He did not enter by means of the blood of goats & calves; but He entered the Most Holy Place once for all by His own blood, having obtained eternal redemption. The blood of goats & bulls & the ashes of a heifer sprinkled on those who are ceremonially unclean sanctify them so that they are outwardly clean. How much more, then, will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself unblemished to God, cleanse our consciences from acts that lead to death, so that we may serve the living God! (Hebrews 9:12-14). Though you know Christ,  you may believe that you have to work hard to make yourself good enough for God. But rules & rituals have never cleansed people's hearts. God is more interested in the condition of our hearts. Scripture says: Blessed are the pure in heart for they will see God. By Jesus blood alone: We have our consciences cleansed; we are freed from death's sting & can live to serve God; & we are freed from sins power. The urge to sin is removed. If you are carrying a load of guilt because you are finding that you can't be good enough for God, take another look at Jesus' & what it means for you. Christ can heal your conscience  & deliver you from the frustration of trying to earn God's favor. When the people sacrificed animals, God considered the peoples faith & obedience,  cleansed them from sin, & made them ceremonially acceptable according to the Old Testament law. But Christ's sacrifice transforms our lives & heart & makes us clean on the inside. His sacrifice is infinitely more effective than animal sacrifices. No barrier of sin or weakness on our part can stifle His forgiveness. The Holy Spirit helped Jesus in the atoning & redemption work. Thank you Jesus. Good morning Holy Spirit. Prayer: I pray for someone today. I want you to be totally free as you start this new year : Be freed in the name of Jesus. That oppression is gone. That sickness & disease is healed. You are delivered from that affliction, in Jesus name. I decree: You are free, healed, delivered & blessed in Jesus name. Counsel: Sin no more. Get connected to God through Christ & stay connected to Him. Grace & peace be with you.

 Business God's Way: During this annual shutdown for most businesses,  i urge you to rest, have quality time with the family & connect with God. Go for a holiday with the family if you can afford. After that, spend some quality time with God in a quiet place for an hour or so & seek His guidance. Carry your note pad & write the points down. Read your Bible, do meditation & pray. Present your plans to the Lord for the coming year & let Him approve them in His own time & in His own way. Be calm, quiet & composed, in order to hear that small still voice, gentle whisper from God. Result: The voice of God will give you guidance & direction for the coming year 2023. If things have not been okay with you in business, the Lord will enable you to have peace & joy in the midst of such storms. He will give you a way out. Do not panic no matter what comes your way. Remain focused on the perfomance & growth of your business. Do not murmur or complain...

 Truly I say to you, unless you change & become like little children, you will never enter the Kingdom of God. (Mathew 18:3).  The verse above is talking about a changed life. Christianity is about a changed life. What is Christianity? It is a relationship with God through His holy Son, Jesus Christ. Christianity is not a religion, though we have created Christian religion in the church today. Christianity is not an organization, it is an organism, a living thing. Our God is alive. Jesus is alive. God raised Him from the dead. He is seated with the Father on the throne of God's grace. The bones of all the founding fathers of religion are still in their graves, but the tomb of Jesus Christ is empty. The founding fathers of religion died & never rose up. Religion, because it is a mixture of God's laws & man made rules, does not make anyone righteous. It makes the people RELIGIOUS. Only Jesus Christ makes us righteous.How do we become righteous? We need to accept Jesu...

 They have greatly oppressed me from my youth - let Israel say - they have greatly oppressed me from my youth but they have not gained victory over me. (Psalm 129:1-2). No weapons formed against me shall prosper. The devil has been fighting me from my youth. He for years struck me with terrible & terminal sicknesses, but God healed me. I missed death on three occasions, in 1986, 1995 & 1997 but God delivered me from the spirit of death. God did not end there, He has given me divine health. Over the years I faced extreme hardships & lack. But God has shown His great mercy & grace to us. There is not even a day that we slept without having food. The Lord was faithful to provide to us.The devil fought me for decades of years. He has tried every trick in his book in a bid to stop this ministry that you see today. But God was faithful to me. He used the situation as the REFINERS FIRE - to refine me, change me & to prepare me for this God moment. Look at the result: G...
