EVANGELISE: PREACH AS YOU GO!

There is nothing super urgent in all this world than to tell people about Jesus Christ. Evangelise, Preach as You Go is a response to the urgency of evangelism. At a time when man is the centre of all things and politicians are increasingly becoming theologians, Evangelise, Preach as You Go is about God being the centre of all things again. It is a call to church and leadership renewal at a time when the Gospel sounds more and more like foolishness in the ears of the unregenerate. “For the preaching of the cross is foolishness to those who...

LESSONS FROM February 9, 1709: THE JOHN WESLEY MISSION AND LEADERSHIP BRANDING MODULE!

A BRAND PLUCKED OUT OF THE BURNING: … NOT LEAVING, AFTER HIS DEBTS ARE PAID, TEN POUNDS BEHIND HIM: PRAYING, GOD BE MERCIFUL TO ME, AN UNPROFITABLE SERVANT![1] – John Wesley. What brand are you made of? Spiritually speaking, we are all wearing a brand just as a brand on a sheep denotes who owns it. John Wesley’s epitaph awakes the church and the leadership to an examination to know who we are, what brand we are wearing, and how we fit into the bigger picture as Jesus’ brand. Our mission and spiritual brands denote our owner and who...

The Renewal of Covenant, Healing for a backsliding Church: Jonah’s example.

We had a larger congregation at the renewal of the Covenant than we have had for many years: and I do not know that ever we had a greater blessing. Afterwards many desired to return thanks, either for a sense of pardon, for full salvation, or for a fresh manifestation of his grace, healing all their backslidings.” From his statement above, Wesley brings to our attention the missional essence of Covenant prayer, namely: the desire to return thanks to God; For a sense of pardon; For full salvation or for a manifestation of his grace and healing all backslidings...

ENTHRONING JESUS 2025: A RENEWING WAY OF LIFE!

We are closer to the end than before. Indeed, the church is in the payday for dethroning Jesus Christ. Many of God’s wonderful promises no longer apply to the church today because we have dethroned the Lord through unbelief, sin, and pride, hence the present confusion, divisions, and lack of direction. Pride takes the throne when we dethrone the Lord (Hos 11:5). If you are in Christ, let nothing weaken your faith. God is Holy; without holiness, no one can see the Lord. He is coming again. In anticipation of Jesus’ Second Coming, no neutrality and no more time...
