This collection of forty short inspirational devotionals by the author provides thought-provoking reflections on what made Jesus tick. It answers two important questions:What was Jesus' worldview and how did it shape His ministry?In what ways can we share the eternal truths that motivated and directed Him and how will they affect our everyday Christian lives?The goal of Christian spiritual discipleship is transformation into Christlike maturity. For us to live more like Jesus, we must start from the inside and work outwards. That means examining the life of Jesus in the Bible to see how His divinity and humanity interacted and how He thought. The author filters out aspects of our individual personalities that will and should always remain, and Jesus' pure divinity, which we can never share. What's left are ways in which we can become more like Jesus. From His incarnation to His crucifixion and ascension Jesus is presented as the Son of God. His faith in that fact and His relationship with the Father inspired everything He did and spoke. This book is not primarily about how to be like Jesus. Rather, it reflects on who He is. But don't miss a key point-contemplating and imitating the inner life of the Who is the how. Each piece can be used for daily reading, meditation, and reflection. Most of the pieces are just two pages long and focus on New Testament Scriptures from the Gospel accounts and the Acts of the Apostles. They provide a thought-provoking commentary on Jesus' worldview, teachings, miracles, parables, ministry, and what He taught His disciples.This book can also be used as a pastoral resource for teaching ministry and discipleship in churches as well as for personal spiritual growth in the Christian life. The author assumes that being like Jesus in the way we listen to God in prayer, dodge the world's distractions, resist Satan, and make disciples results in confidence and fruitfulness in His kingdom work. We will only escape the impotence and irrelevance of superficial religion to the extent that we make Christlikeness our goal.

"Freedom" is at the heart of the life and messageof Jesus Christ and the mission of His followers.Jesus said, "If you abide in My Word, and My Word abides in you, then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free. . . if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed" (John 8:32). That is what this book is all about: to help you identify where, why, and how you live in bondages and slavery instead of in freedom and hope.Foundations of Freedom is a five-session experience of the larger Living Set Free in Christ course (which is 12 one-hour sessions), and is suitable for use in workshops, small-groups, and one-on-one discipleship settings, as well as for personal devotional use. It provides a primer on starting on a path to freedom in Jesus Christ, equipping you with the biblical truth you need in your pursuit of living the abundant life Jesus promised for His disciples (John 10:10), including:· Understanding God's original design for Creation and for you· Recognizing the two-realm nature of our world· Learning how to use the power and authority that are yours in Christ· Being aware of how strongholds are built in your life, and how to tear them down· Continuing on in a life of freedom with an undivided heart for GodYou'll also discover how to use the divinely powerful weapons God has given you to break free-and live free-of the obstacles that hold you back from experiencing abundant life. In this book, you'll learn and apply the "4R" prayer model to stronghold issues in your life like insignificance, fear, passivity, "open doors" and injustices from your past, and unforgiveness.Through Christ's power and authority, you can break out of those bondages to live in the freedom Jesus purchased for you!

L'auteur Z.T. Fomum est convaincu que la croix est au centre de la vie et du ministère du croyant.

En effet, l'auteur avoue : ''...j'ai senti que j'avais la responsabilité devant le Seigneur et devant son peuple, de dire tout ce j'avais sur le c¿ur...''Ce livre est essentiel et peut faire entrer un croyant dans son héritage en Jésus Christ

In an increasingly broken world filled with hate and violence, God's plan from the beginning was to save and restore the world to the glory for which he had created it. This simple plan has not changed with the evolution of sin, time, or man's rejection of his creator. Rather, God's simple twofold plan of redemption included both a commandment to love the creator with all one's heart, mind, soul, and strength, and a commandment to love one's neighbor as one's self. Neither commandment stands in isolation, for one cannot fully love others without a consuming love for God, and neither can one completely love God without a love for the neighbor created by God. The answer to hate is love; the answer to war is love; the answer to violence is love; and the answer to all of societal disfunction is love. The answer is not a commandment to like God and others, because one only likes others because of likeness. Rather, love is a choice. A choice to love what you don't like. A choice to love what you don't understand. A choice to love until the God you love sets everything right in eternity.

It is painfully obvious that we are living in an era of great apostasy, and there is considerable evidence that it is about to get much darker. How many of us are truly ready for this? How many of us are desperately clinging to our relationship with God and to His Word? In this engaging and inspirational account, you will uncover powerful Biblical truths often discovered through tragedy, and ultimately through obedience, as God turns the curse into a blessing and transforms the despairing into a truly surrendered disciple. We all need to surrender. We all need to go deeper. We all need God's Word and His truth spoken into our lives. We are at a critical point in history as the Bride of Christ. God is calling His remnant "out of her," that ancient and worldly system which plagues our lives today. The end of all things is at hand, and this message is for all of God's children.

The thoughts you have when you're depressed come from the devil. And the good news for you is that the devil is a liar.Do you feel weighed down all the time? Perhaps, although you are a Christian and know you're going to heaven, your spiritual life seems mediocre at best.

"And you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free" (John 8:32).
