Don’t Stop Halfway
It’s dangerous to be half-hearted. God wants us to be full of zeal and the fire of God. Let’s go all the way. Elisha was a mighty prophet who had a double portion of the anointing that was on Elijah. Whereas the Bible records 7 miracles done by Elijah, Elisha did 14 miracles. Elisha was…
Mixing Faith with God’s Word
The word of God was preached to ancient Israel, but it did not really help them. The reason for this is that the word of God was not mixed with faith inside them when they heard it (Hebrews 4:2). They didn’t really believe what God said. The word of God contains infinite power. But the…
Do Christians Have to Go to Church?
In the Bible it was normal for Christians to go to church. Throughout the New Testament, there are many examples of believers meeting together in church. In Acts 2:42 the believers met together for church every day. They were devoted to both the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, because we need both teaching and fellowship.…
Sons of Zadok
In the New Testament, all of God’s people are priests (1 Peter 2:5). All God’s people are to serve him, and we all have an important ministry to fulfill. Being a priest of God is one of the most important things we can do with our lives. In the Old Testament, some priests were faithful…
Operating in Your Spiritual Gift
Spiritual gifts are miraculous operations of the Holy Spirit. Everyone who believes in Jesus has at least one spiritual gift (1 Corinthians 12:7; 1 Peter 4:10). Some Christians have multiple spiritual gifts. Spiritual gifts begin to operate within us after the Holy Spirit comes inside of us when we are born again. After this, when…
House Churches or Church Buildings?
Throughout the New Testament, God’s people gathered in house churches. In fact, the only place where church meetings happened in the New Testament is in homes (Acts 2:46; Romans 16:3-5; 1 Corinthians 16:19; Colossians 4:15; Philemon 2). There are no examples of any NT church meetings happening anywhere else. Sometimes the early Christians evangelized in…
Breaking Bread
The church is on a journey to become the glorious and spotless bride of Christ (Ephesians 5:27). She is getting ready for the marriage supper of the lamb (Revelation 19:7). The church prepares for this glorious supper by being conformed to the word of God. As she obeys the word, she is sanctified and cleansed…
God Loves Us
Knowing how much God loves us is foundational for our spiritual health. We need to know the love of Christ, which passes knowledge, that we might be filled with all the fullness of God (Ephesians 3:19). We can only know the love of God, which is beyond our knowledge, through the help of the Holy…
Hearing and Doing God’s Word
Jesus tells us we should not just hear God’s word, but we should do it. We should do what God says because he told us to do it. He is our Lord and Master, and therefore whatever he says is what we should do. It’s healthy for us to obey God: it blesses us, and…
Stir Yourself Up to Take Hold of God
As God’s people, we need to stir ourselves up to take hold of God. We should not be spiritually lazy and passive, just waiting to be acted upon by God or by other people. We need to exert ourselves spiritually. Sometimes no one stirs himself to take hold of God (Isaiah 64:7). No one rouses…
