The weight of your sin can never outweigh the love of God. God loves you! And that is what #TheGospelOfJesus is about!

"Whatever inconsistencies you have witnessed in your life, understand in this world, change is inevitable, but not so with God. He will remain constant and steadfast in His love for you and His ability to empower and strengthen you to overcome all things, every time. #Believe" - Pastor Chris Oyakhilome

If someone says, “I love God,” and hates (or works against) his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen? —1 John 4:20

"The power of our words is undeniable!  John 6:63 says the words of God are life and truth and if our words - not just in our prayers, but in our daily conversations - are not lining up with God's Word, then we nullify our faith and cause it to be completely ineffective. #believe" - Pastor Chris Oyakhilome

Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise   but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is. Ephesians 5:15–17,  NIV We talked about how we stay safe and protected when we don’t act presumptuously or irresponsibly but lean in to God’s wisdom. The Lord Jesus demonstrated this to us Himself. When the devil tried to tempt Him to jump off the pinnacle of the temple, quoting Scripture to say that angels were supposed to bear Him up, our Lord Jesus responded by saying, “The Scriptures also say, ‘You must not test the Lord your God’” (Matt. 4:7, NLT). Likewise, let us not test the Lord by making irresponsible and unwise decisions that ignore the written Word of God or the godly counsel spoken over our lives. When you are led by His wisdom, the Lord can protect you from making unwise decisions. For example, someone may offer you “the investment opportunity of a lifetime.” On th

"You can be at peace with your scars. Nothing you’ve done is a surprise to God. He knew every mistake you would make. He knew every time you’d go the wrong way. He wouldn’t have allowed it if it was going to keep you from your purpose." - Joel Osteen #JoelOsteen #BeInspired #GodCares #GloryPublications #GloryInspiration

It doesn't matter what you are going through. Lean on the everlasting arms of Christ.  I pray for you that you will not give up and you will not grow weary. Let there be a quickening. You will not miss your reason for being in Jesus name. Amen #LiveForAGreaterCause #Impact2018

Slay Your Dragons And in Lystra a certain man without strength in his feet   was sitting, a cripple from his mother’s womb, who had never walked. This man heard Paul speaking. Paul, observing him intently and seeing that he had faith to be healed, said with a loud voice, “Stand up straight on your feet!” And he leaped and walked. Acts 14:8–10 Beloved, if you want to have faith for your breakthrough, make sure you are hearing and believing right about God through the word of Christ. By the way, in Romans 10:17, it is the word of   Christ , not the word of   God,   as written in some Bible translations. The Greek word used here is   Christos   for Christ. What’s the difference? The word of Christ refers to the word of the   new covenant , the word of   His grace . In the book of Acts, the apostle Paul says, “So now, brethren, I commend you to God and to the word of His grace, which is able to build you up and give you an inheritance among all those who are sanctified” (Act

Your Refuge and Fortress I will say of the Lord, “ He is  my refuge and my fortress; my God, in Him I will trust.” Psalm 91:2 What are you saying of the Lord today? If you are saying He gave you the trouble you are presently in or an illness to teach you humility, it’s time to change what you believe about Him. If you really believe that God is the author of your problems, would you really be running to Him for help? My friend, let’s be like the psalmist who declared, “I will  say  of the Lord, ‘ He is  my refuge and my fortress; my God, in Him I will trust’” (boldface mine). The Hebrew word for “refuge,”  machaceh , refers to a shelter from storms and danger. This shelter is like the bunkers that many Jews have in their homes in Israel today to shelter them from small-scale attacks. In the figurative sense, when you say the Lord is your  machaceh , you are also declaring that He is your place of hope. The Lord is also your fortress. In Hebrew, the word used for “fortr

“By Him everyone who believes is justified from all things from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses.” Acts 13:39 To understand the grace of God, it is essential you understand the differences between the old covenant of law and the new covenant of grace. To help you accelerate your understanding of law and grace, I want to share with you one of my favorite scriptures. I have preached this verse around the world, from Hillsong Conference in Sydney, Australia, to Lakewood Church, in Houston, Texas. For the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. —John 1:17 The law was given through a servant. Grace and truth came through the Son. The law talks about what man ought to be. Grace reveals Who God is. In the first miracle of Moses, he turned water into blood, resulting in death. In the first miracle of grace, Jesus turned water into wine, resulting in life and celebration. The letter (the law) kills, but the Spirit gives life (s

Pastor Joseph Prince Therefore let it be known to you, brethren, that through this Man, is preached to you the forgiveness of sins; and by Him everyone who believes is justified from all things from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses. Acts 13:38–39 What is our part in the new covenant of grace? Our part in the new covenant of grace is to simply  believe ! What should we believe? We are to believe in Jesus! But follow me closely now, this answer may not be as straightforward as it seems. If you were to ask people on the streets if they believed in Jesus, you would probably get all kinds of answers. There would be those who believe that Jesus existed as a historical figure, moral philosopher, charismatic leader or prophet. Sadly, the truth is that believing all these things about Jesus will not save them. So let’s establish what it means to believe in Jesus. To believe in Jesus is to first and foremost, believe and receive Him as your personal Lord and Savior

Now may the Lord of peace Himself give you peace always in every way. The Lord be with you all. 2 Thessalonians 3:16 Jesus—The Prince Of Peace - Pastor Joseph Prince No matter what challenge, crisis or circumstance you are faced with today, allow His provision of peace to flow in and through you. Jesus is the Prince of Peace. He came to bring you peace, to anchor and to establish your heart even through the most turbulent of times. No matter how boisterous the storm appears, how high the unemployment rates are or how low the world economy crashes, allow His peace to reign supreme in your heart and mind. It’s a peace that surpasses all human understanding, and it provides you safety, soundness of mind, stability and even sweet sleep. How can you let your heart not be troubled nor afraid? By receiving a fresh dose of perfect peace directly from the Prince of Peace today. Turn your cares into prayers, knowing that the Lord of peace Himself is in you, with you and for you. His ro

For this is like the waters of Noah to Me; for as I have sworn that the waters of Noah would no longer cover the earth, so have I sworn that I would not be angry with you, nor rebuke you. For the mountains shall depart and the hills be removed, but My kindness shall not depart from you, nor shall My covenant of peace be removed,” says the Lord, who has mercy on you. Isaiah 54:9–10 God Will Never Be Angry With You - Pastor Joseph Prince The good news of the gospel is that God will NEVER be angry with us. He only has to tell us this, but He wanted us to be so sure that He  swore  in His Word that He would never be angry with us again. Today’s verses are from Isaiah 54, which is right after the famous messianic chapter of the sufferings of Christ in Isaiah 53. Therefore, Isaiah 54 is spelling out the triumphs and spoils of His sufferings. Do you know why God will never be angry with us again? It is because of what Christ has accomplished for us! On the cross, God poured out all

Then a man of God came and spoke to the king of Israel, and said, “Thus says the Lord: ‘Because the Syrians have said, “The Lord is God of the hills, but He is not God of the valleys,” therefore I will deliver all this great multitude into your hand, and you shall know that I am the Lord.’” 1 Kings 20:28 God Of The Valleys Too - Pastor Joseph Prince. In the darkest moments of our lives, we often feel like God is a thousand miles away. God is with us on the mountaintops, we think, but in the valleys, we’re all alone. Nothing could be further from the truth. In 1 Kings 20, the Syrian king was told that Syria had fought Israel on the hills and lost because Israel’s God was the God of the hills. So if they fought the Israelites in the valleys, they would win. Of course, the misinformed Syrians lost again because  God is a God of the valleys  too! My friend, there’s nowhere you can go where you’re not covered by God’s mercy and grace. Whether you are in the pink of health or t

"Having received then the Grace to stand firm and bold in God, let us then not be weary in well doing. Let us not live only for ourselves, for as children of God, our lives are channeled to support and help each other, for in that is our purpose made manifest that we would fully be manifested as sons together with Christ, but if we fail contrary to the order of Grace, then we have not received the Spirit of God which is Love. Don't fail to be a good tree which bears good fruits for GOD'S purpose."

Meditate On ...The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results. James 5:16, NLT Your Prayers Produce Wonderful Results - Pastor Joseph Prince. When Jesus was crucified on the cross, not only did He wash away all your sins with His precious blood, but He also gave you His very own righteousness as a gift. Do you know that you can never lose this righteousness? Your righteousness is a gift from Jesus because it is entirely dependent on  His  perfect performance and  His  perfect obedience, not yours. So my friend, because you are forever righteous in Christ, God hears your prayers every time you pray. Apostle James tells us that the earnest prayer of a righteous man—that’s YOU—“produces wonderful results”. Not just plain results, but wonderful results! What provision do you need today, righteous one? Favor for an interview, wisdom to clear your debts, healing for your children? As a righteous man or woman of God, boldly ask Jesus for

Bishop Dag Heward-Mills READ: Luke 23:1-25 “We heard him say, I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and within three days I will build another made without hands.” - Mark 14:58 Who has done more to build God’s house than the Lord Jesus? Who loved the temple so much that He cleansed it of thieves? Who came to earth and sacrificed His life for the house of God? No other person but Jesus Christ! Yet He was accused of planning to attack and break down the temple. Jesus was also accused of being interested in the throne of Caesar. How far from the truth can we go? Jesus’ eyes were on the throne of Heaven, by the heavenly Father. And the whole multitude of them arose, and led him unto Pilate. And they began to accuse him, saying, we found this fellow perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, saying that he himself is Christ a king. Luke 23:1 -2 The question I ask is, “Did this accusation have the desired effect?” The answer is, “Y

We are living the end time and our Lord Jesus is fast approaching, though the world is at the current state at which God predicted it to be, God has really richly poured out the sufficiency of His Grace such that all might come to salvation through the knowledge of His truth and Love. God is not eager to destroy the World with wrath but patient with Love to save it from destruction.

Bishop Dag Heward-Mills READ: Matthew 23:1-12 “And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.” - Matthew 23:12 I once attended an international gathering of pastors of large churches. These were pastors of the largest churches in their countries. All the pastors had an air of importance around them. Most of us were preoccupied with ourselves and how successful we had been in our respective nations. I wondered to myself, “Who is the most successful pastor here? Who is the greatest?” Later on, I met these pastors at the Hilton Hotel of that city. Many of them were at ease in the environment of wealth. They had travelled first class and were very comfortable in a five-star environment. Of course I was also happy to be there and made myself comfortable. I thanked God for putting me amongst the greatest pastors on earth. Surely, I thought, I must now be one of the greatest pastors too. It was years later that the Lord

I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain. Galatians 2:21, KJV Are You Frustrating God’s Grace? - Pastor Joseph Prince. Consider carefully what the apostle Paul is saying in today’s verse. He is effectively saying that if you are depending on  your  good works,  your  doing and  your  ability to keep perfectly the Ten Commandments to become righteous, then Jesus died for nothing! That’s what “in vain” means— for nothing ! So don’t frustrate the grace of God by depending on your good works to make yourself righteous and put God on your side. Jesus’ sacrifice is more than enough to make you righteous. And when you know that you are made righteous by Jesus’ work alone, regardless of your performance, you can be confident that God’s unmerited favor is on your side. You can expect good to happen to you today and every day!

"You must keep a perpetual watch over your mind, because that is where you either win or lose the battles of life." - Pastor Mensa Otabil

Receive Christ: Because anyone who receives Christ receives the power to become a son of God. Pray this prayer: "Lord Jesus, I come to You as a sinner, lost and condemned to Hell. I repent of my sins and ask for your forgiveness. I believe with all my heart that You died on the cross and rose up again for my sins." I open my heart to You and receive You as my Lord and personal Saviour. Please take control of my life and make me what You want me to be. From today, I am Yours and You are mine. Thank You, Father for this wonderful gift of salvation, Amen."

"You may not be aware of it, but the power of God resides in you. Many are living a defeated life due to their ignorance. You cannot use a thing if you are not conscious of its existence or potential." - Pastor Mensa Otabil

"The obedience of ONE MAN leads many to salvation in eternity through faith, breaking the yoke of bondage and the guilt of unforgivingness, which before Grace condemned many by the knowledge of sin. You now therefore are the righteousness of GOD through Faith and not yoked any longer to sin and shame." - Mr Edwin Ronel Bekoe

"Greater is the Grace that came by blood, for the reconciliation from enmity between man and GOD, into fellowship and sonship; that by Love we may be purified unto salvation and stand Just by faith in God that God in all things be glorified through His Grace." - Mr Edwin Ronel Bekoe

"Like the woman with the issue of blood (Mark 5), you must give your faith bold assignments and expect God to do more than you desire. Because you cannot have timid faith and see the power of God flowing through you." - Pastor Mensa Otabil

"God’s power at work in us is able to do exceedingly, abundantly above all that we ask or think. However, if we don’t ask or think, the power of God will remain dormant and unbeneficial to us." - Pastor Mensa Otabil

"If you read the Bible as a mental exercise or go to Church just out of habit or ritual, yet don’t believe the Word, then your connection to the power of God is faulty. Power is only released through faith." - Pastor Mensa Otabil

MINISTRY KEYS Bishop Dag Heward-Mills READ: 2 Corinthians 4:1-2 “Giving no offence in any thing, that the ministry be not blamed: But in all things approving ourselves as the ministers of God…” - 2 Corinthians 6:3-4  Ministry is not easy. There are many things that can discourage you. Much of what you do is hard work, with no one appreciating your efforts. You are working for the Lord and not for any man. It is when you look to people for appreciation that you become discouraged. Renounce hidden things of dishonesty. Dishonest people cannot flourish in ministry. The reason is that the boss (God) has His eyes everywhere. Unlike other jobs where you can get away with stealing and other dishonest practices, you cannot steal from God. Do not be crafty. Craftiness speaks of being cleverly able to cut corners and get away with poor work. Unfortunately, this is not possible with Jehovah. Leave your crooked ways behind and let us work for the Lord without craftiness. Do no

"The reason why many believers are not experiencing the miraculous hand of God is not because the power of God is weak. Rather, they are connecting to the power source with the wrong connection— 'doubt'." - Pastor Mensa Otabil

When He had come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed Him. And behold, a leper came and worshiped Him, saying, “Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.” Then Jesus put out His hand and touched him, saying, “I am willing; be cleansed.” Immediately his leprosy was cleansed. Matthew 8:1–3 Beyond All Expectations - Pastor Joseph Prince When the Lord blesses you, He blesses you beyond what you expect. In the healing of the leper, Jesus reached out and touched the leper, saying, “I am willing; be cleansed.” And immediately, the man was healed. Did you notice that Jesus   touched   the leper first before He healed him? I love these little gestures of Jesus! That simple touch restored a sense of humanity and dignity to the man who had not been touched for a long time. Because of his unclean and physically repulsive condition, no one wanted to be close to him, much less touch him. Jesus knew that the leper needed more than just physical healing, so He gave a

"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” (Joshua 1:9)

Your heart will follow the things you consider important, for the attitude of your heart determines the altitude you will go; therefore with faith in your heart you will have a victorious fate when you meet mountains. Also, the people who have access to your heart, have the keys of your life; what gives the keys of your life to people are ; their words & the impact they have on you. The people who have the access to your heart can either be people you love or hate, and this gives them keys to your life because of the hold they have on you either by love or hate. let's take the prophet of God; Elijah and king Ahab's wife Jezebel, it is clearly seen that Elijah gave Jezebel access to his heart through her words and the hatred he had for her and her acts of idolatry (1 Kings 18 : 23 - 40, 19 : 1 - 3). The constant repetition of the words and mental images of Jezebel's threat in Elijah's mind put the keys of his life in Jezebel's hands, thus reducing him at that

You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You. Isaiah 26:3 Your Mind Matters To Him - Pastor Joseph Prince Doctors tell us that many of the sicknesses we suffer in our bodies are psychosomatic, meaning they are a result of mental or emotional stress that we have put ourselves under. Perhaps you were abused or emotionally hurt by someone you trusted. Maybe you still feel angry and hurt when you think about it. Beloved, I want to encourage you to start involving Jesus. He is your answer. See the Lord holding you, gently healing your wounds. See Him restoring you, putting courage into your heart and taking away every sense of shame and guilt. At the cross, Jesus took on Himself the bitter sting of every one of your frustrations, hurts and emotional pains when He wore the crown of thorns on your behalf (John 19:2). He did it so that you can be free from fears, depression and stress. Today, bring the Lord into every situation of st

FOLLOWING Bishop Dag Heward-Mills READ: Exodus 33:7-11 “And the Lord spake unto Moses face to face, as a man…And he turned again into the camp: but his servant Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, departed not out of the tabernacle.” - Exodus 33:11 I remember when I wanted to go into the healing ministry. I prayed about it and asked the Lord what to do. The Lord pointed out a particular minister to me. He told me to follow him and I would receive the anointing to minister to the sick. As I began to listen to this minister’s tapes, I found them difficult to understand. My wife found them even more difficult to comprehend. Once, I said to myself, “What kind of preaching is this? No one could possibly understand it.” But I kept on listening to his tapes and following his ministry. As I humbled myself and continued, a day came when things began to fall in place. I suddenly understood what was going on and could follow the message. I would watch him minister and I would g

"HE HATH MADE HIM TO BE SIN FOR US, WHO KNEW NO SIN; THAT WE MIGHT BE MADE THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD IN HIM"  2 CORINTHIANS 5 : 21 KJV

...For He Himself has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” Hebrews 13:5 Believe Jesus’ Word That He Is With You - Pastor Joseph Prince Thank Jesus for His presence whether you “feel” it or not. When it comes to His presence, don’t go by your feelings. Feelings can be deceptive. Go by His promise that He is Immanuel—God with us! A groom approached his pastor almost immediately after his wedding ceremony and said, “Pastor, can I talk to you for a second?” “Sure,” the pastor replied. The groom said, “You know what, I don’t  feel  married.” The pastor grabbed him by the collar and growled, “Listen, boy. You ARE married whether you feel it or not, understand? Just take it by faith that you are married!” My friend, don’t go by your feelings. Go by the truth and the truth is this: God promised, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” So practice His presence even if you  feel  like Jesus is 100,000 miles away. Remember that feelings aren’t always based on t

ARMED Bishop Dag Heward-Mills “Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness” - Ephesians 6:14   Righteousness is a vital piece of equipment in the armour of God. It is a broad defence against powerful accusations. In the ministry, you will be accused of almost every imaginable sin. The longer you stay in ministry, the more varied and extensive your accusations will be. What will you do to defend yourself against the stories and ideas that are peddled about you? Your biggest defence against wicked accusations is the fact that you have not done any of the things that you are being accused of. This is why righteousness is called the breastplate of righteousness.   Righteousness is a broad defence against your wicked and hateful enemy. Without the breastplate of righteousness you are done for. All the things your enemy says about you are true and you will pay the price for your sins. Mercies upon mercies! Another cri

SATANIC POISON Bishop Dag Heward-Mills “.. Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,   And shall go out to deceive the nations… to gather them together to battle…” - Revelation 20:7-8 Whatever makes you strong is of interest to your enemy. If he can take that away from you, he can destroy you. You must always expect an attack on the source of your strength. You must also attack your enemy’s source of light, fuel and food. The reason why your financiers are under attack is because they are a source of strength for your ministry. Who is behind the conflicts in your life? Perhaps, you are wondering why you are always having conflict with your pastors, your wife and your children. It is time to grow up and know that there is always someone behind the war. There is someone behind the marital conflict that you are experiencing and it is Satan. Satan is the one behind every conflict, every war, and every fight. Notice, as soon as the devil is set free from the one thou- sand year

NO DRIFTING. Bishop Dag Heward-Mills READ: Hebrews 6:7-12 “That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God” - Colossians 1:10 There are differences in employees. Some members of staff are very fruitful and contribute greatly to the efforts of the ministry. Others are more of a burden. Ensure that you are one of those whose presence is beneficial to the work of God. The fact that you are paid by the organization does not mean that you are fruitful. The fact that you work in a church does not mean that you will be automatically full of the Word. Endeavour to increase in the knowledge of God even as you serve God in full-time ministry. One interesting phenomenon is that some people actually backslide when they are in full-time ministry. They actually pray less and read less than when they were lay people. You must become stronger spiritually when you are in full- time ministry. Pray more and wai

Bishop Dag Heward-Mills READ: Genesis 1:26-31; 2:18-24 “Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.” - Ezekiel 28:15   Satan forgot that he was a created being and wanted to rise and replace God on His throne. Perhaps his singing and music attracted so much praise that he thought the music came from within himself. Just accepting that you are normal shows that you are humble and not puffed up. Accept that you are just like everyone else. Accept the fact that you need help. Many people do not like to discuss realities! When you speak about marriage or sex they look at you as though you are vulgar or profane. It is humility to accept your human needs, desires and tendencies. It is wise and humble to understand yourself and to accept yourself. When you are puffed up and cannot bring yourself to behold or discuss your human realities, you will find yourself falling. Some people who decided that they were above the sex

Meditate On Today I have given you the choice between life and death...Oh, that you would choose life, so that you and your descendants might live! Deuteronomy 30:19, NLT Choose Life Today! - Pastor Joseph Prince You can choose life today when you realize that life and death are in the power of your tongue (Proverbs 18:21). This is how you choose life practically and reign in it every day: Instead of complaining about your symptoms, simply thank God for His gift of righteousness and declare your righteousness in Christ. Say this prayer with me: Jesus, thank You for not just loving me and removing my sins, but for also giving me Your everlasting righteousness. You ARE my righteousness—today, tomorrow and forevermore. And because I am righteous, I will REIGN IN LIFE through You. I will reign over sin and sickness, and live a life that glorifies You! Amen!

Knowledge & Wisdom Bishop Dag Heward-Mills READ: 1 Corinthians 2:9-16 “Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth…” - 1 Corinthians 2:13   Intelligence is defined as the capacity for learning, reasoning and understanding. It is the aptitude for grasping truths, relationships, facts and meanings. The four pillars of intelligence are knowledge, wisdom, understanding and the fear of the Lord. The Holy Spirit influences your knowledge, your wisdom, your understanding and your fear of the Lord. All these four aspects make up intelligence. Amazingly, the Holy Spirit influences each of these areas directly. Thankfully, the Holy Spirit is a source of knowledge. A great part of His influence is to cause you to have knowledge. Knowledge is the information that you need. It consists of the facts, the data and the truths about any subject. Ignorance is directly proportional to many of the evils in the world toda

"The gospel of Grace is not to condemn but to draw all to the realization of Love, leading all who accept this Grace to Life through the sacrifice of Love (The Lord Jesus Christ). Love gives and never holds back, for in all our way, we are set to encourage ourselves in Love and to comfort ourselves in the knowledge of God's Grace." - Mr Edwin Ronel Bekoe

"Grace has given us the strength to stand strong through our weaknesses as sons of God regardless of our breaking points and has mounted us to hope when we are fainting,that no matter the circumstance,we will boldly face the storm without fear for our strength is based on our Love and fellowship with God." - Mr Edwin Ronel Bekoe

"Dedicating your life to God requires more than always being in the church room, it requires the devoted practice of the gospel of Christ which is the testament of Love and forgiveness for by such do we know we are alive in God through Christ. Your purpose as a child of God is to draw the world to love." - Mr Edwin Ronel Bekoe

"The message of the gospel of Christ is Salvation and Life through the Love of God, for by this Love, are all drawn to the knowledge of the nature of Grace. Forgiveness is a major key to Salvation and with this Spirit are we justified in the nature of our Father to fully manifest the Glory and nature of God." - Mr Edwin Ronel Bekoe

"God has given us gifts that no one can take away from us. Especially in times of need, those gifts can give us comfort. Hold on tightly to the gifts of God!" - Joyce Meyer

GIFTED Bishop Dag Heward-Mills READ: Isaiah 42:1-4 “The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek…” - Isaiah 61:1 The prophet Isaiah spoke of this anointed servant on whom the Spirit of God would rest. He would have certain characteristics. May these characteristics always be found on you after today! There is a special anointing on the servant of God in whom God delights. May this anointing be upon you! This is the last day that you will be found without the gift of the spirit. Many desire to be servants of God because there is a difference between he that serveth God and he that serveth him not. Even higher than that is the op- portunity to be an anointed servant. This will be your story and your testimony from today onwards. As you read these qualities of the anointed servant as prophesied by Isaiah, they are coming upon you to stay. Amen! The anointing of the anointed servant will cause you to be a d

"You are here on assignment! Don't waste your time on frivolous activities and with people who are going no where." - Pastor Mensa Otabil

Meditate on this; For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.2 Corinthians 5:21 Not Just Forgiven, But Made Righteous Too by Pastor Joseph Prince  At the cross, Jesus did not just take away your sins, but He also gave you His righteousness! A divine exchange took place—your sins for His righteousness. This means that, today, you are as righteous as Christ Himself, not because of your good works, but because of His finished work! So place your hand over your heart right now and boldly declare: I, (state your name), AM the righteousness of God in Christ! Come on, say it out loud at least three times and believe it in your heart. Learn to speak this powerful truth to and over yourself every day. If the enemy tells you, “You’re a bad Christian and that’s why you’re sick,” just declare, “I AM RIGHTEOUS IN CHRIST! By His stripes I am healed!” Beloved, when you meditate on and honor the work of the Son that

"When your Thanksgiving is rendered to glorify God,the heavens break forth with a testimony propelling the Godhead together with the heavens to work in your favor,fulfilling His Word concerning His Will for you. Limitations come because we act as men and are prone to the flesh by sight and its worldliness." MR. EDWIN RONEL BEKOE

There are some people who find it easy to argue passionately for Ronaldo or Messi, yet they cannot witness for Jesus. They can praise their football teams but they find it hard to praise God for all that He has done. If He is Lord, then your praise for Him must be extravagant.

God has set us aside as an example that we through the firm teachings of Grace can administer and encourage one another boldly in the Word and Spirit but if we fail to stand out as ministers of Grace,then what benefit have we as sons of God? If our attitudes do not encourage others unto God and salvation.

"A breakthrough starts in the mind; what you deem as possible manifests in the physical. If you cannot see the solution in your mind, you will never be able to solve the problem." - Pastor Mensa Otabil

"Don’t complain about who did you wrong and how unfair it was. If it were going to keep you from your destiny, God would not have permitted it. Shake it off and get ready for new doors to open, for new opportunities." - Pastor Joel Osteen

"Grace found you not to delve you more into sin but to give you an understanding on the hope which comes by faith that we should stand firm and glorious as sons and joint heirs to His divine nature, but then as sons and heirs of Grace we are not urged to mislead others with our freedom and liberty." - Mr Edwin Ronel Bekoe

INCREASED HONOUR Bishop Dag Heward-Mills READ: Galatians 6:6-8 “A son honoureth his father, and a servant his master: if then I be a father, where is mine honour?…” - Malachi 1:6 A trend of increasing honour in a church can only come about by teaching the subject, emphasizing the Word of God and leaving the congregation to appreciate the gift of God in their midst. I know churches where the impact of the pastor is great within the church because there is a strong maintenance of the appreciation culture in that congregation. The pastor himself may strongly introduce himself and inform the congregation of their need to appreciate and recognize the gift that God has placed in their midst. This is important so that the congregation does not miss the blessings of the anointing. What is the point of having such a great gift in your midst and not benefiting from it? What is the point of having the biggest river in your city and yet have a shortage of water? What is the use of bre

CHARISMA Bishop Dag Heward-Mills READ: 1st Corinthians 12:4-11 “The officers answered, Never man spake like this man.” - John 7:46   Charisma means gracefulness and beauty. Through the influence of the Holy Spirit you become charismatic. That means you become graceful and beautiful.  Charis means grace. Charisma means manifestation of grace. Charismata means multiple manifestations of grace. A charismatic person is a gifted and inspired person. He receives multiple manifestations of gracefulness and beauty. This makes him have a magnetic appeal. It is this magnetic appeal that draws people to listen to him. The Holy Spirit causes people to be drawn to help and support a charismatic person. When you are a servant of the Lord, it is the influence of the spirit that makes you attractive. It is not your looks, your dressing, your education or how tall you are that draws people to you. It is the influence of the Holy Spirit that makes you attractive and makes people want to

Bishop Dag Heward-Mills READ: Ephesians 5:18-20 “… teaching and admonishing one an- other in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.” - Colossians 3:16 Perhaps the most important Scripture for Christians who desire to be filled with the Spirit is Ephesians 5:18. It is the Scripture that tells us how Christians can be continually filled, empowered and influenced by the Holy Spirit. According to this landmark Scripture, the first thing you must do if you want to be filled with the Spirit is to speak to yourself through a song, a hymn or a psalm. The key words here are “speak to yourself ”. Think about it. Many of the songs that are sung in churches do not speak to us because we cannot hear the words. Even when we can hear the words, the words do not edify or minister grace to us. If you want people to be filled with the Spirit through your music ministry, it is important that the words are powerful and that they speak to our heart
