Download or read book The Restoration of God s Dwelling and Kingdom written by Peter Nyende and published by Langham Publishing. This book was released on 2023-03-31 with total page 371 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The church in Africa is thriving, both numerically and in its boldness and fervour. Yet the challenge of African folk Christianity – a Christianity shaped more by traditional beliefs than the Bible – continues to loom large, and there remains an acute need for life and faith to be biblically informed. In this introduction to biblical theology, Prof. Peter Nyende draws from nearly two decades of experience teaching the next generation of African church leaders. Maintaining the vital importance of a holistic understanding of Scripture and its unified nature, he presents the central story of both Old and New Testaments as the restoration of God’s dwelling and kingdom in the world. He traces this narrative through its many stages of development — creation and fall, God’s covenants with Israel, exile — to its ultimate fulfilment in Jesus, the church and the new Jerusalem. Though written with pastors and theological students in mind, this book is accessible to any who desire to increase their biblical literacy and partner more fully with the work of God and his kingdom.

Download or read book Strange Kingdom written by Ken Costa and published by HarperChristian + ORM. This book was released on 2018-03-06 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Experience how the power of the cross unleashes meaning and purpose in the midst of your daily life. This meditative and spiritual reflection by Ken Costa considers the cross and the king who died upon it. Christ’s work on the cross established a kingdom that is strange indeed, if a king died on the cross in order to establish it. It is a kingdom where suffering and abandonment are transformed into the power of presence and live, a kingdom where a King exchanges gifts of great value for worthless dross, where a robber becomes righteous, and a criminal becomes the first citizen of heaven. Spend some time as Easter draws near considering the strange, upside-down kingdom, where broken things are made whole. “A king who dies on the cross must be the king of a rather strange kingdom.” —Dietrich Bonhoeffer "Strange Kingdom is a joy. In my 47 years in the Christian publishing business, Ken Costa’s compelling and inspirational reflections are unique on the meaning and purpose of the cross of Christ. A must-read for every Christian and a revelation for the spiritually curious.”—Joey Paul, Senior Editor, HarperCollins Christian Publishing, Nashville, TN “Ken Costa masterfully and meticulously gives us an in-depth look at the cross of Jesus and what it means to us in our everyday lives.” —Robert Morris, Senior Pastor, Gateway Church, Southlake, TX “Ken Costa’s deep love for God and unashamed defense of the cross of Jesus Christ is mirrored in this book. The perspective of a banker, the mind of a scholar, and the heart of a Christian who wants people to love Christ radiates on every page.” —R. T. Kendall, author and former minister of Westminster Chapel, England “. . . a fresh revelation of Christ and the power of the cross.”—Joseph Prince, Senior Pastor, New Creation Church, Singapore “Not since John Stott’s The Cross of Christ have I read a book on the saving work of Jesus that I want to return to again and again as much as this one.” —Miles Toulmin, Vicar, HTBB, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia “This book will encourage your faith and deepen your understanding of what the cross means to people in their day-to-day lives.” —Jentezen Franklin, Senior Pastor, Free Chapel, Gainesville, GA “His honesty opens a window onto the meaning of the cross and the upside-down world it invites us in.” —Justin Welby, Archbishop of Canterbury, England

Download or read book God s Kingdom Woman written by Jacqueline L. Johnson and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2008-07-17 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a difference between being a God’s Kingdom woman and a woman of God. Isaiah 6:8–9: The call of God One of the tasks of the Holy Spirit is to call godly leaders in the kingdom. All men and women are "called" to God (Rom. 8:28, 30) yet only a few respond (Matt. 7:13, 14; 22:14; John 15:16). Leaders, however, experience a different kind of call and are called in different ways. • Many are called sovereignly. Moses was singled out by God who spoke to him from a burning bush (Ex. 3:1–4, 17). The child Samuel was called while he was asleep (1 Sam. 3:1–18). Young Isaiah was worshiping in the temple when called by God (Isa. 6:1–9). • Others are called through men. Samuel went to David and anointed him with oil (1 Sam. 16:1–13). Paul instructed Titus to appoint elders in the churches of Crete (Titus 1:5). There is a difference between being a "man/woman of God"—as all are called to be, and being "God ́s man/woman"—one called to leadership (Matt. 16:13–20). So let’s make this personal; then God said, “Let Us make _________________ (put your name in there), in Our (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) image, according to Our likeness (Gen. 1:26).” She will seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to her (Matt. 6:33). She shall love the Lord her God with all her heart, with all her soul, and with all her strength (Deut. 6:5). Therefore, she will pray, “Our Father in heaven hallowed be Your name, Your kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven (Matt. 6:9–10).” She will go through her daily activities teaching and preaching the good news of the kingdom and healing every disease and sickness (Matt. 9:35). Because she seek My kingdom, the knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven will be given to her (Matt. 13:11). I will give her the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever she bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever she loose on earth will be loosed in heaven (Matt.16:19). I am sending her to preach the kingdom of God and heal the sick (Luke 9:2). Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has been pleased to give you the kingdom (Luke 12:32). “Wow, you see how much love and thought went in to your creation?” When God says,"Let Us make man in Our image," He is not talking about a physical likeness, but a personal and spiritual likeness. He is not talking about our physical feature such as the size of our nose, the shape of our head, or our skin color. Man has intellect, emotions, and will. We are a creative being. These are some characteristics of God that are shared by man. We, are not reaching our full potential because we have not realized Whose DNA we have. Therefore, we have unresolved issues that may have started from in the womb. God’s Kingdom Woman takes you back to the Garden of Eden to get your healing. You will realize that it does not matter your entrance into this world but, only that you fulfill the mandate of Christ, which is to establish His kingdom on earth. As it is in heaven so shall it be on earth. Sis, if you are reading this book, God is calling you to complete your assignment as a God’s Kingdom Woman. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you." (Matt. 6:33) What is the kingdom of God? Now when He was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, He answered them and said, “The kingdom of God does not come with observation; nor will they say, see here! Or see there! For indeed, the kingdom of God is within you (Luke 17:20–21).” The kingdom of God is the spiritual reality and the dynamics available to each person who receives Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. To receive Him—the King—is to receive His kingly rule, not only in your life and over your affairs, but through your life and by your service and love. “The kingdom of God is within you,” Jesus said. A woman of God operates mostly from the outside

Download or read book The Kingdom of Heaven written by W. M. Seckinger and published by Covenant Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2023-03-20 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The kingdom of heaven--what is it exactly? Only one book in the Bible uses this terminology: the gospel of Matthew, and it presents it thirty-three times in just twenty-eight chapters. Though the kingdom of God appears as well in the work, it appears separate from the kingdom of heaven, and in full alignment with the seven kingdom types of Scripture. In substance, this kingdom relates to the literal reign of Christ on earth. But Matthew uses it more to refer to the time just before it is set up on earth. He uses it more to speak of conditions that are to exist at the end of the tribulation prior to the kingdom age. This makes his presentation unique and unlike any other. In its prime position, which is first and foremost in the order of the gospels and first and foremost in the order of the New Testament, this gospel lays the groundwork for all that comes after it and is said by others. Written from a disciple's perspective, it reveals the inner workings of Jesus's ministry on earth, going beyond the teachings and miracles to give the purpose behind these things and explain what was going on behind the scenes, showing that, more than Christ, Jesus was the Savior of the world and a "King." The title "King of kings and Lord of lords," from the last book of the Bible, resonates with the account. The gospel follows a theme from beginning to end. Every part contributes to the whole. The textual arrangement of prophetic precision brings everything together. And though written to Jews of the first century, shortly after the time of Jesus's ascension, grasped today, these timeless truths compel one to live the Christian life on a higher plane.
