Book excerpt: Scripture reveals a God who meets us where we are, not where we pretend to be. No More Faking Fine is your invitation to get honest with God through the life-giving language of lament. If you've ever been given empty clichés during challenging times, you know how painful it is to be misunderstood by well-meaning people. When life hurts, we often feel pressure--from others and ourselves--to keep it together, suck it up, or pray it away. But Scripture reveals a God who lovingly invites us to give honest voice to our emotions when life hits hard. For most of her life, Esther Fleece Allen believed she could bypass the painful emotions of her broken past by shutting them down altogether. She was known as an achiever and an overcomer on the fast track to success. But in silencing her pain, she robbed herself of the opportunity to be healed. Maybe you've done the same. Esther's journey into healing began when she discovered that God has given us a real-world way to deal with raw emotions and an alternative to the coping mechanisms that end up causing more pain. It's called lament--the gut-level, honest prayer that God never ignores, never silences, and never wastes. No More Faking Fine is your permission to lament, taking you on a journey down the unexpected pathway to true intimacy with God. Drawing from careful biblical study and hard-won insight, Esther reveals how to use God's own language to come closer to him as he leads us through our pain to the light on the other side, teaching you that: We are robbing ourselves of a divine mystery and a divine intimacy when we pretend to have it all together God does not expect us to be perfect; instead, he meets us where we are There is hope beyond your heartache, disappointment, and grief Like Esther, you'll soon find that when one person stops faking fine, it gives everyone else permission to do the same.
Download or read book How to Fulfil Divine Purpose written by MKO Oyeneye and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2019-06-24 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A study by an American University once revealed that 97 percent of the world’s population have no goal and work for the 3 percent who have. This is a great tragedy; that 97 percent of people in all walks of life wake up each day, drudge through life, and go back to sleep for a lifetime without knowing why they came to earth. The sad thing is that among these daydreamers are great men and women originally destined by their Maker to be movers and shakers of our planet. The only reason they are wandering in the desert of life is because they have not found their true north. We all know that man is created in the image and likeness of God, which means that what is possible with God is possible with man. When put to the test, human beings have been known to perform mighty feats. Scientists call it hysterical strength, and there have been many reported stories of this happening, where an individual exercises superhuman strength in a time of great need. A famous case of this happened in 1960. Angela Carvallo’s son was trapped under a car, and upon waiting for help, she took the rescue into her own hands and lifted the car off him, allowing him to crawl out of harm’s way. In this insightful book, Pastor MKO argues that you do not have to settle for mediocrity and anonymity. You are capable of achieving the highest possible dream for which your Maker created you. All you need to do is find your true place on earth, and you will rock the universe! How to Fulfil Your Divine Purpose is a life-changing book that must be read by anyone who is going somewhere.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You need to discover your assignment in life or you die in an asylum. - David Oyedepo There is more to life than having educational qualifications, working in a multinational company, getting married and having children, building mansions and having the latest cars. There is more to life than heaping up money in the bank and having all manner of chieftaincy titles. Having all of these things is not what gives us meaning in life; they are just part of what God designed for us to have on earth. But to have meaning in life is to discover God's purpose for creating us; to locate the reason why we were sent to this world. Nothing can be compared with God's purpose discovered and pursued by His creature. We are all products of divine purpose and until that purpose is discovered and pursued, there can not be any meaningful existence on earth. God created all things; man, animal, plant and other things to add value to life. But value is provoked and released within the context of the purpose for which God created us. God's perspective of success is directly opposite the world's definition of success. For instance, the world sees a successful man as one that has money in multimillion or multibillion; houses, cars, plenty of children, political position, chieftaincy title etc. That may be true to some level only if the man is living within the context of God's purpose for his life; because God's definition of success, which is the most authentic definition is for a man to live his life according to God's purpose for him with or without all those things mentioned above. Luke 12:15; As a student of life issues, I have seen multibillionaires who rather than add value have contributed to a lot of evils in the world with the money they have. This is because material and financial possessions not utilized in line with divine purpose become sources of crisis in the world. We have heard of civil and political wars in recent times in different nations of the world as a result of selfish ambitions of political leaders who have turned governance to an institution for amassing wealth for selfish interests. If these people had chosen to discover and pursue divine purpose even as political leaders, they would have added great value to life instead of becoming perpetrators of evil in their nations leading to the death of thousands of their own citizens. This book is the outcome of the discovery of God's purpose for my life after years of intense study and search for meaning in life. When I found it, I determined not to die with God's purpose unfulfilled and His potentials in me unreleased. I decided that I will not add to the wealth in the cemetery of the world. I chose to make my own contributions to life by a tireless pursuit of His purpose for me as I help others in discovering what heaven has deposited in them before the foundation of the world. You are very important to God's agenda as a blessing to your generation. Destinies of born and unborn children are tied to the discovery of your own divinely ordained purpose. I believe that your name and your space will not be empty in the museum of great achievers in the world.
Download or read book What the Bible Actually Teaches on Women written by Kevin Giles and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2018-10-19 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kevin Giles has been writing on women in the Bible for over forty years. In this book, What the Bible Actually Teaches on Women, he gives the most comprehensive account to date of the competing conclusions to this question and the issues surrounding it. To understand the bitter and divisive debate among evangelicals over the status and ministry of women, it needs to be understood that those who since 1990 have called themselves "complementarians" argue that in creation before the fall God set the man over the woman. Thus, the leadership of the man and the subordination of the woman in the home, the church, and wherever possible in the world (the whole creation) is the God-given ideal that is pleasing to God. It is this "theology" that Kevin Giles deconstructs and shows to be without a biblical foundation. Giles shows that he is fully conversant with the complementarian position and yet is unpersuaded by it. He sees it as an appeal to the Bible to preserve male privilege, similar to the appeals to the Bible to validate slavery and Apartheid; appeals to the Bible made by some of the best Reformed and evangelical biblical scholars, and now seen to be special pleading. Carefully studying the limited number of texts on which complementarians predicate their theology of the sexes, Giles finds not one of them actually teaches what complementarians claim. Furthermore, complementarians too often ignore the texts that are very difficult for them. In this book the ordination of women gets only passing mention. The constant focus is on whether or not the Bible subordinates women to men as an abiding theological principle.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: God is to be found in the simplest of our daily activities and especially through total surrender to whatever is His will for each of us. That is the message of this 18th-century inspirational classic by Jean-Pierre de Caussade. Its encouragement to ""live in the present moment,"" accepting everyday obstacles with faith, humility and love, has guided generations of believers to holiness and spiritual peace. This special volume of the famous spiritual treatise also includes the many insightful letters of Father de Caussade on the practice of self-abandonment. These numerous letters provide a great additional source of wisdom and practical guidance for how to grow in abandonment and to deepen our union with God in our daily lives. De Caussade shows that this practice of self-abandonment to God's will is the key to attaining true peace and virtue, and that it is readily available to all people - from beginners to those well advanced in the spiritual life. He also shows how to determine what God's will is for us. He reveals that it is not extraordinary feats that God expects for our growth in holiness, but rather heroic attention to every detail in our lives and humble acceptance of our daily lot in life as coming from His hand. The rich spiritual lessons in this book have stood the test of time, offering real and practical assistance to all people because its message is simple and clear, one that the reader will find to be a rare treasure of inspiration and direction to be referred to again and again.
