Synopsis "The Principles Behind Jesus' Ministry"
The book is titled "The principles behind the miracles of the Lord Jesus Christ." More than ever before as the world advances in knowledge of science and technology, miracles are being supplanted by gimmickry and Christianity is fast becoming like other religions whose credentials are a set of moral dos and don'ts. Christianity has always been about exercising dominion and wielding the power of God in the affairs of men and creation. If the Church loses this ability, then evangelism will make no meaning and people will not be born-again and the Lord's second coming will be delayed indefinitely. I pray that our generation shall fulfill the command of the Master to go into all the nations of the world, preaching the gospel to all creatures and making disciples of men and teaching them to observe all things whatsoever He commanded us. The goals of this book are as follows:1. To help Christians all over the world particularly in our age understand how to fulfill Jesus' promise that the works He did shall we do and greater works too. 2. To help Christians the world over, answer the question of the Lord Jesus that "When the Son of man shall come, shall He find faith on the earth" in the affirmative.3. To bring the knowledge of the glory of God to fill the earth as the waters cover the seas. 4. To help 21st Century believers understand that God is still the same as He was 21 Centuries ago.5. To help 21st Century believers know how to bring the power of God into their everyday life situations. This book is meant for the following people:1.Operators of the Five-Fold Ministry (Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists, Pastors and Teachers)2. Teachers of the Bible 3. Ministers of the Gospel 4. Believers and Disciples of Jesus Christ 5. Believers who are still operating at the level of church membership but desire to graduate to becoming disciples of Jesus Christ 6. Unbelievers seeking and searching for the truth about the nature and character of GodFurthermore - the text discloses: The Lord had a brief - Become a human and reconcile men and creation back to GodThe Lord had a focus - Do The work and finish itThe Lord had a target audience - Stay within the nation of Israel and attend primarily to Jewish people except...The Lord had a scope - Introduce eternal life starting nowThe Lord had boundaries - time-bound (thirty three and a half years), geographical (Israel of the 1st Century), racial (Jews only), social (laborers and the heavy laden), cultural (Jewish culture), doctrinal (the King and His Kingdom as mirrored by the Law and the Prophets), manifestational (refocus and re-calibrate human beings and creation), transitional (build, empower and send the Ecclesia)The Lord has to finish His work within time allotted Him.So how did He manage to swing all these to dos while being surrounded by so much don'ts and constraints?We can safely say that He followed a tightly regimented and superbly choreographed lifestyle. He simply mirrored the invisible God. But behind every good and "ungood," cool and "uncool" (ask the scribes, elders, chief priests, Pharisees and Sadducees for instances of) act, speech and deed of the Lord Jesus, there is a reason, a principle and indeed a reusable template that when carefully studied, affords a ringside view of heaven's operation on earth and enables any human being to understand and know the God of the universe a little bit better.The Principles Behind the Miracles of Jesus Christ is a treatise on the eleven consistent principles that guided and bounded why, what, how, where, when and with whom of the miracles [performed by the Lord Jesus Christ. He just did not raise a dead twelve-year-old girl while demanding faith from the father of another boy. He did not heal a paralytic man in the synagogue on the Sabbath because he was powerless on other days.
