Apostles & Prophets

Was Apollos an Apostle? In the strictest sense, he is not. But did he do the works of an Apostle? I believe he did. What about in our generation, are there people still doing the works of an Apostle? I believe there are. What about Prophets? Well, the Bible clearly says; in the last days your sons and daughters will prophesy. Probably not in the likes of Elijah or Elisha but these are the last day Prophets.

There are diversities of gifts but it is only one Spirit that empowers them. The Holy Spirit that was at work in the Apostles and Prophets in Biblical times is the same Holy Spirit that is at work in Christians today.

The Bible tells us that these signs shall follow them that believe; and from the time of Christ to our present generation, believers continue to grow in ever increasing numbers. It should follow that these signs also increase in manifestations.

But there are some who profess that these signs passed away together with the passing of the Prophets and the Apostles. If we agree to this, we concur that the Holy Spirit has stopped working. But the Lord Jesus said that the Father never stops working.

But again there are people who profess that the gifts of the Spirit is no longer present today. I believe these people have spent a lot of their time outside the Kingdom they haven't witnessed even at least one. These things don't happen outside the Kingdom but inside. The son of the bond woman has no part in the inheritance of the son of the free woman. And this is a portion of our inheritance in Christ, that no evil thing shall harm us nor to even come near us. And the promise is this, that we should be filled with all the fullness of God.

Now here is a Ministry where these gifts really come alive:

Evolution

As I drive through the streets of Doha, a curious detail keeps drawing my gaze: the kaleidoscope of car side mirrors—even for something so functional, each one looks different—some round, some square, some with tiny LED lights, others with that classic chrome finish. They’re all mirrors, yet each bears its own unique style. I can almost imagine not knowing anything about how cars are made and thinking… “Car evolution?” Could these variations have evolved themselves? It’s a silly—and amusing—thought. Of course, car manufacturers deliberately design these parts with purpose. Engineers and designers craft each mirror to suit a certain need or aesthetic. And then it hit me: our lives are much like those designs. Just as each mirror varies in design and purpose, God shapes us uniquely. No two paths—or people—are identical, and He doesn’t mass-produce faith or life. We are each intentionally designed. So, if you’ve ever felt like you don’t quite fit the mold, remember—you're not a manufa...

A New Creation

2Co 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. A very simple yet so profound truth that we must not forget: we are new creations in Christ. We are not the person that we were before we came to know Christ. We are a new person, a new creature in Christ. This is very foundational and very, very important. Many Christians tend to dwell on the Cross. They stay there and never want to be removed from there because the Cross meant the forgiveness of sins. And that is true. But the very purpose of the Cross was not the forgiveness of sins, but rather, to condemn sin. A Christian is not a sinner saved by grace as some denominations teach. And that phrase, sinner saved by grace, is never really found in the Bible. A Christian is not a sinner. We were sinners before we became Christians, but when we became Christians, we put on the new man. Religion would tell you that you are not worthy, how that you are ...

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...
