Healing Virtue by Pastor E.A. Adeboye



Key Text: Acts 5:10-15
”10 Then immediately she fell down at his feet and breathed her last. And the young men came in and found her dead, and carrying her out, buried her by her husband. 11 So great fear came upon all the church and upon all who heard these things.12 And through the hands of the apostles many signs and wonders were done among the people. And they were all with one accord in Solomon’s Porch. 13 Yet none of the rest dared join them, but the people esteemed them highly. 14 And believers were increasingly added to the Lord, multitudes of both men and women, 15 so that they brought the sick out into the streets and laid them on beds and couches, that at least the shadow of Peter passing by might fall on some of them. 16 Also a multitude gathered from the surrounding cities to Jerusalem, bringing sick people and those who were tormented by unclean spirits, and they were all healed.”
The plan of God for your life is that you are not sick at all so when sickness comes it is a stranger, an evader, an agent of the devil. John 10:10 says “The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy” The devil is out there to steal your health, kill your body and destroy you but Christ has come to give life abundantly. The bible says in 1John 3:8 “For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil.”

A Brief History Of the Redeemed Christian Fellowship

Redeemed Christian Fellowship has the aims and objectives of propagating the biblical Christian teaching of faith, love and holiness, thereby, promoting the spread of the gospel.

It also has the aim of promoting the work of God on the campuses by raising true and devoted men and women who are filled with the Spirit of God.
The Fellowship is aimed at uniting other Fellowships on campuses with e same similarities and objectives.

History

Redeemed Christian Fellowship was officially inaugurated by the visionary, Pastor E. A  Adeboye the general overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God in May 1988.

Background
Redeemed Christian Fellowship was originally called “Christ Redeemer’s Fellowship” in 1984 at Obafemi  Awolowo University where the Fellowship started. The need for the establishment was becoming great as the students from other denominations on campuses were coming together.

How To Become A Successful Entrepeneur

Is there a guaranteed formula to follow (as the headline suggests?) Of course not. A quick look at the people who have become successful entrepreneurs shows the paths they took are as unique as they are.
But—and it’s a HUGE but—while their behavior was idiosyncratic, their thinking was not.
study by Saras D. Sarasvathy of the University of Virginia‘s business school shows that serial entrepreneurs—people who have successfully started two or more companies—all followed the same approach. And if it has worked for them, it may very well work for you.
 That approach?
1. They REALLY wanted to do what they set out to do. If you don’t have desire, you won’t give anything your best efforts.
2. They begin by taking a small step toward their goal. Starting anything new is risky. You don’t want to move too far too fast. Everything you have probably read about entrepreneurs says they love risk. Nothing can be further from the truth.
3. After taking that small step, they stop to see what they have learned.
Maybe they learn their initial goal is still a good one. Maybe the market tells them they need to go in another direction. Maybe they learn that they don’t have the desire any more. The point is after taking that first small step, they come to a complete stop and consider everything.
4. Once they understand what they learned,they take another small step and go through the cycle once again.
In other words the “formula” for success is figuring out what you truly want to do.  And once you know: Act. Learn. Build. Repeat.
