O unbelieving & perverse generation, Jesus replied: How long shall I stay with you? How long shall I put up with you? Bring the boy here to me. Jesus rebuked the demon, & it came out of the boy, & he was healed from that moment. The disciples came to Jesus in private & asked: Why couldn't we drive it out? He replied: Because you have so little faith. I tell you the truth: if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain: Move from here to there & it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you. (Mathew 17:17-20). The disciples were unable to drive out this demon & they asked Jesus why. He pointed to their lack of faith. It is our faith in God that moves mountains. We do not make the usual intercession prayers when dealing with a demon. We just rebuke the demon in faith. This is a situation where you drive out the demon with a word & authority. But you need to have faith & do it faith. Not all situations require us to make prayers. Sometimes you just speak God's Word into the situation by faith & the demon leaves. I pray for someone reading this message: BEGONE, in Jesus name. I declare in the name of Jesus: You are free. You are delivered. Even undeveloped or substandard faith would have been sufficient. The disciples had tried to drive out the demon with their own ability rather than God's. There is great power in even a little faith when God is with us. If we feel weak or powerless as Christians, we should examine our faith. Jesus wasn't condemning His disciples for having substandard faith; He was trying to show how important faith would be in their future ministry. If you are facing a problem that seems as big & immovable as a mountain, turn your eyes from the mountain & look to Christ for more faith. Only then will your work for Him become useful & vibrant. You will not struggle to cast out a demon. You will not fear demons, but you will drive them out with a just a word spoken in faith & AUTHORITY. No intercession prayers are needed. Just rebuke the demon in faith & deliverance will take place. How does faith come? Faith comes by hearing the Word of God. As you hear the Word, read it, study it, memorize it, meditate on it, obey it, faith comes. Faith is the basis of the Kingdom of God. It is the CURRENCY of the Kingdom of God.  Without it there is no transaction. Without it you cannot receive anything from God. Demons will waste your time or leave on their own because you are powerless. Faith connects us to God. It pleases God. It moves mountains.  Is there a kind of faith that God wants us to have? Yes, faith that works through LOVE. Why? Because God is love. Prayer: Father, I pray that you help us to have a Bible reading & meditation culture. Help us to read the Bible DEVOTIONALLY. As we read your Word, open our minds to understand the Scriptures. Help us to ACT on the Word of God. Help us to take God at His Word. Help us to stand on the promises & authority of the Word of God. Put your angels to action. Thank you for hearing & answering my prayer. In Jesus name, Amen. Good morning Holy Spirit. Heaven Rules.

 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...
