Philemon 1:4 I thank my God, making mention of thee always in my prayers, Vs 5 Hearing of thy love and faith, which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints; Vs 6 That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus. Paul in the above letter to Philemon speaks concerning the believers' faith being effective as a result of the believer coming to a full comprehension of who he is in Christ. This implies that upon receiving the gospel and becoming a believer, there are things; information that he must be aware of in order to be an effective believer. This invariably means that until the believer is made aware, made to understand these things, he cannot be effective as a Christian. Thus, there are things to learn; who you are in Christ, what you have in Christ and what you can do in Christ. The believer also needs to learn about his responsibilities as a believer. The teaching (training) would be incomplete if all the believer learns are his rights in Christ but no responsibilities. The believer must know with all certainty, his rights in Christ and equally pay attention to his responsibilities.

As our tradition has always been to put out truths of God's word across the lanes of the things of, that pertain to the spirit, we bring to you another material that captures in a basic way, questions might be probing the minds of many, on the demonstrations of the gifts of the spirit.1st Corinthians 12:1 Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant.Paul instructs concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant. Such instructions should not go without being attended to. Just like today, Paul would ask the Corinthian church severally, "know ye not." It is also important to realise that in our world today, we have so many "know ye nots" to ask when it comes to the gifts of the spirit, either via their classifications, their workings, the instructions that follow them within the pages of Paul's letters and the entire body of scriptures.In this book we answer simple things like the indwelling of the spirit, Baptism of the Holy Ghost, the different classifications of the gifts and the things of the spirit, as received by great scholars and those who have gone ahead of us and laid a good foundation that we build upon today. These include men like Howard J. Carter, F. F. Bosworth, and most importantly Kenneth E. Hagin.Kenneth E. Hagin is known to have said that the things of the spirit will be lost to a generation except they are taught. This is our motivation in putting this material together.It will serve to help the Bible teacher, the Bible student, and of course, every church that is pursuing the gifts and the things of the spirit like Paul instructed in the following texts: 1st Corinthians 12:31 But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way1st Corinthians 14:1 Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy... Vs 39 Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues.So therefore, take your writing materials, sit down, relax and have a great time as we study through questions and answers on the Gifts of the Spirit.We trust that this will overwhelm your mind and be a blessing to your world. I remain Multidimensionally Yours, Chris 'Segun Onayinka.

1 Peter 2:9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light;Peter identifies our identity, points us who we are, and then gives us a purpose to pursue and live for.The core of this book deals with the concept of Holiness that maybe, some might be missing out in their theology. Holiness goes just beyond a sense of moral uprightness, even though it is a fabric of holiness. Holiness fundamentally in scripture deals with how we are called out, given an identity and to pursue a purpose that is unique, only to God and his plans in the earth.In this book, we deal with very practical things in how the believer's worldview, and definitely, the preacher of the gospel's must emerge from the scriptures - his study, meditation and practice of God's word.We trust that this book will also inspire local churches and ministries to stay with that unique identity that has been found in God's word, so as to fulfill his plans and purposes in the earth. We mustn't just know the plan of God, we must also pursue it the way he wants us to pursue it.This book highlights the identity of the believer, the identity of the church, the identity of the ministry of the gospel, and goes further to let us see what we are doing in this world, and how we must stay with that God-given purpose, and fulfill his plan in the earth. It sheds more light on this by explaining the essential truth about consistently renewing the mind, which is how we (believers) walk in the reality of who we are in Christ; how we conduct ourselves in our sanctification; righteousness and holiness in our various interactions across various spheres of human interaction on a daily basis.We believe that this will change the perception that many have about the church and the mission of the church in the earth. We look at our involvement in different spheres; commerce, politics, entertainment, sports etc. as believers carry out God's purpose and plans for him in the earth.So therefore, have a great time as we study together, "Not of This World" and change our world with our unique identity. I remain Multidimensionally Yours, Chris 'Segun Onayinka.

Here again is our addition, or should I say, intervention in helping many to interpret scriptures properly, precisely across all ages, cadres and status in society. As we have done in Volume 1, we have put together this material to answer questions on the minds of many on things they learnt, even from childhood about the scriptures, God and what he had done before, and what he might still be doing today. As we often say, where a scripture is misinterpreted, oftentimes a major truth is lost. Interpretation of scriptures is not something that should be taken at face value.Luke 24:27 And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself. The above text highlights how Jesus was very thorough in how he went through the scriptures, and opened the minds of his hearers. We trust that this book will do the same to all who read it. In looking at certain things within the scriptures, we have taken an advancement from the first volume to look at the cultural context and the language context of scriptures, such that we are not so far ahead in seeing the true nature of words used in the scriptures, the events that happened therein, and subsequently, God's actions within the body of scriptures. Very precisely is the fact that we have taken on the challenge on how the scriptures project the woman (women) in its world and in today's world. History and cultures the world over are replete with imageries, socially accepted norms and practices that reinforce a thinking that women and girls are to be seen, and not heard. In our world today, it has influenced the pursuit of careers or lack thereof and hugely limited the fullest expression of the potential of the girl child. She is sometimes told what she can/ cannot do because of her gender. It sometimes borders on being outrightly disrespectful and demeaning to box the woman/ girl child into a corner. Sometimes by looking around, lessons lying all around you seem to tell a different story. Girls have often bested boys in academic endeavours and in many other walks of life. Many of humanity's greatest feats have been championed by women. For equal measure, a woman's programming genius helped to put a man on the moon! Why then does the Bible have various accounts that seemingly reinforce the subjugation of women? This study answers these burning and valid questions and presents God's thoughts about humanity.We expect young and old not just to enjoy how this is put together, but also to get into the rigorous study of scriptures to come to the point of knowing God in true worship. Now, we believe that books should be written at this time to re-emphasise the truths of scriptures, but most importantly, to re-mentor, re-educate the young and the old, and particularly the old as well who have come up with certain beliefs that are myths, and not found within scriptures, and of course, the young who might have had those things passed across to them, and therefore have a total misconception of who God is, what he said, and what he might be saying today. We trust that this book will, as much as possible, take away such misconceptions as we have put this together in the most readable language possible, definitely having a scholastic touch because it will require that the reader takes it beyond a face value reading of scriptures, but goes through the texts appropriately to come to the truth of God's word in its wholesomeness.We trust that this will open the minds of many and open the vistas of the true worship of God in the hearts of many in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. So, get ready and have a great time, in your study and worship of God as you read "My Book of Bible Stories (Volume 2)" I remain Multidimensionally Yours, Chris 'Segun Onayinka.

This is the second paperback part of the same book "Understandest Thou What Thou Readest Volume 3" which was divided into three paperback parts (only on Amazon) due to the bulk number of pages. It is a continuation in our Bible interpretation series. A book on Bible Interpretation (Volume 3). "Luke 24:25-27, we see that the fulcrum of Jesus' teaching in that context and scenario was to revisit the Old Testament- what we refer to in our books as reading backwards.Go back and read it again and maybe if we look at the incidence of his encounter that he had with his disciples in the room, where he not just explained the Old Testament but showed them a connection between everything he said, taught and did in the 4 gospels with the Old Testament altogether.And therefore we submit in our book here that the Old Testament and the New Testament are not at cross purposes, neither are they contrasts.Of course, I carefully use the term 'Old Testament/ New Testament' looking at the modern day mode of compilation of the books, but in essence we have just one singular covenant and testament running from Genesis through to the book of Revelation.

A follow -up to our earlier book"Leading of The Spirit" (published 2017)Which deals with details of how God communicates His plans and how we distinguish between His and our plans.Is there a plan of God for me?Does God have a plan for my Nation?What's his plan for me in the ministry?We shall explore time and purpose in How this plan is followed..All these and more ...

"Making Disciples is at the core of Christian living. In what is usually termed "The Great Commission," Jesus commands the 12 and arguably many more, who were his disciples to go into all the world and make disciples of every nation. In our study of scriptures, we have found out that this call and commission is not peculiar to the 12, it actually predates even the incarnation of Christ himself. This book will be an additional material that is not only expressive but also exegetical and practical for all Christian ministries who are in this art of discipling men for Christ.In our combined years of ministry as a local church, in pastoring and planting churches in places, we have found out a few things in practical experience which highlight the theology of scripture, this we bring to bear in the way these truths are being presented.We trust that local churches, ministries and Pastors who are involved in the vision and Commission that Jesus gave to the 12, and definitely the Body of Christ will find this material very useful to give information and for those who are very experienced, to further buttress what they are doing and teaching presently.We trust the Lord that this material and the information it holds will inspire discipleship, strengthen disciples and cause local churches to be stronger than they were before we released this book. We trust God that the light will flood many churches, many homes, many cell groups, many fellowships all over the world as we breed strong disciples for our Lord Jesus Christ.So, sit back, take your study materials with you as we read and study through the Old Testament books and the New Testament books on "How to make Disciples."

The subject of holiness looked a bit untaken care of in many climes. With the recent advent in the media of "the grace message", the conundrum about this subject has since been rearing its head.-Is holiness a conduct? -Why did peter write "Be ye Holy"?-Why did the writer of the book of Hebrews say "without holiness no man can see the Lord"?All these are questions which we shall dispatch with the theologian's tools of proper Bible study and interpretation.We shall investigate holiness in the Old and New Testaments books of the Bible and provide Biblical answers in all the seeming unclear texts and set the believer on course in his understanding and practice of Biblical holiness.

Many hardly can differentiate some very vital concepts taught in the Scriptures. Forgiveness is one of such.- What does it mean? - Why does God forgive?- Why did Jesus die?- What's the shedding of blood?- Why is the offering of animals unnecessary today?- Is everyone in the world today forgiven?These questions are fundamental to Christianity. Forgiveness of sins is the map reader of the Scriptures, the navigation of its essence. It must be understood. Thus, in the Light of much divergence and mix up in details of the concept of forgiveness of sins, we have set out in this work to settle every or as many known conundrums in this regard. We pray you the reader fully grasp the reality of forgiveness of sins in Christ.

This book answers many probing questions about what the "promise of the father "is What did Jesus mean by being " clothed upon "Is this Baptism same as what's said in the epistles What happened in the Book of acts It's a prelude to an upcoming apologia "The Charismatic Ministry - a defence "

"In recent times, the whole world has witnessed a very strange occurrence; a pandemic that practically shut down the whole world. Churches at this instance were either forced, compelled or made to hold their services in ways other than physical gatherings. Somewhat, it appears that there seems to be a theology that has evolved from this occurrence. Many have started advocating for what is known as the virtual gathering of saints, with good intentions I believe. But oftentimes things that lead to error could be paved with good intentions. The road to such perfidy if at all, or such abnormality could equally have been paved with good intentions. "Is there an online, virtual church inscribed on the pages of the scriptures?"Some will readily say that there was no online technology so we can't say but definitely no one will say that there was no technology at all. We can ask, what role did the technology of their day play in the constitution of the local church and the churches in those Bible times? Those are the issues we seek to explore in this material.Theology must not be made to be subservient to the whims and caprices of the present times or become expedient such that incidences, occurrences and events begin to shape our view of scriptures. This is the heart-cry of this short and incisive material but we trust God to answer the questions.When Jesus founded a church both in Matthew 16 and instructions in Matthew 18, did it give allowances and permission for an online, non-physical gathering of saints that equally should be called church. This we trust will be our study together with every reader as we go through Old Testament books; scriptures of the prophets, the 4 gospels, the Book of Acts and the epistles.We have also added historical and statistical facts to help us see the possibility and scriptural validity of what is today called 'The Online Church."Once again, arm yourselves with your regular study materials and let us study through the scriptures as we find out whether there is truly an online church.

The concept of the christian and the politician is such that it has been met with many debates. It always has opinions from one school of thought or the other. Some literally are asking why and whether a christian should be involved in politics, that is, in the process that leads to the different events of governance in society. Others have said that without political offices at all, the church has a role to influence the society by influencing the government. With this comes the oftentimes misplaced emphasis on the monarchy in scripture, or let's say the political systems found in the scriptures of the prophets.Today in the 21st Century, we are faced with the challenge of being able to interpret those events of scripture vis-a-vis things that are happening right before us today. I for one, having had my own experience in politics, and definitely not aspiring for a political office but involved both in the process of voting and also helping others to be voted for, belonging to political parties, having to subscribe with ideologies which sometimes might not be wholesale in agreement with yours. How should a Christian therefore handle this aspect of human existence?Should a Christian totally avoid politics or should a Christian get involved and to what extent? What should be the role of a believer if at all he finds a leeway or a door to be involved in the politics or political governance of the society. These are the issues that we choose to look at in this material. The scriptures definitely have enough light and understanding on virtually every aspect of human endeavour and sociology, socialisation and politics is one of such. If the scriptures give us instructions on marriage, how to treat kings, how to treat royals and nobles, then definitely the scriptures are not quiet on what politics should be to us and how we should relate and be involved in such issues. This material will seek to look at the kingdom of God, the kingdoms of men and how government is to be seen from the perspective of the gospel.We trust that this book will help believers; particularly those who have political aspirations to know the roles that politics and secular governance are given to in scripture and how a believer should comport himself, if at all he is permitted by scriptures, his conscience or by his belief systems to be involved in the field of politics. We trust that this will be an answer to the questions in the hearts of many as they seek whether to see believers in politics as true christians or whether they themselves should aspire to political offices. We trust that our eyes will open to God's word at the instance of this book and our minds will be enlightened. Once again, sit back with all your study materials as we journey together through the scriptures as we look at the christian faith and politics.

"Some will assert that what we have in the Old Testament was what God 'was' whilst what we have in the New Testament is what he 'is' now. That leaves the very crucial question: 'Are we sure of what he will be tomorrow?'Where did this disconnect come from?How did Jesus explain Luke 24:25-27, 44-49 as one pointing to himself? If the message of the Scriptures was about himself and he (Jesus) is God as affirmed (not only by the eyewitnesses but from Scriptures prophesied and fulfilled), then is there a difference between Jesus in the Four Gospels and God as spoken of in the Old Testament writings?Could the New Testament writers have explained from the Old Testament writings and yet assert differently from what was written in certain portions of the same books?If it is true that all the Old Testament writings are inspired by God, then, there is the need to find out if there is a disconnect at all or why there should not be one at all.This is the basis of the 'THIS IS OUR GOD' series."This is our God - His wrath (2020

The book "Evangelism Everyday" like the others in the Everyday series brings to our attention salient points for the believer to note on the subject of evangelism every day. Each day brings the instructions of Jesus to fore on how this responsibility accrues to every believer. Paramount in this book is the fact that the task of evangelism is a responsibility that every believer must be involved in. The book helps us to see that evangelism is not a choice, or an activity you get involved in as a hobby, rather it should be seen as important as God sees it - the lives of men being of utmost importance to God. It encompasses all the information about evangelism that the believer must know - broken down into daily portions such that at the completion of the book, the believer is equipped with all the information necessary to get into the task of active evangelism and he knows the reason why he must. The book seeks to correct the impression that evangelism does not just entail preaching to the lost and moving on - there are yet many facts to know and be established in. It is expected that after reading this book (repeatedly), the believer is much more convinced that the plan of God for the whole earth is for the gospel to reach the world. He knows how to pray for the unsaved and when the man is saved, he knows how to get the believer established in the local church. We do hope that the body of Christ sees the book as a reminder of the words of Jesus in the closing parts of the 4 gospels and the practice of the apostles in the Book of Acts and the instructions of the apostles in the Epistles.Get your study materials ready, and your godly attitude towards God's Word as we journey through the scriptures, as we unravel to every believer, Evangelism Everyday. I remain multidimensionally yours, Chris 'Segun Onayinka.

This is a continuation in our Bible interpretation series. However, it's to provide a textual exegetical tool in the "THIS IS OUR GOD" series .It will outlay the relationship the Old Testament texts have with the New Testament.A book on Bible Interpretation (Volume 3). "Luke 24:25-27, we see that the fulcrum of Jesus' teaching in that context and scenario was to revisit the Old Testament- what we refer to in our books as reading backwards.Go back and read it again and maybe if we look at the incidence of his encounter that he had with his disciples in the room, where he not just explained the Old Testament but showed them a connection between everything he said, taught and did in the 4 gospels with the Old Testament altogether.And therefore we submit in our book here that the Old Testament and the New Testament are not at cross purposes, neither are they contrasts.Of course, I carefully use the term 'Old Testament/ New Testament' looking at the modern day mode of compilation of the books, but in essence we have just one singular covenant and testament running from Genesis through to the book of Revelation.

Assembly was a crucial part of the history of scriptures.The Old Testament was written to assemblies.The Epistles were written to churches (assemblies).Hence the need to know the What, How and Why.This book is meant to be a guide albeit a Scripturally-researched one in our knowledge of the blessedness of the local church."How to be a blessing" is a follow-up book to an earlier written one, "An Assembly Required."This will give further direction in what it takes to give your local church the advantage of your membership.Things to avoid. What and what not to do.

This is pure theology- in writing With an attempt to solve via every legitimate hermeneutic certain troubling questions on salvation Is the doctrine of "Eternal Security " valid Did the apostles teach it?When is a man saved What truly happens at salvation With studies all the way from Genesis to the book of revelation, we believe all such conundrums will be well sortedThis is a detailed and lucid presentation of the subject of salvation. From a sound tone of the essence of diligence in Bible study set in its introduction to clear-cut explanations of Bible texts, a reader is intimated with the "action of salvation" and its Actor, (the Saviour) Jesus Christ. It is received solely by believing what Christ did through his death, burial and resurrection and results in man having eternal life.

This piece is basically a theological response to many perplexing questions on the role of the woman in the work of the ministry Can women be ordained into ministry?Should women be allowed to pastor ?Can women teach men the gospel?Did Paul give any instructions for women not to teach?Should a woman cover her hair in gatheringsWhat about jewellery and trousers?All these and more in this over 300-page teaching material

A simple book to give practical yet sound truth in the art of 'discipling' of new Believers.It will help all church workers on and in the art of following up new believers.
