The former regulation is set aside because it was weak & useless (for the law made nothing perfect), & a better hope is introduced, by which we draw near to God. (Hebrews 7:18-19). The Law was not intended to save people, but to point out sin. (see Romans 3:20), & to point toward Christ. (see Galatians 3:24-25). Salvation comes through Christ, whose sacrifice brings forgiveness for our sins. Being ethical, working diligently to help others, & giving to charitable causes are all commendable, but all of our deeds cannot save us or make us right with God. There is a better hope. That hope is Jesus Christ. He is the Hope of glory. The new covenant is a better covenant because it allows men from every nation who fear God to go directly to Him through Christ. We no longer need to rely on sacrificed animals & mediating priests to obtain God's forgiveness.  This new covenant is better because, while all human priests die, Christ lives forever. Priests & sacrifices could not save people, but Christ truly saves. You have access to Christ. This new covenant is better because it includes us, the Gentiles as well. The old covenant was for the house of Israel & Judah only. Christ is available to you, do you go to Him with your needs? There is no need that He cannot supply. There is no problem that He cannot solve. There is no burden that He cannot lift up. There is no sickness that He cannot heal. He heals all diseases. With Him, all things are possible. I urge you to get connected to God through Christ & stay connected to Him. Prayer:  Father, thank you for incorporating us, the Gentiles, into the new covenant. Help us to have Christlike character so that we become a light to our families & the people at large. There are a lot of people sitting on the fence right now, when they see transformation in us & a renewed mind, they will follow our example as we follow the example of Christ. Holy Spirit, Holy Spirit, convict us in regard to sin, righteousness & judgement, change us, renew us, so that we become true to God; so that our lives will inspire others to get saved. Let our lives produce fruit in keeping with our repentance. 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...
