As a prisoner for the Lord, then,  I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. Be completely humble & gentle; being patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. (Ephesians 4:1-3). God has chosen us to be Christ's representatives  on earth. In light of this truth, Paul challenges us to live lives worthy of the calling we have received - the awesome priviledge of being called Christ's very own. This includes being humble, gentle,  patient, understanding & peaceful. To build unity is one of the Holy Spirit's  important roles. He leads, but we have to be willing to be led & to do our part to keep the unity & peace. We do that by focusing on God, not on ourselves. The divisions in our churches are a sign that we are refusing to be led by the Holy Spirit. We are not cooperating with God. Remember, that people are watching your life. Can they see Christ in you? How well are you doing as His representative? If you have failed this test, do not condemn yourself, Jesus loves you. I love you as well. Repent, & live a live worthy of our calling. Thank you Jesus. Good morning Holy Spirit.  Prayer: Father, I pray for all the Christians today. Help us to live a life which is worthy of the calling we have received. Help us to produce fruit in keeping with our repentance.  Help us to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. Our desire  is to be like Christ; for people to see Christ in us when they watch us. Help us to represent You well in this age. Thank you Father for hearing & answering my prayer. Thank you for bringing a revival in our lives leading us to changed lives & renewed minds & attitudes. In Jesus mighty name we pray, believe, & give you thanks,  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...
