A THANKFUL HEART by Peter Odoi

‘By Him therefore let us continually offer the sacrifice of praise, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name’ – Hebrews 13:15

Being thankful to God is meant to be a lifestyle for God’s people. We are to thank God, not just occasionally when everything is working right, but continually. Constant thanksgiving is a sacrifice of praise to God.

1 Thessalonians 5:18 says: ‘In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you’. And Ephesians 5:20 instructs us to give ‘thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ’. Giving thanks is not a special gift given to some few super people in the Church. All of God’s children are called to be thankful to God as a way of life.

Remind yourself of God’s benefits
Now, someone might say that continuous thankfulness is not practical since there are times when there isn’t anything to thank God for. Well, that is not true. As a child of God, there are always reasons to give God thanks. Even during your darkest moments, if you will pose for a bit and look deeply, you will always discover reasons why you should turn to God and say, ‘Father, thank you’.

Psalm 103 does a good job in reminding us that we always have reasons to be thankful. The writer of this Psalm, David, was a man who understood the power of thanksgiving even in the worst of times. He begins out by exhorting us to bless the Lord and never forget all His benefits:

‘Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name. Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits’ – Psalm 103:1-2

Apparently, David didn’t seem to be in the mood of blessing God much as he wrote this psalm. So what he did was to command his soul to rise up and do so anyway. Likewise, we all go through times when we just don’t feel like being thankful to God or anyone else for that matter; but as people of faith, we don’t do stuff because we feel so but because it is the right thing to do; because God says to do it.

When our emotions or circumstances go haywire and the last thing we want to do is thank anybody, we have to use our sanctified will to rise up and bless the Lord anyway. And as David shows us, a great help in doing that is to begin by reminding ourselves of God’s never-ending goodness and benefits toward us.

Years ago, the Lord whispered to my heart that as a child of God, there are numerous good things happening in my life even in my darkest times.

When the devil, and everybody else is telling you that there is nothing good happening in your life; and that you are therefore justified to be negative, depressed, grumpy, bitter, hopeless, etc, if you will just ask the Holy Spirit, He will remind you of all the marvelous things God will be doing right then in and to you, and you will find yourself bursting out in thanksgiving.

You are forgiven

For example, as a believer in Jesus Christ, you are forgiven of all sins – past, present and future. That means you will never have to suffer the due penalty that your sins deserve. That is a benefit from God that is a constant in your life. And what a huge benefit! What a blessing that because of what the Lord Jesus accomplished through His death and resurrection, the child of God is no longer guilty nor condemned by God; that God is not and never will be their enemy.

David mentions this awesome benefit in Psalm 103:3 ‘Who forgiveth all thine iniquities’. In verses 10 through to 12, He further reiterates how the forgiveness of our sins is so total and complete that we never ever have to worry that our sins might re-surface one day and be an issue between us and God:

‘He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities. For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him. As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us’.

To have your sins forgiven is such a huge blessing that it is reason enough to keep thanking God even if everything else seems not to be working. Think of it: you are not going to go to hell for your sins! Paul the apostle, wrote in Romans 4:6-8

‘Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works, saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered. Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin’.

As a believer in Christ, not only are your past sins forgiven and forgotten by God, but even for your future sins, forgiveness has already been provided by the one sacrifice of Jesus Christ’s life. The Lord will not (future) impute your sins to you. That means He will not hold you accountable for your sins. What can beat that blessing? Sin will never ever again be a problem between you and God because you are in Christ. Is that not reason to thank God every day of your life?

Healing is available
On top of the eternal forgiveness you have in Christ, healing for your physical body, your emotions, your mind and all other aspects of your life, have been provided for as well through the finished work of the Lord Jesus.

In Psalm 103:3, David said one of the benefits from God we are to constantly remind ourselves of is that ‘he healeth all our diseases’. If you are dealing with sickness of body or mind, one of the most effective ways to receive your healing is to begin to thank Him that by the stripes of Jesus, you have been healed. You will more easily receive your healing if choose to be thankful to God than if you go down the path of anxiety, bitterness, fear, self-pity, etc.

You see, in reality, a child of God never loses. Even in death, we have a solid hope that evokes praise deep within us. After all, physical death is merely a transition to a higher life. In Christ, we are never hopeless. The devil doesn’t like it when we have that kind of mind-set because then he realizes there is nothing he can do to put us down.

Redeemed from destruction
If you are alive today, I can guarantee you that God has saved you numerous times from all kinds of destruction. The devil has wanted you dead in a long time, and that you are alive today is only because God has been protecting you from all kinds of maladies and traps that the devil set to get rid of you. Psalm 103:4 says that one of the benefits from God that we must constantly remind ourselves of is that God ‘redeemeth thy life from destruction’.

When I look back into my own life, I can identify several specific times when God delivered me from destruction. As a young boy, I was saved from drowning in our local village pond. At 12, I survived being hit by a speeding car by a whisker. I have been put at gun point by armed robbers. And so many other times when I should have perished but God redeemed my life from destruction. I encourage you to take a moment, look into your past and you will see that you too have escaped fatal danger many times. That was God redeeming your life from destruction. And how can you still say you have no reasons to be thankful to God?

You are loved
David wrote in Psalm 103:4 that God ‘crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies’. Friend, God loves you. And that alone is enough to keep you thankful for the rest of your life. It is true the world is full of hurts and pains. It is amazing the hurtful things we humans do to one another. There are people who have known only rejection, loneliness and pain all their lives. Others have been betrayed so bad they have vowed never to let anybody come close to them again. While others believe they are so wicked nobody can ever love them.

Well, there is good news, thank God! No matter how you may have been hurt or how deep you have hurt others, God loves you. He is not mad at you. He is waiting to crown you with His loving kindness and tender mercies, if you will let Him. God’s love accomplishes in our lives things that nothing else can. Jesus said He will never cast away or reject anyone who comes to Him. If you have been rejected a lot, Papa God will never reject you. Run into His arms and let Him love you to wholeness. If everybody calls you the scum of the earth, God calls you the apple of His eye. You mean the world to Jesus. Think of it: He died for you!

When you begin to receive the love of God, you cease caring what people think or say about you. You understand that you have worth and value. You forgive everyone who ever hurt you, because you know it isn’t worth wasting your emotions being mad at people. You know that the Lord is your shepherd and His goodness will follow you all the days of your life.

Be happy
Thankful people are happy. They are full of joy and hope. Their minds are set on things above. They cast all their cares, and anxieties, and burdens upon God. Their lives are light.
Being thankful helps us. Everything God tells us to do is never for His benefit. God is self-sufficient and nothing we do adds anything to Him. He instructs us to be thankful for our own good, because He loves us. As you choose thankfulness over complaining, murmuring, grumbling, bitterness, revenge, envy, self-pity, etc, your life will fly to new heights. The very first benefit is that you will begin to experience the peace of God - peace that surpasses human understanding.

Thank God for God. Thank God for Jesus. Thank God for the Holy Spirit. Thank God for His Word. Thank God that you are born again, forgiven, a child of God. Thank God for the people in your life: your family, friends, neighbours, etc. Thank God you are alive. Thank God for health. Thank God for every material possession you have. Thank God for your country, for your government and leaders. Thank God for your pastors and spiritual mentors. Thank God for nature: for the air, for rain, for the sun, clouds, and flowers, and soil, and trees; for birds, and wild animals. Oh, how many things we have in and round us to thank God for. Maintain a thankful heart and live!

ONE THING By Peter Odoi

'And when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, so that they may be seen by men. Truly I say to you, They have their reward. But you, when you pray, enter into your room. And shutting your door, pray to your Father in secret; and your Father who sees in secret shall reward you openly' - Mathew 6:5-6

Some years ago, the Lord spoke deeply to me through this passage. He showed me that if I was going to have an intimate relationship with Him, and to be a victorious Christian, I was going to have to place top priority on spending personal time with Him. This was going to have to be the One Thing I was to prioritize above all else. Holy Spirit has since kept reminding me of this truth often.

It is impossible to have a close walk with Jesus of Nazareth without meeting alone with Him on a regular basis. We might have a major encounter with God that changes our lives, but for that impact to be maintained and to grow, we must develop a lifestyle of spending quality and quantity time alone with God.

God despises ‘public spirituality’

In the Scripture passage quoted above, the Lord Jesus warned His disciples against being like the hypocrites, referring to the Pharisees and the Scribes who were the religious elite then in Israel. The Pharisees and Scribes had this practice of spending hours praying in public places with the sole purpose of impressing people so they could be referred to as men of prayer. Jesus said they did indeed get their reward: the applause of people! God was never impressed!

God despises anything we do just so people can see or praise us. Father God is out for a genuine, intimate relationship with every one of us, and this cannot be accomplished when our spirituality is a mere outward show. God is not impressed when I attend every prayer meeting just so my fellow ‘prayer warriors’ can see I am there. God deals with us according to what He knows about us, not what people say about us.

Hypocrisy is a recipe for failure. We can only pretend for so long. When we do stuff just for a show, it isn’t coming from our heart, and so after a while, we abandon it. If all my praying is done when I am with other people, I am not really a prayerful person.

The quantity and quality of our prayer life is measured by how much time we spend alone with God, not the time we are in corporate prayer. Praying with other Christians is very important and necessary for our spiritual health, but depending on it alone will not lead to spiritual growth. While other people do encourage and help us along in our walk with God, how far we go with God comes down to how we relate with Him personally.

The Lord Jesus’ priority

Our Lord Jesus Himself placed top priority on spending time alone with the Father. Amidst His very busy life, He ‘fought’ to ensure that He had private time with His Father.
In Mark 1:35, we read concerning Jesus:
'And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed'.

The day before, Jesus had ministered late into the night, to a large crowd, healing the sick and casting out devils. But because private prayer was His priority, the Lord cut short His sleep, got out of the house, walked to a quiet spot and spent time with His Dad. This is only one of the many examples of the effort Jesus put out to spend time alone with God. If our Lord needed personal time alone with God, how much more must we do everything in our power to ensure that we make time for Papa God?

I find it interesting that though the Lord Jesus taught public prayer (Mathew 18:19), there is no record of Him participating in or leading a public prayer meeting. That speaks volumes!

One thing to desire

God called David a man after His own heart (Acts 13:32). For a long time, I wondered how David got this heart after God. Then God showed me Psalm 27:4:
‘One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple’.

This prayer of David reveals how and why he had a heart after God. David said he desired from God one thing above all else: that all the days of his life, he would be found in God’s presence, worshiping and meditating, or simply, fellow-shipping with God. As a teenager, David was out by himself a lot in the countryside looking after his father’s sheep. In those lonely places, David spent large amounts of time with God, and he came to prize personal fellowship with God above all else. Later when he became busy with the duties of a king and other things, he asked God to help him never drift away from the habit of spending large amounts of time in God’s presence. David knew that if he ever became so busy that he no longer had time to pray, worship and meditate, he would lose that heart after God.

One thing most needful

In Luke 10:42, Jesus told Martha,
‘But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her’.

Martha was complaining that her younger sister, Mary, was being idle by spending a lot of time at Jesus feet, listening to His Word. Jesus didn’t think so then and neither does He now! Spending a lot of time with God is never wasted time. Rather, the most precious item we can give God is our time.

The one thing we all need above all else is sitting at the feet of Jesus and communing with Him deeply. When spending time alone with God is our daily priority, it is amazing how all other things fall in place without that much struggle.

There are things that happen in the private prayer closet that don’t in public meetings. It is okay to ask other people to pray for you and I do it often, but I know that I will not develop in my walk with God depending on other people’s prayers for me alone. The Lord once asked a friend of mine, ‘Why do you keep coming to Me through someone else when you are My child too and you can come directly to Me?’.

God has an awesome plan for your life but unless you learn to retreat alone with Him regularly, you probably will never see that good plan come to pass, or at least not all of it.

Start today

If you don’t have much of a private prayer life, don’t feel condemned. That isn’t the purpose of this message. God loves you, whether you spend time with Him or not, but you won’t love Him much if you don’t. So start today. Determine to do it no matter what it costs you.

Like David, you can begin by asking God to help you spend time with Him regularly. And then act. Find a good time that suits you - first thing in the morning, last thing at night, whenever! Find a place where you will not be distracted. It might even be in your car. Put off the phone. This thing requires real effort and determination. There is probably nothing the devil is going to fight harder in your life than having time alone with God, but again I say, if at all you are serious about going anywhere with Jesus of Nazareth, you must make spending time alone with Him a priority - the One Thing.

Oh, the peace and sheer delight at hearing God speak through His Word or by His spirit in the stillness of His presence.

MINISTERING TO THE LORD by Peter Odoi

I was once listening to a preacher on radio who said, ‘The reason God has left you alive on earth is so that you can do something to make the world a better place to live in. If you aren’t doing anything for the Lord; if you are not engaged in some kind of ministry to someone else, you are just occupying space. You are worthless to God, to yourself and to other people, and it would be better if you just went on home to heaven’. At that time (several years ago), I whole-heartedly agreed with the preacher. Not any more!

Yes, I do believe that it is very important and absolutely necessary for believers to minister to one another, and to the world as well. I believe that every Christian should endeavor to make their world a better place by engaging in what Scripture calls, good works. However, I also have since learnt that this isn’t the only reason God has left me (and you) alive on earth today. In fact, it isn’t even the main reason. Also, it isn’t true that what gives us worth before God is what we do in His name to help others. Since listening to that radio preacher, the Father has taught me that there’s far much more to ministry than just the good I may do to help other people. In fact, I now know that the most powerful and essential ministry I can engage in is not to people, but to God Himself! That ministry is all about relating to and fellow-shipping with the Father.

God of relationship
You see, God is a God of relationship. His very nature is relationship. God is out for relationship. When the Father set out to redeem us, He wasn’t thinking of merely ending up with a bunch of workers for Him, but with a family with whom He could relate and fellowship. 1 Corinthians 1:9 tells us that God, who is faithful, has called us into the fellowship of His Son Jesus Christ our Lord. And in 2 Corinthians 12:14, Scripture states, ‘… I seek not yours but you …’ The Father is not just after what you can do for Him or give Him, but He seeks for you, the person! YOU are the reason Jesus came into the world and died! He had billions of workers (angels) doing all kinds of things for Him, but He still came into the world seeking to save you! It wasn’t because He was short of workers. He gets blessed by what we do for Him alright, but that is only if it is coming out of relationship and fellowship with Him.

The Martha syndrome
In Luke 10:38-42, we read about Martha and his sister Mary. Martha was a typical ‘ministry worker’ type. Her belief was that doing things for Jesus was more vital that fellow-shipping with Him. So whenever Jesus visited their house, Martha would get busy ‘serving’. This particular time, the Master stopped by Martha and Mary’s home, and Martha, as usual got to ‘serving’, while Mary chose instead to sit close to Jesus and fellowship with Him. Martha chose work over relationship while Mary chose relationship and fellowship over work. However, as it almost always happens, Martha soon grew weary and became grumpy.

Today, some would say she experienced ministry burnout!
Martha went over to Jesus and basically accused Him of encouraging Mary to keep talking with Him when there were ‘better’ things Mary could be doing to serve the Lord.
Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me. (Luke 10:40).

Now, that was bold for Martha to confront the Master like that, don’t you think? Her attitude was that Jesus was encouraging Mary to be lazy. Martha saw relating and fellow-shipping with the Lord as secondary to working for Him. She of course got it totally wrong. She had not caught the heart beat of Jesus at all. The Master’s reply to Martha’s complaint was, ‘Martha, Martha, you are troubled about too many things, while Mary has chosen the one thing which is most vital, and which will bring her the kind of peace, joy and satisfaction that your much serving can never bring’ (Luke 10:42 –My paraphrase). Another way of putting this is that Jesus was blessed by Mary’s fellowship with Him, over and above Martha’s doing stuff to get Him food.

Mary’s sitting at the feet of Jesus ministered to Him! She had somehow learnt that to Jesus, developing our relationship with Him supersedes everything else! The most powerful thing we can give to Jesus is ourselves! No matter what else we do or give to the Lord, if we cannot find time that we give to just be with Him, to fellowship with Him, to develop our relationship with Him, to love Him, then we aren’t blessing Him very much!

Hired servants or a child?
A major lie the devil has managed to pass on to many in the Church is that Jesus came to make us primarily workers for His Kingdom. It is this wrong attitude that fuels the teaching that God ‘hires and fires’ people based on their performance; that God will ‘put you on the shelf’ for a time, during which He won't talk to you, won't answer your prayer, won’t use you, etc, all because you have upset Him by not fulfilling some assignment. I believed such lies at some point in my life and my walk with God was so badly affected. Oh, but I was so glad when I discovered that my Father was more interested in me myself, in the relationship I have with Him, over and above how I perform in my service to Him. I am so blessed to know that My Father never gets disappointed at me; that He will never fire me, because He has never hired me! I am His child, not just His employee, a hired servant! His gifts and callings are without repentance (Romans 9:11), praise God!

In the family setting, relationship should be more important than work. (It always isn’t, regrettably). A family that tries to stay together based only on what they do for one another, not on how they relate, won't last very long. People don't marry so they can work for each other. People marry because they want relationship; because they love each other; because they want to spend their lives together; they want to BE together. Now out of that relationship and fellowship, service and other things motivated by love automatically follow, but doing things should never become the priority. If all you want is a worker, you don't have to marry. You can just pay somebody to do house chores, or whatever other thing family members normally do.

Child of God, the Lord has saved you for relationship with Him as priority. Yes, He has a destiny for you. He has an assignment of service for you to fulfill. But these things are designed to flow out of your relationship with Him, not to be engaged in independent of God. In fact, if ministering to God is not your priority, it is very possible that you might never get to fulfill that assignment. Any truly God-given vision takes divine enablement to fulfill, and that enablement is a product of how one relates with God.

Because the Father is a God of relationship, when we fellowship with Him, it ministers to Him. He enjoys us! It blesses God when we give time to just be with Him, and learn about Him, and tell Him we love Him. This is what the prophets and teachers were doing in Acts 13:1-2. They got together to fast and minister to the Lord. Note: they weren’t interceding or doing spiritual warfare. They weren’t trying to get God to give them something or do anything. Ministering to God is spending time with the Lord, worshiping Him, enjoying Him, meditating on His goodness! I don’t believe we are ministering to God if all the time we spend with Him is taken up asking Him to do this or that; or ‘bombarding the gates of heaven’; or ‘tearing asunder the sky of brass’; or lecturing Him on how rotten and undeserving we are, etc.

Ministering to the Lord is what David described in Psalm 27:4 as ‘beholding His beauty and inquiring in His temple’. It is BEING with Him; spending time in His presence! It is thanking Him, worshiping Him, praising Him, waiting upon Him in silence and in meditation. It is loving Him back. Anyone who loves wants to be loved back, and God whose love for us is so intense is blessed when we love Him back. God loves you fanatically! When you respond to that love and you love Him back, it ministers to Him! Yes, He is complete in Himself, and what we do doesn’t really add anything to who He is, but Scripture is clear that the God, who gave all so He could have relationship with us, is blessed when we show Him that the relationship we have with Him is our priority.

THE FATHER’S LOVE DREAM by Peter Odoi

In the beginning, God had a dream: a dream that motivated Him to create mankind. It was a dream birthed out of His love-nature and father-nature. The dream was that He would have a family, whom He would love, and who would love Him back by choice not coercion. He was looking for intimate relationship.

And so God created Adam and Eve, the very first human couple; and it was a fabulous love-affair that went on between them and the Father. They got together every cool of the day to just be together (Genesis 3:8-9). It was a beautiful relationship.

But just when everything was going so well, the Father’s dream was disrupted when mankind succumbed to the devil’s temptation (Genesis 3), and chose to rebel against God. They sinned. They in effect chose the devil, over God.

Sin brought a separation between God and mankind. Enmity erupted between God and people, and throughout most of the Old Testament, and especially after the enactment of the Law of Moses, we see how God would come down heavy on mankind, judging and punishing them for their sins. God’s presence was shut up in the Holy of holies, with no person able to walk in and freely fellowship with the Father-creator. God came across as being very harsh, hard to deal with and aloof; Someone to be avoided! It looked like the Father’s original love-dream of a Family was forever gone. But no, it wasn’t, thank God!
Jesus’ birth: signal to end the enmity!

You see, the Father had foreseen it all, even before He created people, and He had a plan (Ephesians 1:4-6):- a plan to redeem mankind and make it possible for people to choose to walk with Him again. His love dream must succeed. He wasn’t going to just give up on His love agenda nor was the devil going to have the last laugh over this issue.

That redemption plan began to be practically implemented with the birth of the Lord Jesus. The angels who announced the Lord’s birth put it so well: Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. (Luke 2:10-11, 14).

The birth of Jesus was great joy to the world, because it signalled the practical beginning of the end of the conflict that had existed between mankind and God due to sin. In pursuit of His love-dream, the Father provided a Saviour for mankind, who put an end to sin, and therefore the enmity between God and mankind.

The Father made a very expensive move, the most expensive He has ever taken and ever will, to have back the intimate relationship with people that He had envisioned when He first made us. That move meant His own Son (actually Himself) becoming a human being, so that He could die the death that we deserved (Hebrews 2:9), thereby opening the door for us to be able to choose to get back into the dream of the Father. In John 3:16, the Lord Jesus stated that it was love that motivated the Father to do that. ‘For God so loved the world (people) that He gave His Only Son’ (John 3:16) to suffer the consequences of sin, as a Substitute for us.

A mission of love

The Lord Jesus came to earth on a mission of love! He didn’t come because the Father was angry! Religion emphasizes the justice of the Father, but salvation was made possible by God’s love. In the birth of the Master, and later through His death, mercy triumphed over justice (James 2:13).

If you are saved today i.e. you have a living relationship with God, it is because 2,000 years ago, a Saviour was born for you! He was born because the Father loved you so intensely, so passionately that He paid the heaviest price ever just so He could have you as part of His family. You didn’t deserve it, and you didn’t ask Him to do it, or even participate in it. It was His own initiative, birthed out of His nature of love and fatherhood (1 John 4:17).

Your part now is to only believe! You see, you have the exact same opportunity Adam and Eve had in the beginning: to choose to go with either God or the devil. Adam and Eve chose the devil, but you do not have to. You can choose God and for ever enjoy the benefits of Papa God’s love dream.

Believe the love

This Christmas season, I encourage you to believe the love that God showed for you through the birth of His Son. God sent His Son into the world to bring life, hope, love, peace, purpose. It was not to condemn mankind but to save us (John 3:17)!

God is no longer at war with you over your sin. At the cross, Jesus completely and eternally defeated your sin, and the sin of every person (1 John 2:2; 2 Corinthians 5:19). God is not your enemy! He is not mad at you! Whatever judgment you deserve, Jesus already took it. God loves you! Believe the love.

The night Jesus was born, the angels announced in their song that God was declaring peace. To mankind who had hitherto been His enemies, God announced reconciliation. ‘Peace! Instead of war, I bring a Saviour’. God’s will for you is good! He is of good will toward you. He wants it well with you. He wants you to enjoy the quality of life that He has. That life is found in knowing Him intimately. It is what Scripture calls eternal life.
Jesus didn’t die just so people don’t go to hell, although that is true. His ultimate goal was and is that through His death, we get the opportunity to experience eternal life (John 3:16). According to John 3:16, eternal life is knowing God, which means having a personal, intimate relationship with the Father and the Son. It was the dream for which the Father created mankind, and for which Jesus gave His life.

May this Christmas season be a time when you believe and enjoy the love of the Father. God is a good God. He is a God of love, grace and mercy! The Saviour has been born! Your sins have been paid for! God isn’t mad at you!

Believe the good news! Believe the love … and enjoy eternal life, the Father’s love-dream for you. The Saviour is born: joy to the world!

Your friend,
Peter Odoi
