You Can Turn Back the Hands of Time

Are there things you’ve done that make you feel greatly remorseful? Do you loudly wish you could turn the hands of time so you can correct your mistakes?

You are not alone. We in the Ideal Home Church have been in your shoes; and this was what we shared this week.

God brings you to that point where you can go back in time and correct your mistakes. He causes events to replay in your life so you can prove that it was all a mistake. This is one of the ways He restores your lost years.

Anytime you make a mistake despite your devout commitment to please God, waste no time in guilt, for the devil feeds on it. Run back to God – not away from Him. He cannot neglect your contrite and broken heart. Ignore those pictures of guilt the devil replays in your mind. That’s why Christ died for you (1 John 2:1-2; 5:14-15).

Now, quickly restart fellowship with God, but don’t stop there. Determine in your heart to take steps that’ll prove it was all a mistake – that you are better than that!

Essentially, it’s in your resolute effort to make it up to God that turn back the hands of time and correct your past.

Your future is strongly connected to your past. You can change your past. You can prove anybody wrong. He is a God of the second chance.

David, after his sin with Uriah’s wife, cried to God for forgiveness. But he didn’t stop there. He never, ever repeated such an act! And towards the end of his life, he utilized a rare opportunity and proved he was better than that! They brought him a young beautiful girl to keep him warm. But like a wounded lion that had waited for a lifetime to avenge his defeat, King David never slept with that girl (I kings 1:1-4).Thus he corrected his past.

Zacheus, in his remorseful bid to make it all up to God, vowed to repay fourfold to all whom he’d duped. Thus he changed his past.

Brace Yourself!

Smarten Up Your Foresight

We spent a good chunk of our time during this week’s home church forecasting and planning ahead for the forth-coming festival of home churches.

Concerning the festival, we are responsible for all protocol and security tasks. In order to lend speed to our pace, we understudied Joseph. We saw that the principle of foresight was the chief secret of his phenomenal success and dominion in Egypt.

Joseph was the 11th child in a polygamous home filled with strife and envy. Because of his prodigious foresight and lofty dreams as a child, he was sold into slavery by his envious and awe-stricken step brothers into a foreign land where he was later put in prison.

However, in a miraculous turn of events, his foresight translated him from prison to royalty!

By the application of divine wisdom and foresight, Joseph created a food surplus that fed the whole world for seven years. This was in the midst of famine! He bought up the entire human and material resources of a nation. He gained absolute dominion over a nation that was then world power, so to speak.

Joseph entered Egypt as a slave, then landed in prison. However, by the application of divine wisdom that brings foresight, he became the master of an entire empire.

Foresight is the ability to clearly discern trends.

• It is the perception of the significance and nature of events before they occur.
• It is an awareness based on spiritual positioning that enables you know intuitively what’s going to happen.
• It is a preview of future realities that empowers you to take unique steps either to take advantage of coming opportunities, or to avoid  danger.

People who have foresight, who see ahead and plan ahead, will always dominate those who don’t.

The more acquainted you are with the word of God, the more foresight you have, and the more success and dominion you experience.

Can you see far? Do you think ahead? Get properly oriented and deeply positioned in the knowledge of God so you can smarten up your foresight.

5 Powerful Leadership Secrets

I saw myself in Christ’s shoes this week and appreciated where it pinched. “This is more than we can stomach! Are we soldiers that need military training? Why listen to such hard talk?”

These were the loud murmurs of my members during our meeting on Sunday. There were burning issues at hand.

As we deliberated on how to handle them, naturally, most of our members wanted us to take the easy way out. But on the contrary, we had laid down principles – as provided by our code of conduct – on how to handle such situations. I knew that a leader should never sink to the level of his followers, but should stay ahead and lead the way; even if it means standing alone. That’s the loneliness of leadership-the cost of leadership.

As you would guess, I insisted that we abide by the laid down provisions. This raised much dust as my people thought I was being unreasonably rigid. Most, especially the relatively new members, threatened to leave the home church. “We’ll rather go back to our former churches where we’re allowed to grow at our natural pace” they unanimously lamented.

Now, I felt like Christ in John 6:60-67, where most of His disciples left because they perceived His words as hard. I now had to choose between keeping my beloved members and upholding discipline-the foundation of our ministry.

Powered by my principle -based life, I looked them in the face and told them all to leave, for I can’t operate by sentiments. I told them that God would raise me discipline-loving people. “I don’t fear losing anybody; it’s only God that I fear to lose,” I emphasized.

I felt sad that I’d lost my members; for I deeply love them. Honestly, I do.

However, an eye- opening event happened this Wednesday as it was time for home church meeting. I expected none of them to come back. But, alas, everybody came.

When asked why they came back, Chioma said “I saw that I couldn’t leave. At home, it dawned on me the huge difference this home church has made in my life in so short a time, and I figured it would benefit me most, if I submit to the principle-based leadership of this ministry.”  To show her commitment, she brought a large sum of money for the support of our projects. She also came with her friend who was full of admiration of how our home church is run.

Every other member made similar thought-provoking statements. This incidenT opened my eyes to these leadership principles:

1. People, in their naturally weak state, are looking for whom to follow; and they follow the strong.
2. As a leader, do not need people to like you; rather, go for their respect. You’ll benefit them most if they respect you.
3. A thing is truly never yours until you’re ready to lose it.
4. Principle-based leaderships create strong systems; sentiment-driven leaderships breed weak systems.
5. Whatever is given to you by God will always remain with you, as the apostles did with Christ (John 60:66-71).

Leverage Your Disadvantages

Like the scorching heat of the sun
that brings to the fore,
and lends publicity to the soothing effect
of the ice-cold water, that trickles down your throat
on a tropical hot sunny day;
like the stern, palpably thick darkness,
at night, in a humble Soweto village,
that creates a delicious chance for each
ray of light
from an old woman’s weak wick lamp,
to shine and showcase its sovereign smartness
and splendor over darkness;
so your disadvantages are a meet platform,
that brings to the limelight,
the forever-selling genius within you.

The foregoing is a description of our discussion in this week’s meeting.

We studied Joel 2:25.

God restores your lost years, but He doesn’t do it arbitrarily; the process is activated by you.

God has programmed His restorative ability to respond to those who get inspired by their disadvantages – who set out to turn their obstacles into stepping stones.

Every challenge should motivate you to go for greater heights. Disadvantages give you an opportunity to shine, just as darkness gives light the opportunity to display.

Experiences are meant to give us mastery over life’s circumstances.You must have the instinctive ability to pursue, overtake, and recover all wherever you are disadvantaged or have failed.

People with a seed of greatness, when disadvantaged, vigorously seek out ways to attain greatness-creatively utilizing their “disadvantages”. They know they have a date with destiny and cannot afford any excuses.

It is in your strong-willed, retaliative efforts to release your virtues, despite your circumstances, that you leverage your disadvantages to the point people begin to associate such “disadvantages” with greatness; like an offended, wounded lion, you fiercely come back at the offence and take your pound of flesh.”

We understudied people who exemplify this concept:

• Zaccheus (Luke 19:1-10): His short stature inspired him to think ahead of the crowd and position himself strategically for true greatness.
• David (I Samuel 30:1-25): He responded to the instincts of greatness in him by pursuing and overpowering the Amalekites.
• Nick: born without limbs, but today has become a globally acclaimed motivational speaker.

There’s more to you than meets the eye

Like a heaving sea ruffled by the heavy wind, most people tend to     live in doubt of their self-worth. Like a timid lad with an abused childhood, many naturally nurture a fractured self-image. In the guise of humility, they manifest a personality that reveals an inability to keep a steady course on the path of affirmative boldness.

The above sayings paint the picture of our discussion in this week’s meeting. We x-rayed the fact that the average Christian tends to derive his self-worth from his prevailing circumstances.

We studied Judges 6:11-16,and saw how Gideon cringed at God’s mighty description of him. His self-image had been disfigured by Midian’s continued humiliation of Israel. His present status was that of a depressed, downtrodden, doubtful, cowardly, and fearful young man with his self-image the height of my slippers.

We observed one striking phenomenon: while Gideon extracted his self-worth from his circumstances, God evaluated and addressed him based on the awesome, yet latent abilities He’d stashed away in him. We observed similar trends in the cases of Moses, , and others.

Then I came up with this: “Your self-image, who you are, is not to be determined by your circumstances or by people’s opinion of you, but by what God says of you; for what is written is superior to whatever is happening!

The tasks God gives you indicate who He’s already made you. He addresses you based on what He’s made your future.

You’re more than your present status.

There’s more to you than meets the eye.

The bible says that as Christ is, so are we. God sees you exactly as He sees Jesus Christ. No mind has ever conceived what God’s planned to make of you.  Not even your sins should be allowed to depreciate your self-image; for right inside you is the DOMINION over sin (Rom6:14).

Now Amaka asked: “how do we discover who God’s made us?”
Here are the answers:

• By meditating on God’s WORD
• By dwelling on the Spirit-inspired prophecies upon you
• By nursing those persistent dreams that God’s embedded in your heart.

We concluded by studying Romans 12:2, Renew your mind!

He Craves Your Company

God’s loneliness

We meditated on the subject of ‘God’s loneliness’ in our Home Church meeting this week. We saw that the primary purpose of our salvation is to have constant, deep, solid, and intimate communion with God.

Angels cannot satisfy God’s need for our company: they’re only created for service (Hebrews 1:13-14).

Our primary calling, as sons of God, is to commune with God in fellowship. Each moment, in the midst of myriads of angels bowing before Him, God still longs for your company. He sits on His majestic throne, longingly waiting for you to come and commune with Him.

God longs for you to share His plans and His pains; He longs for you to ask Him “Father, how are you doing?”

I pray the Holy Spirit opens your eyes to this spiritual truth.

First Things First

I chose this topic now that we are in the excitement of preparing for the Festival of Home Churches 2010 because I want to raise a crop of Christians who put first things first – who don’t allow their service for God distract them from their fellowship with Him.

From Luke 10: 38-42, we realize that Christians, who should have been with God in loving fellowship, mostly keep running around in mindless service, thereby forfeiting the true blessings of sonship.

This is not to say that our services to God are not important to Him. I simply want emphasize that to God, our fellowship with Him is superior to our services for Him. I could sense God complain “You run about working for Me. But why don’t you sit with Me and learn of Me?”

Is it not tragic that we do more and more for a Lord whom we know less and less?  That, in spite of all our services for Him, few Christians really know Him?

What Do We Do?

In the end, I recommended that each of us in our home church should, everyday, spend at least 30 minutes alone with God. Also, each month, each of us ought to separate one day (6am – 6pm) that we’ll be with God in solitude.

Remember this, your fellowship with God is more preferable to God, than your services for Him.

Ignite Your Passion for God

This is it!

This home church report is actually my response to some intense, deep-seated hunger and passionate pull toward intimacy with God that’s been on a steady increase within me.

Most days, I feel this urge and near-irresistible need to be alone with God – just as you feel when your urinary bladder is full to the brim. When such mind-electrifying feelings come, everything else, however important, lose their significance and flavor; that is until you respond to this emergency in your spirit, and like a loving and understanding spouse, repose to a lonely, or at least quiet place, and pour out your heart to the Holy Spirit – telling Him how much you love Him, and how desperately you need more of Him.

The above have been my on–and–off experiences since I came in contact with Pastor WD Favour. When I newly joined his ministry, the primary thing that got me stuck was his strange and almost weird passion and hunger for God – which was innocently obvious and evident in everything he said from the pulpit. He made me see Christianity as a marital love affair and intimacy with the Holy Spirit. And then, I sensed my spirit exclaim with a sigh of relief, “This is it!”

He insidiously but firmly induced in us an unyielding desire for intimate sessions of prayer, as he taught us that genuine passion for God comes from desiring it and expressing that desire in prayers.

‘Time out with God’

I could remember those days in 2006 that I would, after his sermons, go and ask the catechist of a chapel in my school to allow me spend the night in the church hall. I did spend some nights alone in that chapel asking God to give me the passion for Him and to reveal Himself to me.

Inspired by Pastor WD Favour’s example, each of us set apart a date per month, which we called ‘Time out with God.’ On such days, you would switch off your phone, shut yourself up in a room or go to a chapel, and spend the whole day without food, but voraciously eating the bible, asking God to deposit in your heart this strange passionate intimacy that WD Favour shares with Him.

This remains, till date, one of our most vital monthly activities.

The greatest of all pursuits

I decided to share this in our home church this week because, lately, I’ve been experiencing a subtle ripple–like increase in my passion and hunger for intimacy with God. My goal is to reproduce this life–transforming passion for God in all the Ideal Home Church members, because it is the bedrock of a resounding walk with God.

We started the interactive bible study by meditating on Psalm 42:1–2:

“As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, O God. 
My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When can I go and meet with God?”

We also meditated on Psalm 63:1–8, where we saw the heart–cry of a man who has become consumed with an intense, irresistible passion for God.

At this point, one of us said that, “The pursuit of God is the greatest of all pursuits; yet even a hot pursuit of God without passion for Him is a mere religious activity that will definitely end in frustration.”

Using the above saying as a foundation, I stressed that since passion for God is the only element that makes for a genuine walk with Him, we should exert ourselves in prayer, asking God to inspire in us a genuine desire for Him.

At this point, I recommended Pastor WD Favour’s book “Can God be lonely?” to each of our Home Church members.

I urge you too, dear friend, to download the free e-book. It will surely ignite in you an unquenchable passion for God.

God will respond to you as you passionately seek Him.

Focusing More Energy on What is Working

Fine-tuning what’s already working…

Home church this week was a beehive of mental activities. We continued with optimizing and fine-tuning the structure of our home church – the Ideal Home Church.

As pointed out last week, each of us voiced their opinions concerning our results so far, and made recommendations as to the direction and objects of our optimization.

Areas mapped out for optimization include:

• The interactive session.
• Our presentations in church
• Enlargement of our leadership base

First, our interactive study sessions…

Most of us made it clear that this has been their most relevant and imparting aspect of our meetings. A member said “The bible studies and interactive sessions always open my eyes to the depths of things I normally regarded as being insignificant. The session enlivens my awareness to profound spiritual and universal truths.”

Worthy of note, though, was that a lot us believed the time allocated to this session needed to be reduced so the other activities would enjoy ample attention.

Consequently, we decided to focus more energy on selecting the most relevant topics for the bible study session – since it is already yielding the most palpable result in our respective personal development and in our individual walk with God. After all, this is the hallmark of optimization – focusing more energy on what is working.

Nevertheless, as had been recommended, we effected a reduction in the duration of this session.

Secondly, our Sunday presentations…

I and many others were of the opinion that our weekly presentations in church have consistently been characterized by in-depth, insightful, meaningful and relevant spiritual, and contemporary messages which quite evidently never fail to bless the church. However, I disclosed my dissatisfaction concerning the fact that most of our presentations lacked some sort of abstract but uniquely soul-tantalizing flair that has constantly been the hallmark of the Infinity Home Church’s presentations.

To this effect, one of us – Chioma – who naturally oozes flair and flamboyant creativity was put in charge of presentations. Amaka, who reasonably shares the above instincts was appointed her assistant. They’ve already commenced work with this week’s presentation – a pantomimic display of rugged tenacity in following Jesus Christ despite the Devil’s attractive distractions. It’s better seen than described!

Thirdly, enlarging our leadership base…

Here, we, largely reshuffled and restructured the various offices and put capable members in charge of the offices where they naturally have strength and flair.

Last came the introduction of our new stringent code of conduct. Our home church, now, reminds one of a military training institute. This is to bring out the best in each of us, since an unyielding personal and corporate discipline is most essential to spiritual and intellectual growth.

This, however, stirred a loudly silent aura of rather disturbing sobriety in the meeting; but this was dispelled by an encouragement from one of us “let us not cringe at discipline, but let’s willingly embrace it – shunning all seemingly cogent excuses; for in sooner than no time, we, like gold that’s been through the fiery furnace, will emerge highly efficient individuals and IDEAL Christians.”

I then closed the meeting after prayerfully commissioning the officials into their various offices. On Saturday, we all would observe an all-day fast, asking God to give us an irresistible passion for Him.

Why not join us?

God-Centered Sacrifices

This week, in our home church, Pastor WD Favour’s teaching on ASTUTE LEADERSHIP steered the string of events.

We started, as always, by getting our souls drenched in serene worship. Still in the air of solemnity, I stimulated our spirits with a brief teaching. It was about making sure God becomes the primary reason for our sacrifices and self-denials. I said “Whatever you GIVE UP FOR GOD comes back to you multiplied. But you’re really got to be sure God is the reason you gave it all up.” “Never seek glory by self-sacrifice.” (I corinthians13:1-3).

I said this because most times, you see Christians giving up things and making painful sacrifices  with selfish instead of godly motives . “You engage in idolatory each time you give up things purportedly  God, but with some other selfish agenda as your primary motive.” God rewards you only when He, on probing your heart, finds you gave it all up for Him.

Almost paradoxically, I stressed that it’s also idolatory setting your heart on the rewards that your sacrifices for God bring. God wants you to set your heart on Him, and not on anything else – not even on His blessings. This teaching stemmed from Pastor WD Favour’s saying last week during the Leadership Forum that, “there is a world of differences between giving things to God and giving things up for God.”

Subsequently, we commenced talks on how to optimize our home church and improve our results. Questions were dished out, and each of us barred their minds on what they considered our strengths, weak points; what has been working, what is not working, how to amplify and upgrade our pluses and get more leadership-oriented people involved. We made a list of all our opinions, dwelt on a few, and kept the rest for next week.

Next, we gave our offerings, brainstormed for our presentation in church on Sunday, and closed amid exclamations of joy as one of us – a virtuous lady – who had traveled, came walking in.

Praise the Lord!

Be Your Own Prophet!

Why else would we, as busy as we are, gather here every Wednesday and spend a couple of hours?

This was the question I put forth in this week’s home church meeting; and the basic answers were “It’s because the meetings have become our individual hide-out with the Holy Spirit and with the life-changing word of God. It’s a place we, like iron, sharpen one another”.

I asked this question to make sure we don’t just see the home church meetings as a mere weekly religious obligation. I tickled our minds and stirred our spirits with a teaching that’ll turn you on: The Creative Power of Your Words.

Your nature, your most fundamental attribute, is that of a creator – since you’re born of God.

I pointed out that since God has given us a blank cheque (Deut 30:19), we ought to meticulously choose to create and bless our future.

Train your subconscious mind to be conscious of what you do and don’t do per day, especially what you say about your future.

God told us in Numbers 14: 28 that He’ll do what He hears us say. If you want to know what you’ll be like in the next five years, listen to what you are saying about yourself today.

You are not called to describe your situation. You’re called to change it by speaking to it. You’re a prophet!

Your ability to speak is not primarily for communication, but for creation –to call things into being. We are gods, and the language of gods is to call things which are not as though they were.

Speak to your mountains. It’s through speaking that you activate your faith!

The more you talk about something, the bigger it gets in your mind. Whatever dominates your mind dominates your life.

Your life moves in the direction of your words and of your focus.

You are a life-giving spirit. You are a creator.

Don’t evaluate yourself with your present negative circumstances. Don’t give in to people’s negative conclusions about you. Be God’s co-worker in your destiny by speaking into your life according to His word. Don’t bend your words to match and accommodate your situation.

We’ll stop here, to continue next week.

Freedom From Public Opinion II

The atmosphere in home church this week was that of ideal, child-like brotherly love. Each of us shared the impact of last week’s discussion and acknowledged that it takes God’s help to abide by the precepts therein. We then went deeper in assaying the concept at hand. 

When you free yourself from public opinion – pleasing God at the expense of popularity – you send intense signals to God and the forces of nature. Actually, people’s opinions matter, but only give it its right place; don’t make it your driving force.

As a matter of fact, the opinions of your mentors, leaders, etc, matter a lot, but don’t let it matter more than it should.

If you’re quite close to yourself, and to God, then it’s God and you that know you best!

Christ asked His apostles who people said He was. This was neither to determine His worth nor to pay homage to the public opinion of Him, but only to ascertain whether or not His disciples had the correct perspective of His identity.

To further buttress this, even Bob Marley said, “Emancipate yourself from mental slavery…” This includes the slavery of the undue addiction to impress people with your performance, instead of focusing on inner personal excellence. Until you’re able to genuinely pray for others (your colleagues, etc.) to be their best, even if it means their outshining you, before God, you’ll keep oozing the odour of selfishness.

Of course, there’s nothing wrong with desiring to be the best and to stay ahead. After all, God promises that you’ll be the head and not the tail. Actually, being the tail and mediocre does not glorify God. But, getting obsessed with being the head is wrong, for this exposes you to manipulations. Christ was so secure He didn’t assume any physical, undue superiority over His apostles that it took a kiss to identify Him!

Insecure hearts get addicted to praise and positions. That’s why they breathlessly crave reassurance that they’re the best.

Develop and renew your mind not to become resentful when your non-superiors are placed above you. Do your best no matter who gets the credit. This attracts God to you. Public credit should never become your driving force.

God bless you.

Freedom from Public Opinion

Everyone came alive with glowing interest in this week’s home church meeting as we discussed the above relevant, contemporary issue. This topic was borne out of the burning desire to inculcate in us hearts free from the present-day undue attachment to public opinion; for real power is in freedom. We were able to link the concept of insecurity with intense hunger to secure the praise and approval of people.

Excessive attachment to being the best of all-to the point you get unduly sad when others outdo you-is a mark of deep-seated insecurity. Do not get addicted to being the overall best rather, get addicted to being the best of you. This way, you won’t feel bad when the spotlight is on others. You even genuinely celebrate others when they outshine you.

If you outshine me despite my being the best of me then you deserve my respect and admiration, not my resentment. God wants to bring the spotlight on you but He doesn’t want you to get obsessed with the spotlight. Saul got so addicted to the spotlight that David became his cardinal enemy once the spotlight shifted to him after slaying Goliath. Little wonder God dumped him!

God can never establish a dynasty with an insecure man (1Samuel 18:6-12).

God rejected Saul because having the people on his side mattered more to him than obeying God. (1 Samuel 13:6-14). Do not get dependent on people’s acknowledgement; if you do, God won’t take you far. Let people’s accolade and their disapproval weigh the same to you. Instead of publicly falling at Samuel’s feet to ask for mercy – as David would readily do – Saul was only concerned about Samuel’s going to worship with him so the people will think God was still pleased with him. What a weak mind!(1Samuel 15:24-28).

Being enslaved to public opinion limits you – just as a rope that holds your ankle against a pillar. Leaders who play to the gallery ultimately have their footprints washed away from the sands of time.”

We’ll continue next week. Bye

Utilize the Arsenal of Faith

The sayings of Christ took the lid off our minds and triggered off a new wave of awareness in our hearts during home church this week. It was a rude awakening to realize how much we’ve been deprived, by sheer ignorance, of all that God has made available for us.

The above was the palpable state of mind of each individual that participated in our interactive bible study in this week’s home church. In the meeting, one particular thing was obvious: everyone had, registered on their face, an unmistakable expression of hope, excitement, and blissful serenity which I attribute to the preparations for our Pastors’ appreciation day coming up in church on Sunday.

We prayed, commenced the meeting, then went into the interactive bible study session. Utilize the Arsenal of Faith was our topic. This was inspired by Pastor WD Favour’s sermon in church last Sunday. We read Mark 11: 20 – 24, and were startled to discover that God has made faith available to all – Christian or not. We saw that anyone, even the greatest sinners can achieve feats using faith. Christ says: “If ANYONE …” that means faith is a universal force put in place by the Almighty, that responds to anyone who applies it. Today, it appears non-Christians utilize faith much more than Christians do!

Now, think of this: if faith could work tremendously for the non-Christian and the sinner, how much more will it work for Christians who pattern their lives according to the dictates and precepts of the Holy Spirits? This is why Christ pointed out that some people, despite having worked wonders by faith in His name, will still end up in hell.

Christ also warned against inward doubt (verse 23). God cannot but respond to faith, but doubt is anti-faith (Matthew 14:25-31). We concluded by pointing out that according to II Corinthians 3:18, our faith grows to fullness as we meditate and act upon the word of God.

God bless you.

Accessing the Vastness of God

It was elating to see old members who’ve been away, and new ones, in home church this week. We had a swell time worshipping.
Then we concluded our series on the concept of SELFLESSNESS. We dwelt on how God responds to selflessness. Just as the butterfly gets attracted to a colourful flower and its nectar, and in the process, pollinates the flower, so God gets attracted to selflessness thereby ”pollinating” and impregnating the individual.
There arose contributions that selfishness weakens, while selflessness strengthens spiritually. Hence selflessness empowers us to access God’s vastness – as the bible says ”the kingdom of God is for the strong.”

The book of Ruth served as our road map.
There, we saw that in the race of life, only self and sin are your opponents. Once you conquer these, you automatically win a place among Kingdom Giants.
Finally, one of us said it all: ”selfishness has to die in our hearts for us to carry out God’s purpose for our lives.
Here, almost amidst tears, we all asked God to create in us selfless hearts – so that OUT OF OUR BELLIES SHALL FLOW RIVERS OF LIVING WATERS.

See you next week.
Bye!
