IT’S TIMELESS TIMES

By Leave a Comment

IT’S TIMELESS TIMES – IN TIME AS THIS GENERATION: DON’T BE IN A DESPONDENT STATE – SEEK A FRIEND, PASTOR, COUNSELOR!

“For God, who COMMANDED the LIGHT to shine OUT of DARKNESS, hath SHINED in our HEARTS, to give the LIGHT of the KNOWLEDGE of the GLORY of God in the FACE of Jesus Christ” 2 Corinthians 4:6.

It’s TIMELESS TIMES with many reasons to be in DESPONDENT state, but it’s UNHEALTHY state – and in time as of this generation, you don’t have to be in a DESPONDENT state – It’s time to crave, seek, pursue and follow the path that will help you get the needed KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING through counsel – so that you might thrive and live onwards and upwards again. You can find a FRIEND, PASTOR and COUNSELOR to help you OUT OF DARKNESS of DESPONDENCY into the light of life, and that you might thrive and live again in God’s grace, wisdom and speed in every way in His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“A man that hath friends must SHEW himself FRIENDLY: and there is a friend that STICKETH CLOSER than a brother” Proverbs 18:24.

“And I will GIVE you PASTORS according to mine HEART, which shall FEED you with KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING” Jeremiah 3:15.

“Without COUNSEL PURPOSES ARE DISAPPOINTED: but in the MULTITUDE of COUNSELLORS they are ESTABLISHED” Proverbs 15:22.

It’s always good and healthy for me in taking or making out time – on a one to one timeline – to share life matter with my one for certain TRUSTED Sister, friend and confident person at relax and leisure moment. You can find one and keep it alive, refreshing, rejuvenating, rekindling and ongoing while it last. Life is good with God and for you in having one good Friend, Pastor and or Counselor that you can trust without shame, fear, sentiments and can be honest to even in a fault. There may have been many disappointed friend, pastor and or counselor to TRUST, but I know you can still be able to find one TRUSTED friend as you ensure you are TRUSTWORTHY too in expecting same from OTHERS. And you can find one today, that can BOOSTER you no matter how bad it seems, if you make an effort than staying or being DESPONDENT about life generally.

Just as we seek after trusted Pastor’s, to FEED us without prejudice and sentiments, but with the PRINCIPLE of rightful knowledge and understanding, to enable us do life in grace effectually and efficiently, so endeavor to get a trusted FRIEND- PASTOR – COUNSELOR, that you can be HONEST to, even to a fault and feel safe in every way in LIFE and GRACE. It’s rare, but ARE there. You mustn’t stand or sit STATIC in life. God has more to do in and through you than you can imagine in your LONE or LONELY path or self-defeat position.

It’s time to BELIEVE again in order to create, innovate, initiate and explore God’s given opportunity and endowment that are out there. Get a trusted and faithful friend and or Pastor and or counselor, that you can sit together and share your hearts without shame, fear and prejudice even if it’s to a fault.

There’s hope in God. There’s a miracle. God is faithful, true and sure. His gift and callings are without repentance except you refused yourself God’s enabling opportunity in His grace and BLESSEDNESS. I know it, hence I challenge you today – don’t give up due to one mistake or failure or moment that went very badly directly or indirectly by you. In God, there’s a rising up again. DON’T BE A LONER WHERE THERE’S OPPORTUNITY AND HOPE IN CHRIST JESUS!

May you find a reason to rise again today. God loves and cares about you, even so do in His grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

THE EAGLE WAY: LEADERSHIP AND MENTORSHIP!

By Leave a Comment

THE EAGLE WAY: LEADERSHIP AND MENTORSHIP!

A CHILD is BORN, but a SON is MADE. Sonship is not a MERE GIVEN neither should a CHILD BE BORN FOR NOTHING. The EAGLE WAY – It’s about RELATIONSHIP – THE EAGLE and THE EAGLETS – that is, LEADERSHIP and MENTORSHIP. For SUCCESS without a SUCCESSOR is failure in disguise; in same scenario, PROSPERITY without POSTERITY in view is a complete unprecedented disaster in the waiting.

The EAGLE unlike the OSTRICH is known for replicating its kind, that is, are DILIGENT in making the EAGLET to become another KING of the Sky. It’s a belief that the sky is so wide and broad that there can be no room for clashes and jealousy for any that WILLS DILIGENTLY, to BECOME; and to MAKE others to be on the sky. That’s the earnest act that makes the Eagle to turn the Eaglet to be king of the sky. This phenomenon is same, whether in FAMILY, MINISTRY, BUSINESS, CAREER, POLITICS, LEADERSHIP, CHARITABLE CAUSES and SUCH LIKES; it is in every endeavor of human acts of doing life.

It is upon the same scenario, Jesus said to Peter, FEED (look well after) my SHEEP and my LAMBS. When the SHEEP are well looked after, they give life to the LAMBS; and when the LAMBS are well looked after, they BECOME a SHEEP to give life to another lamb. That’s the process of PRODUCTIVITY and the continuous reproducing of one’s kind BECOMES inevitable. Therefore the EAGLE WAY – is to MAKE CONVERTS into DISCIPLES and to MAKE the DISCIPLES to MAKE CONVERTS, that is, to replicates to other Disciples.

Hence LEADERSHIP without appropriate MENTORSHIP destroys the SEED of GREATNESS; and MENTORSHIP without appropriate LEADERSHIP is very dangerous to PRODUCTIVE humanity, and as such to ones plans, purposes and pursuits in any endeavor of doing life.

Stop being a BOSS today! Be a LEADER and start MENTORING. Stop being a headless chicken WANDERING around, locate a LEADER and SUBMIT to MENTORSHIP. Don’t be a SHEEP without a SHEPHERD. Greatness is within your reach, cleave to the wind – the Holy Spirit – He will glide you to greatness if you are willing and obedient.

Greatness Is Within Your Reach. It’s Time For Productivity – THE EAGLE WAY.

I PRAY YOU LEARN WISDOM TODAY.

MORE THAN CONQUERORS IN REDEMPTION

MORE THAN CONQUERORS IN REDEMPTION: THE PRINCIPLE PHASES TO KNOW AND UNDERSTAND!

I have come to know and understand in over four decades walking and working in grace, that there are four (4) principle phases or acts of Redemption, that every Born Child of God in Christ MUST come to know and understand, to help them APPROPRIATE and ENACT their REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus with ease.

The KNOWING and UNDERSTANDING of these principle  phases or acts of REDEMPTION will keep you afloat in grace as MORE THAN CONQUERORS IN REDEMPTION; otherwise one will be a wanderer and wondering in the congregation of IGNORANCE no matter how long you’ve been around ‘in Christ’ or ‘in Church life’. Knowledge and understanding DELIVERS!

THESE PRINCIPLE PHASES ARE:

**Phase 1. What God, through Christ DID FOR US in His great Substitution Work in Redemption.

**Phase 2. What the Holy Spirit, through the WORD, DOES IN US in the New Birth and in the in-filling of the Holy Spirit.

**Phase 3. What Jesus is DOING FOR US now in His Present-Day Ministry at the Right-Hand of Father God.

**Phase 4. What His WORD and His LOVE DO THROUGH US in Gospel Ministry.

Knowing and understanding these will change your in look (Insights) and outlook (Foresights) in Redemption. Appropriating and Enacting your MORE THAN CONQUERORS IN REDEMPTION will BECOME ease and norm in living and doing life.

SCRIPTURAL TRUTH: YOU CAN ONLY BE MISTAKEN – FOR LACK OF KNOWLEDGE!

By Leave a Comment

SCRIPTURAL TRUTH: YOU CAN ONLY BE MISTAKEN – FOR LACK OF KNOWLEDGE!

People are walking in errors, held captive and taken mistakenly in life because of not having a genuine KNOWLEDGE with the corresponding UNDERSTANDING of the matter in questions about them and those or things they care passionately about. That’s why living by SENTIMENT, ASSUMPTION or PRESUMPTION is an error by every means of judgment in the affairs of DOING LIFE AND GODLY LIVING as a redeemed child of God.

It is ‘THE TRUTH’, only THE TRUTH not just TRUTH or a mere ‘FACT or SENTIMENT, ASSUMPTION’ or ‘PRESUMPTION’, that you Know, that sets you FREE in the Kingdom; and it’s the TRUTH that gives you the Liberation and genuine Freedom that you need to become a VICTOR and not a VICTIM or PREY. The TRUTH, indicates a person, meaning the personality. Its presence in one’s life creates the being that sets free.

You need to know and understand full well that a mere FACT(S) can be photo shopped or misconstrued and faked – counterfeited; and it’s also limited in divine nature and conscripts to ascertain matters; but THE TRUTH will deal with ONE’S CONSCIOUSNESS no matter HOW or WHAT or WHERE or WHEN in one’s spirit being to unveil or uncover that which only the invisible, authenticate WORD of God can reveal (Hebrews 4:12-13).

The TRUTH is self-empowering. Bury the TRUTH, it will arise on the third day without any assistance to ANSWER any QUEST hidden, misconstrued, conspired or deleted.

Living continually by the TRUTH is made possible by the Holy Spirit of TRUTH. For the TRUTH is THE WORD who then is JESUS. He can’t live GENUINELY IN YOU and you still WALK in errors, deceit and compromise. And If you know you are in errors, deceit, compromise and such like, you NEED a wholesome check by God’s WORD by the Holy Spirit to set you free indeed. Then you CAN actually have a solid WORD-Based Foundation in Christ Jesus and continue STEADFASTLY on the WORD, which is the TRUTH to ensure your freedom and liberation in ALL things in the light of the Holy Writ.

It’s my utmost PRAYER today that you might come to know THE TRUTH himself and obtain the liberation and freedom you need now and always in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

A WORKSHOP INDEED

A WORKSHOP INDEED: A MORE THAN SEMINAR – THE MARRIAGE COURSE!

KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING does not only delivers, emancipates, strengthens, empowers, blossoms, refreshes, rejuvenates and such like, but SAVES a relationship from ignorance, stupidity and foolishness and such like; it also GIVES a relationship a meaningful and purposeful access to God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

RELATIONSHIP turns into ABUSE (ABNORMAL USE) when PURPOSE are misappropriated and misunderstood. Hence, there is the need to continuously give ones relationship to innovation, creativity and exploration, now and always, in order to THRIVE, FLOURISH, BLOSSOM and REJUVENATE, in LIFE and GRACE, thereby fulfilling meaningful purpose. That’s why been static and dormant is unhealthy for any relationship that intends to thrive and not survive in Christ Jesus stead. There’s the need for any desired healthy relationship, to ADD the good of KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING to one’s FAITH, the virtues of GRACIOUSNESSS in order to enhance the marital relationship at all levels and stages. Proverbs 4:7; Philippians 4:8; 2 Peter 1:5-11.

And so it was in another time of REFRESHING, REJUVENATING and COLOURING this matter called MARRIAGE @ “THE MARRIAGE COURSE” for additional knowledge and understanding to enhance the marital BLESSEDNESS. This is done in Courtesy and Partnership with F.A.I.T.H MISSION UK (FAMILY ALIVE INTERNATIONAL TEACHING AND HEALING MISSION, UK) of Rev & Mrs. Emmanuel ILEYESA-MANUNGA.

It was a full day Couple Synergy experience @ the City of Bristol, UK. Running Time: 9:00am – 6:30pm which just ended on September 30.

I hope you will join us in keeping families alive in the next upcoming ‘THE MARRIAGE COURSE’. (I will keep you posted).

The Spirit of UNDERSTANDING

By Leave a Comment

The Spirit of UNDERSTANDING: A Key ASKING To Enact You In Living And Doing Life Wisely! 

It’s true that a man of KNOWLEDGE is a man of strength; but a man of UNDERSTANDING is a man of wisdom – both to live and do life wisely.

I hereby employ you expediently, to pray in line as in Ephesians 1:15-23 in the Spirit of understandable knowledge for the revelation spirit of wisdom and understanding – to live and do life wisely. For wisdom – the consequence of knowledge and understanding gives life and makes one to shine and radiate in glory.

Understanding emancipates and gives complete Freedom in all about life. For until you UNDERSTAND what you claim to KNOW, you are as good as the IGNORANT – UNINFORMED, UNPRODUCTIVE, and ILL-EQUIPPED.

A mere PASSION (zeal) and KNOWLEDGE take one to nowhere until there’s an UNDERSTANDING of the knowledgeable passion (zeal).

Seek for UNDERSTANDING today in the light of the Scriptures, for God will open the eyes of your understanding and give you the enlightenment and illumination in LIFE and GRACE to ensure God’s BLESSEDNESS within you in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

Therefore, I pray that the eyes of your understanding might be enlightened and illuminated, in LIFE and GRACE, to ensure the needed WISDOM that will give you the leverage and stability in your destined – PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT. Amen!

Herein is the PRAYER LINE of – Ephesians 1:15-23 to appropriate for yourself accordingly:

“Therefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints, 16 do not cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in MY PRAYERS: 17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may GIVE to you the spirit of WISDOM and REVELATION in the KNOWLEDGE of Him, 18 the eyes of your UNDERSTANDING being enlightened; that you may KNOW what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, 19 and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power 20 which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, 21 far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come. 22 And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the church, 23 which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all” Ephesians 1:15-23 NKJV.

“A WISE MAN IS STRONG; yea, a man of knowledge increaseth strength” Proverbs 24:5.

WISDOM NUGGETS

By Leave a Comment

WISDOM NUGGETS: THE PLACE FOR – ZEAL (PASSION), KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING IN FULFILLING PURPOSE!

I want you to SELAH for some moments before proceeding further. SELAH is to PAUSE and THINK, probably over the header and the content to read along. For while there is time to SOAR in DOMINION, there is a Place of PASSION (ZEAL), KNOWLEDGE And UNDERSTANDING in life, that worth a proper comprehension, in order to FULFILL PURPOSE meaningfully. You need to have the perspective of each respectively in order to apply your heart in the path of wisdom. For wisdom is the principal principle for your well-being to ensure your God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead.

LET US CONSIDER THE PERSPECTIVES RESPECTIVELY:

***PASSION, meaning Zeal, strong feeling or intensely emotional about something, is a vitality to life PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT. However, a mere passion or being passionate or zealous about something is not enough to carry one through in life’s Plan, Purpose and Pursuit. One needs KNOWLEDGE to enhance the PASSION or ZEAL to a fruitful end.

It thus also means, being passionate about something as: Career, Marriage, Relationship, Skill, Trade, Governance, Leadership, Ministry and more, can only be meaningful when there’s an added KNOWLEDGE to such desired PASSION. And is simply for this:

“Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. 2 For I bear them record that they have a ZEAL (PASSION) of God, but not according to KNOWLEDGE. 3 For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God. 4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth” Romans 10:1-4 (Emphasis Mine).

***KNOWLEDGE is not very appreciated until you’ve experience effect of IGNORANCE. It’s very vital in our cause to life PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT to enhance one’s endeavors with the required or expected KNOWLEDGE for proficiency and for effectual and efficient results.

It thus means that, as good as KNOWLEDGE is important, it is not enough except there’s an UNDERSTANDING to that KNOWLEDGE in order to make it meaningful. A mere KNOWLEDGE without UNDERSTANDING puffed (PRIDES) up and it’s dangerous. Simply for this reason to add understanding to knowledge:

“Now as touching things offered unto idols, we know that we all have knowledge. KNOWLEDGE PUFFED UP, but charity edifieth. 2 And if any man think that he knoweth anything, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know. 3 But if any man love God, the same is known of him” 1 Corinthians 8:1-3 (Emphasis Mine).

***UNDERSTANDING what you KNOW and PASSIONATE about is the key to WISDOM for life PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT.

Until one UNDERSTANDS full well what one is KNOWLEDGEABLE and PASSIONATE about, there will be life struggle to a THRIVING, COLOURFUL, MEANINGFUL and FULFILMENT in doing LIFE and GODLY LIVING. Hence, the need to get UNDERSTANDING:

“WISDOM is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and WITH ALL THE GETTING GET UNDERSTANDING” Proverbs 4:7 (Emphasis Mine).

SCRIPTURAL UNDERSTANDING FOR WISDOM

By Leave a Comment

SCRIPTURAL UNDERSTANDING FOR WISDOM: GET THE UNDERSTANDING IN ALL YOUR KNOWING!

“WISDOM is the PRINCIPAL thing; therefore get WISDOM: and with ALL thy getting GET UNDERSTANDING” Proverbs 4:7.

People fail in life and godliness, not merely for not KNOWING, but for not UNDERSTANDING what they claimed to KNOW, and the PURPOSE of a given cause to them. Hence, I have always said, and will always say:

“UNTIL YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU CLAIM TO KNOW OR TO HAVE KNOWN IN ANY MATTER OF LIFE AND GODLINESS, YOU ARE NOT BETTER THAN THE IGNORANT”.

Having an idea is good, UNDERSTANDING your idea is another ball game. I have seen the assumed rich fall from the penthouse glory to be a beggar and have seen the one-time poverty-stricken rise to grace from grass. All because they assume the rich just landed into wealth by a mere knowledge and zeal, without understanding what’s the take on and know-how to sustain the position; while the once poverty-stricken took to knowledge know-how along with an understanding of the journey, arrives there, lives to sustain it, in spite of all changes and challenges in life weather conditions to the set matter.

“While the EARTH remaineth, SEEDTIME and HARVEST, and COLD and HEAT, and SUMMER and WINTER, and DAY and NIGHT shall not cease” Genesis 8:22.

Knowing your spouse is good, but if you don’t understand each other, there’s going to be a bomb explosion one day. So stride to both know and understand your spouse in your relationship day by day, so that you blossom, refresh and rejuvenate in all weathers of life.

Being educated and informed in a career or trade is good, but not understanding your career or trade will cause a problem to you and others probably one day. As the saying goes:

“A BAD WORKMAN QUARRELS WITH HIS TOOLS”.

Being a Gospel Minister is a gracious privilege, but not understanding the etiquette of being a Shepherd in looking well over God’s heritage will make you a hypocrite, arrogant and wolf in sheep clothing. Instead of being the CHIEF SERVANT to SERVE, you become the CHIEF LORDSHIP over God’s heritage. And we know in God’s set plan, humility in His service breeds His exaltation. Mark 10:35-45; Hebrews 5:7-9; Philippians 2:1-11; James 4:6-7, 10; 1 Peter 5:5-6.

To be in any Leadership and management in private, non-governmental or government or other public position of making a decision is good, but if you lack the UNDERSTANDING for leadership and governance, you will destroy the people’s invested TIME, EFFORTS, MATERIAL & FINANCE under your watch. INFORMED – knowledge and understanding – LEADERS, LEAD and GOVERN with humane and empathy while UNINFORMED – with insufficient knowledge and understanding – ends up to be RULERS, and are – bossy, authoritarian, autocratic and emperor-like. WHICH ARE YOU – LEADER or RULER?

More so, a LACK of UNDERSTANDING geared through set principle, will cause you to always REACT, make excuses and blame others for your inadequacy and failure; It will cause you not to take RESPONSIBILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY for your actions; and a lack of PURPOSEFUL UNDERSTANDING to achieving meaningful RESULTS.

UNDERSTANDING the PURPOSE of a thing, is the needed enabling grace in order to achieve meaningfully and be fulfilled in any driven cause. A lack of ALL NEEDED UNDERSTANDING makes people live a life without meaningful PURPOSE and FULFILMENT for themselves and others.

WISDOM equals to KNOWLEDGE plus UNDERSTANDING. And it’s based on PRINCIPLE; it’s GOOD and PROFITABLE; it’s a DEFENCE and life GIVING to one’s LIFE ESSENCE. Pursue after UNDERSTANDING in your KNOWING for your own good. Understanding helps one to APPLY the known to achieve meaningfully and purposefully for one’s life fulfillment. WISDOM IS THE APPLICATION OF KNOWLEDGE THROUGH UNDERSTANDING.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Wisdom is GOOD with an inheritance: and by it there is profit to them that see the sun. 12 For wisdom is a DEFENCE, and money is a defence: but the excellency of knowledge is, that wisdom GIVETH life to them that have it” Ecclesiastes 7:11-12.

IT’S ABOUT UNDERSTANDING THE TIMES

By Leave a Comment

IT’S ABOUT UNDERSTANDING THE TIMES – AND YOUR FAITH IS THE VICTORY: ONLY STAY STEADY IN THE WORD AND NOT IN THE NOISE!

“And of THE CHILDREN OF ISSACHAR, which were men that had UNDERSTANDING OF THE TIMES, to KNOW what Israel OUGHT TO DO; the heads of them were two hundred; AND ALL THEIR BRETHREN WERE AT THEIR COMMANDMENT” 1 Chronicles 12:32.

It’s time to REDEEM the time by UNDERSTANDING the moment wherein you are by the GRACE wherein you STAND upon in Christ Jesus stead. There are so many NOISE, NOSY, ANALYTICAL and NOISY people everywhere at this present global challenges in economic and pandemic state of the world; and the consequence on individual, national and global impact are already having great, great effect by the various analysis and or analyst. Lots of family and nations are already on ECONOMIC meltdown, painful job losses and bereavement of love ones and acquaintance; and more so, lots of businesses are remodeling their nature and outfits to suit the changes in time; and except an individual, just as the respective businesses, do an upgrade by innovating, creating, initiating and exploring in the way of doing life with the changes in time, it may be difficult to fit into this anchor leg of rat race to become and stay stable.

And unfortunately, lots of people are geared towards the noise around and about them, on a daily basis, rather than taking advantage of the moment to AWAKE from their sleep and slumbering statuesque; and to look inwards for an onwards and upwards trajectory match; and to get the illumination and enlightening that’s needed in order to update and upgrade skills and experience; and the needed know-how to take and get to the next phase or segment that shows up. The present moment calls for an inward and outward global view of life and how to take it along to affect oneself for good – both locally, nationally and in many other respects internationally; and this awakening call from a slumbering statuesque is gracious and empowering, in order to make one to EXPLORE, CREATE, INNOVATE, INITIATE and MANOEUVRE into a better and best phase in all that pertains to doing life, while in the moment, and when all is done and over. It’s God’s intent to deliver us from the present EVIL times but we have to awake through understanding our times in grace.

“Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ, 4 who gave himself for our sins, THAT HE MIGHT DELIVER US FROM THIS PRESENT EVIL WORLD, according to the WILL of God and our Father: 5 to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen” Galatians 1:3-5.

It’s UNDERSTANDING the TIMES to plan, evolve, explore, create, initiate by the WORD of God through FAITH for the UNSEEN to be made SEEN – that is, made REAL because of your God given endowment within (Hebrews 11:1-3). It’s time to put on the gear of FAITH to plan, prepare and pursue through DILIGENCE, that VISION that you’ve written, which only your eyes have seen, ears have heard and not yet in any man’s thoughts or ideals – (Habakkuk 2:1-4; 1 Corinthians 2:9-10). It’s time to make that SET VISION simplified to your understanding – that is, to read it over and over again, until it develops within you before you take a FLIGHT – I mean, to RUN with it. You have no reason to FAIL by faith. FAITH gives the VICTORY and TRIUMPH; and the enabling to OVERCOME graciously and gracefully OVER the world set system and impact in our lives.

My earnest PRAYER would be that you as a child of God, is not left behind in been able to do LIFE and live GODLY because you are overwhelmed of the changes that will confront or already confronting your FAITH in Christ Jesus stead; and to some, are unfortunately UNPREPARED as the HORSE, to DILIGENTLY win their day to day by the grace of God wherein they stand.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!
