Jesus replied: I tell you the truth, if you have faith & do not doubt, not only can you do what was done to the fig tree, but also you can say to this mountain: Go, throw yourself into the sea, & it will be done. 22). If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer. (Mathew 21:21-22).  Both verses are talking about faith. They are bringing out two aspects: 1. SPEAKING the Word of God in faith, & 2. PRAYING His will in faith. What is faith? It's all about believing God & His Word in total. You take God at His Word. You do not know how it will happen, but you are fully convinced, fully persuaded that God will fulfil His promises. You believe that God is able to do what He said in His Word that He would do. Faith is always toward God or in Jesus Christ. How does faith come? It comes by hearing the Word of God or the message of Christ. To hear in this context also means to act upon the Word. Faith without works or action is dead. Faith connects us to God. Faith pleases God. Faith influences God to ACT. Faith must be LIVED by. Faith must be CONFESSED. Your faith can only go as HIGH as the level of your confession. We BELIEVE the Word & SPEAK it. Faith is the basis of the Kingdom of God. It is the CURRENCY of the Kingdom of God. Without faith, you cannot receive anything from God.  We are saved by grace through faith. We are made righteous by faith. God credits our faith as righteousness.  We receive healing by faith. We live by faith & not by sight, senses, feelings or logic. LOGIC has NO place in the Kingdom of God but faith. There is a kind of faith that God wants us to have: Faith that expresses itself through LOVE. God is love. As His children we must take after His nature & be loving. If we are UNLOVING, we will be under satanic oppression or DEMONIC influences, please take note. In verse 21 we see that Jesus did not make a prayer for the fig tree not to bear fruit again. Like Jesus, sometimes we do not pray, we just SPEAK the Word in faith & it will be done. God honors faith the most. But on condition that you do not doubt & you live an UPRIGHT life in Christ Jesus. In most times we PRAY His will in faith. Fear not, doubt not, only believe. What you say will be done. What you decide upon will be done. (Job 22:28-30). When you pray the Word or His will in faith, your prayers will be answered. Thank you Jesus. Good morning Holy Spirit. Prayer: Father, you have given each a measure of faith. I pray that you develop it further in Jesus name. Strengthen our faith as we hear the Word, read it, study it, memorize it, meditate on it & obey it. In Jesus name, Amen. 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...
