He That Ruleth His Own Spirit
In this personal ministry to an elder, John admonishes him that “he that ruleth his own spirit is greater than he that taketh a city.” This teaching is valuable for any ministry in the Body of Christ.
Behold, I Have Given You Authority
The authority that has been delegated to the believer is superior over the power of Satan. However, we often try to meet the power of the devil in our own human power, will, strength and capacities, instead of fully appropriating the authority from Him who has all authority and dominion. Our exercise of that authority is in direct ratio to our submission to the Lord and our dedication to His will. Whatever the Spirit authorizes and leads us to do, the resources of God are behind us to accomplish that purpose.
A Teaching About Body Ministry
We are living in a day when God is teaching us about body ministry. Each member has been given a special, unique function by the grace of God, and it is fulfilled with the help from other members. When the same care is manifested one for another, there will be maturity and strength in the house of God.
