Making Spiritual Progress Volume 4

The Complete Works of Zacharias Tanee Fomum on Prayer (Volume 4) contains the following books: 1) Revolutionary Thoughts on Prayer (Volume 3) 2) Women of the Glory (Volume 1) 3) The Centrality of Prayer 4) Revolutionary Thoughts on fasting 5) From His Prayer Files “Life-Changing Thoughts on Prayer” (Revolutionary Thoughts on Prayer) will produce a revolution in your life concerning your personal prayer vision. It will bring you to see the inadequacy of your perception of prayer. It will push you to want to know and to experience prayer with the author as He travels with Christ around the world in the School and Ministry of Prayer. Women of the glory, such as, in this case, Anna the prophetess, come into the scene to demonstrate that you cannot love the Lord deeply and not be a person of prayer. The place of prayer is the place where the deepest love for the Lord is expressed. A lover who does not live a life of deep and desperate prayer is not a lover, but a liar. A lover who does not habitually go away from the din and dance of the world to commune with his Lord in prayer is not a lover, but a theoretician. The centrality of prayer cannot be overemphasised. Every work of God that is started continued and perpetuated without prayer may end up being a work of the enemy. Prayer must be at the centre of every work of God that will endure. That work is begun in prayer, continued in prayer, sustained in prayer, and finished to completion in prayer. While prayer is central to the accomplishment of God’s purposes, fasting is an acute weapon that the enemy dreads the most. An empty stomach in the presence of God gnaws, paws and gores the enemy terribly. It moves God and the hosts of heaven to siege the enemy, dismantle his setups, confound his counsel and release captives from their hands. In this volume, you will travel through time with the author in his prayer life. You will experience the daily prayer habits that have been cultivated with time. We send this fourth prayer volume out with a cry to the Lord that He should use it to lead the saints into practical praying and fasting, and that prayer should, long, at last, take its central position in the life, affairs, and destiny of every believer in Christ.

The Complete Works of Zacharias Tanee Fomum on Leadership (Volume 4) contains the following books: Laws of Spiritual Leadership The Ministers and Ministry of the New Covenant You, Your Team and Your Ministry Leading a Local Church, (Volume 1) Making Spiritual Progress, (Volume 2) Spiritual leadership does not happen by accident. It is not a haphazard thing. There is a science behind spiritual leadership. Travel with the author through this systematic science outlined in the laws of spiritual leadership. While following this sweet science of leadership, do not forget to take care of the horse that is drawing the cart. If the cart is taken so much care of and none is given to the horse, the horse may get sick and die, and the cart will no longer be drawn, and the journey will stall. The leader must take care of his body to keep it fit for service. The apostle Paul says, “For physical training is of some value...” (1 Timothy 4:8a). He must take care of his soul, spirit and heart to keep them in Christ (Philippians 4:7). The author tacitly brings into the equation how to lead a local church. When the Good Samaritan offered first aid to the man who was attacked and severely wounded by armed robbers on the highway from Jerusalem to Jericho, he did not leave him there. He took him to an inn where they took proper care of him over a long period of time. The local church is the best place where to keep your people safe as you lead them toward destiny. It is the surest and most secure place on planet Earth where to retain the people as you lead them into God’s purposes. Why? Rage as they may, the gates of hell cannot, and can never, overcome the church (Matthew 16:18). We send this fourth volume on leadership out with a cry to the Lord that He should use it to build many into leaders of His people capable of leading them into the totality of His purposes in this generation and beyond.

This is a book with a practical message for the new convert, older believers and even leaders that will help each one of them to grow more and more in their walk with the Lord, and to rise to great heights with the Lord. In its preface, the author Z.T. Fomum specifies that these are eleven messages given to the church in Rixheim (France), during their spiritual retreat in July 1989. This book is about the basic lessons for any believer who wants to grow in his walk with the Lord, to be all that the Lord wants him to be, in order to rise beyond the limitations generally brought about by mediocrity.

If someone comes and tells you, “I am a disciple of the Lord Jesus. Teach me to observe all that the Lord has commanded; make me into a disciple and into a maker of disciples,” what do you do? This critically important book is a statement of the revelations, doctrines, methods, and principles of discipleship aimed at helping anyone to experience discipleship and thereby lead others to grow in a way to become active workers in making others into disciples of Jesus Christ. It is a book to read and recommend to any servant of God cognizant of the glorious mission that the Lord Jesus Christ has entrusted to His church: "Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations …" We pray that as you go through it, you may be blessed in helping others to enter into deep fellowship both with the Lord and with His people.

Making Spiritual Progress (Volume 4) is a record of messages given during the teaching ministry of the church in Yaounde (Cameroon) between 1985 and 1986. In this book, Zacharias Tanee Fomum, in his exhaustive study of the Bible and a lifetime of labor in the Lord, is very clear on the following three broad subjects: The problem with denominational system, Fellowship in the Body of Christ, and The Local Church. He quotes extensively from Watchman Nee, who believed that there is but one Body of Christ in the universe. The obvious question that arises is, from the multitude of organizations that call themselves a church today, of which church then, should we be a part? You will find the answer in this book. The book equally discusses God's Universal Church and the local church - their establishment, membership, fellowship, functioning, leadership, and the relationship between local churches. It specifically describes what the Church is and what it isn't. It covers apostolic work, the form for local churches, and how the roles of elders, deacons, apostles, etc., fit into the church. We highly encourage every one who has ever wondered what the Body of Christ is, and why there are so many different "churches" today, to read this book. May the Lord grant you a vision to see His Body, and that you enter into deep fellowship both with Him and with His people.

The Complete Works of Zacharias Tanee Fomum on Leadership (Volume 5) contains the following books: Church Planting Strategies In the Crucible for Service Prerequisites for Spiritual Ministry Laws of Spiritual Success Making Spiritual Progress (Volume 3) This ecstatic and exciting volume opens with church planting strategies. These strategies for planting churches are many and varied. You cannot plant churches without seriously considering and deploying elements such as prayer, fasting, preaching, character, and service. It is not all the church planting strategies that you will apply in all situations. Every situation demands serious knowledge of the people involved, the setting, and the characteristics of the place. It also requires God’s specific instructions peculiar to the people or the place. Some people think that service is an easy thing. It may be simple, but it is not simplistic. Service is hard, hazardous but hope-bringing. That is why those who serve find themselves in a crucible in which they burn until they are brought out for their promotions. Are you ready to face your own fiery furnace? Are you ready to face your own lion’s den like Daniel? Are you ready to face a prison-like Joseph, son of Jacob? Are you ready to face your own cross like Jesus of Nazareth? If you fear fire, lions, prison, the cross, and such debilitating things, you fear leadership.

We often think of "spiritual growth" as a matter of behavior, but in reality spiritual growth is a matter of the heart. In Making Spiritual Progress Allen Ratta introduces a revolutionary system for monitoring your motivations—faith, hope and love, the virtues out of which spiritual growth grows.

In this four-volume boxset, Prof. Zacharias Tanee Fomum, in his exhaustive study of the Bible and a lifetime of labour in the Lord, delves into the following broad subjects: Making personal spiritual progress, Spiritual warfare through prayer and fasting, The being and the making of disciples, Laws of spiritual success, The normal church life and the Local Church. Fellowship in the Body of Christ, The problem with denominational systems, And much more. There are 39 messages in total. Volumes one and two are messages taught during a church retreat in Rixheim (France) in July 1989. Volumes three and four are a series of messages that were given during the teaching ministry of the church in Yaounde (Cameroon) between 1985 and 1986. Because the messages are here produced from recordings, they are not theological discussions, but words from a heart to hearts. We prayerfully and emphatically encourage everyone to read this book. May the Lord grant you a vision of His Body, and help you enter into deep fellowship both with Him and with His people.
