Download or read book We Travel an Appointed Way written by A. W. Tozer and published by Moody Publishers. This book was released on 2010-08-02 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The difference is humility... In this compilation of 39 editorials from A.W. Tozer, readers will enjoy eloquent distillations of the Reformation faith. Knowing God deeply and intimately brings purpose and meaning to life and should be the Christian's highest goal, and these essays will help that endeavor. To the child of God, there is no such thing as accident. “We travel an appointed way,” says Tozer. The paths we tread were chosen for us when as yet we were not, when as yet we only existed in God’s mind. Our way is ordered by the secret script of God's hidden providence, and true faith displaces any possibility for chance or misfortune. Tozer tells us that we are full of life filled with providences and plans laid out from above. He urges us not to think we are simply God's pawns, for that is the attitude of the unbeliever, whereas the true follower of Christ will know that he is one of God's beloved! The difference is humility.

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 85 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.

This is the second set of messages given to the church in Rixheim (France), during a spiritual retreat that took place there in July 1989. The believer must work out his salvation by - fixing his thoughts on things above, - cooperating with the Lord through prayer, and - developing a positive attitude in the face of life's circumstances.

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.

This book is about the basic lessons for any believer who wants to grow in his walk with the Lord, to be all that the Lord wants him to be, in order to rise beyond the limitations generally brought about by mediocrity.
