Practical Ministry

There is one fundamental test of love. There is one way of proving whether a person loves the Lord or not. This test is obedience. Those who love the Lord obey Him. All who are disobedient to Him do not love Him. In this book, we present the nine marks of a disciple, an extended excerpt from The Making of Disciples by the author. They are drawn from the Word of God. Listen to each one carefully and answer the questions that follow.

The thought of many is that when a person is saved, God forgives him and wipes away all the consequences of his past sins - that he is free. His freedom is so complete that he has no responsibility to rightly terminate with the past and to carry out restitution to those he wronged then. This audiobook clearly examines that way of thinking in the light of the Scriptures and sets out the biblical message for those who have overcome and those who want to overcome.

In the early Church, only disciples were known. Those who belonged to the Lord Jesus were called “Disciples”. Who is a disciple? The Lord Jesus intended that everyone who is led to him, and who therefore knows him personally and is dynamically related to him, should enroll in the school of a Disciple Maker who will make him into a Disciple, which means somebody committed not only to be like Christ, but also to bring others to be like Christ.

This audiobook is an attempt to bring the people of God back to a soul-winning, that is, the bringing of the sinner into contact and union with the savior and for evangelism that is again in the power of the Holy Spirit.

What does God's grace mean to you? This question has often brought confusion and controversy to Christians everywhere. The team at World Prayr want you to understand just how amazing God's grace is.

In fact it is all God's grace, all the way.

God, as the Creator of man, has given every member of the human race a talent or talents with which to function in his universe. You have a talent! Every human being has a talent. Some human beings have many talents, but there is no human being without a talent.

I am burdened by the increasing numbers of believers who know the Lord very superficially. They do not love Him. They find the time spent in His presence uninteresting. Often they do not know what to say to Him. We believe that when believers, in an increasing number, begin to withdraw and spend time alone in God's presence, something will happen to them. They will know God and then they will seek Him more and more. They will serve Him from His presence and things will be different. They will make spiritual progress.

This is the most important book I have ever written or will ever write. There can be no greater need today than to disciple Christians one-on-one to obey Jesus Christ as Lord. The Great Commission is the fulfillment of the Great Commandment. To love is to obey, and to obey Jesus is to make disciples of all nations. Making disciples one-on-one is very simple, but it will cost you your life. Making disciples one-on-one is very powerful. You get to impart and teach Christians everything the Lord has commanded you. What a great advantage this is for new believers.

As your children grow, will their faith grow too? As both stories and statistics attest, the number of evangelical children who abandon Christianity in adulthood is staggering.

From best-selling devotional author, Hannah Duggan, comes a 10-week Bible study for the young adult asking the question, "What now?" As young adults, we question every decision. We live in the fear that our futures will crash and burn. We're terrified of messing up and missing out. Our lives are characterized by hard questions, and we're disillusioned with cliché answers. But what if I told you that you're right where God wants you?

Cada cristiano tiene la responsabilidad de conocer la Palabra de Dios y compartirla con los demás. Pero en un mundo marcado por el pecado, la falsa enseñanza está en todas partes.

This place of humble strength enables her to embrace the better and sure way to live victoriously and fulfil her destiny and assignment with no regrets; that is, living from the presence of God; abiding in the secret place of the most high.

Every Christian who has believed in Christ and received him as lord and savior, must enroll and make progress in the school of the one in whom he has believed and who is "the way, the truth, and the life". Genuine conversion should lead to a radical end to sin and a radical commitment to the truth. In this audiobook, Z.T. Formum shows us how he himself cooperated with God to root out all lies and falsehoods from his life. It exposes, through characters from the Old and New Testaments, the manifestations of lying in many practical aspects of life.

This audiobook could be for you a great source of restoration and renewed zeal. The Lord Jesus Christ calls all who receive him as their lord and saviour into ''the disciple's life". Those who commit themselves to it must submit to the demands and conditions of such a life. At a certain point in the walk with God, it is necessary to examine yourself to see if you are still on this path, for it is a narrow and difficult path that requires a price to pay.
