Daily Devotional: Later I passed by, & when I looked at you & saw that you were old enough for love, I spread the corner of my garment over you & covered your nakedness. I gave you my SOLEMN OATH & entered into a COVENANT with you, declares the Sovereign Lord, & you became mine. (Ezekiel 16:8). Prayer: Father I thank you for Jesus. Thank you for accepting my fastings & for answering my prayers. In today's text we see an allegory of unfaithful Jerusalem. God sent Ezekiel to confront Jerusalem with her detestable practices. He reminded Israel of the state they were in when He found them. No one looked on Israel with pity. God saw them in a deplorable state & covered their nakedness, gave them a solemn oath & entered into covenant  with them, but they remained unfaithful to Him. Father, we are in the same state as your church today. You have made great plans for each of us. You sent your Son, Jesus Christ to die on the cross for us, to deliver us from sin & death, to enable us to have a relationship with You God. The blood was shed on the cross. But today what do we do? We have chosen worldliness & have created Christian RELIGION. We did not end there: We have even brought worldliness in your church today. Lord Jesus, help us. Have mercy on us. Let your Holy Spirit convict us in regards to sin. Help us to repent of our sins. Do not destroy us, otherwise, the world will conclude that You failed to fulfil your promises that is why you have destroyed us. Restore us & your church. Bring about a great revival that will bring about power & glory in your church. I assign angels under our complement to act upon my prayers.  In Jesus mighty name we pray, believe & give you thanks, Amen. 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...
