Being fully persuaded that God had power to do what He had promised. (Romans 4:21). Abraham never doubted that God would fulfil His promise. Abraham's life was marked by mistakes, sins & failures as well as by wisdom & goodness, but he constantly trusted God. His faith was strengthened by the obstacles he faced, & his life was an example of faith in action. Abraham looked to God, obeyed Him, & waited for God to fulfil his Word. What does faith entail? Faith is all about about believing God & His Word. You dont know how it will happen, but you are fully convinced, fully persuaded that God will make it happen. How do we get faith? Faith comes by hearing the Word of God. In faith, we take God at His Word, always believing that He is able to do what He said in His Word that He would do. Is faith important in the Kingdom of God? Yes, the Kingdom of God operates on the basis of faith. Without faith, we cannot receive anything from God. Faith is like the trading currency of God's Kingdom. Without it you cannot transact. Faith connects us to God. Without faith, you cannot be connected. Faith pleases God. The Bible says: It is impossible to please God without faith. We are saved by grace through faith. We are made righteous by faith. We receive healing & all the other benefits of our salvation by faith. We walk by faith & not by sight. Is there any kind of faith that God desires us to have? Yes, God wants us to have faith that works through love. Why love? Because God is love. Anyone who loves has been born of God & knows God. Faith is Word based. It acts strictly on the Word of God. It influences God to act. Let us stand on the authority & promises of the Word of God. Thank you Jesus. Good morning Holy Spirit.  Prayer: Father, my Father, remove all forms of doubt from our lives. Develop faith in us & strengthen it with your Word & through the challenges that we face daily. Help us to be doers of the Word of God. Help our unbelief. Remove all forms of fear in us by loving God & others deeply. The Bible says: Perfect love casteth out fear. Fill us with your Holy Spirit. He is a Spirit of love. If we claim to have the Holy Spirit but do not have love for God & others, we are FAKE. The truth is not in us. Love is one of the characteristics of the Holy Spirit. Grant us unshakable faith. Let our faith moves mountains.  Let our faith overcome sin, satan & the world. 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...
