But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, now crowned with glory & honor because He suffered death, so that by the grace of God He might taste death for everyone. (Hebrews 2:9).  God put Jesus in charge of everything, & Jesus revealed Himself to us. We do not yet see Jesus reigning on earth, but we can picture Him in His Heavenly glory. When you are confused by the present events & anxious about the future, remember Jesus' true position & authority. He is Lord of all, & one day He will rule on earth as He does now in Heaven. This truth can give stability to your decisions day by day. God's grace led Christ to His death. Jesus did not come into the world to gain status or political power, but to suffer & die so that we could have eternal life, (bringing many sons to glory). To identify with Christ, we need to have a servant's attitude.  We must be servant's & not masters or bosses. We need to evaluate our MOTIVES:  Are we more interested in power or participation, domination or service, getting or giving? Food for thought. Good morning Holy Spirit. Prayer: Father, Jesus died for our sins so that You could forgive us, be reconciled to You & give us eternal life. May you give us the grace to produce fruit in keeping with our repentance.  Let Jesus increase in our lives & let us reduce. Help us to fix our eyes on Jesus. He is the author & finisher of our faith. Help us to be crucified with Him & to live this short life on earth for Him. Give us Christlike character.  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...
