When Jesus had called the twelve together, He gave them power & authority to drive out all demons & to cure diseases, & He sent them out to preach the Kingdom of God & to heal the sick. (Luke 9:1-2). Jesus announced His Kingdom by both preaching & healing. If He had limited Himself to preaching, people might have seen His Kingdom as spiritual only. On the other hand, if He had healed without preaching, people might not have realized the spiritual importance of His mission. Most of His listeners expected a Messiah who would bring wealth & power to their nation; they preferred material benefits to spiritual discernment. The truth about Jesus is that He is both God & man, both spiritual & physical; & the salvation that He offers is both for the soul & body. We must live holy lives. We must be crucified with Christ & live this this short life on earth for Him. We must heal the sick, raise the dead, open up blind eyes, deliver the afflicted & oppressed.  Christianity is about a CHANGED life. It is about DEMONSTRATING the Spirit's power. The Bible says: The Kingdom of God is not a matter of talk, but of power. Any group or teaching that emphasizes soul at the expense of body, or body at the expense of soul, is in danger of distorting  Jesus' Good News. Thank you Jesus. Good morning Holy Spirit. Prayer: Father, today's church is preferring material benefits to spiritual discernment. This is not consistent with the Scriptures. It needs deliverance. I rebuke the spirit behind this situation in the name of Jesus Christ. You spirit, release your hold on the church of God worldwide, in Jesus name. I loose the power of God, the power of deliverance into this situation & set God's people free in Jesus name. I declare in the name of Jesus Christ: You are free. You are delivered, in Jesus name. Father, let revival gather momentum.  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...
