    A Glorious Ministry For Every Believer
    Glorious Ministry For Every Believer By Zac Poonen Melchizedek appears in only three verses in the entire Bible and yet our Lord is called a High Priest after his name (Genesis 14:18-20)! What did Melchizedek do that was so wonderful?  Abraham was returning from a battle where he had just defeated 14 kings and their armies and rescued his nephew Lot and his family, whom...

    Be A Good Example For Others By Zac Poonen When Paul called the elders of the church in Ephesus to bid farewell to them, notice what he told them in Acts 20:17-35. He reminded them that he had been with them for three years (Acts 20: 31) and that he had preached to them...

    A Wonderful Example of A True Prophet
    Prophet Elijah By Zac Poonen In 1 Kings Chapter 17 the first thing I want you to notice about Elijah are his words to King Ahab: “As the Lord, the God of Israel, lives, before whom I stand”.  These true prophets did not fear kings because of one reason : They stood before the Lord. Kings were mere specks of dust before God. The great need is for young men who can...

    Believe in God’s Wisdom and God’s Love
    It's Forbidden By Zac Poonen God had great plans in mind for Adam and Eve, when He created them. But these plans could not be fulfilled apart from their being tested. And so He placed in Eden an attractive tree with luscious fruit called the tree of knowledge of good and evil. And He forbade Adam and Eve from eating of it. The failure of Adam and Eve in Eden was primarily...

    Self Centredness Leads To Spiritual Death
    By Zac Poonen We can never enjoy deliverance from our self-life before we see something of its total corruption. Let us look at the elder son (in the parable in Luke 15), for he illustrates, perhaps better than anyone else in the Bible, the utter rottenness of the self-life.  The younger son in the parable is usually considered the worse of the two boys. But as we look...

    Encouragement And Admonition Are Two Of The Chief Ministries Of The Holy Spirit
    Consider the following commands in the Bible: “Warn (admonish, urge and encourage) one another every day…..that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin….(Heb. 3:13;  Amplified Bible). “Not forsaking or neglecting to assemble together (as believers) as is the habit of some people, but admonishing – warning, urging and encouraging...

    The Secret of Living A Godly Life
    By Zac Poonen Under the old covenant, people were exhorted to meditate on “the LAW of the Lord” (Psa.1:2). But under the new covenant, we are exhorted to meditate on “the GLORY of the Lord” (2 Cor. 3:18).  If we look only at the letter of God’s Word, we will become Pharisees, and we will build a church of Pharisees.  But if we look at the...

    Three Challenging And Comforting Thoughts
    By Zac Poonen 1. God delights in honest people “If we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another” (1 Jn.1:9).  To walk in the light means first of all that we hide nothing from God. We tell Him everything, exactly as it is. I am convinced that the first step towards God is honesty. God detests those who are insincere. Jesus...

    All Of God’s Commandments Are For Our Good
    By Zac Poonen God has always required obedience from man. Under the old covenant, the Israelites were given commandments to obey.But they discovered that they could not keep God’s laws perfectly. Under the new covenant, God promises to write His laws in our hearts and minds so that we will not only obey Him but love to obey Him. God’s promise is: “I will put My Spirit...

    The Sufferings of Christ
    By Zac Poonen What did Paul mean when he said, “In my flesh I do my share on behalf of His body, which is the church, in filling up what is lacking in Christ’s afflictions” (Col.1:24)? Was there anything lacking in Christ’s sufferings? Certainly not. He cried, “It is finished” on the cross. What then did Paul mean by saying that he had to complete what...
