  To effectively grasp a book, you need to actively engage the Five Fingers. In the same way, to grasp God's Word, the five fingers of your right hand would be required. The fingers stand for: hearing , studying, memorizing and meditation on God's Word. Romans 10:17 says: So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God. 1. Hearing This is one way to learn God's Word. Romans 10:17 says: So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God. You can listen to messages, audio, video and VCDs of anointed men and women of God. It is very helpful, but your knowledge of God should be restricted to hearing only. Educationalists tell us that we only retain six to ten percent of what we hear. A believer who relies only on messages he or she hears, would be living on a very meager spiritual diet that will leave his spirit starving. 2. Reading Deuteronomy 17:19 says: And it shallshall be with him, he shall read therein all the days of his life: ...

Hearing From God A lot of Christians has been born again for many years but still don't hear from God. If you are that type ,Glory to God, having read this post, He will speak to you right now. Hearing from God is simply God giving you direction or telling you what and what not to do. It is exciting when you have a mutual relationship with God and he speaks to you one on one. In Gen. 2&3 explains the relationship between God and Adam. God had a very intimate communication with Adam. All the instructions given to Adam by God was done in a one one conversation. When sin came into existence, the cord was broken and direct communication with God seized. That's why now, we must have a true   relationship with God through the Jesus in truth and spirit to hear from him. My prayer is as you read this, God will speak to you in Jesus Name. Amen! You cannot live a successful Christian life if you don't hear from God. Apart being a pastor or a priest unto God, you still nee...

                                                                  Christians so often ask, “How can I know the will of God?” We want to know His will. We need to know it if we’re going to live the abundant life He has for us. But to know His will, we must know God Himself—and not just head knowledge. We must know His ways. How to set goals towards Success You will never know stability and victory in your life without knowing God the Father, the Lord Jesus, and God the Holy Spirit intimately. To find His will, ask yourself, “Do I know Him? Do I know His ways? Basics of Success When you know His ways, it follows as night follows day, you’ll know His will. A...

As Christians we are seeking to know God, but in what way or to what degree? “He made His ways known to Moses; His acts, to the children of Israel.” -Psalm 103:7     God’s ways are different from His acts. His acts are His activities; His ways are the principles by which He acts. The children of Israel knew only His acts, but Moses knew His ways (Psa. 103:7). Hebrews 3:10 Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do alway err in their heart; and they have not known my ways. Hebrews Three Ways of Knowing God     According to His acts     According to His principles     According to His being We all start out only knowing God’s acts. These are the most apparent of the three and fit in with the most basic concept of God- He’s the Sovereign, calls the shots, rules the universe and yet is somehow privy to our needs. We ask for something and He acquiesces. I have a job interview and pray that God ...

There are 6 things we have to consciously start doing. Now I’ll show you how you can achieve each of them in details. 1. STOP Setting New Year Resolutions… START New Month Resolutions Instead.

Though Steve Jobs has passed away, his legacy will be with us forever. Steve was undoubtedly a very successful entrepreneur. Here are ten life lessons about success that we can learn from him: 1. Learn how to anticipate the future Steve Jobs once quoted Wayne Gretzky, saying:     “I skate to where the puck is going to be, not where it has been.” Steve Jobs has been a living proof of this quote all of his life. Apple has reaped the benefits from Steve’s ability to anticipate future trends. They dominated the digital music sales (shrinking the market of CD music sales), while the iPhone has also revolutionized the phone industry by introducing a very sophisticated touch screen based phone. The ability to anticipate the future is very important if you want to achieve your goal and be successful. An example of how we can apply this to our life is by visioning what we want to be in one year (or five years, ten years, and so on) from now. By having the vision, we can antici...

Relationships can be difficult. Focusing on external qualifiers makes it even harder. But successful relationships require something much deeper than shared interests or physical attraction. Maintaining a healthy, happy relationship requires you to make daily choices that leave your ego behind and to act in the best interest of your relationship rather than just yourself. Here are what I consider the 15 essential qualities of a lasting relationship: 1. Acceptance Any partner will have qualities, characteristics, and behaviors that push your buttons and test your sanity. To make your relationship last, you have to accept your partner unconditionally—quirks, behavior, flaws, and all. First, you make the commitment to accepting them completely. Then, you speak up and say what it is that’s bothering you. 2. Respect Once the chase is over and we've gotten the prize, we often just forget about our partner's feelings and needs. In lasting relationships, both partners value each oth...
