Many claim to be “Christians,” but true, dedicated “disciples” are rare. Yet this is the most used title for believers in the New Testament. Jesus did not say, “Go and make believers of all nations.” He said, “Make disciples…
Two types of people occupy this world: vessels of mercy and vessels of wrath. A vessel is an object purposefully created to be filled with some kind of substance. God has mercifully created us to be “filled”—with His presenc…
God promises to “divide the spoil with the strong” in Isaiah 53:12. Four sources of strength make God’s people invincible, unconquerable, and everlastingly victorious. No wonder Scripture commands, “Let the weak say, I AM ST…
An ambassador is a representative, a messenger sent on a specific mission, one who speaks, not his own mind, but the mind and will of those who are represented. God pleads through His ambassadors for erring sinners to be rec…
God’s people are “the blessed of the Father.” Jesus became a curse, that the blessing of God might pass to His people. Now we are “blessed with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ.” (Eph. 1:3) It’s time to c…
No one can share GOD’S GLORY! Right? No, that’s wrong! God’s people are referred to as PARTAKERS OF THE GLORY and THE HOUSE OF HIS GLORY! Before He went to the cross, Jesus even prayed, “Father, the glory you gave Me, I have…
God’s people are called “children of the prophets” in Acts 3:25. We exist spiritually because of the prophetic utterances that have shaped our lives, from prophets of ancient days and from the greatest “Prophet” of all: the …
God calls His people to speak as “oracles of God” (1 Pt. 4:11). In other words, we are to speak as if God is speaking through us—words of truth, words of faith, words of love, words that are powerfully anointed of His Spirit…
This name for God’s people speaks of immovable commitment TO THE TRUTH and an inspiring witness OF THE TRUTH, lifted high above a world full of deception, memorializing the One who said, “I AM THE TRUTH!” God’s work in this …
Knowing the mysteries of the kingdom of God is a gift from above. Those receiving spiritual rebirth are translated into God’s kingdom and daily participate in the process of establishing it as the dominant influence in this …
Born again believers inherit God’s kingdom. The attributes of the King of kings are transferred to his royal heirs—His love, joy, power, wisdom, grace, and so much more. No wonder He told us to pray, “Your kingdom come, Your…
To be “the head” means to occupy a position of victory, supremacy, and authority over all the challenges you face in life. In Deuteronomy 28:13 God declares He will make His people “the head and not the tail.” This revelatio…
"A ringleader of THE SECT OF THE NAZARENES”—it was intended as mockery, an accusation identifying Paul with the crucified One and the “low-life people” who followed Him. Yet, the mystery unveiled by this name for God’s peopl…
“If anyone is in Christ, he is A NEW CREATION”—the revelation of this promise is incredible! In the New Covenant, God gives His offspring “a new spirit.” From that point forward the “inward man” is “renewed” (made new all ov…
Believers are called "The Church of the Firstborn" in Hebrews 12:23. That means the church in which every member is considered a firstborn son. We are all equally loved by the Father and we have all received a double portion…
Jesus said, “Upon this rock I will build my church and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it.” What did He mean? Why is THE CHURCH the most valuable, important, knowledgeable, stable, authoritative and undefeatable …
Once you receive grace, you’re called to pour it out to other people (even your enemies) and back to God Himself (Amazing!). The Word challenges us to be GOOD STEWARDS OF THE MANIFOLD GRACE OF GOD. Your daily challenge is to…
The last sentence in the Old Testament ends with the word “curse” (Mal. 4:6). On the contrary, the final statement in the New Testament is: “The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.” (Rev. 22:21). Jesus took…
When did you first receive grace? You may be amazed by the answer. What is the most misinterpreted scripture concerning grace? The secular world especially gets it wrong. Why is grace God’s “one-way-or-the-other” plan? The a…
The spectacular GRACE OF GOD - a powerful biblical insight that will dramatically change your life. God calls His people HEIRS OF THE GRACE OF LIFE - and the Greek word is “zoe”: divine life, the life of God, that rescues us…
Jesus, the mighty Redeemer, came to free us from bondage. Through the cross, He redeemed us from enemies that were stronger than us, things we never could have conquered on our own. No wonder Psalms 107:2 says, “Let the rede…
Old Covenant redemption laws amazingly foreshadow how Jesus ushered in the New Covenant. The same Hebrew word is translated “redeemer,” “nearest kinsman” (CEV) and “avenger” of blood (NKJV). How are these related and what’s …
Let the redeemed of the Lord say so! You have been bought back by God, loosed away from bondage, with the purchase price of the blood of Jesus. But to fully enjoy your redemption rights, you must be strong in asserting this …
How can atoms in a water molecule reveal our inheritance in Christ? The bride of Christ is named “A WELL OF LIVING WATERS” in the Song of Solomon—revealing our calling in this world and the world to come! God hides supernatu…
