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:

Why Faith?

Why faith? What is there that we need to know about faith? Why is it that without faith it is impossible to please God? Why did the Lord say, according to your faith be it done unto you? And a lot of times did He say, rise and go your way, your faith has made you well. What is faith? One thing is settled in my heart. It’s not really something so out of this world or something so mind blowing. The Bible does not refer to a special thing or meaning when it talks about faith, or some great mystery hidden behind it. It is as plain and simple as described in the common dictionary. Faith is but the strong belief or conviction in one’s heart. What ever you believe in, that is where your faith is. So when God talks about faith, He means a strong conviction in one’s heart, not doubting, but a firm unwavering conviction that His Word is a settled truth, not subject to debate or argument or whatever. It is settled. Walking by faith and not by sight simply means that we don’t change what we be

The Genealogy and the Gospel of Christ

That I have been introduced to two individuals now who strongly subscribe to John Calvin’s doctrines has got me thinking seriously about this subject. And so for more than a couple of months now, my reading of the Scriptures has been greatly influenced and directed towards the subject of election and predestination and God’s exercise of His absolutely sovereign  will. The book of genealogies never appealed to me and I never really got any significance from it. But today as I read through those genealogies again, something hit me really strongly. The book of genealogies actually is evidence of the move of the mighty hand of God to preserve a people for Himself. In Genesis chapter 5, at verse 4 it says: “The days of Adam after he fathered Seth were 800 years; and he had other sons and daughters.” I asked myself: What about the other sons and daughters were they not significant to God? The answer came rather quickly. They were all significant, but Seth was more significant because alon

Working Out Salvation

Php 2:12-15 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. (13) For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure. (14) Do all things without murmurings and disputings: (15) That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;  Just to remove the misconstruction here, ‘work out’ is not synonymous with ‘work for’. The former means to develop while the latter means to earn. Salvation is not earned. It is freely given of God. He made it that way so that no one can boast. But salvation needs to be developed so that we may reap its fruits. Christians struggle with their faith because after that they have received the Lord Jesus they still face the same problems, the same struggles, the same circumstances even long after that they became
