Download or read book Faith Growth and Success written by Thami J. Khalil and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2016-04-08 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many, including believers, confine faith and religion practice to rituals and actions focused on the hereafter. By doing this, they may overlook the fact that the growth and success of Islam in particular could not go through centuries, cultures changes, without using leadership and management principles embedded in its teachings. Surats of Coran, Hadiths of the Prophet Mohamed (saas), and bibliographies of early leaders of Islam are full of concepts such as time management, quality management, people management, message design, excellence in execution, etc. The cultural distance between these centuries old concepts and modern management and leadership approaches is much smaller than one may imagine. These concepts and examples of their effective applications are available in open sources, accessible to everybody from all ages. Similar concepts are nowadays taught in Master of Business Administration or in expensive corporate management courses. This makes the distance from success and growth very small for those who recognise these concepts as early as possible in the practice of their faith and religion and apply them in their daily lives. Thami J. Khalil unfolds the power of some Islamic leadership and management concepts, and directs his readers toward their importance as key factors for personal success and growth.

Download or read book Liberating Ministry from the Success Syndrome written by R. Kent Hughes and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2008-01-07 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every year thousands of God's servants leave the ministry convinced they are failures. Years ago, in the midst of a crisis of faith, Kent Hughes almost became one of them. But instead he and his wife Barbara turned to God's Word, determined to learn what God had to say about success and to evaluate their ministry from a biblical point of view. This book describes their journey and their liberation from the "success syndrome"-the misguided belief that success in ministry means increased numbers. In today's world it is easy to be seduced by the secular thinking that places a number on everything. But the authors teach that true success in ministry lies not in numbers but in several key areas: faithfulness, serving, loving, believing, prayer, holiness, and a Christlike attitude. Their thoughts will encourage readers who grapple with feelings of failure and lead them to a deeper, fuller understanding of success in Christian ministry. This book was originally published by Tyndale in 1987 and includes a new preface.

Download or read book Success and the Christian written by A. W. Tozer and published by Moody Publishers. This book was released on 2006-11-30 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Success and the Christian is a compilation of A.W. Tozer sermons on the subject matter of spiritual maturity—both its cost and criteria for the believer. The overall purpose of this collection is to "promote the personal heart religion"' among God's people, something Tozer consistently emphasized. Knowing God deeply and intimately brings purpose and meaning to life and should be the Christian's highest goal. So what holds us back from authentic spiritual success? A.W. Tozer contends that it is the excess baggage that most Christians carry that prevents them from going further with God. In this insightful and prophetic book, Tozer shows how we can recognize and clear away the stumbling blocks that keep us from a dynamic relationship with our Savior.

Download or read book Being Established in the Faith written by Chukie Morsi and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2019-10-16 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To be established in the faith is foundational and fundamental to the Christian spiritual walk in Christ Jesus. Romans 1:11-12 "For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift, to the end ye may be established; That is, that I may be comforted together with you by the mutual faith both of you and me" Acts 16:5 "And so were the churches established in the faith, and increased in number daily" Our ability to being established in the faith is in the Holy Spirit who enables us to be obedient to the faith as well as to communicate the faith. Being obedient to the faith helps to live a fulfilling Christian life and to enjoy the goodness of the faith; while communicating the faith is how you would deal with life issues to advance the kingdom causes of God and to keep the enemy at bay. This book is set out in a didactic way to teach through the use of the Word of God, how as children of God, we can thrive and be victorious in our day to day lives. When you are established in the faith, you are able to have and to take a stand against erroneous winds of doctrine as well as traditions and creations of man. When you are rooted in the faith of Jesus Christ, you live with heightened spiritual sensitivity and are led at all times and in all things by the Holy Spirit. Carnal senses take a back seat. A man's ignorance is his own mountain; but the knowledge and understanding of the truth which is based on the living Word of God; birthed and breathed by the Holy Spirit, will deliver, direct and prosper to give your life meaningful success with fulfillment. Matthew 22:29 "Jesus answered and said to them, "You are mistaken, not knowing the scriptures nor the power of God”

Download or read book The Principles God Respects written by Rev. Prayer Kenneth Obadoni and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2014-06-25 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Principles God Respects: Living by Faith is the Key to Success "And without faith it is impossible to please God because anyone who comes to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek Him" (Hebrews 11:6 NIV). Whether you are a young believer or have walked with the Lord for years, God expects you to walk in faith-that is, to walk according to the principles God sets forth in Hebrews 11:6. The important idea to remember here is to believe God exists and to keep Him foremost in your mind and actions. He cares for you, but at the same time, unless you exercise faith (trust and confidence) in Him and His Word, your Christian life will not prosper as it should. Although there are many ways you can live for the Lord and serve Him, unless you perform these acts by faith, they won't count for much in your Christian life. In fact, Hebrews 11:6 spells out what God requires of us: that is, to live and walk by faith. The great reformer, Martin Luther, discovered this truth back in 1517 when God showed him how to obtain peace with God. Luther was a Catholic monk who spent hours on his knees trying to find forgiveness for his sins. Then, the Lord revealed Romans 1:17 to him: "The just shall live by faith." From that moment on, Luther knew his sins were forgiven and he had peace with God.

Download or read book ASPIRE TO GROW written by Wuan D. Miller and published by ThinkWrite Books. This book was released on 2020-12-15 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are you struggling to live a mature Christian life? You don't have to. All you need is a step in the right direction. What step? Intentionality! Why intentionality? While spiritual growth should be the goal of daily Christian living, it is not automatic. Unless the believer is intentional, what one learns from reading the Bible will never manifest on its own. The Lord can inspire one to action, yet it is up to the believer to ASPIRE, or move toward, the call of the Lord. The greater the aspiration, the greater the spiritual growth. The question is, how does one get started? ASPIRE to Grow is a deep dive into biblical disciplines that can transform any life into the one God has intended. In this work, Wuan D. Miller shows Christians how spiritual growth is possible through a modern treatment of nine, timeless biblical practices: · Connect to Draw · Consecrate to Align · Commit to Launch · Share to Grow · Serve to Receive · Sow to Send · Rest to Rejuvenate · Reflect to Reposition · Renew to Enrich Drawing from the model of Jesus, devotional scriptures, ideas for daily application, and questions to ponder, Miller unpacks the richness of these disciplines in the Word of God in a way that is relevant for today, while systematically condensing them into a simple 3-pillar model for living it out: · Worship · Witness · Withdraw Wherever you are in your study of the Word, ability to witness to others, or private devotion, ASPIRE can help one go to the next level. Anyone who wants to move from wherever they are right now to where God has intended them to be should read ASPIRE TO GROW.

Download or read book Truth Plus Love written by Matt Brown and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2019-04-23 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Imagine what our world might look like if Christians became known for remarkable love, as well as life-giving truth. The stakes are high and the need is great for Christians to represent Jesus to a watching world. And today, we have more influence than ever before--for better and for worse. We are among the first generations to have access to a global megaphone through social media. But it's not enough to speak truth louder to a noisy culture. To counter the reputation Christians have earned, our love must be just as loud. Ask evangelist Matt Brown, and he will tell you Christians today are facing a crisis of influence. In our rush to speak truth to today's tensions, cultural issues, and trending controversies, it becomes all too easy to focus on proving our points rather than extending God's grace. Conversely, when we seek only to love yet never proclaim a better way, we short-circuit God's plan. Truth Plus Love invites you to rediscover the biblical framework for engaging culture as ambassadors of Christ. Through biblical insight, cultural analysis, and practical principles, Matt Brown outlines how to champion truth without compromise, how to love unconditionally, and ultimately, how to step into this great adventure of representing God to the world. It's hard, it's messy, and it's the unfinished project of a lifetime, yet here we find our great adventure: representing God to a watching world.
