The Twice-Sown Seed
“Now he that ministereth seed to the sower both minister bread for your food, and multiply your seed sown” (2 Cor. 9:10). Matthew 14 records the event of how Jesus took the seed—the young lad’s bread and fish—gave thanks for it, blessed it, broke...
Believe When You Pray

The Day of Pentecost: A Day to Remember
“And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance” (Acts 2:4 KJV). You are a Christian, the seed of Abraham, and you are Satan’s worst nightmare. You see, the blessing of...
