APPRECIATION MESSAGE

Today we lift our hearts in gratitude to the Almighty God. What we see before us is more than a building—it is a testimony of His faithfulness, a memorial of His goodness, and a witness to the power of our Big God.

This place, once known for darkness and social vices, has by His grace been transformed into a beacon of hope, healing, and the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. Truly, the old has given way to the new—not only in structure, but in vision, mission, and kingdom impact that will ripple across generations.

On the 11th of September 2025, through the Big God Project, history was made. What was long prayed for has now become reality—because our God answers prayers and His timing is perfect.

We deeply appreciate every partner, prayer warrior, and friend of this ministry. To every hand that gave, every voice that prayed, and every heart that believed—thank you. Your obedience, sacrifice, and generosity have built a testimony that will speak for generations to come.

This new headquarters now stands as a monument to faith, vision, and unity. It is a place where lives will be transformed, disciples equipped, and Christ forever exalted.

May the Lord richly bless you and cause His glory to shine upon you. Truly, TO GOD BE THE GLORY—FOR THIS HE HAS DONE IN HIS TIME!

How do I handle lingering feelings of guilt even after I have confessed my sin?

Acts 10:36
This is the message of Good News . . . there is peace with God through Jesus Christ, who is Lord of all.

Romans 1:16-17
For I am not ashamed of this Good News about Christ. It is the power of God at work, saving everyone who believes—the Jew first and also the Gentile. This Good News tells us how God makes us right in his sight.
News that seems too good to be true is sometimes the hardest thing to believe. God’s Good News is the best news you’ll ever hear, and best of all it is true! Every person is on death row—doomed to an eternity of being separated from God. We all have been declared “guilty.” Escape might seem impossible, especially if you have done some terrible things. But to everyone God offers the most amazing gift—freedom from eternal death and life forever in heaven with him where all is good and perfect. All you have to do is believe this Good News by accepting the truth that Jesus died for your sins. When you do, your guilt is gone completely and your life is so changed you’ll gratefully follow Jesus and live the way he asks his believers to live. God doesn’t want you to feel guilty about being free; he wants you to enjoy your freedom and make the most of it.

Psalm 51:7
Purify me from my sins, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.
Trust God’s truth, not your fickle, fluctuating feelings. Most of your guilt may really be shame and regret over what you have done or the lingering consequences of your actions. Along with confessing your sins, you need to embrace God’s promise to forgive you and cleanse you from shame and regret as well.

Mark 3:28-29
“I tell you the truth, all sin . . . can be forgiven.”

Psalm 103:3, 10
He forgives all my sins and heals all my diseases. . . . He does not punish us for all our sins; he does not deal harshly with us, as we deserve.
Forgiveness means that God looks at you as though you have never sinned. When you receive his forgiveness, you are blameless before him. When God forgives, he doesn’t sweep your sins under the carpet; instead, he completely washes them away. If you have confessed your sin, don’t go through another day with the weight of unnecessary guilt.

GUILT
We’ve all felt guilty about something we’ve done wrong. Guilt is a God-given mechanism to alert us that we’ve sinned. Sometimes we aren’t even aware we’ve done something wrong until the feeling of guilt creeps up. Other times we feel stronger guilt than the deed warrants. Ignoring the guilt is dangerous because we can eventually tune it out and feel too comfortable with sin. The best way to deal with guilt is to confess the sin to God and ask forgiveness. If the sin is against another person, confess it to them as well. Forgiveness is the only cleansing agent that can remove both the sin and the guilt

OPPORTUNITIES

In many ways, our lives are defined by opportunities seized or missed. According to the Bible, we are to take advantage of opportunities by responding with bold action when we recognize them as God-given chances to participate in his purpose. At all times we must be prepared to recognize and act upon the opportunities that God creates for us to be used by and for him. However, the greatest opportunity is the gift of salvation that God allows us to receive for free if we believe and obey him. We should work hard to make others aware of this gift so they don’t miss out on this greatest of opportunities

CONSEQUENCES

A knife is kept, a child picks it and cut his hand, the injury is the consequence of a knife kept carelessly by someone. Similarly, words are spoken that wound someone. The wounds are the consequence of damaging words. Other words are spoken and a person accepts Christ. That too is a consequence of words, but words that serve God. ”Consequence” means an outcome, aftermath, result. With some actions the consequences are neither morally good or bad, but many thoughts and actions have definite good or bad consequences. Sin causes bad consequences—always. Faithfulness to God results in good consequences—always. Before you act, think, What will the consequences of my actions be?
