Over the years science has spent millions of
dollars to develop the physical body of man. Also millions have been spent
developing man’s intellectual process, which are part of his soul. But very
little is known about developing the spirit of man.
Man spirit can be educated and improved just
as his mind can be educated and improved. The spirit can be trained and built
up just as the body can be built up. How? Through the study of God’s word.
The word of God was given by the spirit of
God, because, “holy men of God speak as they were moved by the holy Ghost (2
peter 1:21)”. This is why th ..read more

Fasting is hard. It sounds much
easier in concept than it proves to be in practice. It can be surprising how
on-edge we feel when we miss a meal. Many an idealistic new fast-er has decided
to miss a meal and only found our belly drove us to make up for it long before
the next mealtime came.

complications that keep it from happening. In view of helping you start down
the slow path to good fasting, here are six simple pieces of advice. These
suggestions might seem pedantic, but the hope is ..read more

It brings great pain to God when His Children
refuse His guidance. There are many believers still living in bondage because
they have refused the guidance of God.
There are many in wrong relationships, wrong
businesses, wrong careers, wrong locations and wrong vocations simply because
they have refused to trust the ability of God to guide them.
Many pray for God’s guidance, but they refuse

want.

every area of your life for your own good. He will remove from your ..read more

Long life and mercy are two benefits
derivable from living a life of holiness. In addition to these, peace is
another dividend of a holy life. A fellow living a sanctified life enjoys God’s
peace at an optimum level.
If you are saved and still lack peace, ask
God to sanctify you wholly. The moment He does this, you will begin to enjoy
peace that is way beyond human understanding.

Enjoying and exercising spiritual authority
is a pleasant experience. Are you enjoying spiritual authority? Better still,
are you really exercising your God-given spiritual authority? If not, why? In the
book of Acts 13:8—12 Apostle Paul exercised spiritual authority over an agent
of the devil.
Elymas the sorcerer could have frustrated the
preaching of the gospel to a potential disciple of Jesus Christ, but for the
fact that Paul the apostle knew the authority that he had.
However, it is one thing to know that you
have authority, and it is another thing to exercise it. You cannot give wh ..read more

As we seek to grow spiritually, there are certain things every new convert in Christ must know, and keep in mind as they grow in their spiritual work with Christ. Most of these things are ignored by new converts and by so doing their spiritual walk with Christ becomes stagnated. Now, let us take a close look at the things we must pay attention to.

Naturally everyone come into this world as a baby. This also holds true in the spiritual realm. When a man or woman comes to Christ for the forgiveness of his or her sins and confesses Jesus Christ as his/her Lord and personal savior. The spirit man dwelling in that person receives a rebirth.
No matter the evils you have done in the past Christ’s blood washes you clean of every evil you may have committed, and within you your spirit man takes on the nature of Christ and the nature of a babe. From this point till the spirit departs from the body through death. You have to grow through the va ..read more
