Spiritual Integrity is the Hallmark of the Christian Faith

Hello Readers & Followers,

I hope you are well.

Spiritual integrity is having the courage to live an honest life. Proverbs 11:3 says "Good people [People with integrity] will be guided by honesty [innocence]; dishonesty will destroy [devastate] those who are not trustworthy."

Spiritual integrity is doing what is right even when no one is watching. Proverbs 10:9 says "Whoever walks in integrity walks securely, but whoever takes crooked paths will be found out."

Spiritual integrity is living a consistent life, and having words and actions that align with the Word of God. Proverbs 12:22 says "Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord, but those who act faithfully are His delight."

Spiritual integrity is about being a promise keeper, you mean what you say, you keep your words and you do what you say you will do.  Proverbs 20:7 says "The righteous who walks in his integrity— blessed are his children after him!"

Are you a person of integrity?

Overcoming Hurt Using Christ's Word

Hello Readers & Followers,

I hope you are well.

Jesus said in Matthew 5:43 that you have heard people say, “Love the people who are your friends but hate those who want to hurt you." It's a lot easier to love people who share the same values and have similar character qualities as you, isn't it? And to despise/hate/dislike/be angry/be bitter to those who have hurt you? 

Jesus also said in Luke 9:23-27 that if anyone wants to be His disciple or anyone who says he or she is a follower of Christ, you must give up your own way of thinking, your own way of doing things and you are to surrender to His ways as this is when you are truly living as a Christian. 

The Holy Spirit would like to use your hurt to grow your faith in Him and to help you produce Godly Fruit if you allow Him and yield to Him.

Character Qualities To Dwell in God's Presence

Hello Readers & Followers,

I hope you are well.

I would like you to learn about the character qualities of those who are dwelling in God's presence as this would allow you to reflect on your character qualities.

David asked the Lord who is allowed to enter God's presence? Who is allowed to worship our Lord continuously? And who are the people that are close to the Lord? Psalm 15:2-5 says:

Those who lead blameless lives and do what is right, speaking the truth from sincere hearts.

Those who refuse to gossip or harm their neighbours or speak evil of their friends.

Those who despise flagrant sinners, and honour the faithful followers of the Lord, and keep their promises even when it hurts.

Those who lend money without charging interest, and who cannot be bribed to lie about the innocent. Such people will stand firm forever.

In line with Psalm 15 that you have just read, what do you think are the qualities required to dwell in God’s presence?

The Very Essence of The Christian Faith | The Just Shall Live By Faith

Hello Readers & Followers,

Happy New Year!

I hope you are settling into the new year and progressing well. Today, I would like to encourage you to embrace living by faith. Many times, I hear people get offended or compromise the truth of God's Word or lie or take actions that the Lord would not be pleased with, and I usually ask myself, "Was that action motivated by faith in God's Word or faith in the individual's emotions?" In the Bible, at least 4 times, the Word of God says that the 'Just/Righteous shall live by faith." Have a read at Habakkuk 2:4, Romans 1:17, Galatians 3:11 and Hebrews 10:38.

God said He does not take pleasure in individuals who do not live by faith (Hebrews 10:38b). 

What does it mean for "The Just To Live By Faith?"

The "Just" are individuals who strive to follow the teachings and commandments of our Lord Jesus, and who recognise that to live a godly life and a life of integrity, they have a duty not to stray from the teachings of the Lord, even when temptations arise or when their emotions are running high or when the walks of the flesh, pride of life and the lust of the eyes want to influence them or when things look gloomy and unclear, the "Just" would choose to put their trust in God's Word. 

Did you know that the devil works through the flesh? Thus, as a Christian, we have the flesh to contend with in this world; we must walk in victory over the flesh. Paul said he constantly had to discipline himself so that his flesh would not control him. 1 Corinthians 9:27 (NLT) says "I discipline my body like an athlete, training it to do what it should. Otherwise, I fear that after preaching to others I myself might be disqualified."

The "Just Would Live By Faith" by ensuring that their emotions, the societal culture that is against the teachings of God's Word, do not determine how they live.

The "Just Would Live By Faith" by fighting the good fight of faith (1 Timothy 6:12); this is the only fight that the Just gets involved in as they know that as a follower of Jesus Christ, they must strive to live in a way that shows that they belong to Jesus. 

Would you describe yourself as living as 'The Just?'

Have a lovely evening!

Embrace The Character Of Christ In Your Words

Hello Readers & Followers,

I hope you had a wonderful Christmas filled with joy and blessings. Wishing you and your family every blessing this season.

Recently, I have observed how critical spirit is spreading everywhere. Sometimes they are vulgar words, harmful words that some 'Christians' say behind people's backs or they openly write on their social media platforms or within the comments section of a social media post. Also, I have seen people who are bold enough to speak hurtful and harmful words to others. God wants you to be bold to stand up for Christ and not to be bold to say or do evil things. 

As Christians, Jesus is wanting those who profess to be His children to embrace His character in their words.

The Word of God says "Do not let unwholesome [foul, profane, worthless, vulgar] words ever come out of your mouth, but only such speech as is good for building up others, according to the need and the occasion, so that it will be a blessing to those who hear [you speak]." - Ephesians 4:29 AMP.

When you practise the above Scripture, a lot of things will change about how you speak or write. One thing that I'd like you to be aware of is the role of your association. Suppose you associate with those who constantly speak negatively about others or speak harmful/hurtful words about others before you know it, you'd also start speaking like your association to feel 'belong.' Suppose you are also mentored by someone or you listen to a preacher who constantly criticises others, you are likely to start copying his or her behaviour without realising it. 

Think seriously about how you live. Watch carefully for danger. Remember that the devil is your enemy, he wants unwholesome talk to come out of you constantly so that you do not embrace the character of Christ. 

God said in His Word "The time is coming when everything that is covered up will be revealed, and all that is secret will be made known to all and whatever you have said in the dark will be heard in the light, and what you have whispered behind closed doors will be shouted from the housetops for all to hear!" - Luke 12:2-3 NLT.

When all your words are judged by our Lord Jesus Christ, would you pass the judgment test?

Reflect on the Year 2024, would you say you have reflected Christ's character in your words?

An Overview of the Year 2024

Hello Readers & Followers,

It has been a privilege to minister at these places this Year.

This Year 2024, I have seen the Lord move powerfully across the UK. 

This Year 2024, I have seen the beauty of unity in the Body of Christ, particularly among some church leaders (Reverends, Parish Pastors & Music Ministers).

This Year 2024, I have observed that humans still yearn for healthy relationships, and a church is a beautiful place to build healthy and Godly relationships among Christians.

Thanks be to Jesus for all that He has done in the Year 2024.

What is your overview of the Year 2024?

God Can Change Your Story

Dear Readers & Followers,

I hope you are well.

Just as God changed these women's lives in the graphic image below, God can change your story and lead you to fulfil His Good Plans for your life, if you allow Him and trust in Him. God said in His Word in Jeremiah 29:11 (ICB) "I say this because I know what I have planned for you, says the Lord. I have good plans for you. I don’t plan to hurt you. I plan to give you hope and a good future."

That's right, God's plan is to give you hope and a good future.
