Fruitfulness in leadership is not the result of training , location , or resources . It is the result of abiding in Christ . Jesus taught the first leaders this principle when He said , ''Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit He prunes , that it may bear more fruit '' ( John 15 ;2 ) . As a branch must be in the vine to bear fruit , so must the fruit- bearing leader be in Christ . Effectiveness in leadership is a result of abiding in…

GOD’S WORD IS NOT NEGOTIABLE!

This title brings great confidence to the children of God for they know their God cannot lie and therefore they shall be strong and do exploits and glorify God!!

Doubt, The Faith Killer

“Lord help my unbelief.” (Mark 9:24)

Surely the greatest desire of anyone seeking a closer walk with the Lord is to have less doubt and a stronger faith. How often I shake my head for being so slow to trust the Lord despite the many clear promises He has given us. God…

Jesus taught His disciples to love one another . He said to them , ''This is My commandment , that you love one another as I have loved you'' ( John 15 :12 ) . Believers , leaders especially , are to be known by their love for one another . Perhaps the saddest commentary on leaders is when competition , not love , controls and shapes their relationships . Jesus never intended for His leaders to compete with one anther . He wants them to love one another and respect one another's calling from…

Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.

What's it like Living in a Fearful Society?

The answer to that is easy if you are an ardent reader of the news. Teachers and school boards are afraid of drawings, photos or even young children playing cowboys and indians or anything else that may resemble the use of a gun, knife, and lately even home tools have become a target of fear.…

Dearly Beloved,

WHAT IS THE SOURCE OF YOUR WEALTH?

"The blessing of the LORD brings wealth, and he adds no trouble to it" (Proverbs 10:22 NIV).

When one is talking about wealth, one's mind quickly goes to the popular definition of the word "wealth" which a dictionary gives as "(possession of a) large amount of money, property, etc." Another meaning by an encyclopedia is "an accumulation of goods having economic value." It is simply referred to as "riches." However, this…

GRACE that teaches us how to live (Titus 2:12)....... Teaching us that denying (forsaking or renouncing) ungodliness and worldly lusts (lusts of the eye and of the heart, and the pride of life), we should live soberly, (the ability to exercise self-restraint over all passions and desires, enabling us to conform to the mind of Christ) righteously (just, without prejudice or partiality) and godly (reverence to God manifested in actions).…

Christ is found in the suffering and eyes of the poor. He is seen in the faces of the homeless and the forgotten. There is a clear difference in being a "believer" in Christ and in being a "follower" of Christ. Even the demons believe and tremble. But to follow Him requires us to get out of our comfort zone and let God lead where He will.…
