Keep yourselves free from the love of money & be content with what you have, because God has said: Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you. So we say with confidence: The Lord is my helper: I will not be afraid.  What can man do to me? (Hebrews 13:5-6). How can we learn to be content? Strive to live with less rather than desiring more; give away out of your abundance  rather than accumulating more; relish what you have rather than resent what you are missing. See God's love expressed in what He has provided,  & remember that money & possessions will all pass away. We become content when we realize God's sufficiency for our needs. Christians who become materialistic are saying by their actions that God can't take care of them - or at least that He won't take care of them the way they want. Insecurity can lead to the love of money, whether we are rich or poor. The only antidote is to trust God to meet all our needs. In this ministry that God has committed into my hands, the guiding factor is: Give more to the people & less for ourselves. As you do this, you remain content with what you have & the spirit of the love of money will not take hold of your life & ministry. Thank you Jesus. Good morning Holy Spirit. Prayer: Father, I pray that you help us to be content with what we have. To strike a balance, give us the grace to be generous givers, cheerful  givers, sacrificial givers, etc. We believe that as we become selfless, we will no longer be selfish, & we will be content with what we have. I pray that you forgive us for the time that we allowed the spirit of the love of money to be dominant in our lives. We repent of all such actions. I pray that you DISCONNECT us from that spirit in Jesus name. Remove the URGE to sin in Jesus name. Thank you Father for hearing & answering my prayer. In Jesus mighty name we pray & believe, Amen. 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...
