Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God. (Eph.5:21) God has put into place five structures of authority, which we all must submit to and that serve as a framework for our lives. Here we will look at the last two—authority within the family unit as...
But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me. (1 Cor. 15:10)Two more keys for developing longevity in your life as...
"Oh God, send me a Joshua!" Now we all know that Joshua was never referred to in the Bible as Moses' armorbearer, but he was called Moses' minister in Joshua 1:1. The verb form of the word minister means: to attend, to contribute to, to minister to, to wait on, and...
Knowing that you are in the ministry that God intends for you is yet another key to longevity. I believe this is the decade of the local church. Using ministries as stepping-stones is wrong, and that could be the reason you are not prospering in your call. This key...

In the past, I have described an "armorbearer" as one who, in Old Testament days, was responsible for carrying his master's shield into battle. He had the awesome responsibility of seeing to the safety and success of his officer. Today, we may not use the term...
