What is a covenant? A biblical covenant is an agreement between God and man that governs their relationship. In the scriptures, a covenant was more than an impersonal contract, but a symbol of God's faithfulness and man's responsibility in worship. In both testaments, God established covenants with man. In this book, we will explore two foundational to God's interaction with His creation; that is, the Adamic Covenant and the Noahic Covenant. As we explore these two Covenants, we will see God's eternal purpose revealed, as well as the relevance of these covenants for the Christian today. .

The scriptures reveal that God has set ministries and gifts in the Church. The ministries of the apostle and the prophet provided the foundation for the Church. However, their ministries alone could not advance the Church. Thus, God set other ministries within the Church; namely, the pastor and the teacher. These ministries are important for the equipping and maturing of the saints. In the pages of this book, we will discuss the ministries of the pastor and of the teacher in detail. A proper understanding of these ministries will help individuals recognize and appreciate their functionality in the Church.

In this book, we will briefly discuss the gifts and ministries of the Spirit of God, their functions, and how to recognize them in operation. God gives the Church gifts to benefit everyone. The purpose of the gifts is not to make us spiritual, but to help us to serve and minister to one another in love. The operation of the Spirit of God and His gifts/ministries among believers testifies to the presence of God in the Church. Ministry Journal Included.

The kingdom of God is revealed through the acceptance of Jesus Christ. He told Nicodemus that unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. However, those who have received Christ are members of the kingdom of God. There are standards and protocols that exist in the kingdom of God. In this publication, we will explore seven foundational precepts concerning the kingdom of God. In understanding these precepts, one will live a successful life in the kingdom of heaven

The devil is real. His number one deception is to cause mankind not to believe in his existence. The Bible tells us otherwise. As believers, we must understand that we have an adversary, and we must engage in spiritual warfare. Because God is love, debates have been ongoing as to how He could create such an evil being who wreaked havoc on the world. God created Lucifer in all righteousness. But he chose to become corrupt. In this issue, we will provide an introduction to spiritual warfare. It is our hope that Christians will discover who the adversary is and how to overcome him.

In this publication, we will explore the life of Enoch. Enoch is known as the man who pleased God. Consequently, he went to heaven without dying. Though much is not written concerning him, we can learn from him. Through his example, we will learn how to please the Lord in our walk with him.

In this issue, we will discuss the need for ministry among pastors and leaders. Jesus was referred to as the Wounded Healer. In spite of rejection and sorrow, He ministered to the needs of others. Today, we find leaders throughout the Body of Christ who are wounded healers. They minister to others without receiving ministry themselves. This has caused many leaders to suffer burn-outs, sicknesses, and even early deaths. In this issue, we want to examine the influences surrounding this problem in leadership.

Controversy over the gifts and ministries of the Spirit has abounded for centuries. Various scholars have taught that there was a cessation of the gifts and ministries. More specifically, they affirm that the ministries of the Apostle and Prophet are no longer in operation nor valid. In this book, we will bring clarity to the roles of the apostles and prophets in the New Testament Church. In addition, we will explain with simplicity the apostolic and the prophetic anointing. It is our prayer that believers will recognize the operation of them in their lives and in the lives of others. We can be confident that God is still using His people in these last days.
