For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form, & you have been given fullness in Christ, who is head over every power & authority.  (Colossians 2:9-10). Paul asserts Christ's deity. In Christ all the fulness of the deity lives in bodily form means that all of God was in Christ's human body. He was fully human & fully God. He was not just a good man or a prophet as some religions try to make Him as. When we have Christ, we have everything we need for salvation & right living. When we know Christ, we don't need to seek God by means of other religions, cults, unbiblical philosophies  as the Colossians were doing. Christ alone holds the answers to the true meaning of life, because He is the life. He is the only way to God , the Father. Christ is the unique source of knowledge & power for the Christian life. No Christian needs anything in addition  to what Christ has provided to be saved. We are complete in Him. Thank you Jesus. Good morning Holy Spirit. Prayer: Lord Jesus, thank you for this revelation:  When we know Christ we have everything we need for salvation & right living. We can be righteous, holy, pure. We can be perfect in the eyes of God. We are complete in Christ. Deliver us from average mentality that no one is perfect. Mathew 5:48 says: Be perfect,  therefore, as Your Heavenly Father is perfect. God was not out of His mind when He asked us to be perfect.  He knows that our perfection is in Christ.  Our righteousness is in Christ. Thank you Jesus once again,  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...
