Therefore Jesus said again: I tell you the truth, I am the gate for the sheep. (John 10:7). In the sheep pen, the shepherd functioned as a gate, letting the sheep in & protecting them. Jesus is the gate to God's salvation for us. He offers access to safety & security. Christ is our protector. He gives us maximum protection & security. He keeps us where satan cannot touch us. If you are saved & stay connected to God, you are safe. You will enjoy this maximum protection & security I am talking about. The only way you can lose it, is if you yourself allow satan to gain entry into your life. The Lord will respect your personal will. Otherwise, we are protected & secured by the blood of Jesus & the fire of the Holy Spirit. Some people resent that Jesus is the gate, the only way of access to God. But Jesus is God's Son - why should we seek any other way or want to customize a different approach to God? The Kingdom of God is not a matter of talk, but of power. (1 Corinthians 4:20). Those who resent that Jesus is the only way of access to God should make a rethink. The Kingdom of God is not a matter of talk, but of power. It is not merely theory, but practical. God provides the PROOF at all times. If you are true to God, you will DEMONSTRATE the Spirit's POWER under challenge like what Elijah did to the prophets of Baal. Demons will fear you & will announce you. Your life will change to be holy. Your language will change to be godly. You will speak the language of the Bible, words which heal, build, comfort, strengthen, encourage; words which are full of faith & which gives grace to those who hear them. Your mind will be renewed. You will think godly thoughts. Your mind will be set on things in Heaven above & not on earthly things. The fruit of the Spirit will increase in your life. Love, joy, peace, patience, goodness, gentleness, kindness, faithfulness & self control will increase in your life. You will not fear satan or any opposition. You will be bold & courageous. You will preach the Word of God amid opposition.  God will work with you & confirm His Word with miracles, signs & wonders.  God will perform miracles by your hands. The glory of the Lord will increase in your life. You will be loving, peaceful, humble, gentle, self disciplined, & full of God's grace & power. Jesus will fill you with faith, wisdom & revelation. Christianity is about a changed life. Whoever accepts Jesus as Lord & Saviour of His life will have His life changed as mentioned above. If you are not changing & you are a Christian, if you are not growing to be Christlike, may be you have not made a genuine confession, or you are now in a backslidden state. Backsliding does not mean that you are no longer in the church. You can be in the church system but in a backslidden state. The spiritual growth, the miracles, the answered prayers & the flow in & through your life of God's power, wisdom & revelation will not be your portion. You may be a member of the church, yes, but you are not believing God & His Word. You are not true to God. Unbelief is sin. How do you bounce back to God? Rededicate your life to God through Jesus Christ & be genuine, your life will change to be like Christ. Here you are, Christ is the Son of God & He provides the PROOF in us that He is truly God's Son. He has changed my life, He answers all my prayers, gives me surpassing grace, surpassing power, surpassing revelations. He gives me supernatural provision. I live a life of holiness, etc. He has made me a true Christian & a moving Bible. He can do the same with you. Thank you Jesus. Good morning Holy Spirit. Prayer: Father, I thank you for Jesus. Thank you for giving us a revelation of yourself. Thank you for transforming our lives & renewing our minds. Thank you for giving us the grace to INTERNALIZE  the Gospel. Thank you for changing our attitudes, focus & motives to be Christ  centered. Thank you for entrusting us with your power, wisdom & revelation. Thank you for helping us to win souls for the Kingdom of God. Thank you for protecting & securing us by the blood of Jesus & the fire of the Holy Spirit. Thank you for giving us supernatural provision. In Jesus mighty name we pray, & give you thanks, 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...
