Gideon is an example of a person who was not prepared for the call of God. He was from a poor tribe of Manasseh (2), and he felt that God was a god of yesterday. He remembered how God delivered the children of Israel out of Egypt, yet he really...

The anointing with oil is a divine prescription for unity in the body of Christ. In Exodus 29 and 30, the oil was so unique and so very special in its ingredients that it healed as it spread over Aaron’s robe. When we study this principle, we learn that there...

Another factor which prevents unity in the body of Christ is natural preference which includes every desire that originates outside of the Word of God (1). This limits a person’s vision for God, and causes him to privately interpret the Word of God in order to complement the desires of...

Constantly, Satan does everything in his power to divide the unity of the members of the body of Christ. First, he tries to divide the believer’s heart (2). Then, he tries to divide the mind. He knows that if a man has two masters or is double-minded, he will be...

“I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I, the Lord, which call thee by name, am the God of Israel” (Isaiah 45:3). A woman’s husband left her after many years of marriage. She and her children were brokenhearted....

Unfortunately, most people do not understand why they cannot properly evaluate anything from their own human resources. God has a creative provision for every detail of life. It is His method of approaching sinners. Luke 19:1-10 is a beautiful illustration of this principle. Jesus passed by the sycamore tree. Notice...
