The Rewards of Being Faithful

John Great February 2, 2014 Miscellaneous 0

What does God feel about our serving Him? Does He value it? And what exactly are His rewards for our faithfulness to Him? Today, we shall start a process of finding out. In other words, what does faithfulness to God, or in one word, godliness, ensure? Let’s see. First, godliness insures protection. If you have property or anything of value, you protect it. We belong to God! We amount to something! He protects us! Writing to the Ephesians, Paul uses husbands and wives as an illustration of Christ and the Church: “Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ loved the church, and gave himself for it” (Eph. 5:25). He went on to say, “So ought men to love their wives as thei... »

Prov 28:26 ¶ He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered. Walketh WISELY… wow. The Word tells us that Wisdom is the Word of God. The key to winning in life is in not listening to (trusting in) our feelings, no matter how badly we might feel something, but rather to ask ourselves, what does the Word of God say about this? … and act accordingly. The fear of the Lord, the Word says, is the beginning of Wisdom. There is something obedience to instructions does to your life. It makes you avoid troubles in life, and makes a success out of you.

Power to Change in the Word!

John Great January 28, 2014 Faith, The Authority of a Believer, The Power of the Word 0

Almost every recorded miracle Jesus performed, He used words to do it — commanding, irrefutable, irresistible words. Most of the time Jesus simply commanded every hindrance or problem to come into subjection to His Word and whatever it was that stood in His way — whether it was evil spirits, diseases, sicknesses, or the natural elements — it had to obey Him! At the wedding at Cana, Jesus performed His first miracle using words — words that changed a natural circumstance and met a need. You remember the story: Jesus and His disciples went to a wedding feast in Cana. When the host needed more wine, Jesus’ mother came to Him and asked Jesus to do something about it. (JOHN 2:1-11) Notice t... »

How well we manage our time determines how our future would be. Michael LeBoeuf said ‘Waste your money and you’re only out of money, but waste your time and you’ve lost a part of your life.’ Even the Bible says ‘Act like people with good sense and not like fools. These are evil times, so make every minute count.’ (Eph 5:15-16, CEV). Time is the most important resource we have, and our success depends on how we manage it. But really, taking charge of our time does not have to be so difficult. All it takes to start taking REAL charge of your time is 2 things. “WRITE and REFOCUS.” What does this mean? Well, ‘WRITE‘ has to do with setti... »

The Key to Success

John Great January 25, 2014 Miscellaneous 0

John 10:10 I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. While Jesus was on earth, He was the original motivational speaker. He was not just that though, He is the motivational POWER GIVER that actually CAUSES you to have success. God is not against wealth, riches and success. The Word of God states, But you shall remember Jehovah your God, for it is He who gives you power to get wealth, so that He may confirm His covenant which He has sworn… (De 8:18) What has God sworn? Gen 22:17 says ‘In blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply your seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore. This is a ... »
