To be able to over come evil with good, it takes the grace of God, that is why the Bible says, as many that are led by the spirit of God they are the children of God.for the spirit of God to dwell in us we must deal with the flesh. Create a day or two days for fasting. As for me,I cannot be able to eat through a week without fasting, you are living like that, you will see yourself living over coming evil every day, every week, every month, you will experent peace of mind. No more fear.

Homiletics Training: Content

Homiletics .   By definition, “homiletic” is the art of preaching or writing sermons.   I think we would all agree that our pastors study the Bible thoroughly to deliver sermons every Sunday to their congregations.   The beautiful news is that every child of God can use this discipline to study the Bible for themselves. As a member of Bible Study Fellowship (BSF) Leadership, part of my required preparation each week is to prepare homiletics for the passage we are studying.   BSF offers an engaging seminar on how to use this method to study the Scriptures.   I’ve taken the seminar several times under two different leaders and I’ve learned something new every time I’ve attended.   I’ve also been doing the process of homiletics for over ten years and I can say that there is no better teacher than the Holy Spirit in this process!   So keep practicing.   Keep sharing and discussing.   I’ve been posting my homiletics on this blog for quite a...
