When we accept Christ as our Savior we become born of God’s Spirit and God is love. Because God is love, His Spirit leads us to walk in love. If we mistreat others, we won’t be at peace. The Holy Spirit will bring those misdeeds to our attention. In this teaching, Frank King explains how walking in love toward others promotes confidence toward God. This confidence toward God will manifest itself whenever we pray.
Have you ever heard someone who has an abundance of things in this life boast that he is living the life? The suggestion is that life is about getting a lot of stuff. That is the persistent message of this world in which we live. In this teaching, Frank King encourages us to guard ourselves against this errant message. According to Jesus, Your life is not defined by the things you have or do not have.
Our words have power. But whether power is good or bad is dependent upon how the one who has the power uses it. We should use the power of our tongue to minister life to others and not death. Some say sticks and stones may break my bones but words can never hurt me. That is so far from the truth. Verbal abuse can virtually kill a person. This teaching is a reminder for us to use the power of our tongue to minister life.
Wisdom is important because through it we can maximize our knowledge and resources. Some people have little in the way of knowledge and resources. But through their abundant wisdom they can maximize the yield of the little they have. By contrast, some people are blessed with abundance. But from these they benefit little due to their lack of wisdom. We don’t have to look hard to find wisdom. According to the Bible, wisdom is everywhere speaking to us.
Sometimes, we make bad calls in life. But generally speaking, people don’t purposely make disastrous decisions. Most people don’t get up one day and decide to do something to make a mess of their life. The truth is that we are born with an amazing ability to be deceived. Sometimes, what seems so right to us can turn out to be so wrong. This susceptibility to be deceived exists in Christians as well as non-Christians.
What is it that you do for God that you find even more fulfilling than meat/eating at times? Jesus says, “My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his works” (John 4:34). His words reflect the gratification He received while doing the work God had sent Him to do. In this teaching, Frank King argues that every Christian should be passionate about something they do for God.
Want to have a more vibrant relationship with God? Want to be used more mightily by God? Then set your mind on things above. This mindset can be accomplished only through becoming more heavenly-minded and less earthly-minded. The Word of God is the main vehicle for setting our mind on things above. If we want to live life on a higher level, we must think on a higher level.
The Word of God has a spiritual distinction. The depths of its truths cannot be understood by our natural faculties. The good news is that God has given us understanding of the mysteries of the Kingdom. When we became born again, He gave us ears to hear and eyes to see so we can receive life from His Word. In effect, God has given Christians a spiritual perception that non-Christians do not and cannot have.
Frank King teaches on God’s ability to meet the needs of His people. Citizens of a country tend to look to their government and its leaders as their source. But Christians should not think that way because God is our source. He knows how to meet our needs. We can trust Him to be faithful even when the local economy is bad. God may use this world’s infrastructure, but He is our source, and our trust must be in Him.
Spiritual leaders are gifts from God to the local church. They are charged with feeding the flock and with being watchpersons over the souls of the people they serve. Still, some church members choose to not give due honor to their spiritual leadership. Some even actively oppose church leaders. In this Bible teaching, Frank King addresses disrespect toward leadership and its negative impact on the blessings of those who do such.
Jesus warned the multitude that some people will call Him Lord when they stand before Him. They will claim to have done miracles and other great works in His name. But many will hear Him tell them He never knew them. The things we say or the things we do don’t validate us before the Lord. To go to heaven, one must have a personal relationship with Him.
Sometimes, the Word of God will challenge our faith. Sometimes, His Word will defy human logic. He may ask us to do what we have already done and expect different results. But when we obey the Word of God, the blessing of the Lord is upon us. From one end of the Bible to the other, the message is clear. God blesses obedience to His Word. He knows how to fulfill His promises to us.
Christ died on the cross for our sins. He totally paid the price to redeem us. We are saved by grace through faith in His redemptive work on the cross. But in some pulpits, another gospel is being preached. That gospel is actually a perversion of the gospel of Christ. That gospel is a combination of salvation by grace and salvation by works. This episode underscores the fact that our salvation rests solely upon Christ’s work on the cross and not upon our own works.
Do you want the Word of God to become deeply rooted in you? When you hear the Word of God, do you want it impact your life the way God intends for it to? This is possible only if you divorce this world to make room in your heart for the Word of God. Jesus says those who fail to do so are like the seeds of a sower that fell among the thorns.
The anointing is a divine impartation upon our lives. God anoints us for different purposes in accordance with His will. There is, however, an anointing that’s common to all believers. We have an anointing to know and walk in truth. Through this divine impartation, bona fide believers can grasp biblical truths without the aid of a human teacher. Unbelievers can’t relate to biblical truth this way. It is unique to those within the body of Christ.
Though the opposition we experience in life often manifests itself through people, we don’t wrestle against flesh and blood. Our real enemy is the dark spiritual forces at work in our world. They are orchestrating rampant crime in our streets, turmoil in government, and tension among world leaders. Human resources are no match for the real enemy. Only God can give us the armor we need to win against the real enemy.
When we accept Jesus Christ as our Savior, we become members of the family of God. We are His children, and He is our heavenly Father. As the children of God, we should not be anxious about our needs in this life because God will provide for His children. This teaching serves to remind us that God knows every one of our needs. He is more than able to meet those needs. And He promises to never leave or forsake us.
Early in the Old Testament era, God gave us the Law, which includes the Ten Commandments. These commandments give us a window into the heart of God, in terms of His likes and dislikes. They also constitute moral laws for us to live by. But today, we are not under the Law but under Grace. So what is the purpose of the Law under the Grace dispensation? That is the subject of this episode.
In Psalm 137:4, we find these words: “How shall we sing the Lord’s song in a strange land?” Sometimes, we find ourselves in a “strange land.” This is not a strange physical land but a strange place in life. It’s an unpleasant place in life where we have never been before. The surroundings are unfamiliar because it is new territory. This episode is a reminder that even in such an undesirable place in life, we can sing the Lord’s song.
Five-minute audio Bible teaching. Minsters are the face of the gospel. They have been entrusted with the words of eternal life from heaven. To whom much is given much is required. It stands to reason then that ministers should reflect a commitment to integrity in ministry. They should uphold high moral standards and strive to bring no reproach on the gospel. We should pray that all ministers today embrace a commitment to integrity in ministry.
