Where Miracles follow the Word

So, after all these things, where does Jesus fit into the picture? Pray that the Lord will reveal Himself to you as you go through todays study on essential doctrines of the Bible.

The Identity of Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ is both God and man. He is the one God incarnate. “For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily” (Colossians 2:9). “God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself” (II Corinthians 5:19). Jesus Christ is the image of the invisible God, God manifest in flesh, our God and Savior, and the express image of God’s own person (substance) (II Corinthians 4:4; Colossians 1:15; I Timothy 3:16; Titus 2:13; Hebrews 1:3; II Peter 1:1). He is not the incarnation of one person of a trinity, but the incarnation of all the character, quality, and personality of the one God. (more…)

Essential Doctrines of the Bible (Part 3)

As we continue with these essential doctrines of the Bible, I earnestly pray that you will submit yourself to God and not the will of man or religious precepts. It is our duty and honour to do the will of God, only then can we call Him Master and Lord.

The Doctrine of God
“God is a Spirit” (John 4:24). He is not made of flesh, blood, bones, or physical matter. He is invisible to the human eye unless He chooses to reveal Himself in some way (John 1:18). God has individuality, rationality, and personality. He is self-existent, eternal, and unchanging. He is omnipresent (everywhere present), omniscient (all knowing and all wise), and omnipotent (all powerful).
God’s moral nature includes holiness, justice and righteousness, mercy and grace, love, faithfulness, truth, and goodness. He is absolutely perfect in every way. I John 4:8 says, “God is love”; no other religion identifies God so totally with love. (more…)

Essential Doctrines of the Bible (part 2)

Today, we continue on the essential doctrines of the Bible.
If you missed part 1, click here.

The Bible
Since God exists, the Word of God must also, for would not the Creator communicate with His creation? Since God created us as rational beings and since He loves us enough to provide for us, surely He wishes to communicate with us and thereby fulfill His purpose for creation. All intelligent beings seek to communicate, and the Supreme Intelligence is no exception. (more…)

Perfect will of God!

In the previous message titled as “Spiritual Attack and Defend strategies”, I have dealt with the following verses according to Paul to the Colossae: 

 Col 1:9  For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;

Col 1:10  That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;

 Looking at this in depth, we see the following aspects that he highlights:

  • that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;
  • That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing,
  • being fruitful in every good work,
  •  and increasing in the knowledge of God;

 I feel the Lord is pressing it on my heart to explore this verse a little bit more, especially concerning His perfect will.  We know that when we walk in His perfect will, you can not be anything else than to please Him, to be fruitful in every good work and also increasing in the knowledge of who God is and what His will for you would be.

BUT, the question now arises: What is the perfect will of God?  Is it a general phrase or term, or is it something more specific? I would not dare to proclaim that the following insight is the only explanation for the will of God, but I am sure it would give us a pretty good picture of it.  (more…)

Watchman…Where Are You? (part 3)

By Bishop Samuel Smith – Chairman of the AWCF

“The burden of Dumah. He called to me out of Seir, Watchman, what of the night? Watchman, what of the night?” (Isaiah 21:11)

Our Lord Jesus Christ did not come to this fallen world to merely start a new religion. He did not pay the bloody price on a rugged cross at the hands of the cruelest of men to create mental fodder for philosophers and theologians to thresh, ponder and debate; nor to provide well compensated employment for architects, artists, and religious orators for ages to come. He came to seek and to save that which was lost! (more…)
