True Stewardship

Image
Stewardship is how we take care of another's property entrusted to us and the idea is to manage it well to make it profitable. But God has a different idea about stewardship. It's how we give up what's entrusted to us, how we lose valuable things he blessed us with, so we may gain Him. Stewardship to God is losing material things dear to us to make the right spiritual investment. But church has it the other way around. It sees stewardship the way the world does---storing up treasures on earth. Or, if they talk about stewardship of time, it's making "smart" use of time by being busy accomplishing things.  Photo above by  Jonathan Pielmayer   on   Unsplash . Stewardship of money is often seen like what corporate companies do with their finances. Church would fuss a lot about accounting and auditing, records and ledgers, the works. Spending only according to agreed budgets and apportionments. Not a cent would be used for anything unless the church board approves...

Why the Spoken Word is LIFE

Image
Only the spoken Word is Spirit and Life--so get the spoken Word, not just the printed Word! And I mean, spoken, as in spoken from God's own mouth. It can't be overemphasized (I'm not exaggerating)--the spoken WORD is LIFE. We often treat God's Word as a book we bring to church on Sundays so we'd look Christian.

John 6.63: The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing (zero). The words I have spoken to you—they are full of the Spirit and life.   See a free review of the e-book, God's Flesh." Click here. Jesus himself stressed the extreme importance of the spoken Word. In effect, he's saying that anything outside the spoken Word is flesh, and they count for nothing; they produce zero result in God's eyes. Zero. Pfft. Nothing. Nada. Only the spoken Word is Spirit and Life. What God speak...

Believing the Resurrection and the Supernatural Power

Image
Jesus' resurrection--it was the first in the world. It was purely supernatural. And that resurrection is part of a believer's daily life. We experience it right NOW and yet it's still to come. Because Christ's resurrection is purely supernatural, you cannot afford not to believe that the supernatural still happens everyday in a believer's life. Resurrection is not a decision to change for the better because you're now a regular church person. It's a supernatural transformation only God can effect in you. The satanic kingdom has no real power but it stole the supernatural powers that GOD gave the church when the church neglected them. Then the evil kingdom distorted everything about that power. But God, according to His promise, will restore everything back to the true church. Learn more.  The Father could've willed to experience it himself but delegated it to His Son, Jesus Christ. It's an incredible way of transforming body, soul and spirit to the h...
