Message Review: (Week 3) Buy The Truth

Mesaage title:  Buy The Truth  Speaker:  Apostle Joshua Selman  Reviewed by:  Isaac Beke INTRODUCTION  Any destiny that desires advancement and to the see the fulness of the life and the power of God find expression through it must understand the power of truth. To sell the truth is to part ways with it.  The factor that distinguishes men in the Kingdom is the degree to which they have access to this treasure that the Bible calls truth.  Dominion is not an impartation. It the resultant effect of the value that an individual has placed towards his pursuit for truth.  Any two people are distinguished in life and destiny to the degree that they pursue and seek truth.  The pursuit of truth will cost you. Accessing the truth does not come at the instance of your seeking it alone. It is a product of exchange.  The receipt for buying the truth is a life of exploit.  Truth only resides in the word.

PRINCIPLES FOR SUSTAINABLE RELATIONSHIPS (continued)  3. BE AN ACTIVE CONTRIBUTOR  Relationships require the active participation of every party involved in order to thrive. Never be a part of any relationship if you are not willing to be an active contributor.  Don't be a spectator "let's see how this goes"  Don't be a parasite "what's in it for me"  Don't be selfish "my way or the high way"  Don't be a difficult person "I am always right"  Don't be a toxic person "you are nothing without me"  Be a contributor "how can we make this happen"  Let people miss you when you are absent and let them enjoy your company when you are present.

PRINCIPLES FOR SUSTAINABLE RELATIONSHIPS  Everything that lasts must be built on principles. Failure to do so is a recipe for failure in itself. It is dangerous to build anything on emotions. Most ladies meet the right person that they should get married to but they refuse to because "they are not emotionally connected to him".  This is why most beautiful ladies in their late thirties and above are still single. Some remain in abusive and harmful relationships and when you try to point out the obvious, they reply, "But I love him." Yet the end result of such people is utter frustration and regrets.  While there are various kinds of relationships, the same principles apply across board. Again, It is important for you to build your relationships on principles and not on emotions. Emotions are valuable but they are not always correct and they do not guarantee success.  One reason why you should build quality relationships is because no one thrives in isolation as we es...
