Grief is a concept that we can all relate to. Be it in relation to death, sickness, betrayal, job loss, or the like. This counseling handbook will take the reader through the journey of the grieving process utilizing a Bibliocentric model. In my praying to The Lord about a model for grief, He revealed to me the mnemonic: “A.C.T. I.N. F.A.I.T.H.” “B.E.L.I.E.F”. “Faith” itself is a golden thread running throughout all three components of the model. Part 1 looks at the counseled. Part 2 explores the “counselor-counselee link”. Part 3 examines requirements of the counselor. Part 4 explains the importance of transitioning the counseled into independence. Part 5 introduces the transitio ...

Whilst working on this topic The Lord had me research mountaineers and find parallels that would apply to the topic; parallels were marked. He further took me through the teaching preparation using that analogy. Mountaineers are different than ‘hikers’. The former are known: to face a multitude of risks and dangers; to be cognizant of impending dangers; to look out for their fellow man; to be fully equipped and physically fit; to appropriately navigate changes in weather; and, to have a grounded and highly skilled survival knowledge. They have self-discipline, self-control, and are humble regardless of what heights they reach. There is a difference between those that are “ordinary” an ...

God is always speaking to his creation. As humans in this rat race world that hustles and bustles, we need to ever position ourselves to be quiet enough to hear His whisper even in the midst of chaos. The alluring whisper of the Satan would have us at times think that we can somehow modify The Word of God, or, that we can somehow try to compromise The Embryotic message intertwined in The Holy Scriptures (The Holy Bible) in order to justify our sinful desires/actions; but there is Biblical Precedence for what happens when we deceivingly ‘wise in our own sights’ (Is. 5:21; Prov. 3:7; Prov. 12:15; Prov. 26:12) defy The Word of God. Regardless of the chaos that may be happening in your li ...

The topic of this resource “No Root No Fruit” was chosen for a General Convocation of a Oneness Apostolic Pentecostal organization at which I was asked to present in 2001. For the purposes of this resource I added the subtitle: “A tale of 2 heads in 1 church - Can a house divided stand?” The reason for doing thus as you will see through the resource is that there were two leaders striving for authority within the church though appearance would deem otherwise. The Lord revealed a deeper situation that was occurring within the walls of that church and a warning for that church – those that strove to usurp the appointed leader and join ranks with one of the assistants under him. There w ...

This book titled “The Top of The Ladder” focuses not on the ‘top’ as it relates to earthly feats, for those are fleeting, but rather will look at the ladder relative to the spiritual watchtower upon which we all should stand. This book will: 1. illustrate to the reader why now is the accepted time to awake; 2. explain to the reader (saved or unsaved) what is entailed should they choose to be part of God’s Armed Forces; 3. in light of the scripture 1 John 2:16 outline counseling techniques for helping brothers and sisters who struggle with “The Battle of the flesh”, particularly sexual sins such as pornography. Note: from a counselling perspective, an overview of the unspoken batt ...

The point of this book is not to give you an in-depth look behind the scenes of those who grew up in a Pastor’s/ Bishop’s/ Superintendent’s household, nor is it to provide excuses for “PK”’s who like any other person’s child make mistakes. The point of this book is rather to: 1. compare and contrast the “leaders children” and “the people’s children” in The Bible; 2. encourage congregants to ‘look in the mirror’ at their own children or relatives prior to casting the first stone; 3. broaden your mind when you think of the pastor/leader & his/her household; and 4. remind anyone in a leader’s household who is reading this to remember that you are mere human as well, with human needs ...

Based on trends in society at large it becomes more apparent that the oneness Pentecostal Apostolic church will not be unaffected by cases of sexual abuse. The intent of this resource is not at all to criticize any Oneness Pentecostal Apostolic church’s dogma on this issue (and thus provide objections/resistance), but rather to integrate related secular knowledge to biblical truths. Significant critical questions and dilemmas will be discussed throughout the text, while unmerited technicalities will be avoided. Ethical dilemmas presented in this book are meant to formulate discussion within & across Oneness Pentecostal Apostolic church organizations. It is not my intent to provide “th ...

This resource is based on the scripture Romans 12:1 - “I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service”. From that scripture, The Lord revealed to me the concept of “spiritual cremation”. The Lord then had me visit a Funeral Home and a Moratorium in order to conduct a physical research & inquiry that would enable me to understand and then teach a spiritual parallel. After defining “spiritual cremation”, this resource takes the reader through the related processes of: embalming; funeral rites; cannibalism; mourning; and, urn-vaults/columbariums. An examination of the ...

There is a call in the land – a call to arise – a call to do as saith The Lord. This call rings louder than any temple bell. The call penetrates into the atmosphere defying sound barriers. You see the call is about The Caller (our God) – not about the callee. As the adage states: “God qualifies the called!” Like Esther, Joseph, and so many greats in The Bible, it is time to arise! The "such a time as this" has come. It is high time we fully execute the authority given to us in scripture according to our various levels of giftings, and begin to call. To call into existence the things which are not as if they were (Romans 4:17); to command strongholds to fall; to demand roadblocks be re ...

Anyone at any given time may have suicidal ideas. All suicide attempts should be taken seriously. Sometimes other emergency providers need to be involved in the suicidal individual’s healing process. Not eliciting outside help would be like telling a physically sick person not to go to the medical doctor for examination or medication. I am of the opinion that we have to look at the problem, look up to God for our source of direction, and if need be look around at options in the community (emergency personnel) and Oneness Pentecostal Apostolic Church. Suicide is not foreign in scripture. Using a modified "CPR" assessment scale, detailed examples of such biblical people who were und ...
