2020

The Covid -19 pandemic has raised many ques�ons amongst us. ‘What is going on? ’‘Why is all this has happening?’ Governments are clueless, precau�onary measures are being taken and many are looking to the Lord for answers. The world’s strongest and richest countries are also in a state of panic. No solu�on seems to be in sight, pushing Doctors & Scien�st over the edge and causing them to work 24x7.There is only one person who has the solu�on and the answers that a desperate world is looking for. He is Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Sadly, not many of are interested in his prescrip�on. I want to urge the Church to return to its1st love i.e. Jesus Christ. He wants you; he wants to use you, he wants you to work with him, but where are we,Church? How should he draw our a�en�on to himself? The Old Testament is an eternal reminder of this fact - ‘whenever God's people turned away from him, he punished them by handing them over to the gen�le Kings, and turned his face away from them un�l they turned back to Him, their source of abundant life! Are we, His Church, trying to do things in the flesh? Our name, posi�on, fame, bank balance, rela�onship with the masses, rela�onships with people in power, looks, speaking skills, mo�va�onal talks, looks, speaking skills, mo�va�onal talks? What is it that we can boast about?Unfortunately, all these things are not beneficial for the expansion of God's kingdom. This is only possible by the Power of the Holy Spirit. My prayer is that we develop a deep desire to be con�nually filled with the Holy Spirit, and prepare ourselves for a big ba�le. The Corona Virus Pandemic will pass in such a way that we would not even remember! But there is more to this, A final Ba�le and the Trumpet will be blown. Let’s get ready to go to our permanent home which Jesus has prepared for us!

“Not long a�er that, the younger son got together all he had, set off for a distant country and there squandered his wealth in wild living. Luke 15:13

Church, HAVE WE GONE FAR AWAY?

8th MAY

He said to me, “Son of man, stand up on your feet and I will speak to you.” As he spoke, the Spirit came into me and raised me to my feet, and I heard him speaking to me. Ezekiel 2:1-2 Church THE LORD WANTS TO SPEAK to us and wants to unravel his future plans to the Church.

11th MAY

For the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are in conflict with each other, so that you are not to do whatever you want. Gala�ans 5:17

Church, it is not possible to do anything in the flesh for the expansion of God’s Kingdom, because flesh gives birth to flesh only. LET’S RENOUNCE ALL WORKS DONE IN THE FLESH.

12th MAY

For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs. 1 Timothy 6:10

Church, the mundane ac�vi�es of our lives o�en take our a�en�on and focus away from God. We are busy with work or our studies, our families, our health, even our �me to unwind. LET’S DRAW OUR ATTENTION BACK TO GOD.

But Elisha said to him, "Was not my spirit with you when the man got down from his chariot to meet you? Is this the �me to take money or to accept clothes--or olive groves and vineyards, or flocks and herds, or male and female slaves? 2 King 5:26

Church, this not the �me for material gains, this is the �me of supernatural things because the Holy Spirit is manifested in the earth in its fullness. Like Gehazi LET’S NOT RUN AFTER PERISHABLE THINGS but like Paul look for the heavenly things.

14th MAY

omit ‘Paul says about this, “Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or what fellowship has light with darkness?

What agreement has the temple of God with idols? ” – 2 Corinthians 6:14-16 Church, Jehoshaphat made a marriage alliance with Ahab” – 2 Chronicles 18:1.

They stood where they were and read from the Book of the Law of the Lord their God for a quarter of the day, and spent another quarter in confession and in worshiping the Lord their God. Nehemiah 9:1-3

Church, LET’S MAKE AN ABSOLUTE SURRENDER TO GOD.

Church, OUR FATHER IS WAITING WITH OPEN ARMS.

31st MAY

Persecu�on is going to increase dras�cally; it will be at an all �me high. The Church needs to be prepared. This is a relay race, and we have reached the final leg where the baton has to be handed over. During this final leg there will be a fierce war between heaven and hell in which Satan will try to draw as many people as he can to hell and God’s kingdom will fight to save as many people who are hell bound.There is always calm before a great storm, and we are currently in a period of calm. God is strengthening his church, each in their own homes. It will con�nue in this fashion in the days to come.
