Ultimate Harvest by Tobe Momah Pdf

As a foreigner who crisscrossed Africa and Europe to arrive on the shores of New York in 2005, I could see the cold fangs of Europe's post-modern-day secularism clashing with the fires of revival from Africa in America's streets. America, a nation that sent out more missionaries than the rest of the world, is now an unreached nation. The Bible says in Luke 12:48 that "whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more." America has been given much by God, in terms of money, men, and materials, and much is required of her in the last days' harvest. This book challenges the American church to return to her roots and cultivate again her true foundations of evangelism, discipleship, and following Jesus to the ends of the earth.

The Fruitful Wife by Hayley DiMarco Pdf

Are you loving, joyful, peaceful, patient, kind, good, faithful, gentle, AND self-controlled? Most of the time? Sometimes? How about when life gets hard or marriage gets tough? Whatever your answer may be, the good news is that you are not alone. Best-selling author, mother, and wife Hayley DiMarco understands the challenges we all face and answers the question at hand: How can you be the woman God is calling you to be, a woman who bears the fruit of the Spirit in your marriage and in the daily grind of life? To help you grow, Hayley explores the biblical significance of all 9 fruits of the Spirit, explaining how each fruit first begins to grow and then how each impacts your day-to-day life and marriage. She writes like a wise friend and is readily transparent about her own failures to be spiritually fruitful as well as her relational struggles for control, authority, and respect. Ultimately, Hayley teaches us how even the rockiest of marriages can blossom and generate the fruit God intends to produce.

Effortless Fruitfulness by Emily Fieg Pdf

Is God disappointed in me? Am I doing enough? Why is it so hard to produce the fruit of the Spirit? If producing spiritual fruit has ever felt like toil, this study will help you discover the way Jesus meant for fruit to grow. No matter where you are on your journey to bearing fruit, this 13-lesson scripture study will lead you into an even more fruitful life. New believers, as well as those who have been in the church for decades, can both find greater victory in the areas of bearing fruit and abiding in Jesus. Some of the most common themes in Jesus’ parables are planting, sowing, and harvesting. In Effortless Fruitfulness, the author examines many of those parables and stories from the New Testament, along with examples from her own life, to reveal practical steps and raise thought-provoking questions that will help you step out of striving and into supernatural growth. “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” Matthew 11:28-30 NIV ..... This is a thirteen-session individual or small group study and workbook that examines Jesus' parables and teachings in the Gospels about bearing fruit, abiding in the vine, sowing and reaping, harvesting, and other agricultural metaphors and reveals how many Christians have been trying to gain victory in these areas by self-effort without realizing it. Be ready to be set free and equipped for greater fruitfulness! The paperback version of this book is both a bible study and a workbook. The eBook version has all the same content, but lacks the workbook layout and space to answer the questions. It is recommended that you have a separate journal on hand for writing your answers to the questions when reading the eBook version. Perfect for a Bible study, small group, or for individual study or quiet time to foster spiritual and personal growth.

Five Practices of Fruitful Living by Bishop Robert Schnase Pdf

How do I cultivate a life that is purposeful, deep, and fruitful? What are the commitments, critical risks, and personal practices that open me to God's grace? How can I discover the spiritual life and the difference God intends for me to make in the world? Radical Hospitality. Passionate Worship. Intentional Faith Development. Risk-Taking Mission and Service. Extravagant Generosity. Five Practices of Fruitful Living provides an honest, practical, and winsome guide to the spiritual journey. By repeating and deepening certain fundamental practices, we cooperate with God in our spiritual growth. These five practices - to receive God's love, to love God in return, to grow in Christ, to serve others, and to give ourselves fully - as we attend to them and develop them, help us settle ourselves in God and become instruments of God's grace. Following Christ will change your heart; and through you, God will change the world. FROM THE INTRODUCTION - "Five Practices of Fruitful Living moves the discussion of Christian practice from the congregational level to the personal practices of discipleship. The fruitful, God-related life develops with intentional and repeated attention to five essential practices that are critical for our growth in Christ. Radical Hospitality. Passionate Worship. Intentional Faith Development. Risk-Taking Mission and Service. Extravagant Generosity. These practices open our heart—to God, to others, to a life that matters, a life rich with meaning, relationship, and contribution. They help us flourish."
