JUNE 2026 LETTER
It is vital to speak about our calling—a subject of great importance to us. First, we must understand that having God’s calling does not exempt us from persecution, difficulties, or adversities in our walk as believers. We will face opposition from both within and without. Yet, we must not fear persecution, difficulties, adversities, or the circumstances that rise against us. If God is for us, who can be against us? (Romans 8:31) This scripture should encourage us—it certainly encourages me. Therefore, as those called by the Lord, we need not fear what others do or say to us. Rest assured, there will be many who say and do many things, but this must not shake us! Through Jesus Christ, we are more than conquerors!
When Paul answered his calling, he faced great opposition and his life was always in danger, yet he remained unshakable. We must hold that same stance Paul held! (Acts 9:23; Acts 8:1)
Our struggle is against principalities and powers governed by the kingdom of darkness in this world. Let us be very clear about this!
Ephesians 6:12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.
The enemy's work will always be to try to stop us from the path the Lord has entrusted to us. We must understand the enemy's strategies. Our enemy is the devil—no one else. However, some allow themselves to be used and manipulated by him.
John 10:10 The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.
Do not let persecutions, adversities, needs, or other circumstances overwhelm you; do not become discouraged. Do not lose sight of the assignment the Lord has given you. Do not allow these things to become a distraction in your life. Our strength comes from the Lord; do not look back, nor to the left or the right—keep your eyes fixed on Him.
Proverbs 4:25-27 Let your eyes look straight ahead, And your eyelids look right before you. 26 Ponder the path of your feet, And let all your ways be established. 27 Do not turn to the right or the left; Remove your foot from evil.
2 Timothy 1:14 That good thing which was committed to you, keep by the Holy Spirit who dwells in us.
Cherish and protect what the Lord has given and entrusted to you; the work of His kingdom and doing His will are of great value. The Lord needs sons and daughters who stand firm for His work. Do not compromise your walk or His Word! Speak the truth of His Word; do not compromise, regardless of the cost or whether people listen to you—simply do your part as an instrument of the Lord. The Lord seeks only someone who is faithful to His calling. It is better to be faithful to the Lord and your calling than to anything else this world might offer. Please God, not men! It is better to be faithful to God! He will reward you for your obedience and faithfulness. He will not let us be put to shame when our hearts are set on pleasing Him. He is faithful, and He is a good Father!
One must be determined to do His will—this is a personal matter—no matter the cost. Jesus already paid the price for our salvation and our sins, but doing His will requires us to deny ourselves. We must do our part. Paul had to deny himself (Galatians 2:20), and we must do the same. The things of the Kingdom are not obtained like a drive-thru service; we must renew our minds to align with the Lord's heart, and we find His heart in His written Word. Devote time to the Lord to know His heart! That way, you can act in accordance with Him.
If the Lord has called you, do what He has told you—exactly as He has told you; do not change anything regarding His instructions. Be faithful to the Lord!
I have seen so much confusion among the called; they experience things they do not understand, failing to realize that these events are strategies of the enemy designed to stop and weaken them in the calling the Lord has placed upon them. Some give up and lose their focus. That is why it is vital to keep our eyes fixed on the Lord. Others have allowed themselves to be influenced by what they see in other people's ministries—by what others possess and the sheer size of their operations—to the point where they fail to remain faithful to the specific instructions the Lord has given them. Many men called by God have built their own kingdoms; read God's Word so that you are not deceived. A man may be highly charismatic, but there is a distinction between him and a true man of God—one who is spiritual and walks in accordance with his calling. We have seen many examples of individuals who were likely called by God but strayed because they pursued their own desires. What *they* want is vastly different from what the Lord desires for us. My dear brothers and sisters, those of us who have served under certain ministries have at times been deceived. We allowed our innocence to be exploited by men who claimed to be called by God, yet whose true aim was for us to fulfill *their* desires rather than our own callings. Therefore, let us—the truly called—edify Christ’s people with the truth of His Word.
Paul’s emphasis was on running his race to the very end. Our goal must be the same.
Remember: we will face persecution, difficult circumstances, adversity, and need, but none of these things should ever drive us away from doing the Lord’s will!
Let us seek the Kingdom of God and walk in righteousness. It is essential for every believer to walk in righteousness so that God can work on our behalf.
When we seek Him first, He will provide what we need, exactly when we need it. There may be a delay—not because the Lord has denied the request or is stalling, but often because the enemy interferes; yet this does not mean God has failed to provide. A delay is not a denial. That is why we must remain steadfast regarding our calling and the things He asks us to do for Him.
Today, the very ministers called to lead Christ’s people are failing to do so; they have led many astray by failing to feed them the truth. They speak empty words rather than the truth, failing to provide the necessary nourishment, leaving the body of Christ malnourished. Those who ought to be feeding the body are feeding themselves instead. Church, wake up—do not be deceived any longer! Seek to be nourished by the truth of His Word. Stop being lukewarm in your faith!
As ministers, our mandate is to edify the church and those the Lord has placed in our path; if we fail to do this as ambassadors of Christ, we are not strengthening His body. It is not merely about having a good sermon, a building, or a large congregation. A minister must feed his sheep; this is the Lord’s command to His chosen ones—to shepherd His flock. A minister filled with the Holy Spirit edifies the body of Christ; rivers of living water flow through us as we speak the truth and build up the body of Christ.
When we gather as a church, it is to praise the Lord, edify Christ’s church, and share in fellowship with one another. Remember that the church belongs to Christ, not to us. We are merely vessels used for His work. When we build up His church, we are equipping them for the work of the ministry—their calling! This is our mandate as ambassadors of the Lord. Speaking the truth is an act of love!
Therefore, we must speak the truth; wherever you are, ensure you are in a place where the truth is spoken—a place where you are edified to fulfill your calling.
As ministers, we are called to speak the truth; we are not called to entertain people just to make them feel good. There is plenty of entertainment in the world, and as ministers, we cannot bring the world into the church. We are called to build up His body; we are Christ’s people, born again to fulfill His purpose and do the will of the Lord who called us.
For this reason, we must stand firm in the calling the Lord has placed on our lives. When we are established in the truth, there is no room for false doctrine to enter our lives through the cunning of men or the schemes of deceitful plots. Let us build up the church of Christ with the truth. Ephesians 4:12–16.
Let our way of life prophesy, and when we speak, let us speak the truth without wavering, standing firm in the face of any persecution, adversity, need, opposition, or any other circumstance that arises.
To you who read this: I exhort you to understand the enemy's works and stand firm with the sword of the Spirit. The sword of the Spirit will not work in our lives unless we live it out. It is not enough to simply declare a scripture; we must live it! That is where the power lies for us as believers.
Paul found strength in the Lord, and we must do the same; that is why we have the Word as an example for our lives. We are in a spiritual war, and the only way to win and be victorious is in the Spirit. Do not let your guard down!
Ephesians 6:10-12 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.
