John 14:6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me" The Scriptures are quite clear. Jesus is the way, the truth and the life. I have seen so many people who do not have peace in life. I have seen people who are very confused. I have seen people chasing worldly success. I have seen people doing and saying terrible things in order to have worldly success. The people in this world are full of vanity" I am glad the solution found me. I am glad Jesus found me, because without Him all is vain, without Him in our lives there is no peace no matter what you say or believe. Jesus is the only answer, Jesus is the only way, truth and life. Unfortunately some people have been hurt by false Christians and they want nothing to do with Christianity. Unfortunately some people have God a wrong perception of God, But I tell you this, show me a true Christian and I will show you a person filled with peace and stability. Jesus ...

In life we are continually faced with different battles and conflicts. If you are someone without a vision you will find that you fight each battle even if it’s not worth it. There are some battles that are worth fighting and some battles are just not worth it. It is so painful to see people wasting time fighting unnecessary battles. This week I encourage you to pick your battles carefully. When you fight a battle look at the long term. Look also at the Word of God. If you fight battles that are not in line with the Word of God, it’s definitely not worth it. What will this battle benefit me in the future? 1 Corinthians 9:26-27 Therefore I do not run like someone running aimlessly; I do not fight like a boxer beating the air. No, I strike a blow to my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize.

Sometimes there seems to be a wall between me and my destiny. It looks like it is impossible to break. My thoughts cannot even go beyond the wall. I always wonder, where does this wall come from; did I create it by my own perceptions?, did somebody put it there? Does my culture have anything to do with this wall? It is very painful not to be able to function at my very best just because of this wall. I have tried everything to get rid of it but all my efforts seem to be in vain. Its like going around the same circle time and again. I need help to breakthrough this wall and my only hope is in the Lord. I will never give up until the Lord gives me victory over this wall for we serve a God of breakthroughs. We serve a God who makes the impossible possible. God please give me strength. This week I encourage you to keep on surrendering until you get your breakthrough. Join me in this battle.

We all have projects in mind or things we would like to accomplish. The day and time we decide to start those projects is very crucial. If we undertake a project at the wrong time, it will start looking like a curse instead of a blessing. If we start something at the wrong time it will be very difficult and taxing to complete. Many time I see a lot of Christians with great ideas but because we don't wait for the right timing the ideas become disasters. This in turn creates a bad name for the Christian community. This week I want to encourage patience to wait for the right time. Be in direct communication with God all the time to know which time would be the right time. Lets not rush into things. This is a lesson we all need. Understanding the times is very crucial to success.

Change is all around us. The way the world is now, is totally different from the way it was 100-200 years ago. This is just one example of change. Things change and I believe God is teaching us something about change. God is teaching us that as human beings we have the ability to change. We can change from good to bad or from bad to good. I believe in life we have seen people who have changed from Good to bad and those who have changed from bad to good. It takes a brave and strong person to change from bad to good but changing from from good to bad requires no effort at all. Paul is an example of someone who changed from negative to positive. Paul used to kill and persecute people but he changed and became a very good apostle. Today I want to encourage people to change. Be a person who is always changing from negative to positive. Be brave and never allow fear to hinder you from positive change. A key element in positive change is Jesus Christ. With our own effort it will be har...

1 Timothy 6:6 "But godliness with contentment is great gain" If you are not content with what you have it is time to ask God to give you contentment. Without contentment it will be next to impossible to live happily and to have peace. Lack of contentment can be linked to stress and a lot of other unhealthy behaviours. Sometimes married men and women sleep around because of lack of contentment. People steal because of lack of contentment. People become jealous due to lack of contentment. People lie and deceive other due to lack of contentment, the list goes on and on I have realised that contentment is very important in the life of a Christian. Let us learn to enjoy what we have and not worry about what we don't have. Sometimes even some pastors will take advantage of your lack of contentment. This week I encourage you ask God to give you contentment.

I always hear people talking about surrendering to the will of God as if its something easy. I have realized that it is not easy at all. We human being like to be in control and it is generally not easy to surrender our will to the control of something else. A lot of times it may appear that we have surrendered but in actuality we know that we have not. Surrendering requires a lot of death to self. Every aspect of our life needs to be surrendered to the leadership of the Lord. When we surrender to the Lord things actually become easier because His York is easy. The problem we have is believing if really God is worth surrendering our lives to. Is He worth giving up the control of my life? My personal answer to this question is YES. It is really worth it.
