I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession & thanksgiving be made for everyone - for kings & all those in authority, that we live peaceful & quiet lives in all godliness & holiness. (1 Timothy 2:1-2). Although God is all powerful & all knowing, He has chosen to let us help Him change the world through our prayers. How this works is a mystery to us because of our limited understanding, but it is a reality. Paul urges us to pray for each other & for our leaders in government. I urge you to pray for: your lives, families, ministries, the church worldwide,  businesses, all nations across the world, peace, the joy of the Lord, His presence, glory, the Holy Spirit, protection & security of all children of God, forgiveness, loving God wholeheartedly & loving each other deeply, righteousness leading to holiness, salvation of souls, healing of people from all sicknesses & diseases, deliverance from our afflictions &/or oppressive situations, release of blessings,  opportunities, destiny helpers, ministers of the Gospel, etc, etc. You may not pray for all in one moment but you can select a few today, a few tomorrow, & so forth. Prayer changes things. Prayer shifts the focus. Prayer moves mountains.  Pray without ceasing.  Live righteous lives for your prayers to be powerful & effective.  Your righteous life gives your words greater impact. Thank you Jesus. Good morning Holy Spirit. Prayer: Father, help us to pray continually & not to faint. Help us to be persistent in our prayers where the situation demands so. Help us to pray in faith & in the name & authority of Jesus Christ, for our prayers to get to You & to be answered. Help us to pray Your will at all times.  Help us to live righteous lives leading to holiness. 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...
