Influencing Society Positively |

Matthew 5:16:
Let your light so shine before men, that THEY MAY SEE YOUR GOOD WORKS, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

One of the greatest assets to impact your cycle and sphere is the spirit of influencing others positively.

To achieve this, we must intentionally influence all spheres of our lives:

- Up liners (leaders and authorities): Joseph's influence on Pharaoh (Genesis 41:39-43)

- Onliners (peers and community): Esther's influence on the Jewish people (Esther 4:13-16)

- Down liners (those we lead or mentor): Nehemiah's influence on the Israelites (Nehemiah 4:10-23)

- Societal influencers: Daniel's influence on King Nebuchadnezzar (Daniel 2:14-23)

- Unseen influencers: Joseph of Arimathea's quiet influence in burying Jesus' body. (Matthew 27:57-60)

By positively impacting these spheres, we can create a ripple effect of transformation in our societies, communities, and beyond.

May we be inspired by these biblical examples to influence our world for good in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

All things are working |

Romans 8:28:
And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.

Every moment, hour, day, or season is a chance for God to demonstrate His faithfulness in your life.

No two days are identical, and each day holds unique allocations waiting to be claimed - but some remain unclaimed because we fail to seize them out of ignorance.

I sense in my spirit that your week is destined for a great shift.

Every scheme of the enemy will be thwarted and turned around.

The Lord shall supply your needs daily, and His faithfulness will pour down on you like showers of rain.

All things will work together for your good in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

INTEGRITY SUMMIT DAY 4:

We cannot ignore the pervasive decadence that affects every level of society. God calls us to take action and develop effective strategies to restore and rebuild the broken structures of our communities.

This is a critical task, as each sphere of society - including family, entertainment, media, and sports - presents unique challenges that require tailored approaches. We cannot apply a one-size-fits-all solution to these diverse areas.

Today, we are privileged to have Ambassador Joy Obayemi share her expertise and experience in addressing the specific challenges within the media and sports spheres. She will offer practical solutions and insights, making this a valuable and engaging session.

Don't miss this opportunity to learn and be equipped to make a positive impact in your sphere of influence.

Thank you!!

INTEGRITY SUMMIT BEGINS TODAY!!

I'm still reeling from the devastating news that I was told today of a pastor's teenage daughter who took her own life just last week. This heart-wrenching tragedy exposes the alarming gaps in our families and society. We can't help but ask:

- What led to this?
- Was she struggling with depression or neglect?
- Were her parents too busy to notice?

The harsh reality is that our fast-paced lives have eroded meaningful connections. Parents are often too caught up to engage with their children, leaving a void that can have disastrous consequences. If we fail to bridge these gaps and repair the broken walls, our families and society will crumble, and we will face the devastating fallout.

This is the reason why we have convened this summit at this critical juncture.

Join us today and contribute your expertise to rebuilding the broken walls in: Family, Education, Religion, Media, Business, Government, Arts, Sports, and Entertainment

We are pleased to introduce our exceptional lineup of resource persons, each expertly equipped to delve into the complexities of our topic. Over the next five days, they will leave no stone unturned, providing invaluable insights and perspectives.

Break Away from the Old, Embrace the New |

Mark 2:22:
And no man putteth new wine into old bottles: else the new wine doth burst the bottles, and the wine is spilled, and the bottles will be marred: BUT NEW WINE MUST BE PUT INTO NEW BOTTLES.

Today's text is a metaphor for embracing change and new ideas.

The old wineskin represents traditional thinking, outdated methods, and rigid structures, while the new wine represents fresh perspectives, innovative ideas, and adaptability.

The Lord wants us to break away from the old and embrace the new, to be open to change and growth, and to be willing to adapt and evolve.

Just as new wine requires fresh wineskins to contain it, new ideas and perspectives require a willingness to let go of the old and embrace the new.

In essence, the passage is saying that YOU CAN'T POUR NEW IDEAS INTO OLD MINDSETS OR STRUCTURES AND EXPECT THEM TO WORK.

You need to be willing to change and adapt to accommodate the new, just like new wine needs fresh wineskins to flourish.

It's time for a mind-shift experience, stop living in the old, it's time to switch to the new; it's time to take off your old shoes just as Moses did on Mount Moriah as led by the Lord

Your NEW IS HERE, it's time to switch to it, in the name of Jesus Christ Amen

Building Capacity |

Proverbs 24:10:
If thou faint in the day of adversity, THY STRENGTH IS SMALL.

As you journey through life, you will encounter various adversities, including known and unknown challenges, organized and unorganized obstacles, and physical, spiritual, emotional, marital, and financial issues.

If you are not prepared, these challenges can catch you off guard, leading to a downfall.

I heard of a story of a man who discovered two of his three grown children weren't his after a DNA test; he developed high blood pressure and passed away within a week.

However, if you are prepared, you can turn whatever challenge into opportunities for growth and make them work for your good (Romans 8:28).

Capacity building occurs before challenges arise, not during.

Do all you can to live a virtuous life - pray, fast, work hard, have faith, etc. - but when adversity strikes, tap into your stored strength to turn it around.

DON'T WAIT UNTIL YOU ARE CONFRONTED; BUILD SPIRITUAL, FINANCIAL, and MARITAL CAPACITY NOW.

May your strength not fail in times of adversity, in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Happy Sunday!!
