    The Secret Of Spiritual Power

    Contributed by Pastor Renji George on Apr 3, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 643 views

    Christians today are encouraged to seek more power, more anointing, and more gifts. Indeed, as the Lord calls us back to the Cross to become disciples of Jesus, He intends to first humble us before empowering us.

    The basic need of a disciple of Jesus Christ is not seeking for more power from God, but more brokenness. Apostle Paul says in 2 Corinthians 12:9-10 “Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in ...read more

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 4, 2021
     | 2,878 views

    Boasting or bragging is excluded because it elevates you to the pinnacle of importance. It’s sad to say this, but religion is a great place to do just this – to brag about one’s morality

    “For consider your calling, brothers: not many of you were wise according to worldly standards, not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth. 27 But God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong; 28 God chose what is low ...read more

    If salvation were earned by good works, heaven would be full of people boasting about what they did. But heaven is filled with people praising what Jesus did.

    Contributed by C. Philip Green on Dec 19, 2025
     | 208 views

    When you know you’re going to have a bad day, affirm God’s justice; affirm God’s authority; and affirm God’s mercy. It will help you get through the day.

    According to a recent survey, the average American knows their day is going to be bad by 8:36 a.m. in the morning. For example, they say, “You know you’re going to have a bad day if you wake up feeling sick (35%), if you suffer from poor sleep (31%), or if you start the day with a headache (29%).” ...read more

    Some receive love, but reject it; others never know that they are loved. In either case, the Cross is evidence that we have never been unloved.

    We need to think not only about the way we relate to other people, but also about how we receive them. It is not enough simply to be friendly and cordial. We also need to look at how we receive people when they extend themselves to us. I went to a meeting this week, where all the ...read more
