In Luke chapter five, our Lord Jesus Christ performed a miracle that proved to the world that he was not just an ordinary son of a carpenter but also a professional fisherman. After his resurrection, he revealed himself to his disciples as a professional fisherman. In the gospel of John 21:1-14 Jesus appeared to his disciples on the beach; He said to them, “Children, have you any fish?” They answered him, “No.” He said to them, “Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some.” So they cast it, and now they were not able to haul it in, for the quantity of fish. That disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It is the Lord!” They did not find it difficult to recognize him as the Risen Lord because that was exactly the same miracle he performed in the gospel of Luke chapter five. Child of God, through signs and wonders the Lord will soon prove to you that He is the Risen Lord. That your business that is stagnate will soon flourish. You that have been recording failure will start recording success. It shall be well with you in Jesus name – Amen!
Inspirational Message: The disciples were able to recognize Jesus as a professional fisherman because He did what He knew how to do best. If you want people to recognize you must be consistent in doing good and you must always do your best.
Prayer for Fishermen: Lord Jesus Christ, through the miracle of the great catch you have proved the world that you are not just an ordinary carpenter, but also a professional fisherman. Lord, we have so many fishermen in our world today, people who labour like elephant and eat like ant. Lord, bless our fishermen with financial breakthrough and may they be among those who will be catching people into your kingdom. Grant this through Christ our Lord – Amen!
Prophetic Message: You must be Saved!
After the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ, Peter preached to his fellow Jews, saying, ““Rulers of the people and elders, if we are being examined today concerning a good deed done to a cripple, by what means this man has been healed, be it known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, by him this man is standing before you well. This is the stone which was rejected by you builders, but which has become the cornerstone. And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” Child of God, as long as our Lord Jesus Christ is concerned, your liberation and Salvation is Guaranteed! You must be saved! And it shall be well with you in Jesus name – Amen!

Christology: Jesus, the Woman Liberator

Our Lord Jesus Christ is a woman Liberator and Destiny changer. He did not allow human tradition to influence his action. Before he came into this world women were not recognized. They do not have access to important information in the society. They can only receive few information through their husband, especially when they are still alive. You can now imagine what widow were passing through then. In the gospel of Mark 16:9-15 When He rose early on the first day of the week,
he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, from whom he had cast out seven demons. She went and told those who had been with him, as they mourned and wept. But when they heard that he was alive and had been seen by her, they would not believe it. One of the reasons why the disciples doubted the resurrection of Christ is because it was the story of a woman. They started believing when Jesus appeared to their few men. Whether they believed or not Jesus has already communicated his message. By appearing to a woman first after his resurrection He has proved to the world that there is no distinction between men and women. All are equal in the sight of God. That was the origin of women liberation! To him be glory and praise both now and forevermore – Amen!
Inspirational Message: By appearing to a woman first after his resurrection Jesus has proved to the world that there is nothing like gender inequality. All are one before God.
Prayer for Women Liberation: Lord Jesus Christ, your death and resurrection brought liberation to the world, especially women. Today women are gradually been recognized in the society as equal and as important as their men counterparts. Lord, in the traditional societies we still have some women who are not recognised due to cultural and religious beliefs. Lord, liberate these women as you liberated other women like Mary Magdalene. Grant this through Christ our Lord – Amen!
Prophetic Message: People will marvel at your Wisdom
Divine wisdom is a natural endowment. It does not come through education. It comes from above. Most of the disciples of our Lord Jesus Christ were illiterates, ordinary fishermen. Yet, in Acts 1:3-21 “When the rulers, elders and scribes saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were uneducated, common men, they wondered; and they recognized that they had been with Jesus. But seeing the man that had been healed standing beside them, they had nothing to say in opposition.” Child of God, you may not be well educated but as long as Jesus is concerned and as long as you continue to learn from him through the bible, the most educated people in your society will soon come to consult you. People will surely marvel at your wisdom and boldness. it shall be well with you in Jesus name – Amen!

Christology: Jesus, the Merciful Messiah

Today is the Sunday of Divine Mercy. It is the Sunday when we celebrate the dividends of the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. As Peter rightly preached after the resurrection of Christ, God raised Jesus from the dead so that through him repentance and forgiveness will be preached all over the world. That is exactly what we are celebrating today! In the gospel of JohN 20:19-31 Jesus came and stood among his disciples and He said to them, “Peace be with you… “Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained.” The authority to forgive sin was actually given to the apostle on this very day. From that very moment the disciples of our Lord Jesus Christ started liberating people from the bondage of sin, like their Master, our Lord Jesus Christ. Child of God, with this same authority and as an ordained minister I declare you free from all your sins in the name of God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit – Amen!
Inspirational Message: The authority to forgive sin remains the highest authority on earth. This authority was handed over to the disciples by our Lord Jesus Christ.
Prayer for the Forgiveness of sin: Merciful Father, your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, is the Divine Mercy Incarnate. Through your Divine Mercy so many people have gained their liberation from the bondage of sin. Lord, in your mercy deliver me and my fellow sinners from the bondage of sin. Do not allow the devil to hold any charge against me or against any of your child. Grant this through Christ our Lord – Amen!
Prophetic Message: You shall have enough to share with others
Sharing is the secret of success. It is the only way we can excel. It is the only way we can build a true Christian community. In Acts 4:32-35 “the company of those who believed were of one heart and soul, and no one said that any of the things which he possessed was his own, but they had everything in common… There was not any one needy among them, for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the proceeds of what was sold and laid it at the apostles’ feet; and distribution was made to each as any had need.” Child of God, as long as you believe in our Lord Jesus Christ and you are ready to share your bread with the hungry, the Lord will surely bless you. You will have more for yourself, for your family and for others. And it shall be well with you in Jesus name – Amen!

Christology: Jesus, the Son of the Most High God

Our Lord Jesus Christ is a Man with a difference. Even before his birth his true identity was revealed through the prophets and Archangels. The Archangel Gabriel announced his birth to Mary, saying, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. And now, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you will name him Jesus. He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Most High… He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end.” Mary Is a favoured woman because she gave birth to the Son of the Most High God. As the Son of the Most High, our Lord Jesus Christ was destined to be a great leader. His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom. To him be glory and praise both now and forevermore – Amen!
Inspirational Message: Jesus is not just the Son of Mary, He is also the Son of the Most High God. He is destined for greatness.
Prayer for Divine Sonship: Lord Jesus Christ, you are the Son of Mary and the son of the Most High God. Out of love you have made us God’s adopted children. We are now sharing in your divine sonship. Lord, we thank you for considering us worthy to be your brothers and sisters. Do not allow us to be separated from you. May we remain your faithful sons and daughters both now and forevermore – Amen!
Prophetic Message: Signs and Wonders shall follow you
There are so many signs in the world but there are also divine sign. Divine sign is sign that comes directly from the Most High God. In Isaiah 7:10-14 the Lord God gave Ahaz the Immanuel sign: ” the LORD spoke to Ahaz, saying, Ask a sign of the LORD your God; let it be deep as Sheol or high as heaven. But Ahaz said, I will not ask, and I will not put the LORD to the test. Then Isaiah said: “Hear then, O house of David! Is it too little for you to weary mortals, that you weary my God also? Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign. Look, the young woman is with child and shall bear a son, and shall name him Immanuel.” In the gospel of Mark 16:17-18 Jesus told his disciples, “These signs will accompany those who believe: in my name they will cast out demons; they will speak in new tongues; 18 they will pick up snakes in their hands,[a] and if they drink any deadly thing, it will not hurt them; they will lay their hands on the sick, and they will recover.” Child of God, as long as you are in Christ Jesus these and many other signs and wonders shall follow you; and it shall be well with you in Jesus name – Amen!

Christology: Jesus, the Heavenly Teacher

Although our Lord Jesus Christ is often addressed as the son of a Carpenter he was also endowed with heavenly and earthly wisdom. He was indeed the Master of all, including teachers. When he was in the world he mingled with almost every group in the society and he was able to engage them in all forms of gainful discussions. Among those who came to consult with him was Nicodemus, one of the outstanding teachers of his time. Jesus was amazed that even great teachers like Nicodemus could not comprehend heavenly wisdom. Thus he asked him, “Are you a teacher of Israel, and yet you do not understand this? Truly, truly, I say to you, we speak of what we know, and bear witness to what we have seen… If I have told you earthly things and you do not believe, How can you believe if I tell you heavenly things?” Our Lord Jesus Christ is not just an ordinary teacher, He is also our one and only Heavenly Teacher. To him be glory and praise both now and forevermore – Amen!
Prayer for Heavenly Teachers: Heavenly Father, you sent your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, into the world to reveal to us the secret of God’s kingdom. Through him we have acquired knowledge of heavenly realities. Lord, we need heavenly Teachers like our Lord Jesus Christ. Teachers who will not just teach carnally but who will also focus our minds on heavenly realties, grant this through Christ our Lord – Amen!
Prophetic Message: You shall not Lack
Christians are supposed to be the most generous people on earth. Christianity was built on the foundation of love and sharing. In Acts 4:32-37 “The company of those who believed were of one heart and soul,
and no one said that any of the things which he possessed was his own, but they had everything in common. And with great power the apostles gave their testimony to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and great grace was upon them all. There was not any one needy among them.” The early Christians did not lack because they were sharing what they have in common. Child of God, as long as you are ready to share what God has given you with the needy, you will never lack. The Lord will even use you to provide for the needy and it shall be well with you in Jesus name – Amen!

Christology: Jesus, the Beloved and only Begotten Son of God

God has an only Son and His name is Jesus. “God so loved the world that he gave his only-begotten Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.” Our Lord Jesus Christ is not just an only Son of God is also the only begotten and only beloved Son of God. He is the best gift of God to the world. As the best gift, He was sent to the world not to condemn the world but to save the world. He is indeed, the Saviour of the world, the Light of the world, the hope of the world and the joy of the world. To him be glory and praise both now and forevermore – Amen!
Inspirational Message: An only son is an only begotten son. He is often the most beloved One and indeed the only hope of the parents. Our Lord Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of God.
Prayer for only Sons: Lord Jesus Christ, you were an only Son. You really understood what it means to be an only son. You know the risk and the loneliness involved. When you were in the world all eyes were on you because you were an only with a difference. Most only sons are vulnerable because all eyes are on them. Whatever happens to an only sons affects the parents psychologically and even spiritually. Lord, protect the only sons in our world today. Do not allow anything to harm them. Grant this through Christ our Lord – Amen!
Prophetic Message: Every Closed Doors are Declared opened
The enemies are busy closing people’s doors but God is sending His angels to open every closed doors. In Acts 5:17-26 “The high priest and the party of the Sadducees were filled with jealousy, they arrested the apostles and put them in the common prison. But at night an angel of the Lord opened the prison doors and brought them out and said, “Go and stand in the temple and speak to the people all the words of this Life.”Child of God, I may not know the High priest or the Sadducees that are blocking your ways. I may not even know those who are trying to imprison you but what I know for sure is that every closed doors in your life are hereby declared opened in Jesus name – Amen!

Christology: Jesus, the Heavenly Citizen

Our Lord Jesus Christ is the Son of the Most High God. He came down from heaven. When he was in the world He retained his identity as a heavenly citizen. He told Nicodemus, “He who comes from above is above all; he who is of the earth belongs to the earth, and of the earth he speaks; he who comes from heaven is above all. He bears witness to what he has seen and heard, yet no one receives his testimony; he who receives his testimony sets his seal to this, that God is true.” Jesus is the only one that came from heaven. He is also the only One that has ascended into heaven. He is indeed a true citizen of heaven. To him be glory and praise both now and forevermore – Amen!
Inspirational Message: A citizen of heaven is one who lives in heaven and who comes from heaven. Our Lord Jesus Christ is a heavenly citizen.
Prayer for Heavenly Citizens: Lord Jesus Christ, by making us God’s adopted children you have qualified us to share in your heavenly citizenship. Lord, as you taught us, we are only pilgrims here on earth. Our true home is in heaven. May we be among those who will inherit your heavenly kingdom where you live and reign forever and ever – Amen!
Prophetic Message: Nobody can Silence You
Freedom of speech is a fundamental human right. The worst thing that can happen to anyone is to be deprived of their power of speech – to be silenced. In Acts 5:27-33 When the officers had brought the apostles, they set them before the council. And the high priest questioned them, saying, “We strictly charged you not to teach in this name, yet here you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching and you intend to bring this man’s blood upon us.” But Peter and the apostles answered, “We must obey God rather than men.” Peter and the rest of the apostles did not allow the high priest and the angry Jews to silence them. Instead of obeying man in doing the wrong thing they chose to obey God. Child of God, as long as you are in Christ Jesus, nobody can silence you. Your power of speech is hereby restored in Jesus name – Amen!
