In the midst of long genealogies and unfamiliar names in the book of Chronicles, there appears a short but powerful story—only two verses long—yet full of spiritual depth. It is the story of a man named Jabez.

The Bible tells us that Jabez was born in pain. His very name was connected to sorrow. From birth, life seemed to speak hardship over him. But Jabez refused to allow his background to define his destiny. Instead of accepting limitation, he lifted his voice to God in prayer.

In just one prayer, Jabez asked for four things:
God’s blessing, enlargement, divine presence, and protection. And the Bible gives us one powerful conclusion—“And God granted him what he requested.”

Today, as we reflect on this passage, we will learn that:

Your past does not have to determine your future.

Your pain can become a platform for prayer.

A sincere cry to God can change your story.

As Pastor Nicholas takes us through this teaching, may God teach us how to rise above limitations, pray with faith, and walk in divine favor.

How does God respond when people are lost? The answer is—with love, mercy, and a desire for reconciliation.

In Luke 15:11–32, Jesus paints a vivid picture of humanity’s condition and God’s loving response. The younger son represents all who have chosen their own way, walking away from the Father’s presence and provision. His rebellion did not begin in a far country—it began in the heart. Yet even in his failure, the Father never stopped loving him.

This parable reveals that separation from God is not the end of the story. When the son “came to himself” and decided to return home, he discovered a Father who was watching, waiting, and ready to restore. This is the heart of God toward every sinner who turns back to Him.

Reconciliation is not achieved by the son’s apology alone, but by the Father’s grace. The robe, the ring, and the sandals all speak of restored sonship, dignity, and authority. God does not receive us back as servants—He restores us as sons and daughters.

God’s love does not excuse sin, but it overcomes it. His desire is not to shame us for where we have been, but to celebrate our return. Luke 15 shows us a God who runs toward the repentant, embraces the broken, and invites the lost back into fellowship with Him.

“Those who accepted his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to their number that day.”
— Acts 2:41
A baptismal certificate serves as a formal testimony that baptism publicly took place. Baptism in the Bible was never done in secret. It was witnessed by the church and recorded as a definite moment in a believer’s life.
The certificate reminds the believer of the day they publicly identified with Christ—just as Israel erected stones to remember what God had done (Joshua 4:6–7).
Issuing baptismal certificates helps the church Keep accurate membership records, Affirm eligibility for church responsibilities and Provide accountability and pastoral care

Baptism is not merely a ceremony; it is a biblical command and a public declaration of faith in Jesus Christ. The Lord Himself said, “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit” (Matthew 28:19).

Baptism represents identification with Christ in His death, burial, and resurrection. The Apostle Paul declares, “We were therefore buried with Him through baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead… we too may live a new life” (Romans 6:4).

Baptism does not save us by works, but it is the outward expression of an inward transformation. As it is written, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit” (Acts 2:38). It is an act of obedience, faith, and surrender to the lordship of Christ.

Water baptism is a biblical ordinance commanded by Jesus Christ for all who believe in Him. It is an outward, public declaration of an inward transformation that has already taken place through faith and repentance.
Jesus Himself set the example by being baptized, not because He needed repentance, but to fulfill all righteousness (Matthew 3:13–15). Before ascending to heaven, He gave a clear command to the Church:
“Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.”
— Matthew 28:19

Baptism does not save us, but it is an act of obedience, faith, and identification with Christ.

Babylon did not begin by forcing Daniel and his friends to bow to idols; it began by reshaping their identity, thinking, and loyalty. Bro. Mike Ndambuki is exposing a dangerous system—the Babylonian spirit—a mindset that seeks to dominate God’s people primarily through assimilation, compromise, and re-education. Babylonian culture attempts to erase covenant identity and loyalty to God. In the midst of Babylon’s pressure, God raises young men who stand firm without rebellion, remain faithful without isolation, and shine with excellence without compromise. The Babylonian spirit is still at work today—seeking to shape beliefs, normalize compromise, and silence conviction. This message calls us to discern that spirit, expose its tactics, and learn how to live faithfully in a culture that does not honor God, while still influencing it for His glory.

Fasting is one of the most powerful yet often misunderstood spiritual disciplines in Christianity. Throughout Scripture, fasting is as a humble posture of the heart, where believers intentionally deny the flesh in order to seek God more earnestly.
Fasting is closely connected with prayer, repentance, consecration, and spiritual sensitivity.
Eng. Mike explores what fasting is, what it is not, why believers fast, and how to fast in a way that honors God with a goal to understand its biblical foundation and spiritual impact so that it becomes a life-giving discipline rather than a burdensome obligation.
