Jou mate van gehoorsaamheid bepaal die mate van gesag wat…
PATTERN YOURSELVES after me [follow my example], as I imitate and follow Christ (the Messiah). 1 Cor 11:1 Wie is jou navolgers? Kan jy ook hierdie vers met oortuiging vir jou kinders en volgelinge sê? In terme van Leierskap sê John Maxwell; “If you leading and no one is following, you’re only taking a walk…
Enige vorm van geneeskunde het ‘n sekere bepaalde sukses faktor presentasie. Waarom het goddelike genesing so ‘n onreëlmatige sukses faktor?
