, "Hey come, let's share and enjoy this blessing?" For most Christians, that's all their relationship with God is about, the blessings.

We need to learn to take our eyes off from the blessings. We need to see far beyond it! The blessing that God gave us is meant for a purpose. And we should be able to see what that purpose is so that we can appropriate the blessing to that purpose. And that's the reason why people feel empty after that the blessing is ran out because it was misappropriated. As if nothing happened. Because indeed, material blessings are simply consumed.

God calls us to offer up ourselves as living sacrifices; to continue His work. Christians ought to grasp the Apostle's Doctrine that to live is Christ and to die is gain. It is when we die that we gain. And while we still live we ought to work. It is no longer us who lives but it is Christ who lives in us. We ought to be doing the work of Christ. God would rather take you home than let you stay and enjoy and spoil in this world. An overstatement maybe, but it is not uncommon that some Christians just pass away so suddenly. Let it be every Christian's desire that when his day comes, he shall declare, "I have finished my course.."

Strengthening ROL

There are many doctrines that we do not know about, and some of them I am also just learning right now. But they are not really necessary and I believe that a Christian doesn't need to know all of them because most of these doctrines are actually devices by the enemy. But we must be fully grounded in the truth so that we may be able to test each of these doctrines when they come around. I am confident that we have the Holy Spirit in us and so we know the truth. What we know cannot be wrong because we know whom we learned them from. It may be that we know only a few things, but these few things always align themselves to the truth because we have received them from the Spirit himself. The teaching that “once saved always saved” really doesn't hold and the doctrine easily crumbles at the words of our Lord in the beginning chapters of the book of Revelations: Rev 2:5   Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto t...

The Operation of God

Col 2:12  Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead. The word operation was translated from the Greek:   G1753 ἐνέργεια energeia en-erg'-i-ah From G1756; efficiency (“energy”): - operation, strong, (effectual) working. This gives us an idea of what goes on in the spirit realm when a person comes to Christ. The Scripture says, we are risen with Him through the faith of the operation of God... the energy... the effectual working of God.  Here is what happens in the spirit realm, believers are risen from the dead by this energy - the effectual working of God. And it is made to pass through the faith of this energy. Now, this clearly tells us that this is not Man's faith, it is God's faith.  Notice the first part of this Scripture. It says, Buried with Him in baptism. This is where Man's faith is in operation. Baptism is the answer of a good conscience toward God. The a...

Transcribing Kathryn Kuhlman

 "It means something to be a Christian. It means something to be born again. It’s something more than just shedding of your tears. It’s much more than just kneeling down and saying a prayer. This thing of being a Christian is a life; it’s an experience; it’s a day-by-day proposition. And you haven’t really learned how to live; you have no real purpose in life; there is no real purpose for you in living; until you have been born again." "It cost everything. If you really want to know the price; if you really want to know the price, I’ll tell you. It’d cost you everything. Kathryn Kuhlman died a long time ago. I know the day, I know the hour, I can go to the spot where Kathryn Kuhlman died. But you see for me it was easy; because I had nothing." "You can only know His perfect will, and He'll only make intercession for you before the Father's throne, seeking the will of God on your behalf, when you get to a place where you have no will of your own. And...
