FIRST LOVE RECOVERY MINISTRIES HOME PAGEQUOTES ARTICLES DESTINY GUIDE CONTACT US AN OPEN DOOR 1 Corinthians 16:9 (King James Version) "For a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and there are many adversaries." There is an open door set before everyone in Christ Jesus! It is a door that is opened, and no man can shut it! It is opened despite of a person's dull and ugly past! It is a door that is great and effectual! It is door of destiny! It is opened into a bright and colorful future! This door that links a person and fulfillment of divine destiny! Associated with it are many adversaries. Some adversaries are seen,and others are unseen. Some come in guise of friends,and others come in their true colours! Some seem to work singly,and others seem to work in groups. Some work to prevent a person from seeing this door. Others work to prevent a person from passing through door. Others work to frustrate anyone who passes through door. These are enemies of destiny! They are headed by mankind's arch-enemy,the devil(Rev 12:9). All negative thoughts in a person are allies of these adversaries! These allies work against any person's destiny! These allies should be firmly dealt with as prescribed by God's word(2 Cor.10:3-6). They should be casted down from place of control in human mind! The human mind is battleground where wars are won or lost in noble pursuit of divine destiny! When any person is in Christ,he/she becomes a new creature(2 Cor.5:17) and he/she receives God's grace to think positive thoughts(Philippians 4:8). Positive thoughts are friends of destiny! They are downloaded from mind of Christ(1 Cor.2:16) into Christian's mind which becomes renewed(Rom. 12:2). This process takes in realm of Spirit in various ways. It could happen during private or public worship(John 4:23-24). It also occurs as one reads bible or listens to word of God through others using various media like radio,television,books,magazines,tracts,and Internet(Heb. 4:12-13).

FIRST LOVE RECOVERY MINISTRIES HOME PAGEQUOTES ARTICLES DESTINY GUIDE CONTACT US RHEMA ISLAND Romans 10:17 (New International Version) "Consequently, faith comes from hearing message, and message is heard through word of Christ." This word of Christ serves as divinely ordained travel agent for all persons who are travelling through life from cradle to grave in all generations of human existence. The star offer for all times and seasons is 'Rhema Island'! This is only island where all dreams of God in human heart get really and fully fulfilled. But island cannot be located on any physical map or using latest satellite technology,yet its existence has been proved by those who found it. It has even eluded realms of magic,mythology and mysticism,yet those who find it accomplish 'the impossible' in fulfilling their divine destinies. This island is surrounded and hidden by seas of ancient and modern human philosophies and traditions which mankind has sought to achieve fulfillment in life! Mankind has suffered turmoil and frustration even when sailing on ships as 'invincible' as 'the Titanic' in order to get to this island! The enemy of mankind has always provided an alternative to this star offer but those who has accepted such an offer have ended up in a complete mess(Prov.14:12). The alternative seems right to human intellect because it comes in a very attractive package that hides its real evil nature. The enemy of mankind has never had any interest in any person's fulfillment in life. Therefore if anyone refuses his offer,he proceeds to discourage those who make right choice to seek 'Rhema Island'! Hebrews 11:6 (New International Version) "And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him." Through word of Christ anyone can hear message of God relevant to his/her situation,and this message generates faith which is dynamic element in man that turns dreams of God into realities. Real faith never denies or belittles God's existence and God's ability to impartially respond to anyone who seeks him. Faith counters and neutralises lies of enemy of mankind-these lies only sabotage man's destiny both temporally(in this life) and eternally(in life to come). Through faith,anyone can get access to 'Rhema Island' and it is only by faith that one's place on island is secured in spite of onslaught of enemy's storms. Real faith is not 'faith in faith' but 'faith in God(Mark 11 :22)'. The former (faith in faith) is only an alternative to real faith but gets no one anywhere and offers no security against enemy. The latter(faith in God) believes in who God is,and in what he says!
