Today, Bishop continues part 2 of the series "Do the Right Thing Towards Your Enemies." Believers should never take matters into their hands when someone warns them. We need to let God do what He does as it pertains to vengeance. We must apply the "Principle of Replacement." This means when someone does evil to us, we must in turn pay good toward evil. Even if our enemy never repents, forgiving him/her will free the believer of a heavy load of bitterness. Please allow this message to change the way you view your enemies. Have a blessed and safe week.

Today, Bishop teaches on the importance of how believers should treat their enemies from Romans 12:17-21. As believers, we will have enemies. Jesus had enemies when doing the Lord's will. So shall we. As Christians, we must live on a higher level and return good for evil. If we decide to take matters in our hands and defend ourselves, then the Lord can't defend you. We don't wrestle with flesh and blood. The real enemy is satan and he will use people we trust and love to test us. Remember, we must trust God to work in the life of the one who wronged us. We must live at peace with everyone. This is a manifestation of Christian Character. Lastly, remorse is not the same thing as repentance. May this powerful Word change the way you see people who have wronged you. Have a bless and safe week. 

Today, Bishop teaches on the importance of having a proper concept of God, so we have properly love our brothers and sisters.  When we have an improper concept of God, it will cause us to see our brothers and sisters has an enemy. For believers to have a proper of image of God, our minds have to be renewed. This renewed mind will cause us to have a new mindset to the things of God. The right concept of God comes from being properly discipled.  Lastly, it is important for believes to P. R. A. Y. for our brothers and sisters and not P. R. E. Y. We know some people are difficult to love, but so were you. Yet, God loved you so much He sent His son Jesus to die for you. We have no excuse for not showing agape love to others. Be bless and have a safe week. 

Today, Bishop teaches from Romans 12:13 on the importance of hospitality and how it differs from entertaining.  As believers, we can conquer the trials of life by: (1) rejoicing in hope, (2) enduring trials, and (3) continuing in prayers. Hospitality (manifested love) is the practice of receiving and entertaining guests, visitors, or strangers. The focus is on the guest. Entertaining is focused on the host. As Christians, we should actively seek opportunities to this manifesting love to our fellow believers. It is vital for believers who have enough or more to share their abundance with those who are in need. The word "distributing" is translated to communicating but means "sending of funds" (money). Hospitality can occur in a messy home or even while doing chores. Also, it improves with practice. As we enter into the month of February (the love month), let us not miss an opportunity to extend hospitality to our natural and spiritual family. Our prayer is that this word change the way you view hospitality. May the Lord keep and bless you and your family throughout this week. 

Today, Bishop continues to minister from Romans 12:12 on "rejoicing in hope," "patient in suffering," and "faithful in prayer."  A lazy Christian is a contradiction of terms. Believers can't afford to grow cold in their zeal.  We rejoice in hope because it is founded on the unchangeable promise of God. We believe God will do what He said He would do. Hope respects what God has declared in His word. Endurance is a key trait of a true believer. Faithful prayer is the antidote to the worries of life. Without prayer, we would be overwhelmed by circumstances of life. Prayer is our lifeline to God. Lastly, we conquer the trials of life by doing all three critical things. May this powerful Word of God change your way of looking at trials and persecution. May the Lord bless and keep you throughout the week.

Today, Bishop Rodgers continues to teach from Romans 12:9-11 on the importance of agape love in ministry. Love precede the precepts. Faith works by love. When we, as believers, really love - we are practicing God.  As believers, we need to take off the mask of love and stop pretending to care for others. As Christians, we should honor one another above ourselves. Instead of being centered on our own personal status, we should go out of our way to esteem others. There is no such thing as a lazy Christian. In our service to God must be done with diligence, zeal and earnestness. May this message change the way you see love. Have a safe and blessed week. 

Today, Bishop Rodgers teaches from Romans 12:6-8 on the God's gifts to the local body (church). It was never designed that all Christians should be equal. In God's perfect wisdom, He designed that all Christians should have different endowments. Christians need to be careful to not squander their's money, time, abilities, influence, or any talent because they are wasting what was entrusted to them by God. All sevens gifts listed in this passage of scripture only works with love -- and love is the most important gift. May this message change your way of viewing gifts in the body of Christ. Have a safe and blessed week. 

Today, Bishop teaches from Romans 12:3-6 on practicing the plan God gave you. Each believer is a living part of Christ's body and each one has a spiritual function. Each believer has a gift (or gifts) to be used for the building up of the body and the perfecting of the other members of the body. The exercise of sound judgment will lead believers to recognize that in self there is nothing and it will yield the fruit of humility. There is no such thing an equality of gifts. Each believer has a different gift. True honor consists in rightly discharging the duties which God requires of us in our appropriate sphere. Be bless by this message. Have a safe and bless week!

On this New Year's Eve night, Bishop teaches from Romans 12:1-2 on the importance of serving one another. As believers are transformed in their minds and are conformed to the image of Christ, they will be able to discern, desire, and approve the will go God. The real source of quality relationships with others is full commitment to the Lord. Believers do not operate in a physical temple but are themselves God's temple. Apostle Paul gives us two reasons for this commitment: (1) It is the right response to all that God has done for us; and (2) This commitment is "our reasonable service" or "our spiritual worship." We can never be what we can't see. It takes the Holy Spirit to renew our minds and perceive the things of God. Happy New Year and may this word of God bring about a change for this coming year! 

Today, Bishop P. O. teaches on the "Real Love" from 1st John 4:7-11. In this passage of scripture, John makes three key points: (1) God is the source of all love; (2) God models what genuine love is; and (3) God commands us to love each other. We move from the contention that God is love to the command that we are to love each other. The real Christian "practices being God." Since God is love, and we have claimed a personal relationship with God, we must of necessity reveal His love in how we live.  The confessions of the Christian's mouth are expressed by the way we behave toward others. The last Sunday in 2019 it is important to demonstrate godly love to a dying world. Be bless by this life changing word of God. Be safe and may the Lord bless and keep you in every area of your life.
