• THE NAME THAT RULES HEAVEN AND EARTH

    And Jesus Came And Spake Unto Them, Saying, All Power Is Given Unto Me In Heaven And In Earth" (Matthew 28:18 KJV).


    When the Lord Jesus declared, "...All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth," He made a proclamation no earthly ruler could ever truthfully make. Throughout history, mighty empires arose with extraordinary influence and vast dominions.

    The Pharaohs ruled with terrifying authority in Egypt. Nebuchadnezzar expanded Babylon's greatness across nations. The Persians, the Greeks, and later the Romans each dominated the world in their time. Yet, every one of those empires eventually crumbled.

    However, while Rome still stood in all its pride and "Glory," the Lord Jesus came on the scene with a higher dominion. This wasn't merely political authority or earthly influence but absolute authority over all realms, visible and invisible, celestial and terrestrial. No emperor ever possessed that. No king ever ruled both heaven and earth. Only the Lord Jesus declared such authority.

    This was why the disciples were so fiercely persecuted. They proclaimed another Kingdom while Caesar was still emperor. They preached a Name greater than Rome's authority, and the rulers of that age couldn't tolerate it. Yet, while they all faded away, the dominion of Christ continued increasingly unabated.

    Hebrews 13:8 says, "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever." His authority hasn't diminished. His Name hasn't weakened through the ages. The same Name that healed the sick, raised the dead, cast out devils, and shook nations in Bible days carries the same power today.

    More wonderfully, He's given us the power of attorney, the legal right and divine authority to act in His stead. When you speak in the Name of Jesus, you're not uttering mere words; you're exercising authority from the One who rules heaven and earth. Therefore, never be intimidated by earthly systems, oppositions, or circumstances.

    Empires may rise and fall, governments may change, and human powers may fade, but the Name of the Lord Jesus remains eternally supreme. Use that Name with boldness. Use it to enforce His will in your world, for He rules over all, now and forever. Hallelujah!

  • Good morning, brethren.
    1. Morning devotion for today.

    MD.i. MORNING TEA
    THE WORD FOR TODAY
    FRIDAY JULY 24, 2O26.
    "DON'T LOOSE YOUR COMPASSIONATE EDGE (2)"

    '…Faith…if it does not have works, is dead.’  James 2:17 NKJV

    MOTHER TERESA said, ‘The biggest disease today isn’t leprosy or cancer. It’s the feeling of being uncared for, unwanted—of being deserted and alone.’ As a result, she spent her life rescuing sick babies and giving dignity to the dying. Asked why she did it, she replied, ‘Because Jesus did.’ What a great answer! When simultaneous disasters hit different countries around the world, humanitarian organisations say we suffer from ‘donor fatigue’. Let’s add one more: ‘compassion failure.’ Philosopher Miguel de Unamuno wrote, ‘Warmth, warmth, more warmth! For we are dying of cold and not of darkness. It is not the night that kills, but the frost.’ Think about this: of the 1,189 chapters in the Bible, 250 contain the words of the prophets. That’s roughly 25 percent. Half of what they say denounces sin and the other half condemns those who see human suffering and do nothing about it. Yet events that horrified those same prophets take place in our world every day, and we’re immune to them. Like wearing a watch, you get used to it and after a while you don’t even notice it. But the prophets noticed! They never became desensitised to sin—or human suffering. And you mustn’t either. You say, ‘But my main focus at the moment is on building up my faith.’ That’s a good thing; but never forget that ‘Faith by itself, if it does not have works [of compassion], is dead.’

    FRIDAY 24TH JULY, 2026```


    *DON'T BE A COLLATERAL VICTIM* 🫵🏽🏽‍🏽‍🏽🏽‍🏽

    ```TEXT:JOSHUA 12:1-6```

    ```KEY VERSE:``` _*"Now these are the kings of the land, which the children of Israel smote, and possessed their land on the other side Jordan toward the rising of the sun, from the river Arnon unto mount Hermon, and all the plain on the east" (JOSHUA 12:1).*_

    *There are people who sleep walk into disaster, through either arrogance, pride or sheer hubris. It may be that they had recorded successes in previous battles, or have become famous for their accomplishments. They may deem themselves to be invincible, and either declare a war that's totally unnecessary, or inject themselves into other people's battles. In the end, they become the victims of their ego and exaggerated sense of power and importance.*

    *This is what happened to the kings of the nations on the east of River Jordan. The children of Israel were on a journey ordered by the Almighty God. They were heading to the land of Canaan, in fulfilment of the promise God made to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Their land was not part of Canaan, and therefore, was not intended to be inherited by the Israelites. The inheritance of the Israelites was to be solely Canaan, the land flowing with milk and honey. But on their way, the Israelites encountered nations that had heard about the supernatural work of God in bringing them out of Egypt. Although the Israelites did not declare war against them, these nations, some out of unfounded fear of losing their territory, and others out of envy and hatred against this nation that had a God that can subdue, humble and defeat Egypt, the great world power of the time, took it on themselves to stop Israel from progressing towards their land of promise. One of such kings was Sihon, king of the Amorites, whose nation was mainly a lush vegetation sandwiched by rivers and plain land that was a haven for pastoralists and for other forms of agriculture. The other king was Og, king of Bashan, a land of the remnants of the giants, with similar topography as the land of the Amorites. When they rose against the Israelites, they were roundly defeated, their kingdoms destroyed and their land confiscated by Moses. He subsequently allocated the land to two and half tribes of Israel, which desired to settle there because it was suitable for their vocation as pastoralists. Had those nations stayed out of the way of the Israelites, they would have remained in their land.*

    *We must be wise and not take on battles that are not ours, whether out of sympathy with other people or to prove that we are powerful. As believers, we have more than enough battles against principalities and powers, rulers of the darkness of this world, spiritual wickedness in high places, against sin and Satan. The armour Christ has given us is intended to defeat these adversaries. It is not to be wasted on self-imposed battles that do not benefit the kingdom of God. Those who engage in the wrong battles suffer great loss, and live to regret it for the rest of their lives. Let us focus on the assignment Christ has given us, namely, taking the gospel to the world of sinners, and endeavouring to bring as many as are willing, into the kingdom of God.*

    *DIVINE FRESHNESS* 🫵🏽🏽‍🏽‍🏽🏽‍🏽🏽

    ```TEXT:PSALM 1:1-6```

    ``` MEMORY VERSE:``` _*"And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper" (PSALM 1:3).*_

    *Freshness implies newness of life, originality, and the absence of weakness or death. It is always God's will that His creatures be strong, hale, and hearty. The reverse, however, is the case with many who live in continual weakness, pain, and disability.*

    *God provides the means of drawing from His life for energy. Still, instead of utilizing the provision, they resort to the use of hard drugs and destructive substances for strength and vitality.*

    *Our passage for today unveils simple steps for young people to enjoy God's divine freshness. One, they must abstain from the way, walk, and counsel of the wayward and wicked. Two, they should delight in, read and meditate daily on God's word.*

    *Three, they should appropriate the avalanche of God's blessings and prosperity through prayer and faith. Four, they should not meddle with the ungodly. Friend, the ungodly experience dryness instead of divine freshness. They go through harrowing experiences since they are cut off from God, the source of life and all goodness.*

    *Would you like to be renewed and transformed? Call on the Lord God, today.*

    ```QUOTE:``` _*Freshness implies newness.*_

    ```CHALLENGE:``` _*Stay rooted in Christ, and never run dry!*_

    ```FRIDAY 24TH JULY, 2026```

    *THE FOOL IN FULL* 🫵🏽🏽‍🏽‍🫸🏽🏽🏽‍🏽

    ```PSALM 53:1-6```



    ```Key Verse:``` _*"The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that doeth good" (Psalm 53:1).*_



    An extract from _Merriam Webster_ dictionary goes thus: *"Something is said to be 'in full' when it has come to the highest or the fullest state of degree, when it is at the uttermost extent or when it is complete, especially in details, number, or duration."*

    The fool in full is the greatest fool that will ever live on earth. He breathes in the air made by God, cultivates the soil created by God, and eats out of the produce thereof, lives in the world God created and enjoys the gift of life given by God, to mention a few; and yet, turns around to say "there is no God."

    The fool deliberately denies the existence of God despite the many proofs of God's existence. He sees the sun, the moon, the stars, the seas and the uncountable creatures in it, but never pauses to ask: *"Who made the world?"* The things he sees tell him there is God, but in his heart, he refuses to give Him the glory.

    There is, however, another fool who accepts there is God but refuses to accept His gift of salvation through Jesus Christ. This category of fools claim they can worship the Living God the way they like. They corrupt the way of worshipping Him; worshipping idols, the work of their hands. The fool can never do what is good before God.

    *You should not be a fool. Believe in the only true God and in Jesus Christ, whom He has sent. Turn away from all corrupt and abominable thoughts and actions. Then you will be saved from the foolishness of this world.*



    ```rayer:``` _*Thank You Lord, for delivering me from the foolishness of unbelief.*_ 🏽

    *REHEARSAL OF GOD'S FAITHFULNESS*

    *TEXT:* JOSHUA 12:1-6.

    1.Now these are the kings of the land, which the children of Israel smote, and possessed their land on the other side Jordan toward the rising of the sun, from the river Arnon unto mount Hermon, and all the plain on the east:
    2 Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt in Heshbon, and ruled from Aroer, which is upon the bank of the river Arnon, and from the middle of the river, and from half Gilead, even unto the river Jabbok, which is the border of the children of Ammon;
    3 And from the plain to the sea of Chinneroth on the east, and unto the sea of the plain, even the salt sea on the east, the way to Bethjeshimoth; and from the south, under Ashdothpisgah:
    4 And the coast of Og king of Bashan, which was of the remnant of the giants, that dwelt at Ashtaroth and at Edrei,
    5 And reigned in mount Hermon, and in Salcah, and in all Bashan, unto the border of the Geshurites and the Maachathites, and half Gilead, the border of Sihon king of Heshbon.
    6 Them did Moses the servant of the LORD and the children of Israel smite: and Moses the servant of the LORD gave it for a possession unto the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh.

    *Timeless Truth:*_"Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits"_ (Psalm 103:2).


    *INTRODUCTION*

    From creation, God has been engaged in doing great and new wonders. Some are penned down in the Bible while there are many more that have been experienced by individuals, families, communities and nations since creation of man. The fact that God is immutable guarantees that those miracles can be repeated and increased in greatness and number. One of the greatest ways to strengthen faith is to deliberately rehearse God's faithfulness and meditate on those past wonders of God. Throughout Scripture, God often instructed His people to remember His mighty acts so that they would trust Him for future victories. Israel's conquest of the Amorites under Sihon and the later record of those victories in Joshua remind us that God's past interventions are powerful testimonies of His unfailing covenant. Every believer should cultivate the habit of recalling God's goodness instead of dwelling on past fears or failures. As we recount His faithfulness, our confidence in His promises grows.

    *1.Arrogant Courting of Battles*

    Israel peacefully requested passage through the land of Sihon, king of the Amorites, but Sihon arrogantly rejected the request and chose war instead (Numbers 21:21–25). It is the norm in military warfare that you don't fight those who come and prefer peace to war. The worst is to lead them as captives. Sihon had taken pride in defeating Moab and taking her possessions (Numbers 21:26-2). Their victory over Moab was celebrated as it became a song in the land. He was optimistic and emboldened that he could repeat the same feat against Israel. However, he was thoughtless and proud. His pride blinded him to the fact that he was fighting against God's covenant people. It is dangerous and risky to fight against the covenant people of God. The battle ended in complete defeat of Sihon because no human strength can prevail against God's purpose.
    b. Believers have the domineering power of Jesus Christ to crush every power of the adversaries. However, this is not a license for believers to arrogantly court and tempt the people of darkness to unnecessary warfare. When Herod wanted Jesus to perform some miracles for a show of power, Jesus declined because it was unnecessary (Luke 23:8). When Satan tempted Jesus to jump down from the mountain, Jesus also declined because it was an unnecessary show of power. Believers should avoid unnecessary boasting and fight in the name of the Lord that is borne out of arrogance or pride. Believers should never fear opposition, for God remains the Defender of those who trust Him. At the same time, we must guard against pride, remembering that arrogance always invites destruction.

    *Question*

    Am I trusting God's strength in life's battles, or am I relying on human confidence and pride?

    *2. Appreciative Counting of Blessings*

    Joshua carefully recorded the kings and their land, whom God had delivered into Israel's hands (Joshua 12:1–5). These verses are more than historical records—they are memorials of divine faithfulness. God's people are encouraged to remember every victory and every answered prayer. Gratitude protects the heart from discouragement and unbelief. When we regularly count our blessings, we discover that God's mercies greatly outweigh our trials. Thanksgiving also prepares us to receive greater blessings from the Lord. As the psalmist puts it, *"Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits."* This will take a diligent and deliberate effort like Joshua did when he wrote down and recalled the good wonders of God to himself and to the whole Israel.

    *Question*

    How often do I deliberately remember and thank God for His past faithfulness in my life?

    *3. Additions to Covenant for the Beloved*

    a. The conquered territories were not part of the promised Canaan inheritance. But Sihon and Og lost their land through their pride and arrogance and those blessings were taken from them and added to the children of Israel (Joshua 12:6).
    After getting victory, Moses assigned the conquered territory to the tribes of Reuben, Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh as their inheritance. God's faithfulness extends beyond victory in battle to the fulfillment of His covenant promises.
    b. There are several cases where God took away the assigned blessing of the arrogant and added them to the portion of the godly. Reuben and Esau were supposed to have the double blessings of their first born, but they both lost them through carelessness and profanity. Their blessings were added to Judah and Jacob respectively. Jesus warned the Ephesian Church of loss of ministry if they didn't repent from the loss of their first love and the immoral practices of the Nicolaitans(Revelation 2:5). He also warned the Pastor of Philadelphia that if he was not watchful, his crown would be taken from him and be given or added to another person.
    *"Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown"* (Revelation 3:11). Remember, King Saul lost his crown, which was supposed to be generational, to David. The same with Esau and none of them could get his back. Fight and be watchful to retain and enjoy all your blessings and inheritance assigned to you by God.

    *Question*

    Am I very watchful and prayerful in ensuring that my blessings and inheritance are not taken from me and transferred to another person?

    *Prayer Points*

    1.Heavenly Father, help me always remember and celebrate Your faithfulness in every season of my life .
    2.Lord, deliver me from every form of pride, boasting and unnecessary show of power and grant me victory over every battle confronting my faith .
    3.Give me a grateful heart that continually counts Your blessings instead of focusing on life's difficulties.
    4.Give Your children grace to be watchful and prayerful and don't allow anyone to take their assigned blessings and inheritance .

    2. Morning Prayer for today.

    MP.i. Morning Prayer

    A man's heart deviseth his way: but the LORD directeth his steps. ⏤ Proverbs 16:9

    To pray is to let go and let God take over. ⏤ Philip Yancey

    O God, our Father, we, Your children, wait for Your blessing before we go out to the work and care of this new day. We thank You for the blessings You gave us in our sleep. You have renewed our strength and restored what yesterday’s toil took from us. We are strong this morning and ready for another day’s work because of the blessings You gave us in our sleep.

    We consecrate our lives to You for this new day. Take us and use us as You will. We don’t want to make our own plans, for we are too short-sighted and would only plan for present comfort or earthly success. We would rather have You reveal Your plan for our day. It may not be easy, but we know it is wiser and better than our way could ever be, for You see the end from the beginning, and You choose the best things for us. We lay our plans at Your feet and ask You to use them if they are the best, but if not, to set them aside so that Your plan for the day may work unhindered in us.

    We pray for our neighbors. Some of them are sick. Remember them and grant them healing and restoration. Send them Your comfort in their pain, and let them be richly blessed by the experiences they are going through. Some of our neighbors have gone through sorrows. Heal their broken hearts and give them comfort that will make them stronger to bear their grief, and help them find the blessings You have hidden in their sorrow.

    Receive us now into Your care for this day; bless us, keep us, and use us as You will. We ask in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

He breathes in the air made by God, cultivates the soil created by God, and eats out of the produce thereof, lives in the world God created and enjoys the gift of life given by God, to mention a few; and yet, turns around to say "there is no God." The fool deliberately denies the existence of God despite the many proofs of God's existence. He sees the sun, the moon, the stars, the seas and the uncountable creatures in it, but never pauses to ask: *"Who made the world?"* The things he sees tell him there is God, but in his heart, he refuses to give Him the glory. There is, however, another fool who accepts there is God but refuses to accept His gift of salvation through Jesus Christ. This category of fools claim they can worship the Living God the way they like. They corrupt the way of worshipping Him; worshipping idols, the work of their hands. The fool can never do what is good before God. *You should not be a fool. Believe in the only true God and in Jesus Christ, whom He has sent.

Some are penned down in the Bible while there are many more that have been experienced by individuals, families, communities and nations since creation of man. The fact that God is immutable guarantees that those miracles can be repeated and increased in greatness and number. One of the greatest ways to strengthen faith is to deliberately rehearse God's faithfulness and meditate on those past wonders of God. Throughout Scripture, God often instructed His people to remember His mighty acts so that they would trust Him for future victories. Israel's conquest of the Amorites under Sihon and the later record of those victories in Joshua remind us that God's past interventions are powerful testimonies of His unfailing covenant. Every believer should cultivate the habit of recalling God's goodness instead of dwelling on past fears or failures. As we recount His faithfulness, our confidence in His promises grows. *1.Arrogant Courting of Battles* Israel peacefully requested passage through the land of Sihon, king of the Amorites, but Sihon arrogantly rejected the request and chose war instead (Numbers 21:21–25). It is the norm in military warfare that you don't fight those who come and prefer peace to war. The worst is to lead them as captives. Sihon had taken pride in defeating Moab and taking her possessions (Numbers 21:26-2). Their victory over Moab was celebrated as it became a song in the land. He was optimistic and emboldened that he could repeat the same feat against Israel. However, he was thoughtless and proud. His pride blinded him to the fact that he was fighting against God's covenant people. It is dangerous and risky to fight against the covenant people of God. The battle ended in complete defeat of Sihon because no human strength can prevail against God's purpose. b. Believers have the domineering power of Jesus Christ to crush every power of the adversaries. However, this is not a license for believers to arrogantly court and tempt the people of darkness to unnecessary warfare. When Herod wanted Jesus to perform some miracles for a show of power, Jesus declined because it was unnecessary (Luke 23:8). When Satan tempted Jesus to jump down from the mountain, Jesus also declined because it was an unnecessary show of power. Believers should avoid unnecessary boasting and fight in the name of the Lord that is borne out of arrogance or pride. Believers should never fear opposition, for God remains the Defender of those who trust Him. At the same time, we must guard against pride, remembering that arrogance always invites destruction. *Question* Am I trusting God's strength in life's battles, or am I relying on human confidence and pride? *2. Appreciative Counting of Blessings* Joshua carefully recorded the kings and their land, whom God had delivered into Israel's hands (Joshua 12:1–5). These verses are more than historical records—they are memorials of divine faithfulness. God's people are encouraged to remember every victory and every answered prayer. Gratitude protects the heart from discouragement and unbelief. When we regularly count our blessings, we discover that God's mercies greatly outweigh our trials. Thanksgiving also prepares us to receive greater blessings from the Lord. As the psalmist puts it, *"Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits."* This will take a diligent and deliberate effort like Joshua did when he wrote down and recalled the good wonders of God to himself and to the whole Israel. *Question* How often do I deliberately remember and thank God for His past faithfulness in my life? *3. Additions to Covenant for the Beloved* a. The conquered territories were not part of the promised Canaan inheritance. But Sihon and Og lost their land through their pride and arrogance and those blessings were taken from them and added to the children of Israel (Joshua 12:6). After getting victory, Moses assigned the conquered territory to the tribes of Reuben, Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh as their inheritance. God's faithfulness extends beyond victory in battle to the fulfillment of His covenant promises. b. There are several cases where God took away the assigned blessing of the arrogant and added them to the portion of the godly. Reuben and Esau were supposed to have the double blessings of their first born, but they both lost them through carelessness and profanity. Their blessings were added to Judah and Jacob respectively. Jesus warned the Ephesian Church of loss of ministry if they didn't repent from the loss of their first love and the immoral practices of the Nicolaitans(Revelation 2:5). He also warned the Pastor of Philadelphia that if he was not watchful, his crown would be taken from him and be given or added to another person. *"Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown"* (Revelation 3:11). Remember, King Saul lost his crown, which was supposed to be generational, to David. The same with Esau and none of them could get his back. Fight and be watchful to retain and enjoy all your blessings and inheritance assigned to you by God. *Question* Am I very watchful and prayerful in ensuring that my blessings and inheritance are not taken from me and transferred to another person? *Prayer Points* 1.Heavenly Father, help me always remember and celebrate Your faithfulness in every season of my life 🙏. 2.Lord, deliver me from every form of pride, boasting and unnecessary show of power and grant me victory over every battle confronting my faith 🙏. 3.Give me a grateful heart that continually counts Your blessings instead of focusing on life's difficulties. 4.Give Your children grace to be watchful and prayerful and don't allow anyone to take their assigned blessings and inheritance 🙏. *HYMN:* Count Your Blessings *BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:* EXODUS 26-29. 2. Morning Prayer for today. MP.i. Morning Prayer A man's heart deviseth his way: but the LORD directeth his steps. ⏤ Proverbs 16:9 To pray is to let go and let God take over. ⏤ Philip Yancey O God, our Father, we, Your children, wait for Your blessing before we go out to the work and care of this new day. We thank You for the blessings You gave us in our sleep. You have renewed our strength and restored what yesterday’s toil took from us. We are strong this morning and ready for another day’s work because of the blessings You gave us in our sleep. We consecrate our lives to You for this new day. Take us and use us as You will. We don’t want to make our own plans, for we are too short-sighted and would only plan for present comfort or earthly success. We would rather have You reveal Your plan for our day. It may not be easy, but we know it is wiser and better than our way could ever be, for You see the end from the beginning, and You choose the best things for us. We lay our plans at Your feet and ask You to use them if they are the best, but if not, to set them aside so that Your plan for the day may work unhindered in us. We pray for our neighbors. Some of them are sick. Remember them and grant them healing and restoration. Send them Your comfort in their pain, and let them be richly blessed by the experiences they are going through. Some of our neighbors have gone through sorrows. Heal their broken hearts and give them comfort that will make them stronger to bear their grief, and help them find the blessings You have hidden in their sorrow. Receive us now into Your care for this day; bless us, keep us, and use us as You will. We ask in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen. https://www.youdevotion.com/daily-prayer/miller/19/morning #taptapstudio #youdevotion.

  • Guard and Renew Your Mind (Romans 12:2)

    Your mind is a battlefield.

    Every day, you are exposed to thousands of messages telling you what to believe, what to desire, what success looks like, what happiness should look like, and what you should value.

    Social media.

    Music.

    Movies.

    Friends.

    News.

    Advertisements.

    The people you follow.

    The conversations you have.

    Even the thoughts you repeatedly tell yourself.

    Over time, these things can influence the way you think without you even realizing it.

    That's why the Bible says:

    “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.”

    Notice the word:

    Transformed.

    Following Jesus isn't simply about changing your appearance or using Christian language.

    Jesus wants to transform the way you think.

    The way you see yourself.

    The way you see other people.

    The way you respond to temptation.

    The way you handle money.

    The way you define success.

    The way you deal with disappointment.

    The way you make decisions.

    The way you understand your purpose.

    The world constantly tells you:

    “Follow your heart.”

    But Scripture teaches us to allow God to transform our hearts and minds through His truth.

    Not every thought you have deserves to be believed.

    Not every desire should be followed.

    Not every opinion online deserves your attention.

    Not every trend deserves your participation.

    Not every voice deserves influence over your life.

    You need discernment.

    Ask yourself:

    “Is this helping me become more like Christ?”

    That question can change the way you consume content.

    Before watching something, ask.

    Before listening to something repeatedly, ask.

    Before following someone online, ask.

    Before joining a conversation, ask.

    Before accepting a popular opinion, ask:

    “Does this agree with God's truth?”

    This doesn't mean you should hide from the world.

    Jesus called His followers to be lights in the world.

    But being in the world doesn't mean allowing the world's values to control you.

    You can use social media without allowing social media to define your worth.

    You can enjoy entertainment without allowing entertainment to shape your morality.

    You can learn from people without making people your ultimate authority.

    You can be aware of culture without becoming controlled by culture.

    Guard your mind.

    Because what repeatedly enters your mind eventually influences your heart, your words, and your actions.

    If you constantly consume negativity, don't be surprised when negativity begins shaping your outlook.

    If you constantly compare yourself with others, don't be surprised when you become dissatisfied with your own life.

    If you constantly consume materialism, don't be surprised when you begin believing that possessions determine your value.

    If you constantly listen to voices that tell you that you're not enough, don't be surprised when insecurity takes root.

    But the opposite is also true.

    Fill your mind with God's Word.

    Fill your mind with truth.

    Fill your mind with gratitude.

    Fill your mind with encouragement.

    Fill your mind with things that strengthen your faith.

    The more you know God's truth, the easier it becomes to recognize what contradicts it.

    That's why reading Scripture isn't just a religious routine.

    It renews your mind.

    When God's Word says you are created in His image, you don't have to let social media determine your worth.

    When God's Word says you are loved by God, you don't have to chase everyone's approval.

    When God's Word says God is with you, you don't have to allow fear to control every decision.

    When God's Word calls you to forgive, you don't have to allow bitterness to become your identity.

    When God's Word calls you to purity, you don't have to follow every desire.

    When God's Word calls you to serve, you don't have to live only for yourself.

    The battle for your life often begins with the battle for your mind.

    That's why Proverbs 4:23 tells us:

    “Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.”

    Be careful what you allow to take root.

    And when wrong thoughts enter your mind, don't panic.

    A thought appearing in your mind isn't the same as choosing to embrace it.

    Bring it to God.

    Challenge it with Scripture.

    Replace lies with truth.

    Replace fear with faith.

    Replace bitterness with forgiveness.

    Replace comparison with gratitude.

    Replace hopelessness with the promises of God.

    Replace pride with humility.

    Replace selfishness with love.

    This is part of spiritual growth.

    You don't become more like Christ overnight.

    It happens as God continually transforms you.

    Day by day.

    Thought by thought.

    Decision by decision.

    So today, take an honest look at what has been influencing your mind.

    What are you watching?

    What are you listening to?

    Who are you following?

    What conversations are you constantly participating in?

    What thoughts do you repeatedly tell yourself?

    Are these things drawing you closer to Christ—or pulling you away from Him?

    You don't have to keep consuming something simply because everyone else does.

    You don't have to follow every trend.

    You don't have to accept every popular opinion.

    You have permission to say:

    “This isn't good for my spiritual life.”

    Then walk away.

    Your mind is valuable.

    Your heart is valuable.

    Your spiritual life is valuable.

    Protect them.

    And most importantly, give them to God.

    Don't allow the world to shape you more than God's Word does. Let Christ transform you from the inside out.

    Today, choose one unhealthy influence to reduce and one godly influence to increase.

    Spend more time in Scripture.

    Pray.

    Worship.

    Choose wise friendships.

    Consume content that strengthens your faith.

    And ask God to renew your mind.

    What is one thing you need to remove from your mind or replace with God's truth today?

  • MINDFULNESS: THE WISDOM OF HOW WE TREAT ONE ANOTHER

    Being mindful is more than simply being aware.

    It is remembering that we share this world with other people.

    It means practicing manners, decorum, etiquette, and civility—not because we are trying to appear perfect, but because we recognize the dignity of others.

    Sometimes wisdom sounds like speaking.

    Sometimes wisdom sounds like listening.

    And sometimes wisdom sounds like silence.

    “A time to keep silence, and a time to speak.”
    — Ecclesiastes 3:7

    There are moments when our words can encourage, correct, defend, or bring healing.

    And there are moments when speaking out of anger, pride, impulse, or frustration can cause unnecessary harm.

    “Let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger.”
    — James 1:19

    The Bible reminds us that our words matter.

    “Death and life are in the power of the tongue.”
    — Proverbs 18:21

    And sometimes the wisest response is simply to be still.

    “Be still, and know that I am God.”
    — Psalm 46:10

    Being still does not mean being indifferent.

    Being quiet does not mean being weak.

    Being civil does not mean permitting wrongdoing.

    Jesus Himself demonstrated that there is a time for gentleness and a time for righteous confrontation. Scripture calls us to pursue truth, justice, mercy, and righteousness—not merely comfort or appearances.

    So mindfulness asks us:

    Is this the right time to speak?
    Is this the right way to speak?
    Does this need to be said?
    Am I listening as carefully as I am speaking?
    Will my words bring understanding—or unnecessary injury?

    And perhaps most importantly:

    Am I treating people as members of a family whom God has commanded me to love?

    “Love one another: as I have loved you.”
    — John 13:34

    “Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another.”
    — Romans 12:10

    Christian love is not pretending that everything is acceptable.

    It is not concealing injustice.

    It is not remaining silent when someone is being harmed.

    Rather, it means learning to speak truth with love, to correct without cruelty, to disagree without contempt, and to stand for what is right without abandoning compassion.

    “Speaking the truth in love…”
    — Ephesians 4:15

    There is tremendous wisdom in knowing the difference between silence that protects peace and silence that permits injustice.

    So today, let us be mindful.

    Mindful of our words.
    Mindful of our tone.
    Mindful of our surroundings.
    Mindful of other people’s dignity.
    Mindful of when to speak.
    Mindful of when to listen.
    Mindful of when to be still.

    And yes…

    Mind your P’s and Q’s.

    Not as an invitation to conceal who we are or to perform politeness for appearances—

    but as a gentle reminder to show respect, practice good manners, exercise self-control, and treat others with the dignity we hope to receive.

    Because kindness is not weakness.

    Civility is not compromise.

    Silence is not always surrender.

    And speaking up is not always unkind.

    Wisdom is knowing which moment requires which one.

    “Let all that you do be done in love.”
    — 1 Corinthians 16:14

And yes… Mind your P’s and Q’s. 😉 Not as an invitation to conceal who we are or to perform politeness for appearances— but as a gentle reminder to show respect, practice good manners, exercise self-control, and treat others with the dignity we hope to receive. Because kindness is not weakness. Civility is not compromise. Silence is not always surrender. And speaking up is not always unkind. Wisdom is knowing which moment requires which one. 🌿✨ “Let all that you do be done in love.” — 1 Corinthians 16:14

  • MONDAY MORNING PRAYER

    “GRACE TO EXPAND!”
    Scripture — Isaiah 54:2–3 (KJV)

    “Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thine habitations: spare not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes; For thou shalt break forth on the right hand and on the left...”

    Heavenly Father, we come before You this Monday morning with grateful hearts. Thank You for waking us up, giving us another day, and allowing us to begin a new week in Your presence.
    Lord, after receiving such a powerful Word, “GRACE TO EXPAND,” don't let us simply be hearers of the Word—give us the faith and courage to walk it out!
    Father, You said, “Enlarge the place of thy tent.” So enlarge our faith. Enlarge our vision. Enlarge our capacity. Enlarge our compassion. Enlarge our influence. Enlarge our ability to serve You and others.
    Where we have become comfortable, stretch us.
    Where we have become fearful, strengthen us.
    Where we have been thinking too small, expand our vision.
    Where we have experienced limitations, give us grace to break forth!
    Lord, as You lengthen our cords, strengthen our stakes. Give us strong prayer lives, strong families, strong marriages, strong relationships, strong churches, strong character, and an unshakable foundation in Your Word.
    This week, prepare us for what we have been praying for. Give us the discipline to handle the doors You open, the wisdom to steward the blessings You release, and the humility to remember that every increase comes from You.
    Father, bless those facing sickness, grief, financial pressure, family difficulties, uncertainty, or discouragement. Remind them that their present circumstances do not determine the limits of what You can do. Your grace is still sufficient, Your power is still mighty, and Your promises are still sure!
    We declare over this Monday and this entire week: We will not shrink back! We will not allow fear to limit what faith says is possible! We are making room for God to move!
    Stretch us without breaking us.
    Increase us without losing us.
    Bless us without pride consuming us.
    Expand us while keeping us anchored in You.
    Lord, give us GRACE TO EXPAND!
    We believe that we are entering a season where You are increasing our capacity for greater purpose, greater service, greater impact, and greater Kingdom work.
    We are enlarging the tent.
    We are lengthening the cords.
    We are strengthening the stakes.
    And by the grace of God, WE SHALL BREAK FORTH!
    In the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, we pray.
    AMEN!

    DECLARATION...

  • SERMON: HOW TO KNOW, RESIST AND DESTROY EVIL ALTARS
    Text: Judges 6:25-26 — "Tear down the altar of Baal that your father has, and build an altar to the LORD."
    Text 2: Acts 20:28 — "The church of God, which He obtained with His own blood."
    Key: Revelation 14:1-5 — As one of 144,000 sealed with Name of Jesus the Lamb on foreheads, blameless, firstfruits, alive with Lamb on Mt. Zion.

    INTRODUCTION:

    Church, an altar is a gate of transaction. Genesis 8:20 Noah built altar, God responded. Genesis 12:7 Abraham built altar where he settled, that land became protected.

    Evil altar is a demonic gate where Satan transacts against people, community, ministry. 1 Corinthians 10:20 — what they sacrifice they sacrifice to demons.

    God protects His people UNTIL they are sealed Rev 7:3. When sealed, they receive MORE divine shield — death is sent to unsealed, but sealed are safe from death Rev 9:4. We are that sealed people — looked after much more by God's love, devil cannot kill us, alive with Lamb on Mt. Zion, where we settle sea, trees, earth not allowed to be harmed until we are sealed.

    But many last age believers don't understand evil altars. but the 144000 will understand them, RESIST them, DESTROY them.

    PART 1: 6 EXAMPLES OF EVIL ALTARS — SO YOU CAN SEE THEM

    1. FAMILY / ANCESTRAL ALTAR
    Example: Judges 6:25 — "The altar of Baal that your father has." Gideon's own father had idol altar controlling family.
    Example: Numbers 23:1-3 — Balak told Balaam "Build me seven altars" to curse Israel.
    Signs: Hearing voices when no one present — "You will not marry, you will die like your father." Dreaming dead relatives calling you Deuteronomy 18:11 God forbids consulting dead. Near-success syndrome, backwardness Judges 6:3-4 Midianites destroyed harvest each time Israel planted. Constant misfortune in family.
    Intention: To keep you in cycle of fathers Exodus 20:5 — steal destiny.

    2. LAND / TERRITORIAL ALTAR
    Example: 1 Kings 18:19 — 450 prophets of Baal on high place controlling rain and territory. Daniel 10:13 — Prince of Persia — territorial spirit over land.
    Signs: Where you settle, business fails, ministry fights, same spot accidents, same sea storm like Bukasa. Mark 5:2 — man dwelling among tombs — territorial altar. Dreaming being pursued, dogs chasing.
    Intention: To claim ownership of where you settle Rev 7:3 says where sealed settle, earth, sea, trees cannot be harmed — but territorial altar tries to harm.

    3. MARINE / WATER ALTAR — SNAKES, PRESSING
    Example: 1 Samuel 5:2 — Dagon, god from sea, fell before Ark. Genesis 3:1 — serpent was marine.
    Signs: Dreaming snakes, water, swimming, mermaid, sex in dream, being pressed / choked in sleep, hearing voices near water or in night. Acts 8:7 — unclean spirits crying loud.
    Intention: To steal purity. Revelation 14:4 says 144,000 are undefiled virgins — not defiled — marine altar attacks purity.

    4. WITCHCRAFT / OCCULT ALTAR
    Example: Jeremiah 7:31 — Altar of Topheth where they passed children through fire. 2 Kings 23:10.
    Signs: Sickness defying medicine, objects moving, money disappearing, constant failure despite prayer. 1 Samuel 16:14 — Evil spirit tormented Saul.
    Intention: To kill John 10:10 — premature death, barrenness.

    5. DREAM POLLUTION ALTAR
    Example: Job 33:14-15 — God speaks in dream — Satan also pollutes dream.
    Signs: Eating in dream, sex in dream, seeing dead folks, snakes, dirty water, dogs. Matthew 13:25 — enemy sowed while men slept.
    Intention: To destroy through night transactions while you are unaware.

    6. MINISTRY OWNERSHIP ALTAR — "THIS CHURCH IS MINE" IMPLANT — ATTACKING MAJORITY PASTORS
    This is the altar that has bound many pastors in Kampala.

    Example: Diotrephes in 3 John 1:9 — "Who loves to have preeminence among them." Example: Ezekiel 28:2 — Prince of Tyre said "I am a god, I sit in seat of gods."

    But Bible says:
    Acts 20:28 — The church of God which He obtained with His own blood.
    Matthew 16:18 — I will build MY church — Not your church. MY church — Jesus speaking.
    1 Corinthians 6:19-20 — You are not your own, bought with price.
    Revelation 5:9 — By Your blood You ransomed people for God.

    How this altar works:
    A pastor enters church building at night and hears implant voice: "Leave, this church is mine, you will not build here." That is territorial altar that was there before church Acts 19:13-16 — demon said "Jesus I know, Paul I know, but who are you?"

    Or a family that gave land says "This church is on my land, so it is mine" — family altar speaking.

    Or pastor himself starts saying "MY church, MY members, MY ministry" — pride opens door to ownership altar, then God resists him James 4:6.

    Signs in ministry:
    Hearing voice in church: "This is my church"
    Fights over who owns church, constitution, money
    Church cannot grow beyond number — altar set limit
    Every new pastor chased away — founder spirit
    Members say "We are tired of this pastor, this is our fathers church"

    Intention: To steal what blood bought, to make Christ's church become man's property or demon's shrine. To destroy calling and make pastor blamable.

    PART 2: HOW WE RESIST THEM — AS 144,000 BLAMELESS FIRSTFRUITS

    1. KNOW YOU ARE SEALED BLAMELESS — NO LEGAL GROUND
    Revelation 14:4-5 — Not defiled, no lie in mouth, blameless. Psalm 24:3-4 — Clean hands, pure heart ascends.
    2 Corinthians 6:17 — Come out from among them. Stop fornication 1 Cor 6:15, stop consulting shrines Deut 18:10.
    Evil altar has no power on blameless life John 14:30 — Satan has nothing in Me — Jesus said.

    2. KNOW YOU HAVE HIGHER ALTAR — BLOOD OF JESUS THE LAMB
    Hebrews 12:24 — Blood of Jesus speaks better than blood of Abel and better than blood on evil altar.
    Colossians 2:14-15 — He cancelled record, disarmed rulers. Altar vs Altar — higher swallows lower Exodus 7:12.

    3. KNOW CHURCH BELONGS TO JESUS, NOT TO YOU, NOT TO ALTAR
    When implant says "This church is mine" — Answer: Matthew 16:18 — It is written — I will build MY church — You are liar! Acts 20:28 — This church is bought by blood of Jesus! I am only bondservant Revelation 7:3, not owner!

    PART 3: HOW WE DESTROY THEM — 4 WEAPONS OF SEALED 144,000

    All done at MIDNIGHT 12AM - 3AM Acts 16:25, with anointing oil on foreheads Rev 7:3, for 3 & 7 nights with fasting Matthew 17:21, and Holy Communion 1 Corinthians 10:18.

    WEAPON 1: BLOOD OF JESUS THE LAMB OF GOD
    Revelation 12:11 — Overcame by blood of Lamb and word of testimony.
    Exodus 12:13 — When I see blood I will pass over.
    Speak blood over church building, land, family, sleep.

    WEAPON 2: MIDNIGHT PRAYER WITH ANOINTING OIL ON FOREHEADS
    Acts 16:25-26 — At midnight Paul and Silas prayed and prison shook.
    Anoint foreheads — seal Revelation 7:3. Anoint doors of church, pulpit, land. Declare: This is sealed property of Jesus!

    WEAPON 3: FASTING 3 & 7 NIGHTS
    Matthew 17:21 — This kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting.
    Esther 4:16 — 3 nights to break death decree. 7 nights for total destruction. Fasting makes you more blameless — lifestyle of 144,000.

    WEAPON 4: HOLY COMMUNION — RAISING ALTAR OF GOD
    1 Corinthians 10:18 — Those who eat sacrifices participate in altar.
    When you eat communion, you raise Altar of God inside you — your body is temple 1 Cor 6:19. Evil altar must bow. 1 Cor 10:21 — You cannot drink cup of Lord and cup of demons.

  • What fruits are being displayed in our lives? If Jesus came to visit and asked our neighbour's, friends, parents, wife/husbands, colleagues and even strangers about our character, will we all be happy with the response?

    Fruits of the Spirit - Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness, Self-control

    Fruits of the Flesh - Hatred, enmity, hostility, misery, jealousy, bitterness, strive, dissentions, discord, outbursts of anger, wrath, impatience, cruelty, malice, harshness, wickedness, corruption, selfishness, unfaithfullness, betrayal, untrustworthiness, arrogance, brutality and pride.

    In a ever changing world its becoming more and more difficult to distinguish ourselves from the rest of the world. Let us strive in all things to feed our spirit more than our flesh.

    Peace be with you all

  • *ABUJA AND THE NEW ERA: AN ESCHATOLOGICAL VIEW OF THE GLOBAL ANGLICAN HEADQUARTERS*
    _By Postulant C. O. Oyadosu_

    *INTRODUCTION: NOT JUST GEOGRAPHY, BUT PROPHECY*

    To the glory of God, the announcement on *29 August 2026 in Recife, Brazil*, that the headquarters of the *Global Anglican Communion* will be established in *Abuja, Nigeria*, is more than an administrative decision. It is a prophetic marker.

    While some individuals in their opinion rightly calls for wisdom, humility, and global representation, we must also read this moment through the lens of *Scripture, history, and eschatology*. God is not surprised by geography. He ordains seasons.

    What we are witnessing is not Africa “taking over” Anglicanism. It is the *return of Christianity to its ancient African roots* and the beginning of an *End-Time Revival that will be led from the Global South*.

    *1. CHRISTIANITY IN AFRICA PREDATES EUROPEAN MISSIONS*

    The argument that Anglicanism must remain tied to Canterbury because “that is where it began” overlooks a deeper biblical and historical truth: *Africa was Christian before Europe was*.

    1. *Ethiopia*: The Ethiopian eunuch in *Acts 8:26-39* took the Gospel to Africa in the 1st century. The Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church traces its roots to the 4th century, with the _Garima Gospels_ and a canon of 81 books preserved for 1600 years.
    2. *North Africa*: Alexandria, Carthage, and Hippo produced giants like Athanasius, Origen, Tertullian, and Augustine. The Nicene Creed was hammered out in North Africa.
    3. *Christianity is not a Western export*. It is an Eastern and African faith that later flourished in Europe.

    Therefore, to locate the Global Anglican headquarters in *Abuja* is not innovation. It is *restoration*. It is God bringing the Communion back to a continent where the faith was planted by the Apostles themselves.

    As *Colossians 3:16* declares for this last Sunday of August: _“Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly.”_ That Word first dwelt richly in African soil.

    *2. AN ESCHATOLOGICAL READING: THE SHIFT TO THE GLOBAL SOUTH*

    Jesus said in *Matthew 24:14*: _“And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.”_

    Church historians like Philip Jenkins in _The Next Christendom_ have documented what the Spirit is doing: *The numerical and spiritual centre of Christianity has moved to Africa, Asia, and Latin America.*

    The decision to place the headquarters in *Abuja* fits this eschatological pattern:
    1. *Numerical strength*: Over 60% of active Anglicans today are in Africa. Nigeria alone has more Anglicans than all of UK, US, Canada and Australia combined.
    2. *Doctrinal clarity*: In a season where Western provinces are revising biblical teaching on marriage, life, and authority of Scripture, God is raising up a bastion of biblical orthodoxy in the South.
    3. *Missionary sending*: For 500 years the West sent missionaries to Africa. In this season, Africa is sending missionaries back to Europe, America, and Asia.

    This is not nationalism. This is *fulfillment*. The last shall be first, and the first last. *Mark 10:31*

    *3. WHY ABUJA? WHY NOW? PROPHECY AND REVIVAL*

    Many prophetic voices across Africa for the last 30 years have spoken of an *“End-Time Revival that will start from Nigeria and spread to the nations.”* Nigeria’s Anglican Church has been at the forefront of:
    - Church planting movements
    - Prayer and fasting culture
    - Defense of Scripture under persecution
    - Youth and evangelistic fervour

    The *G26 gathering in Abuja, March 2026*, was not accidental. It was a divine alignment. Abuja, the centrally located capital of the most populous black nation, becomes a *new Upper Room* from where the Spirit will be poured out.

    Just as Jerusalem was the geographic center for the 1st century Church in *Acts 1:8*, *Abuja can be a 21st century center* for a global outpouring — not because Nigeria is superior, but because God chooses weak and unlikely places to shame the wise. *1 Corinthians 1:27*

    *4. ANSWERING THE CONCERNS: INFRASTRUCTURE, GLOBALITY, AND OWNERSHIP*

    Some highly respected Anglican Church fathers in God raised legitimate practical concerns. But eschatology teaches us that *God provides infrastructure for what He ordains*.

    1. *On Infrastructure*: Joseph was sent to Egypt, Daniel to Babylon, and Paul to Rome. God never waits for perfect roads before He moves. As the headquarters grows, God will raise partners, technology, and diaspora Anglicans to build it. The early Church had no “international banking” either.
    2. *On Global Representation*: Yes, leadership must reflect Africa + Asia + Europe + Americas + Pacific. But global representation does not require a Western postcode. With virtual platforms and international flights to Abuja increasing daily, *global access is a matter of will, not geography.*
    3. *On “Looking African”*: The Gospel has always looked like the people who carry it. When it was in Rome it looked Roman. In Canterbury it looked English. In Antioch it looked Middle Eastern. *Let it now look African, and let the world come and see the glory of God in it.* The goal is not to erase culture, but to submit every culture to Christ.

    The headquarters in Abuja will not “own” the Communion. *Christ owns it.* But the location will be a sign that God is doing a new thing. *Isaiah 43:19*

    *5. ABUJA MUST BE MORE THAN AN OFFICE — IT MUST BE AN ALTAR*

    I agree fully with Venerable Dr Jesulola here. If Abuja is to host the headquarters, it must become:
    1. *A Global Anglican Prayer Centre* - 24/7 worship like David’s tabernacle
    2. *An International Theological Institute* - Raising the next generation of orthodox scholars
    3. *A Missionary Training and Sending Base* - For Europe, Asia, and the Americas
    4. *An Archives and Research Library* - To recover African, Ethiopian, and Global South contributions to Anglican theology

    This will silence critics and prove that this is not about pride, but about *mission*.

    *CONCLUSION: THE HEADQUARTERS MAY BE IN ABUJA, BUT THE VISION IS FOR THE WORLD AND FOR THE END*

    Beloved, we are not in a time for timidity. We are in a time for faith.

    The decision to place the Global Anglican Communion headquarters in Abuja is:
    1. *Historical*: Returning to Africa’s ancient Christian roots in Ethiopia and North Africa
    2. *Missional*: Placing leadership where the growth and sacrifice is greatest
    3. *Eschatological*: A sign that God is shifting the centre of global Christianity for the final harvest

    We must reject both Western paternalism and African triumphalism. Instead we must embrace *divine orchestration*.

    *Canterbury will always be our mother.*
    *Abuja can now be our mission outpost for the nations.*

    As we close August and enter September, let us pray:
    _“Lord, let the Word of Christ dwell richly in Abuja. Let this be the start of the End-Time Revival through the Anglican Communion. Let Nigeria serve with humility, and let the whole world see Jesus.”_

    The headquarters may be in Abuja.
    But the fire will reach the whole earth.

    *Amen. Maranatha. Come Lord Jesus.*

    _“Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else... Saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure.” – Isaiah 46:9-10_

    Shalom!
    *ABUJA AND THE NEW ERA: AN ESCHATOLOGICAL VIEW OF THE GLOBAL ANGLICAN HEADQUARTERS* _By Postulant C. O. Oyadosu_ *INTRODUCTION: NOT JUST GEOGRAPHY, BUT PROPHECY* To the glory of God, the announcement on *29 August 2026 in Recife, Brazil*, that the headquarters of the *Global Anglican Communion* will be established in *Abuja, Nigeria*, is more than an administrative decision. It is a prophetic marker. While some individuals in their opinion rightly calls for wisdom, humility, and global representation, we must also read this moment through the lens of *Scripture, history, and eschatology*. God is not surprised by geography. He ordains seasons. What we are witnessing is not Africa “taking over” Anglicanism. It is the *return of Christianity to its ancient African roots* and the beginning of an *End-Time Revival that will be led from the Global South*. *1. CHRISTIANITY IN AFRICA PREDATES EUROPEAN MISSIONS* The argument that Anglicanism must remain tied to Canterbury because “that is where it began” overlooks a deeper biblical and historical truth: *Africa was Christian before Europe was*. 1. *Ethiopia*: The Ethiopian eunuch in *Acts 8:26-39* took the Gospel to Africa in the 1st century. The Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church traces its roots to the 4th century, with the _Garima Gospels_ and a canon of 81 books preserved for 1600 years. 2. *North Africa*: Alexandria, Carthage, and Hippo produced giants like Athanasius, Origen, Tertullian, and Augustine. The Nicene Creed was hammered out in North Africa. 3. *Christianity is not a Western export*. It is an Eastern and African faith that later flourished in Europe. Therefore, to locate the Global Anglican headquarters in *Abuja* is not innovation. It is *restoration*. It is God bringing the Communion back to a continent where the faith was planted by the Apostles themselves. As *Colossians 3:16* declares for this last Sunday of August: _“Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly.”_ That Word first dwelt richly in African soil. *2. AN ESCHATOLOGICAL READING: THE SHIFT TO THE GLOBAL SOUTH* Jesus said in *Matthew 24:14*: _“And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.”_ Church historians like Philip Jenkins in _The Next Christendom_ have documented what the Spirit is doing: *The numerical and spiritual centre of Christianity has moved to Africa, Asia, and Latin America.* The decision to place the headquarters in *Abuja* fits this eschatological pattern: 1. *Numerical strength*: Over 60% of active Anglicans today are in Africa. Nigeria alone has more Anglicans than all of UK, US, Canada and Australia combined. 2. *Doctrinal clarity*: In a season where Western provinces are revising biblical teaching on marriage, life, and authority of Scripture, God is raising up a bastion of biblical orthodoxy in the South. 3. *Missionary sending*: For 500 years the West sent missionaries to Africa. In this season, Africa is sending missionaries back to Europe, America, and Asia. This is not nationalism. This is *fulfillment*. The last shall be first, and the first last. *Mark 10:31* *3. WHY ABUJA? WHY NOW? PROPHECY AND REVIVAL* Many prophetic voices across Africa for the last 30 years have spoken of an *“End-Time Revival that will start from Nigeria and spread to the nations.”* Nigeria’s Anglican Church has been at the forefront of: - Church planting movements - Prayer and fasting culture - Defense of Scripture under persecution - Youth and evangelistic fervour The *G26 gathering in Abuja, March 2026*, was not accidental. It was a divine alignment. Abuja, the centrally located capital of the most populous black nation, becomes a *new Upper Room* from where the Spirit will be poured out. Just as Jerusalem was the geographic center for the 1st century Church in *Acts 1:8*, *Abuja can be a 21st century center* for a global outpouring — not because Nigeria is superior, but because God chooses weak and unlikely places to shame the wise. *1 Corinthians 1:27* *4. ANSWERING THE CONCERNS: INFRASTRUCTURE, GLOBALITY, AND OWNERSHIP* Some highly respected Anglican Church fathers in God raised legitimate practical concerns. But eschatology teaches us that *God provides infrastructure for what He ordains*. 1. *On Infrastructure*: Joseph was sent to Egypt, Daniel to Babylon, and Paul to Rome. God never waits for perfect roads before He moves. As the headquarters grows, God will raise partners, technology, and diaspora Anglicans to build it. The early Church had no “international banking” either. 2. *On Global Representation*: Yes, leadership must reflect Africa + Asia + Europe + Americas + Pacific. But global representation does not require a Western postcode. With virtual platforms and international flights to Abuja increasing daily, *global access is a matter of will, not geography.* 3. *On “Looking African”*: The Gospel has always looked like the people who carry it. When it was in Rome it looked Roman. In Canterbury it looked English. In Antioch it looked Middle Eastern. *Let it now look African, and let the world come and see the glory of God in it.* The goal is not to erase culture, but to submit every culture to Christ. The headquarters in Abuja will not “own” the Communion. *Christ owns it.* But the location will be a sign that God is doing a new thing. *Isaiah 43:19* *5. ABUJA MUST BE MORE THAN AN OFFICE — IT MUST BE AN ALTAR* I agree fully with Venerable Dr Jesulola here. If Abuja is to host the headquarters, it must become: 1. *A Global Anglican Prayer Centre* - 24/7 worship like David’s tabernacle 2. *An International Theological Institute* - Raising the next generation of orthodox scholars 3. *A Missionary Training and Sending Base* - For Europe, Asia, and the Americas 4. *An Archives and Research Library* - To recover African, Ethiopian, and Global South contributions to Anglican theology This will silence critics and prove that this is not about pride, but about *mission*. *CONCLUSION: THE HEADQUARTERS MAY BE IN ABUJA, BUT THE VISION IS FOR THE WORLD AND FOR THE END* Beloved, we are not in a time for timidity. We are in a time for faith. The decision to place the Global Anglican Communion headquarters in Abuja is: 1. *Historical*: Returning to Africa’s ancient Christian roots in Ethiopia and North Africa 2. *Missional*: Placing leadership where the growth and sacrifice is greatest 3. *Eschatological*: A sign that God is shifting the centre of global Christianity for the final harvest We must reject both Western paternalism and African triumphalism. Instead we must embrace *divine orchestration*. *Canterbury will always be our mother.* *Abuja can now be our mission outpost for the nations.* As we close August and enter September, let us pray: _“Lord, let the Word of Christ dwell richly in Abuja. Let this be the start of the End-Time Revival through the Anglican Communion. Let Nigeria serve with humility, and let the whole world see Jesus.”_ The headquarters may be in Abuja. But the fire will reach the whole earth. *Amen. Maranatha. Come Lord Jesus.* _“Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else... Saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure.” – Isaiah 46:9-10_ Shalom!

  • *TODAY'S PROPHETIC DECLARATION - MONDAY, 31ST AUGUST, 2026.*

    *HOLD FAST TO GOD'S WORD*

    Last Monday & Last Day of August

    Scripture:
    “And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.” — Mark 7:9 (KJV).

    *Reflection – Let God's Word Have the Final Authority*

    In Mark 7, Jesus confronted the religious leaders because they had allowed human traditions to take priority over God's commandments.

    The problem was not simply tradition itself. Traditions can have value, but they become dangerous when human practices replace God's truth.

    As we come to the final day of August, this verse invites us to examine our hearts.

    Are there habits we have become comfortable with that God is asking us to change? Are there opinions, traditions, expectations, or human approval that have become more important to us than obedience to God's Word?

    Christianity is not merely about outward religious activities. God desires a heart that genuinely loves Him and obeys His Word.

    As August closes, let us surrender our ways to God and allow His Word to shape our lives in the new month.

    Don't allow tradition to take the place of transformation.

    *Prophetic Declaration:*
    Today, I declare that God's Word shall have the highest authority in my life. I will not allow human opinions, traditions, pressure, or expectations to take the place of God's truth.

    I declare that my heart is open to correction, instruction, transformation, and the leading of the Holy Spirit.

    Today, I receive grace to examine my habits, attitudes, decisions, and priorities. Wherever my ways have departed from God's will, may the Lord lovingly redirect my steps.

    I declare that I shall not be controlled by the desire to please people at the expense of pleasing God. My loyalty shall be to Christ, and my decisions shall be guided by His Word.

    I proclaim divine wisdom over my family, ministry, work, business, studies, relationships, and destiny. May God's truth guide every important decision I make.

    I declare that every unhealthy habit, ungodly pattern, destructive mindset, and practice that is contrary to God's will shall lose its influence over my life.

    Today, I choose obedience over convenience, truth over popularity, righteousness over compromise, and God's approval over human applause.

    I declare that my faith shall not become merely an outward religious routine. I want my worship to come from a sincere heart, and my obedience to flow from genuine love for Christ.

    As August comes to an end, I declare that every lesson God has taught me shall produce transformation in my life. I shall not merely hear God's Word—I shall live by it.

    I proclaim that September shall be a month of deeper obedience, spiritual maturity, renewed commitment, divine wisdom, and greater intimacy with God.

    I declare that the Lord shall expose anything that has quietly taken His place in my heart. May He remove every idol of human approval, pride, tradition, materialism, fear, or self-will.

    Today, I surrender my plans and expectations to God. His will shall be greater than my preferences, and His purpose shall be greater than my plans.

    I declare that my life shall become a testimony of authentic faith—not merely what I say publicly, but what I practice privately.

    God's Word is my standard.
    Christ is my Lord.
    Obedience is my response.
    Truth is my foundation.
    And God's will is my desire.

    Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen!

    *Action Steps for today:*
    Begin with thanksgiving: Thank God for preserving you throughout the entire month of August.

    Read Mark 7:1–13: Reflect on Jesus' warning about allowing human traditions to replace God's commandments.

    Declare: “God's Word is the final authority in my life. I choose obedience over human approval.”

    Examine your heart: Ask yourself, “Is there any habit, attitude, tradition, or desire that is taking priority over God's will?”

    Make one change: Identify one area where God is calling you to greater obedience and take a practical step today.

    Guard against people-pleasing: Remember that pleasing God is more important than receiving everyone's approval.

    Prepare for September: Write down one spiritual goal for the new month—such as deeper prayer, Bible study, evangelism, forgiveness, or consistent worship.

    Close August with gratitude: Thank God for His mercy, protection, provision, correction, and faithfulness throughout the month.

    *Prayer for the Last Day of August:*
    Heavenly Father,
    I thank You for bringing me safely to the final day of August. Looking back, I can see Your mercy, protection, provision, guidance, and faithfulness.

    Lord, as I close this month, search my heart and reveal anything that is not pleasing to You.

    Forgive me for every time I have allowed human opinion, tradition, convenience, pride, fear, or the desire for approval to become more important than Your Word.

    Help me to love Your truth and obey Your commandments.

    Give me a heart that is willing to receive correction. Where I have gone wrong, redirect me. Where I have become spiritually complacent, awaken me. Where I have become distracted, draw me back to You.

    Lord, let my worship come from a sincere heart. Let my Christianity be more than outward appearance or religious routine. May my private life agree with my public confession of faith.

    I surrender my family, ministry, work, business, studies, relationships, plans, and future to You.

    As I enter September, help me to walk more closely with You. Give me greater hunger for Your Word, deeper commitment to prayer, stronger faith, and greater obedience.

    Let September bring spiritual growth, divine direction, fruitful service, and opportunities to glorify Christ.

    Thank You for every blessing and every lesson of August.

    I close August with gratitude, and I enter September with faith.

    May Your Word guide me, Your Spirit lead me, and Your will be accomplished in my life.

    In Jesus' mighty name. Amen.

    *Blessing for today:*
    May the Lord's Word remain the foundation of your life as August comes to an end.

    May God give you grace to recognize everything that must be surrendered, corrected, changed, or strengthened before entering the new month.

    May you finish August with gratitude instead of regret, faith instead of fear, peace instead of anxiety, and obedience instead of compromise.

    May the Lord bless your family, strengthen your ministry, establish the work of your hands, guide your studies, prosper your honest endeavors, and order your steps according to His purpose.

    As September begins, may you experience fresh grace, renewed strength, greater wisdom, deeper faith, divine favor, and spiritual growth.

    God's Word shall guide you.
    His truth shall transform you.
    His Spirit shall lead you.
    His grace shall sustain you.
    His purpose shall prevail in your life.

    LAST MONDAY & LAST DAY OF AUGUST

    “FULL WELL YE REJECT THE COMMANDMENT OF GOD, THAT YE MAY KEEP YOUR OWN TRADITION.” — MARK 7:9.

    As you close the month of August, may you release every way that is contrary to God's will and enter September with a heart fully surrendered to Christ.

    Goodbye August!
    Thank You, Lord, for Your faithfulness!
    Welcome September!
    I enter the new month with faith, obedience, hope, and expectation!

    Good morning beloved, happy new week and do have a blessed, peaceful, fruitful, and spiritually renewed final day of August!
    Shalom!
