Getting Sick and Tired of the Situation

Sometimes getting out an undesirable situation necessitates us to get tired of that situation. There are people who always have all kinds of reasons to justify their continued stay in certain situations and why those cant change, but if we are to come out those situations, it needs us to cooperate with God and it is you, yourself to declare that destiny upon your life. It is you to proclaim that dream and get your life out of that situation. The power of life and death lies in your tongue, declare an end to that situation with your tongue.
This new season is about getting up and shedding off the dust of the old season, it’s time to press on and leave the past behind you. Get sick and tired of that situation

The Secret of defeating the Enemy once and for all

The devil is the most powerless enemy that anyone can ever have an encounter with. But weak as he is, this enemy has kingdom which he has to build and he is very sure that he cannot bank on his weakness to build his kingdom. We all know the sole purpose of the devil's kingdom is to steal, kill and destroy but in his powerlessness, he can never ever attain his goal.
The devil uses those with power to attain his goal and since God gave us power over the enemy, it is we with the power that the devil tricks into doing things that promote his kingdom.
The enemy creates situations in our lives that force us to do things that only promote his kingdom. He uses tools like anger, envy, depression and above all discouragement. Once he gets those with power in those moods, then they can do anything that he desires for his kingdom.

Brethren, the bible warns us to be alert and sober minded against the devil's scheme. We already know that this enemy is very powerless and weak and once we discern what he is plotting in his schemes, his kingdom is as good as defeated forever.

God's Message of Love in the New Season

God created each and every one with a special feeling of love. Irrespective of who we are, what we do, where we live,how old we are,everyone longs to be loved, cared for and be treated in a special way at least by someone or those around us. Right from the beginning God‘s relationship with US has been one that is strictly grounded on love. For love’s sake He created us,gave Us everything that He owns in the universe, and trusted Us to lord over all the creation. Even as we sinned and betrayed Him, for love's sake He went ahead and offered a hefty ransom to redeem Us. All kinds of trials and harsh realities life sometimes make us forget about this unending love that Our creator has had for us for all these generations but today God is reminding us that His love is unending. Irrespective of the circumstances around US,. The same loving God of yesterday is the same today, tomorrow and forever. In this new Season, God is reminding us that He has not changed, He Loves you.

Celebrating the New Season-Rosh Hashana 2013

This new season marks the most significant time of the year not only on the Jewish calendar but in the lives of all believers across the globe. It is a key moment, a time to reflect on past mistakes and resolve in front of God to not repeat them in the coming year, It is a time for repentance, and forgiveness in the eyes of God, a time to cleanse our souls and a new chance to start afresh with an unburdened conscience throughout the rest of the year.

It was a moment to remember as each and every believer at the Integrity Life Church took that conscious step to look deep inside their personal lives and made amends with God. It was a fire filled atmosphere as members of the congregation spoke blessings to one another, wished one another a prosperous new season that is full of holiness, fruitfulness, purity and love. All old contracts were cancelled, bitter experiences of the old season nullified and a sweet new season was announced. A holy communion was conducted to usher in this new season of blessings and the icing of the cake was the blowing of the shofar 100 times to stir up the souls of the believers and to awaken their spirits to God’s presence throughout this new season.

Put off that Christian Mask

We are called to live a life of righteousness but the kind of righteousness that modern Christians have chosen to live leaves a lot to be desired. In a desperate attempt to imitate Jesus, Christians have ended up doing exactly the opposite of what Jesus teaches us to do by showing contempt for  those who are perceived to be sinners, judging those who error in their spiritual walks, and embarrassing those who are nabbed in sin. Modern Christians are too righteous to the extent that they even do not remember to think about their weaknesses. They move around with "Christ like" "holy" and "reverent images" which on the surface show that everything is right in their lives.

But as Ms Angela Semwogerere shares in this inspirational message, this is not the kind of life that Jesus Christ called us to live. We must put off all the Christian masks that we have put on and live the true life of righteousness that we are called to live.

The Power to Control Destiny Lies in the Tongue

Our fate and destiny entirely lies in the power of the words that we profess and speak. The very words that we speak have the power to determine the destiny of nations either in the wrong way or the right way. Words can bring peace just like they can bring about catastrophes. We have witnessed nations crumble just because of bad reports, the Israelites were on the brink of possessing the promised land but just because of a bad report they missed out. In this new season we ought to watch out for the words we speak upon situations, upon our nations, and upon ourselves because what we speak has the power to determine our destiny.
In this Message Dr Joseph Okia encourages Us to celebrate the blessings that the new season has brought and be ready to possess the promised land that God destined Us for and to always desist from believing in bad reports.Be blessed as you listen.

Consecrating Your Tongue

Come to think about the words that you speak. Are they words that create life or they are words that destroy? The most special body part that God ever created on man is the tongue. The bible talks of the power of life and death being in this simple organ-the tongue. Just imagine,the power of everything on earth(your life, children, businesses, nations, governments, dreams) all lies in the tongue. In this message we are challenged and taught how to tame the this special body part and use it to achieve God's intended purpose for the world around us.
