*SUFFERINGS & GLORY*
8th March, 2026

READ: 2 Timothy 1:1-18

But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ’s sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.

1 Peter 4:13

Suffering is always followed by glory. When people run away from the suffering, they are also inadvertently running away from the glory of God. The reasons why many people avoid full-time ministry is because they do not want to suffer any loss for Jesus Christ. If you lose your life for Jesus, you will gain it. If you suffer for Christ, you will receive glory.

By running away from any form of suffering whatsoever, you are fleeing from your greatest blessings in Christ. Remember that Jesus Christ is worthy to receive glory and honour and power and riches and blessing because He endured the cross and suffered the shame for us. How will you ever be worthy to receive glory and honour and power and riches and blessing if you are not prepared to endure your cross?

Onesiphorus was not ashamed of Paul’s chains but identified with Paul’s shame and disgrace. It is important to identify with the shame and disgrace that is associated with ministry. God has a plan for you. Immerse yourself into His will. Do not stand on the fringes and taste of the ministry without partaking in the sufferings.

You are promised glory after you have been a partaker of the sufferings. “For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;” (2 Corinthians 4:17).

God is going to bless you mightily with His glory as you serve Him and fully accept to be immersed into whatever sufferings, shame, calumny, slander, defamation, horror or pain inflicted on you. God is great! At the end of the day, you will enjoy His glory.

"Wherever you walk, their counsel can lead you. When you sleep, they will protect you. When you wake up in the morning, they will advise you.

For these commands and this teaching are a lamp to light the way ahead of you. The correction of discipline is the way to life."

"Mark out a straight path for your feet; then stick to the path and stay safe."
Proverbs 6:22-23; Proverbs 4:26

Dear Friends,

The ski trails on the mountains have ropes which designate the boundary markers. Staying within the boundaries give a safe, fun and freeing time on the slopes. There are warning signs on these ropes which caution what can happen if someone ignores them and ski's beyond them: "There is no ski patrol or protection for those who venture out beyond the boundary markers. Your safety and life are in danger."

Despite this, many people have ignored these warnings and ski outside of them. Every year, someone needs to be rescued at great expense and some have even lost their lives: all for a "fun time."

God has given us boundary markers for our lives that provide a secure, free and enjoyable lifestyle. They are all in God's Word. Proverbs 6:22-23 says:

"Wherever you walk, their counsel can lead you. When you sleep, they will protect you. When you wake up in the morning, they will advise you.

For these commands and this teaching are a lamp to light the way ahead of you. The correction of discipline is the way to life."

So often we feel that freedom is doing whatever we want when we want to. However, true freedom is found in the security of following the commands of God. God's protection is so that we can enjoy His promises. He wants to protect us so He can provide for us!

We have the freedom to ignore the boundary markers. God won't stop us. However, He longs to show us how incredibly secure, free, and blessed life can be when we follow His path.

"Mark out a straight path for your feet; then stick to the path and stay safe." (Proverbs 4:26 NLT)

*HEARING BRINGS CHANGE*
27th February, 2026

READ: Jeremiah 13:15-18

Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.

2 Timothy 2:1-2

The scripture says clearly, “Hear ye and give ear! Be not proud!” In other words, pride is the reason why people stop listening to preaching. When you do not have time to listen to the preaching of the Word, the Lord’s flock is carried away captive. The congregation is affected by your failure to soak in preaching and teaching properly.

Paul said to Timothy, “Do you remember the things you heard from me? Just preach the same things!” Timothy’s ability to preach was dependent on his ability to hear. This is the reason why deafness goes with dumbness. Most deaf people are also dumb. They cannot speak because they cannot hear. Paul was telling Timothy to keep hearing so that he could keep preaching.

Are you soaking in preaching messages? Do you have time to lie on the floor and spend hours in the presence of God? One day, I found about eighty-five messages on a particular topic, preached by a man of God whom I admired. I listened to all the eighty-five messages. Then I listened to them over and over again. As the weeks and months passed by, I noticed an upgrade in the anointing that was on my life.

I was listening to a message by Kenneth Hagin and heard him say, “In the ministry, it is important to bend over backwards to be honest.” That statement stayed with me as I grew up in the ministry. I have watched how people in the ministry lie and pretend so much, thereby destroying themselves. Dishonesty will destroy your whole life and ministry. Hearing a side comment on honesty can change your life. I heard that for myself many years ago when I was listening to a message and it changed my life.

*YOUNG & FRUITFUL*
26th February, 2026

READ: Ecclesiastes 12:1:1-14

It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth.

Lamentations 3:27

The truth is that the most fruitful years of your life are between twenty-five and fifty. Every woman is most fertile between the ages of twenty-five and fifty. Usually, after the age of fifty she is not able to have children.

Nature is an amazing teacher. Nature teaches you what to do, what to expect and when to expect it. Nature teaches you that you will be most productive for God between twenty-five and fifty. God wants to use you when you are in your twenties, thirties and forties. Unfortunately, many people want to give themselves to God when they are in their forties and fifties and in the twilight of their lives.

Although you have many more desires and longings as a young man, your ability to fight back is greater. You can pray longer when you are a young man. It takes strength to pray. You can fast longer when you are a young man. It takes strength to fast!

I once had the privilege of being on a flight with a football star who had played in the English Premier League. He was so famous that his name had become a household name and all the fans had a pet name for him. He was a little older when I spoke to him. I asked him whether his ability to play had changed as he had grown older.

He explained, “Now, when I shoot at the goal, the shots are not as accurate as they used to be. The ball would go a little to the right instead of going straight. When I was younger, my shots were sharper and straighter.” He was describing many little changes that had taken place as he grew a little older. The changes in your body are not easy to detect.

Happy Birthday, Bishop Paul! May the Lord continue to grant you wisdom, strength, and fresh anointing as you lead His people.

*SOURCE OF WEALTH*
1st September, 2025

READ: 1 Samuel 25:2-17

Shall I then take my bread, and my water, and my flesh that I have killed for my shearers, and give it unto men, whom I know not whence they be?

1 Samuel 25:11

When God blesses you and gives you great increase you are expected to remember the house of God. Your wealth is supposed to produce wealth for the kingdom of God. Become a source of wealth for the church by remembering the Lord when you are blessed. Nabal is the best example of someone who did not remember the Lord when he experienced prosperity. When you do not remember God’s house in your day of prosperity, you are good for nothing.

Be the salt of the earth by being a source of wealth for the kingdom of God. Become a source of wealth for the church by giving special offerings.

Moreover, because I have set my affection to the house of my God, I have of mine own proper good, of gold and silver, which I have given to the house of my God, over and above all that I have prepared for the holy house.

1 Chronicles 29:3

Be the salt of the earth by being a source of wealth for the kingdom of God. Become a source of wealth for the church by helping when there is a need.

I have received my full pay and have more than enough. I have everything I need. That’s because Epaphroditus brought me the gifts you sent. They are a sweet-smelling offering. They are a gift that God accepts. He is pleased with it. My God will meet all your needs. He will meet them in keeping with his wonderful riches. These riches come to you because you belong to Christ Jesus.

Philippians 4:15-19 (NIRV)

*1 Samuel 25:2-17 KJV*
2 And there was a man in Maon, whose possessions were in Carmel; and the man was very great, and he had three thousand sheep, and a thousand goats: and he was shearing his sheep in Carmel.
3 Now the name of the man was Nabal; and the name of his wife Abigail: and she was a woman of good understanding, and of a beautiful countenance: but the man was churlish and evil in his doings; and he was of the house of Caleb.
4 And David heard in the wilderness that Nabal did shear his sheep.
5 And David sent out ten young men, and David said unto the young men, Get you up to Carmel, and go to Nabal, and greet him in my name:
6 And thus shall ye say to him that liveth in prosperity, Peace be both to thee, and peace be to thine house, and peace be unto all that thou hast.
7 And now I have heard that thou hast shearers: now thy shepherds which were with us, we hurt them not, neither was there ought missing unto them, all the while they were in Carmel.
8 Ask thy young men, and they will shew thee. Wherefore let the young men find favour in thine eyes: for we come in a good day: give, I pray thee, whatsoever cometh to thine hand unto thy servants, and to thy son David.
9 And when David's young men came, they spake to Nabal according to all those words in the name of David, and ceased.
10 And Nabal answered David's servants, and said, Who is David? and who is the son of Jesse? there be many servants now a days that break away every man from his master.
11 Shall I then take my bread, and my water, and my flesh that I have killed for my shearers, and give it unto men, whom I know not whence they be?
12 So David's young men turned their way, and went again, and came and told him all those sayings.
13 And David said unto his men, Gird ye on every man his sword. And they girded on every man his sword; and David also girded on his sword: and there went up after David about four hundred men; and two hundred abode by the stuff.
14 But one of the young men told Abigail, Nabal's wife, saying, Behold, David sent messengers out of the wilderness to salute our master; and he railed on them.
15 But the men were very good unto us, and we were not hurt, neither missed we any thing, as long as we were conversant with them, when we were in the fields:
16 They were a wall unto us both by night and day, all the while we were with them keeping the sheep.
17 Now therefore know and consider what thou wilt do; for evil is determined against our master, and against all his household: for he is such a son of Belial, that a man cannot speak to him.

*DON’T BE OFFENDED*
21st June, 2025

READ: Mark 14:13-31

And Jesus saith unto them, all ye shall be offended because of me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered.

Mark 14:27

Whenever God’s servants are attacked, there is a scattering and an offending of the sheep that takes place. It is important to overcome offences that occur in your life because of attacks on God’s precious servants. Jesus predicted that people would be offended because of what would happen to Him. If He were really such a good person, why would such things happen to Him?

Jesus exited the city of Jerusalem on a cross. He was whipped and beaten like a scoundrel and a villain. Few people cared to know the real truth. No one really was ready to stand up to face the authorities and prevent the injustice from being meted out to Jesus Christ, Saviour of the world.

Whenever there is trouble in a leader’s life, many people do not understand exactly what is happening. Some think he is guilty and some are confused. Many do not really care about what is happening.

For those who are real sticklers for righteousness, a leader’s troubles can tip them away and make them turn against their own leader. At different stages of the ministry, I have had conflicts with different people and experienced crises after crises. Each time, I noticed the hearts of the people had these three responses - some were confused, others believed the stories, and others did not believe any bad thing about me.

You will be surprised about how far from the truth the stories out there are. You will be amazed about the variant rumours that spread from talebearer to talebearer. Those who love you will never believe bad things about you. Do not be offended because a man of God you love and admire is under fire. It is normal and expected for God’s servants to go through fiery trials and temptations.
