WHAT IS THE WORK OF THE HOLY SPIRIT?
The way the Holy Spirit is portrayed in many Christian circles, is different to what is revealed in the Bible. Even though, some believe that He is God however, He is treated as some kind of experiential force. Hence, the person and work of the Holy Spirit has been distorted. In this article, I will give a brief biblical overview of the work of the Holy Spirit. Also, I will show how the third Person of God operates within the Godhead. We discover from Scripture that the Holy

SPIRITUAL WARFARE: WHAT DOES THE BIBLE SAY?
Some believe that spiritual warfare is to chant Bible verses repeatedly or to use the name of Jesus as a magic wand. And at the same time engage in direct conversation with the devil. I must confess that I used to have this understanding of spiritual warfare. In truth, these practices are unbiblical at worst dangerous and disobedient towards God. However, the aim of this article, is a call to rethink this important teaching. Furthermore, it is for Christians to return to the

WERE OLD TESTAMENT SAINTS BORN AGAIN BEFORE JESUS CAME?
I once heard a preacher teach his congregation that the law was to be kept perfectly in the Old Testament times. One would think that God encourages absolute external religion in the Old Testament times. But do they have to keep the law perfectly? If that’s the case then no one was saved in the Old Testament times. Furthermore, can God have two ways of saving mankind, or is it just through the Cross of Christ? However, this article will prove that Old Testament saints had to

THE GLORY AND BEAUTY OF PENTECOST
When the day of Pentecost arrived, they were all together in one place. And suddenly there came from heaven a sound like a mighty rushing wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. And divided tongues as of fire appeared to them and rested on each one of them. Acts 2:1-3 ESV Pentecost was a celebration of the first fruits of the Israelites harvest also known as the Festival of Weeks (Deut 16:10). Pentecost was the commemoration of the giving of God’s the l

GENERATIONAL CURSES: BIBLICAL OR MYTH?
Many Christians believe that some sicknesses, short life span and addictions that are common in their family are curses that have been passed down from previous generations to them as curses from God. As a result, they often retire to mystical spiritual practices such as deliverance exercises. However, the question a Christian should ask is this, are generational curses taught in the Bible? The truth is, if they are not revealed in scripture, then it’s a myth. Nevertheless,

THE UNWORTHY CALLED TO A GLORIOUS SERVICE
And when he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, “Put out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.” Luke 5:4 ESV The widely taught idea, of the miraculous catch of fish in Luke 5:1-11, is that if you obey and with some faith, at the word of Jesus, you will experience great success. The question is, is this historical event placed in the Bible to inspire the believer for some kind of financial or personal breakthrough from God? To be precise, is this the main poi

THE GRACE OF GIVING
We want you to know, brothers, about the grace of God that has been given among the churches of Macedonia, for in a severe test of affliction, their abundance of joy and their extreme poverty have overflowed in a wealth of generosity on their part. 2 Corinthians 8:1-2 ESV The pattern for New Testament giving is mainly covered in 2 Corinthians 8-9. The Corinthians whom Paul was writing to were prosperous but they needed to grow in the grace of giving. He challenged the Corinth
