INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this book is to help bring the church back to the basic. We need more teaching on repent, water baptize, being fill with the Holy Ghost, and what it take to live a holy life. Thank the Lord for teaching on prosperity for we need it, I need it, especially in time like these. I just feel the church need more teaching on the basic. I believe in order to really get bless financially you must put the Lord first in your life. You need to seek first the kingdom of God and all of His righteousness and all the other things will be add to you.

I believe the church need to concentrate on living a holy life and teach young saint how to repent, and present their body as a living sacrifice, holy acceptable unto the Lord, which is our reasonable service. The Bible say the good work God has begun within us He will perform it until the day of the Lord Jesus Christ. I want the church to know what it take to Live holy.

I want saint to know what it real takes to live holy and grow in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 2 Peter 1:2-12 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, According as His divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him that hath called us to glory and virtue: Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; and to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; and to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity. For if these thing be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins. Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall: For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, thought ye know them, and be established in the present truth.

I just want to help anyone who is having problem put their feet on the solid ground and living holy.

The Bible say in ST. John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Jesus demonstrated His love for you and me by dying on the cross. The Bible says greater love has no man than this that a man lay down his life for his friend. Jesus lay down his life for you. The love Jesus has for us is immeasurable. The greatest demonstration of God love is when Jesus dies on Calvary. Because Jesus loves us so much until He lay down His life for us we should so love our brother until we are willing to lay down our life for the brother.

Yes, I am love and therefore I can love

Yes, I am love and therefore I can love. Deuteronomy 7:7-10 The Lord did not set His love upon you, nor choose you, because ye were more in number than any people; for ye were the fewest of all people: But because the Lord loved you and because He would keep the oath which He had sworn unto your fathers, hath the Lord brought you with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondmen, from the hand of Pharaoh King of Egypt. Know therefore that the Lord thy God, He is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love Him and keep His commandments to a thousand generations; And repayeth them that hate Him to their face to destroy them; He will not be slack to Him that hateth Him;, He will repay him to his face. God loves us therefore He will keep the promises that He have made to us. His love is not basis on circumstance, or on who we are or how large or small we are he just loves us and that love was shown on Calvary. Therefore because we have received His love therefore we can give love. Romans 5:1-5 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulations worked patience; and patience, experience; and experience, hope; And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is give unto us. We can love other because His love is shed abroad in our heart by the Holy Ghost. We can love our spouse our husband and we can love our wives, children and friends because of Him.

Husband the Bible teaches the husband to love his wife as his own body. Ephesians 5:25-28 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave Himself for it; That He might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word. That He might present it to Himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be Holy and without blemish. So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. When a man loves his wife as Christ love the church, he teaches her to love him by example. You can love and be love because of the Lord Jesus Christ has loved you. Titus 2:1-5 But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine: That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in patience, The aged women likewise, that they be in behavior as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things; That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed. When love is in the home patient is there, kindness is there and joy and peace will be there in the home.

I John 2:15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. We are instructed not to love the world, but what John is talking about is the world system the spirit is that of antichrist. John is not talking about the people of the world. John is talking about don’t love the things of the world but we are to love the Lord with all our heart, mind, soul and strength. In St. John 3:16 The Bible is talking about people. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Matthew 5:43-48 Ye have heard that it hath been said; Thou shalt love thy neighbor, and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; That you may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for He maketh His sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? Do not even the publicans the same? And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? Do not even the publicans so? Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.

Phileo is one of the Greek words for love in the New Testament, which expresses a love of intimate affection, a love which receives personal pleasure in return. It loves because of what is received in return. The love of God is not basis on what can be return. God love is expressed by the Greek word agape. The highest form of love. Agape mean love because it is love which is God. Agape is a self-sacrificial love. It gives and surrenders without the thought of receiving anything in return. The Bible says in Romans 5:8-9 But God commendeth His love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. I John 3:16 Hereby perceive we the love
