Book excerpt: The Lord Jesus Christ came to found a great kingdom of many spiritual nations—the race of the elect, the community of king-priests—and the apostles were the builders. In a sense, every ministry, and every community, has a founder and the rest are builders of that community. The Lord has called our community to emerge as a great spiritual nation—an organ possessed by the Holy Spirit for the accomplishment of God's end-time purposes. The general concept and Biblical background of a spiritual nation are introduced in Building a Spiritual Nation: The Foundation, by the same author. Building a Spiritual Nation: Spiritual Statesmanship takes us a step further from just the burden of organization for effectiveness, to confront the need to become spiritual statesmen and nation builders. It is a simple study with life-changing lessons from the leadership genius of king David. He forged a spiritual nation for God with a seven-fold might and led it with skillful hands. In this timely book, you will learn the principles of organic leadership in the building of a God-fearing community that brings fusion and provides regulatory coordination through - teamwork, - team leadership, and - teams of leaders. This principle of organic leadership is directly opposed to the toxic and cancerous paradigms fueled by individualism, selfishness and self-seeking which stem from the uncrucified self life—the enemy within! This book is MUST reading for all serious active or aspiring spiritual leader!

Download or read book Making Spiritual Progress Volume Four written by Zacharias Tanee Fomum and published by ZTF Books Online. This book was released on 2015-04-01 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Making Spiritual Progress (Volume 4) is a record of messages given during the teaching ministry of the church in Yaounde (Cameroon) between 1985 and 1986. In this book, Zacharias Tanee Fomum, in his exhaustive study of the Bible and a lifetime of labor in the Lord, is very clear on the following three broad subjects: - The problem with denominational system, - Fellowship in the Body of Christ, and - The Local Church. He quotes extensively from Watchman Nee, who believed that there is but one Body of Christ in the universe. The obvious question that arises is, from the multitude of organizations that call themselves a church today, of which church then, should we be a part? You will find the answer in this book. The book equally discusses God's Universal Church and the local church - their establishment, membership, fellowship, functioning, leadership, and the relationship between local churches. It specifically describes what the Church is and what it isn't. It covers apostolic work, the form for local churches, and how the roles of elders, deacons, apostles, etc., fit into the church. We highly encourage every one who has ever wondered what the Body of Christ is, and why there are so many different "churches" today, to read this book. May the Lord grant you a vision to see His Body, and that you enter into deep fellowship both with Him and with His people.
Download or read book Sanctified and Consecreted for Spiritual Ministry written by Zacharias Tanee Fomum and published by ZTF Books Online. This book was released on 2015-12-30 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: God has done everything He had to do for the sanctification of the believer. In this book, Professor Fomum, delves into the believer's responsibility to do what he must do in order to practically experience sanctification. It is up to the believer to take all necessary steps to make evident the new quality of life that God is showing him. Sanctified and Consecrated for Spiritual Ministry shows you step by step how to place at the disposal of the Lord a pure and available vessel (that is, yourself), which he can use in His service, at His discretion, anywhere, anytime and for any purpose. If you are not sanctified, you don't have the kind of quality vessel that God needs to be consecrated to Him. If you are sanctified, but are not consecrated, God can't use you for astounding and outstanding spiritual ministry. The content of this book is therefore fundamental for all those who are called to a narrow walk with God and to spiritual ministry for Him. This book, if strictly applied, will make you an effective and useful minister in the hands of the Lord.

Download or read book Celebration of Discipline written by Richard J. Foster and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 1988-10-05 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the twenty years since its publication, Celebration of Discipline has helped over a million seekers discover a richer spiritual life infused with joy, peace, and a deeper understanding of God. For this special twentieth anniversary edition, Richard J. Foster has added an introduction, in which he shares the story of how this beloved and enduring spiritual guidebook came to be. Hailed by many as the best modern book on Christian spirituality, Celebration of Discipline explores the "classic Disciplines," or central spiritual practices, of the Christian faith. Along the way, Foster shows that it is only by and through these practices that the true path to spiritual growth can be found. Dividing the Disciplines into three movements of the Spirit, Foster shows how each of these areas contribute to a balanced spiritual life. The inward Disciplines of meditation, prayer, fasting, and study, offer avenues of personal examination and change. The outward Disciplines of simplicity, solitude, submission, and service, help prepare us to make the world a better place. The corporate Disciplines of confession, worship, guidance, and celebration, bring us nearer to one another and to God. Foster provides a wealth of examples demonstrating how these Disciplines can become part of our daily activities-and how they can help us shed our superficial habits and "bring the abundance of God into our lives." He offers crucial new insights on simplicity, demonstrating how the biblical view of simplicity, properly understood and applied, brings joy and balance to our inward and outward lives and "sets us free to enjoy the provision of God as a gift that can be shared with others." The discussion of celebration, often the most neglected of the Disciplines, shows its critical importance, for it stands at the heart of the way to Christ. Celebration of Discipline will help motivate Christians everywhere to embark on a journey of prayer and spiritual growth.
Download or read book The Secret of Spiritual Fruitfulness written by Zacharias Tanee Fomum and published by ZTF Books Online. This book was released on 2015-04-21 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do you bear fruit that abides? In this book, Z.T. Fomum answers this crucial question that believers often ask themselves in their walk with the Lord. In fact, they most often ask it from discouragement. The believer must have a heart full of compassion, be aware of the needs of people without Christ, in a world lost in impotent Christianity, religion, and the like. Here, the author provides us with some rather striking and disconcerting statistics of the distribution of populations, by religion. Everyone will need to know that they have what they need, only as long as we surrender ourselves to the Lord for the blessing and multiplication of what we have. This book is to be read in prayer and with faith.
Download or read book Retreats For Spiritual Progress written by Zacharias Tanee Fomum and published by ZTF Books Online. This book was released on 2015-03-22 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is both an awakening and a reviving manual, with a series of suggested spiritual retreat programmes to guide the beginners. The author, Z.T. Fomum provides an answer to the many questions that Christians often ask themselves, concerning either their own spiritual progress or the spiritual progress of other believers. These questions can be summed up as follows: 1) How do you overcome the tendency to activism which makes agitated believers unable to be calm before God in order to seek Him? 2) How do you know God so that you can serve Him from deep knowledge? 3) In a word, how do you walk from one degree of progress to another in our generation? The author invites us, in response to these many questions, to experience a life of spiritual retreats. That life is a prelude to the great final retreat that the Lord will soon take with His church. Therefore, retreats are presented as a sign of love for the Lord and an activity in preparation for our final retreat with the Lord. Retreats for spiritual progress are to be taken regularly as a way of life. To resolve questions relating to the preparation and planning of a spiritual retreat, the author suggests, as a guide, a series of retreat programmes ranging from 15 minutes to several hours and days. In devising a format for several types of retreats, the author effectively answers the question of what should be done step-by-step during a retreat. You just need to choose the type of retreat you wish to take and just follow the instructions given in the book by the author. This book is both an awakening and a reviving instrument.
Download or read book Cold Case Christianity written by J. Warner Wallace and published by David C Cook. This book was released on 2013-01-01 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by an L. A. County homicide detective and former atheist, Cold-Case Christianity examines the claims of the New Testament using the skills and strategies of a hard-to-convince criminal investigator. Christianity could be defined as a “cold case”: it makes a claim about an event from the distant past for which there is little forensic evidence. In Cold-Case Christianity, J. Warner Wallace uses his nationally recognized skills as a homicide detective to look at the evidence and eyewitnesses behind Christian beliefs. Including gripping stories from his career and the visual techniques he developed in the courtroom, Wallace uses illustration to examine the powerful evidence that validates the claims of Christianity. A unique apologetic that speaks to readers’ intense interest in detective stories, Cold-Case Christianity inspires readers to have confidence in Christ as it prepares them to articulate the case for Christianity.
Download or read book One Nation Under God written by Kevin M. Kruse and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2015-04-14 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The provocative and authoritative history of the origins of Christian America in the New Deal era We're often told that the United States is, was, and always has been a Christian nation. But in One Nation Under God, historian Kevin M. Kruse reveals that the belief that America is fundamentally and formally Christian originated in the 1930s. To fight the "slavery" of FDR's New Deal, businessmen enlisted religious activists in a campaign for "freedom under God" that culminated in the election of their ally Dwight Eisenhower in 1952. The new president revolutionized the role of religion in American politics. He inaugurated new traditions like the National Prayer Breakfast, as Congress added the phrase "under God" to the Pledge of Allegiance and made "In God We Trust" the country's first official motto. Church membership soon soared to an all-time high of 69 percent. Americans across the religious and political spectrum agreed that their country was "one nation under God." Provocative and authoritative, One Nation Under God reveals how an unholy alliance of money, religion, and politics created a false origin story that continues to define and divide American politics to this day.

A probing, frank, and intellectually refreshing testament to the capacity of Islam for renewal, change, and growth, these articles from fifteen Muslim scholars and activists address the challenging and complex issues that confront Muslims today.

Book excerpt: Life Is Never Mainly About Love and Marriage. So Learn to Live and Date for More. Many of you grew up assuming that marriage would meet all of your needs and unlock God's purposes for you. But God has far more planned for you than your future marriage. Not Yet Married is not about waiting quietly in the corner of the world for God to bring you "the one," but about inspiring you to live and date for more now. If you follow Jesus, the search for a spouse is no longer a pursuit of the perfect person, but a pursuit of more of God. He will likely write a love story for you different than the one you would write for yourself, but that's because he loves you and knows how to write a better story. This book was written to help you find real hope, happiness, and purpose in your not-yet-married life.
