Dear saints, let us pray that the trainees would be transformed in their character to be useful to the Lord in His service (Rom. 12:2; 2 Tim. 2:15, 21; 4:11; Philem. 1:11). We must receive some amount of transformation in what we are in our character. Humanly speaking, our character may have been very much […]
Serving God by Burning in Spirit with the Fire of God’s Life, not with Strange Fire
December 17, 2015 by 1 Comment
As believers in Christ, we should live according to the principle of the tree of life, that is, we should depend on the Lord. In God’s eyes the greatest sin is independence; doing things for God or in God’s name yet without God’s living presence is declaring independence from God, and God does not appreciate […]
