Because our Gospel came to you not simply with words, but also with power, with the Holy Spirit, & with deep conviction. You know how we lived among you for your sake. (1 Thessalonians 1:5). The Gospel came with power. The Kingdom of God is not a matter of talk but of power. When we preach the Word, the Holy Spirit will demonstrate His power. Demons are casted out, the dead are raised to life, blind eyes are opened, the lame walk, the deaf hear, the mute talk. Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty or freedom. Christianity is not a collection of interesting facts, it is the power of God to everyone who believes. The Holy Spirit changes people when they believe the Gospel. When we tell others about Christ, we must depend on the Holy Spiirit to open their eyes & convince them that they need salvation. God's power changed people - not our cleverness or persuasion. The Thessalonians could see that what Paul, Silas & Timothy were preaching was true because these men LIVED it. Does your life confirm or contradict what you say you believe? Thank you Jesus. Good morning Holy Spirit. Prayer: Father, help us to live the Word, to live holy lives. Whenever we tell others about Christ,  let the Holy Spirit work with us. Let Him open their eyes & convince them that they need salvation.  We believe that without the work of the Holy Spirit, our words are meaningless. The Holy Spirit not only convicts people of sin, but He also assures them of the truth of the Gospel. Thank you Father for hearing & answering my prayer.  In Jesus mighty name we pray & believe,  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...
