Therefore, among God's churches we boast about your perseverance & faith in all the persecutions & trials you are enduring.  (2Thessalonians 1:4). The key to surviving persecution & trials are perseverance & faith. If we are living right with God, when we are faced with crushing troubles, deadly perils, etc, we can have faith that God is using our trials for our good & for His glory. Knowing that God is just, fair, etc, will give us patience in our suffering because we know that He has not forgotten us. In God's perfect timing, He will relieve our suffering  & punish those who persecute us. Can you trust God's timing? As for me, I do. I have gone through a lot of suffering, persecution,  rejection, meeting deadly perils, etc, for being a true Christian & for the dream that God gave me in 1988. I have been waiting for fulfilment of the dream in the attitude of faith, true worship, & obedience. Father i give You praise & all the glory. These three are key if we are going to be fruitful Christians & walk humbly with the Lord. Thank you Jesus. Good morning Holy Spirit.  Prayer:  Father, I pray for all Christians who are going through trials & tests. I believe that Your Word delivers. I pray that if it is your will to deliver them FROM the situation, go ahead & do so. We give you praise, glory & thanks. If it is your will to deliver them THROUGH the situation, I pray that you give them the strength, grace, etc, to go through the situation to Your glory. We also give you the praise, glory & thanks. Your will is only what I seek to do always in my life, family, & ministry. Thank you for hearing & answering my prayer. Send your angels to help minister to their needs. In Jesus mighty name we pray, believe, & give you thanks, Amen. God bless you all.

 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...
