Ptra. Zarah Jane E. Lim January 12, 2014

Now it is required that those who have been given a trust must prove faithful.

1 Corinthians 4:2

Colossians 1:25-28 (NASB)

Of this church I was made a minister according to the stewardship from God bestowed on me for your benefit, so that I might fully carry out the preaching of the word of God, 26 that is, the mystery which has been hidden from the past ages and generations, but has now been manifested to His saints,

Colossians 1:25-28 (NASB)

to whom God willed to make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. 28 We proclaim Him, admonishing every man and teaching every man with all wisdom, so that we may present every man complete in Christ.

Colossians 2:2-3
that their hearts may be encouraged, having been knit together in love, and attaining to all the wealth that comes from the full assurance of understanding, resulting in a true knowledge of Gods mystery, that is, Christ Himself, 3 in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.

5 Keys to Unleash the POWER in You
