The prosperity (complacency) of fools will destroy them – Proverbs 1:32 Using the words of prophet Jeremiah, we, who survived the sword of 2017 – the Suffering, the Worries and anxieties, the Oppression, the Ridicule and Destruction have found grace before God for 2018 (Jer 31). Just as Israel experienced deliverance at the Red Sea, the Lord parted the sea of 2017 to allow you and l to escape into 2018. Glory to God.

THEME: STRIVE FOR PEACE AND HOLINESS – Heb 12:14 The 84 days 2018 Renewal Prayer Chain and Fasting that connect us to this year’s Lenten season is beyond the familiar ceremonial cleansing ritual that prepare religious people for worship.

JESUS CHRIST: The Reason for the Season

“Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish, but to fulfil” – Matt 5:17 The church is in deep sleep. We are doing what we wouldn’t do if we are awake. There is silence divorce between the Advent season and the reason behind it and rather than reminding the world the reason for the season, the season is dictating the reason hence, we loose the impact. Advent calls for the restoration of the purpose of Jesus’ birth. In a culture that is pleasure-ridden, the commercialisation and hype around Christmas...
