  • Let it go, Forgive So You Can Be Forgiven

    T.D. JAKESNew York Times bestselling author and pastor to millions worldwide, challenges us to release ourselves and others from the crippling grudges and binding resentments that hold us back when we do not forgive others. “Forgiveness is a big idea and works best when invested into people who have the courage to grasp the seven-foot idea of what’s best for their future rather than the four-foot-high idea of recompense for what has happened in the past,” Jakes writes.

    Inspired by the Lord’s Prayer, Let It Go explores forgiveness as a life practice and offers specific and clear actions for readers who seek to apply it in every area of their lives—their marriages, their families, their friendships, and their business relationships. “Offenses are a part of life,” says Jakes, “but conflicts can be resolved and relationships restored when we stop paying the past with the resources of our future.”

    With his inimitable spiritual teaching and street-smart understanding of human nature, Jakes inspires us to embrace our destiny instead of obsessing about our history. No matter how great or small the injustice, Jakes shows us how the hurt can be hurdled, so that we might live in the joyful freedom waiting to be discovered when we Let It Go!

  • Life Overflowing

    The spiritual walk of the believer

    Introducing “Life Overflowing” – a groundbreaking book that will revolutionize your understanding of your purpose and destiny. Drawing upon the timeless wisdom of the Bible, this powerful guide reveals the transformative impact of living a life aligned with God’s divine plan.

    In today’s world, the Church represents Jesus Christ to humanity. As His children, we are called to embody His love and light in the earth. But what exactly is our responsibility as individuals in fulfilling God’s purpose for our lives? The apostle Paul directs our attention to this vital question in the opening verse of Ephesians chapter four:

    “As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received.” (Ephesians 4:1, NIV)

    While countless books flood the market, offering strategies for personal achievement and success, they often emphasize self-reliance and personal ambition. However, the believer’s journey is different. We are called to walk out God’s plan for our lives.

    In “Life Overflowing,” you will discover the divine mandate given to the Church—the mandate to step into the promises of God and claim the abundant life He has prepared for us. Refusing to move forward, remaining stagnant in sin, delaying our growth, or denying our true identity leads to spiritual death. That is not the path God intended for us. Instead, we are called to be a beacon of light, dispelling darkness, and bringing prosperity and peace to the hearts of mankind.

    Through a responsible walk, we honor and give glory to the One who saved us, healed us, and set us free. We embrace our new identity in Christ, reflecting His character and compassion to all we encounter. Our walk is characterized by supernatural strength, relying not on our own abilities, but on the limitless power of our Heavenly Father. We walk hand in hand with Jesus and our fellow believers, united in love and purpose, empowering us to impact and transform the world.

    In “Life Overflowing,” you will discover the keys to walking in wisdom and alignment with God’s heart and mind. No longer driven by human folly, you will learn to navigate life guided by the truth revealed through His Word and the Holy Spirit. As you embark on this journey, expect your life to overflow with blessings, fulfillment, and divine purpose.

    Don’t settle for a mediocre existence. Dive into the depths of “Life Overflowing” and uncover the incredible life that awaits you. Embrace your calling, experience supernatural empowerment, and witness the world around you transform in the presence of God’s abundant love.
