So simple yet so difficult

^{So simple yet so difficult.}

^{Read Acts 8:14-17}

¹⁴ Now when the apostles who were at Jerusalem heard that amaria had received the Word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John,

¹⁵ who, when they had come down, prayed for them that they might receive the Holy Ghost.

¹⁶ (For as yet, He had fallen upon none of them, for they had only been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus).

¹⁷ Then they laid their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost.

We see how simple it was for people to receive the Holy Spirit.

What has happened today?

Has God changed?

No, He does not change, the promise is still the same.

This Sunday I will lay hands on people with this faith, for you who wants to receive the Holy Spirit @ 9:30am in the UCKG Nottingham and anywhere in the world you can ask your pastor to lay hands on you based on this promise.

Are you going to be there?

Leave your comments telling us at which UCKG you will be receiving the promises.

Between faith and emotion

Between Faith and Emotion

Between Faith and Emotion 

When he heard

The inquiry of his son

Father, where’s the lamb?

His heart began to bleed

When he heard

Abraham’s reply

The Lord will provide

His heart began to fear

And side by side in silence they cried

As they came closer to the place of sacrifice

A request that smashes through the heart

Choosing between your faith and your emotion

When you have the choice of saying no, but faith says to obey

When you have to stand and face your fight, but the heart cowards away

It’s not easy being Abraham by surrendering your son

Being Isaac and lie down on the altar who you are.

Entre la foi et la raison (paroles) - Florence

God's commandment For those who are going to the Altar

Have I not commanded you:

1.  Be Strong 
2. Be Courageous 
3. Do Not Be Afraid
4. Don't be Dismayed
5. God is with you
6. He will provide

Joshua 1:9, Genesis 22:14

Abraham Laughed

We know that Sarah laughed when God spoke to her, but what many people don't know is that Abraham also laughed lets read bellow:

¹⁵ Then God said to Abraham, “As for Sarai your wife, you shall not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall be her name. ¹⁶ And I will bless her and also give you a son by her; then I will bless her, and she shall be a mother of nations; kings of peoples shall be from her.”

¹⁷ Then Abraham fell on his face and laughed, and said in his heart, “Shall a child be born to a man who is one hundred years old? And shall Sarah, who is ninety years old, bear a child?” 

¹⁸ And Abraham said to God, “Oh, that Ishmael might live before You!”

¹⁹ Then God said: “No, Sarah your wife shall bear you a son, and you shall call his name Isaac; I will establish My covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with his descendants after him.

Genesis 17:15-19 NKJV

How many people are laughing inside of them, saying how can I achieve what you want.

We also see that Abraham said "Oh that Ishmael might live before the You!"
God firmly reply No, but Sarah will bear you a son, Isaac.

When a person has been through a lot in life, without seen her dreams coming true, the tendency is that they will settle for less and give up on achieving what they wanted first place.

Abraham had a son, so he thought maybe this could be the one, if God wanted him to.

It is once again the story of bad, good or excellent. Many when they are in a good position they stop fighting for more.

Maybe you have gone from bad to good.

From childless to Ishmael.
Your family member is no longer in drugs but still not with God.
You used to be very sick but now if feel better but not healed.

You used to be single but now you are married but not happily.

You used to be unemployed but now you have a job but you are not rich.

You used to be suicidal but now you want to live but still don't have the new birth etc...

NO, NO, NO.

Just like God said to Abraham he says to us, Ishmael (Good) is not enough, I want to give you Isaac (Excellent) and multiply your descendants.

In other words there has to be a difference, I don't want someone to say 

Abraham has a child but Sarah is still barren, there was no difference, he still did not have his son with his wife, No. God wanted to make a difference, that is why He spoke to Abraham and today He is speaking to you.

Abraham believed and obeyed what God told him to do.

What about you? Are you going to settle for less?

This Sunday 8th of July at 9:30 am in the UCKG this difference will be made in the life of those who are not happy in having just what is good but want to be excellent and are willing to sacrifice their lives for it to happen.

Thanks for your time.

God Bless You

Where are you at?

BAD - GOOD - EXCELLENT

We had the Power of Prayer Tour in Nottingham UCKG and Bishop Junior was talking about how Abraham's Father he left his hometown to go to Canaan but he stopped in Haram and never reached where he was going to and died as a loser for not finishing his journey  Genesis 11:31

Why?

In life that we have 3 kinds of situation people can be in:

BAD =  Immigration problems, unemployed, loneliness, depressed, suicidal, broken marriage or single etc... 

GOOD= No Immigration Problems, employed, married etc...

EXCELLENT=  Successful in all things, very happy, blessed in all areas.

Most people are either bad or good, just a few are excellent  we see that Abraham was blessed in all areas of his life the same God wants to do for you.

Change the way you think and you will change your life.

Good is not enough God wants you to have an excellent life.

May God Bless you.
