Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners - of whom I am the worst. (1 Timothy 1:15). Here Paul summarizes the good news: Jesus came into the world to save sinners, & no sinner is beyond His saving power. Jesus didn't come merely to show us how to live a better life or to challenge us to be better people. He came to offer us salvation  that leads to eternal life. Have you accepted His offer? Paul calls himself the worst of sinners. We think of Paul as a great hero of the faith, but Paul never saw himself that way, because he remembered his life before he met Christ. Paul understood & appreciated God's grace. In 1 Corinthians 15:10 he said:  By the grace of God i am what I am, & His grace to me was not without effect. No, I worked harder than all of them - yet, not I, but the grace of God that was with me. Humility & gratitude should mark the life of every Christian. Never forget that you too are a sinner saved by grace. If you are not yet connected to Christ: Accept Jesus Christ as Lord & Saviour of your life. Confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord & believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead you will be saved. Counsel: If you have done this, do just these three things:

* Get a Bible or download it & read a few verses from it daily & think deeply about them. Start with the Gospel of John, it is in the New Testament. At this stage i want you to have a Bible reading & meditation of the Word culture. 

* Pray everyday. Prayer is talking to God in the same way you talk to your friends. It is also a relationship with God through Jesus Christ.

* Look for a Bible believing church & go there for fellowship & encouragement.  The pastor will help you further. Thank you Jesus. Good morning Holy Spirit. Statement Prayer: I pray for someone today. The Lord has forgiven your sins. Sin no more in Jesus name. 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...
