Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law? Jesus replied: Love the Lord your God with all your heart & with all your soul & with all your mind. This is the first & greatest commandment. And the second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself. All the Law & the prophets hang on these two commandments   (Mathew 22:36-40).  Jesus says that if we truly love God & our neighbor, we will naturally keep the commandments.  This is looking at the Word of God positively & applying it to our lives. Rather  than worrying about all we should not do, we should concentrate on all we can do to show our love for God & others. Love is the MISSING ingredient in the church worldwide.  The Bible says this about love: - Do everything in love. (1Corinthians 16:14). - If you love Me, you will obey what I command. (John 14:15). - Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God & knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God because God is love. (1John 4:7-8). -  Dear children, let us not love in words or tongue but with actions & in truth. - 1 John 3:18). - We love because He first loved us. If anyone says: I love God, yet hates his brother, he is a LIAR. For anyone who does not love his brother, whom He has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen. And He has given us this commandment: Whoever loves God must also love  his brother. (1 John 4:19-21). -  A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you love one another.  (John 13:34-35. - If I speak in tongues of men & of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.  If I have the gift of prophecy  & can fathom all mysteries  & all knowledge, & if I have faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor & surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing. (1 Corinthians 13:1-3. - For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through LOVE. Love is the central message of Christianity. Why? Because the God of the Bible is love. Let us love our enemies, love the unlovable, love one another. Let us love others as ourselves.  Love covers over a multitude of sins. So if we love each other deeply, we will FORGIVE easily. Love is the fulfillment of the law & and the prophets. The first four commands of the Ten commandments relate to our relationship with God.   The last six commands of the Ten commandments relate to our relationship with one another.  If you love God, you will obey His commands in the Bible. The Bible is the STANDARD. It is our manual for daily living as Christians. Hear it, read it DEVOTIONALLY, study it, memorize  it, meditate on it & obey it. The Holy Spirit uses the Word of God to transform our lives, change our attitudes, motives & renew our minds. Christianity is about a changed life & love for God & for one another propels that. We are born to REPRODUCE. Let us not produce politicians in the Church. Let us produce people who are God-fearing & TRUE to God. Let us not be FAKE Christians. Thank you Jesus. Good morning Holy Spirit.  Prayer: Father, we have missed the mark. We have lost our first love. We are now largely operating as politicians who have no mercy, who speak lies & who are unloving. My heart is bleeding. I rebuke the spirit behind this situation in the name of Jesus Christ.  I loose the power of God, the power of deliverance in Jesus name. I declare in the name of Jesus: You are free. You are delivered. Fill us with your love. Let God's love bind us together.  Let Christ's love control us. Help us to have unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. Help us to be one as the Godhead is One. Thank you Jesus for hearing & answering my prayer. Put your angels to action. In Jesus mighty name we pray & believe, 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.

 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...
