That servant who knows his master's will & does not get ready or does not do what his master wants will be beaten with many blows. But the one who does not know & does things deserving punishment will be beaten with few blows. From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; & from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked. (Luke 12: 47-48). Jesus told us how to live until He comes: we must watch for Him, work diligently & obey His commands. Such  attitudes are especially necessary for leaders. Watchful & faithful LEADERS will be given increased opportunities & responsibilities. Let me use myself as a practical example to strengthen this point: God has given me a BIG vision, many spiritual, motivational & ministry gifts. I have been blessed with MORE than enough spiritual gifts, grace & anointing. Because of this surpassing grace, surpassingly great revelations, all out surpassing power & wisdom, God has given me increased responsibilities & opportunities. Thank you Jesus. Blessed be your holy name. King of kings & Lord of lords. The Bright Morning Star & the root & offspring of David. My Rock, my refuge, my fortress, the horn of my salvation, my healer, my deliverer, my provider. Praise you Jesus. I owe it all to You. The more resources, talents, gifts, abilities & understanding we have, the more we are responsible to use them effectively. God will not hold us responsible for the gifts He has not given us, but all of us have enough gifts & duties to keep us busy until Jesus comes. Let us be devoted to prayer & to the ministry of the Word as we wait for His return. Let us worship God in spirit & in truth. Let us serve God in love, humility, simplicity, for the glory of God & with a whole hearted devotion. Pray His will continually & in faith. Why? Faith connects us to God. Faith pleases God. Faith influences God to ACT. Faith does not fail. God honors faith the most. God credits our faith as righteousness. We live by faith & not by sight, senses, feelings or logic. Without faith, we cannot receive anything from God. If you do not pray in faith, you will not receive answers from God. Thank you Jesus. Good morning Holy Spirit. Prayer: Father, help us to GROW in the grace & knowledge of Jesus Christ. Help us to grow in the use of our gifts so that we will use them effectively & win many souls for God. Strengthen our faith. Continue to do so as we draw near to You. Our desire is for our faith to become fearful or fierce faith ultimately, which faith can believe You for anything. Make us GROWING Christians. Make us loving, humble, forgiving, faithful, just & Word based Christians. Let the FRUIT of the Spirit increase in our lives. Let your glory increase upon our lives. Fill us with your Holy Spirit's presence. Give us your kind of peace & joy. Thank you for hearing & answering  my prayer. Thank you for changing my circumstances & for bringing revival in your church. In Jesus mighty name we pray, believe & 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...
