"The righteous do good and forget about having done it!"
"Sin came into the universe when an angel became proud."
"Man's greatest honour and privilege is to do the will of God."
"If you seek to please men you can never be a servant of the
Lord."
"Anyone who serves the Lord is going to be the target of Satan’s
attacks."
"The more useful we are to God, the more we will be attacked
by the enemy."
"The most important qualification for a servant of God is that
he does not seek his own."
"Sin came through the pride of Lucifer and salvation came through
the humility of Jesus."
"It is one thing to be accepted by God; it is
quite another thing to be APPROVED by God."
"It is possible to miss God's perfect will for
our lives through carelessness or disobedience."
"This is Divine love - a love that is willing to lay down its
life in order to save the one it loves."
"When we receive from God and hold on to what we have received
selfishly, we die spiritually."
"God must be the very first thought and the very last thought
in the life of every disciple of Jesus."
"God can make the very worst things that ever happened in your
life to work for your very best, if you have faith."
"A spiritual leader will first and foremost, have a calling
from God. His work will not be his profession, but his calling."
"Jesus was always against sin and He was
always against fear. He told us to fear only God and no-one else (Matt.10:28)."
"God tests us in the matter of receiving
and giving to see whether we desire to live by the principles of the
world or of His kingdom."
"Let us follow in Jesus’ footsteps. Let
people say whatever evil they want to, about us. If we honour God,
He will one day honour us."
"The righteous do good and forget about
having done it! The unrighteous however, keep a mental record of all

"It is foolish to move into the future on our
own when God is waiting to guide us. His plan is the best. If we yield
to Him, He can save us from Satan's snares."
"Consider the matter of suffering. Why does
a God of love allow us to go through suffering? That's because suffering
is a part of the syllabus in our spiritual education."
"Do you think the devil is impressed by
anyone’s Bible knowledge or degree-certificates? Not at all. Satan
fears only holy, humble men and women who know God."
"Jesus once said that Satan was a thief. Satan
does not steal money, for he knows that money has no eternal value.
He steals only what has eternal value - primarily the souls of men."
"The way that God has laid down for man to be
saved is by repentance and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. That is
the only way. God can never accept a man who tries to climb in any
other way."
"True service for the Lord will bring us
material loss not gain. The profit will only be spiritual. That which
brings material gain, on the other hand, belongs to Babylon and not
to the heavenly Jerusalem."
"In Christianity there is a vertical relationship
with God and there is a horizontal relationship with our fellow-believers.
You can't have one without the other. You can't have fellowship with
God if you're not in fellowship with your fellow- believers."
"The man who has an easy way through life,
will be spiritually weak, flabby and impoverished. He won't be able
to do all that God wants him to do. But the one who has gone through
trials and testing successfully, will be strong and capable of doing
all the will of God."
"God must be the very first thought and the very last thought
in the life of every disciple of Jesus. God must be the centre as
well as the circumference of our lives. We live and move in Him, within
the circle that He has drawn for us. And within that circle we will
always find Him (Acts 17:26,27)."
"Many are called, few are chosen, but fewer still are faithful.
These are the overcomers spoken of ten times in the book of Revelation.
They are disciples of Jesus who have not only been accepted by God
but who have been tested by Him through many circumstances and who
have been approved by Him."
"Man's greatest honour and privilege is
to do the will of God. This was what the Lord Jesus taught His disciples.
He once said that only those who did His Father's will would enter
the kingdom of Heaven (Matt. 7:21). He also said that His true brothers
and sisters were those who did the will of God (Matt. 12:50)."
"God's Word consists of unchangeable facts.
If our faith looks steadfastly at God's Word alone, there is no danger
of our ever falling; and feelings will follow in due course. But if
we begin to look at our feelings, then we can easily tumble and fall
into discouragement and condemnation."
"The kingdom of God is righteousness and
peace (Rom.14:17). True wisdom is never argumentative or quarrelsome.
It does not strive. It maintains harmonious relationships with everyone,
as far as possible. It is impossible to quarrel with a man who is
filled with Divine wisdom, for such a man is a peaceable man."
"The call of God to man, ever since he fell
into sin has been to be an overcomer. God told Cain, "Sin is crouching
at your (heart's) door...but you must master it" (Gen.4:7). In the
last book of the Bible that call is repeated, "He who overcomes shall
inherit these things and I will be his God and he will be My son"
(Rev. 21:7)."
"God is looking for men and women who will never
be content with mere experiences and “blessings," but who will take
up the cross daily and follow Jesus and thus manifest in their lives
and in their service the reality of those words, “It is no longer
I, but Christ that lives in me." This, and this alone is the Spirit-filled
life."
"Nothing on earth can be compared with the
glory of a life lived in fellowship with God and in the fulfillment
of His purposes. The life that Jesus lived on earth was the most wonderful,
the most glorious and the happiest life that any man ever lived. He
wasn't world-famous or rich. But He radiated the glory of God through
His life."
"We don’t have to judge anyone. But we must
be able to discern people. Immediately after Jesus spoke about not
judging others, He told His disciples to be careful to discern the
pigs, the dogs and the false prophets from others (Compare Matt.7:1
with verses 6 and 15). If we don’t have discernment, we’ll certainly
be led astray by the dogs and the false prophets (See Phil.3:2)."
"David Brainerd lived to the age of 29 and
Watchman Nee to the age of 70. The important thing however was that
(as far as we know) each of them completed the task God had assigned
them, before they left this earth. And God sovereignly controlled
all the circumstances of their lives until then, so that no sickness
or accident shortened their lives until their task on earth was done."
"Jesus was the happiest man that ever walked
this earth. Yet He was the One Who suffered the most. His happiness
came out of doing the will of His Father - not by having an easy way
through life. He knew His Father as perfect Love and so He joyfully
submitted to all that the Father sent His way. That was the secret
of His whole life."
"The New Testament urges believers to walk
as Jesus walked, following His example. The guiding principle of Jesus'
entire life and ministry was to do the will of His Father. He never
moved until His Father told Him to. And when He did move, neither
the threats of His enemies nor the pleadings of His friends could
stop Him from doing what His Father required of Him. His daily food
was to fulfill His Father's will (John 4:34). As men crave for food
to nourish their bodies, He craved to do the will of the One Who had
sent Him."
"Jesus once said that Satan was a thief.
Satan does not steal money, for he knows that money has no eternal
value. He steals only what has eternal value - primarily the souls
of men. Jesus said further that after Satan steals, he kills and destroys
what he has stolen (John 10:10). In contrast, Jesus went on to say,
that He Himself had come to give us abundant life. Isn't it amazing
that in a world of 5,500 million people, more than 99% of the people
prefer to believe Satan's lies and to obey him rather than believe
in Jesus Christ and obey the Word of God. There we can see what a
tremendous work Satan has done in convincing people that it is not
a serious matter to disobey God's Word."
