Download or read book Receive Power to Get Wealth written by Olufemi Ayinde and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-03-17 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are those who have been deceived by the devil. They've been made to believe the lie that some people are destined to be wealthy while some others are destined to be poor, and there is nothing they can do about it. In addition, many dedicated and devoted Christians have been made to have a misconception, 1 Timothy 6:10. They forget that to have money is not evil but the love of it is the root of evil. Wealth doesn't only refer to money; it is also associated with abundance of valuable possessions. However, these satanic and destructive lies have crippled many Christians today, thereby making them to maintain the position of not wanting to get wealth. And to worsen it, some people, including Christians are even pleased or satisfied to live in poverty; thinking that Christians are meant to suffer poverty in order to reflect their consecration to God. It's high time we knew the truth, because it's only in truth we can be set free (John 8:32). Get yourself a copy to know more.

Book excerpt: C. S. Lewis excelled at plumbing the depths of the human heart, both the good and the bad, the beautiful and the corrupt. From science fiction and fantasy to essays, letters, and works of apologetics, Lewis has offered a wealth of insight into how to live the Christian life. In this book, Rigney explores the center of Lewis's vision for the Christian life—the personal encounter between the human self and the living God. In prayer, in the church, in the imagination, in our natural loves, in our pleasures and our sorrows, God brings us into his presence so that we can become fully human: alive, free, and whole, transformed into the image of Jesus Christ.
Download or read book Happiness written by Randy Alcorn and published by NavPress. This book was released on 2015-09-17 with total page 575 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do you ever wonder whether God even cares if we’re happy? This world can be so hard, and we aren’t promised an easy road. But that’s not the whole story. The Bible is filled with verses that prove that ours is a God who not only loves celebrations but also desperately wants his children to experience happiness. Why else would he go to the lengths he did to ensure our eternal happiness in his presence? We know that we will experience unimaginable joy and happiness in heaven, but that doesn’t mean we can’t also experience joy and happiness here on earth. In Happiness, noted theologian Randy Alcorn (bestselling author of Heaven) dispels centuries of misconceptions about happiness, including downright harmful ideas like the prosperity gospel, and provides indisputable proof that God not only wants us to be happy, he commands it. Randy covers questions like: How can I cultivate happiness in my life? What’s the difference between joy and happiness? Can good things become idols that steal our happiness? Is seeking happiness selfish? How can I achieve happiness through gratitude? What does it look like to receive God’s grace? The most definitive study on the subject of happiness to date, this book is a paradigm-shifting wake-up call for the church and Christians everywhere.
Download or read book Your New Life written by Elewechi Ngozi Okike and published by . This book was released on 2016-03-18 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is often said that the journey of a thousand miles begins with the very first step. Sometimes people who set out on a journey fail to get to their destination, either because of an accident, or other unforeseen circumstances. Just as it is in the physical realm, so also it is in the spiritual. Inviting Jesus into their lives is the first step in the Christian journey for new believers. The purpose of this book, YOUR NEW LIFE, is to ensure that they arrive at their 'destination' safely. God is not only interested in seeing souls saved He wants them established in the faith. This is the very essence of YOUR NEW LIFE. Inspired by the Holy Spirit, the book has been written out of a strong desire to see new believers established in their walk with God. It is to help them get to grips with their faith in Christ and to go on to maturity. For more mature Christians, the book enables them to explain the basic foundation of the Christian life in the uttermost simplicity. In Matthew 28: 18-20, Jesus told His disciples that they should go and make disciples of all men and teach them to obey His commands. And in John 15:16, Jesus said that we did not choose Him, but He has chosen and appointed us that we should go and bear fruit, and that our fruit should remain, that whatever we ask the Father in His name, He will give to us. He was giving to His disciples final instructions in relation to how to build people spiritually in the church. On the subject of church life, there are countless books that have been published, many seminars to attend and church conferences arranged. The 'Body of Christ' is not devoid of teaching in relation to what the church needs and much of it is excellent revelation and we need to thank God that we live in a day when such teaching is readily available. Having acknowledged that, we must never forget the words Jesus said to His disciples in those final moments - 'make disciples and teach them to obey my commands'. This suggests that people are not born disciples, but that they need to enter a process by which they will become disciples. Jesus knew the importance and impact of a life touching another life. Therefore it is vital that we who have already submitted our own will and are true disciples give ourselves to the process of building people, so that they in turn will do the same to others. We were not told to gather a crowd and use techniques of the day to accomplish that aim; this is not about how many people we gather on a Sunday but how effective we are in making people true followers of Jesus Christ. This is what YOUR NEW LIFE is about, making people disciples and true followers of Jesus Christ. Ngozi Okike is a woman who all her life has understood these principles. Before she penned anything in this manual she has lived through it and tested it in her own life. Her desire is to see the 'Body of Christ' built up and a lifestyle to begin the moment a person surrenders his/her life to Christ, so that it will ultimately produce true discipleship in their lives. Because of her deep conviction and belief that a person should be taught to lean upon the Lord and know what He is commanding us to do she has given us (the Church) this tool by which we can achieve this objective in people's lives. You will find that YOUR NEW LIFE is a very basic manual written in plain easy to understand language so as not to alienate anyone from the truth. Ngozi herself is very educated, yet she has been able to communicate life-changing principles in a style that all will understand. It is her sincere desire that any new believer who gets hold of this book will not be in any doubt as to what the Christian life entails. Ngozi prays that every believer who reads this book will go on to maturity and help others find Christ. Every church, Christian group or organization that is passionate about seeing souls saved and nurtured in the faith should find this book an invaluable tool.
