Three months ago, one of the mighty men of the word, whom the Lord used in the late 80s to Mid-90s to impact my life, was informed about our relocating to Nairobi, Kenya. Repositioning😂

A day before our departure, he wanted to send some money to contribute to our trip, but I told him not to bother even though we needed money. I thanked him from the bottom of my heart and pleaded with him not to send me money. 

Why?

Listen, there are things not written in the Bible word verbatim, but as you walk with the Lord, one of the marks of spiritual and mental growth is knowing how the kingdom of God functions.

That is what Christ meant when He said in Matthew 6:33 that we should seek the kingdom of God and His righteousness first.

Seeking first the kingdom is not about being so preoccupied with church activities but seeking the understanding of the operative dynamics of the kingdom.

Get this👇👇

In the kingdom, money is less valuable than heavenly blessings of any sort, while in the world's system, money is the god.

It is possible to be a believer for years while still operating with the world's Mentality.

What does it mean to operate with the world's mindset?

It is simply by changing the order to 👉 looking at money as a greater value than a divine blessing—the Esua mindset.

Those with the above mindset don't think of anything greater than money. Money is the measurement of value to them.😭😭😭

They are prepared to forfeit an opportunity for divine blessing rather than lose money. When money leaves their hands, not for something that can bring more money, it is to them like losing blood. 😄

Let's get back to the focus.
Why didn't I happily reach out to receive money from the said man of God?

Get this right; I'm not saying it is wrong for a man of God to bless those they have impacted with money. However, when you understand kingdom value, the last thing you would desire to receive from a man endowed by God is money. 🤔🤔One with an un-renewed mind can not comprehend this because, in the world, money is the god.

That is why when Abraham met Melchizedekdek, he did not look into his purse 👛 to see what money he could receive. I can tell you by the understanding of the divine that if Melchizedek gave Abraham money, he would have rejected it.

Why?

When you understand kingdom values, you can't meet a Melchizedek and be thinking about receiving money from him. Money can get finished, but a divine endowment can impact one's time and beyond.

Some men and women who were once rich are currently poor. Money does not last forever, but a heavenly endowment can have a generational impact on one's life and beyond. So, instead of Abraham settling for something physical from Melchizedek, he went for his blessing.

That separates the kingdom's giants from those who end up as midgets. Hear me and hear me well! If you don't grasp this, you can't go far.

What is your value system? Is it borrowed from the world?

Instead of taking money from Melchizedek, Abraham gave him a tenth of everything he had.

Why?
The answer is in Hebrew 7:7. "And without all contradiction, the less is blessed of, the better."  In Kingdom-Dynamics, a person that blesses is greater than he that receives a blessing. It isn't the other way around.

Get this in your subconscious mind.
👇👇👇
When you think men and women God has endowed to be gateways via which heavenly blessings are released to a generation would worship you because of a few $$$$ you have in your bank account, you are ignorant. Without the above understanding, someone can dry their stomach for a 28-40 days fast and still not experience a breakthrough.

Do you know what is killing this generation?

It is spiritual ignorance, not Satan. God brings people our way whose impact can leave us with generational blessings, but because of our flawed value system, we treat them like trash because of the little money we have in our bank accounts. The result is God leaves us with money as our only achievement, and when we leave the earth, we go with our memory; and are bankrupt for eternity.

I want to ask us, what if all Abraham ever had was money? 👉 His memory would have perished like some rich men in his days whom no one remembers today. Abraham lived over 4000 years ago but is more famous today than most legends. What could be responsible for that? 👉The right Perspective. Proper value system. Kingdom mindset.

You can know people whose legacy will outlive them and those who would only acquire the material things of this life, and when they exit, a few years in the future, even their great, great, grandchildren will be borderless about their memory.

Today, a young man starts doing well in business; he becomes more important than God. You can't tell him anything. You can't tell him to stand, and he stands. 😄

A young pastor gathers 100 People and gets a few $$$ he starts seeing himself as Alpha, and men/women they should still humbly learn from become their colleagues.

Tomorrow is Sunday, and those with money will go to church when they want and close themselves at their chosen time. After all, they have money.😭😭

When God opens your eyes, there are things when you see; you will weep. Those with such a mindset don't know what is designed for their peace. Remember, Christ wept for Jerusalem because they didn't know the time of their visitation. The one the Prophets of old foretold was in their midst, but they could not perceive.

Why?

They expected a messiah who could fulfil their political, social, and economic aspirations. What they set as their parameters made them miss one of the glorious times their forefathers desired to see.

What is greater in your eyes; the blessing or money?

To Elisha, it was a blessing, but to Gehazi, it was money.

Elisha went home with a double portion of anointing, but Gehazi went with Leprosy.

Two people, same opportunity but different destinies. What made the difference?

👉 Mentality. Value system, Perspective.

I declined the offer of the said man of God because I wanted what was beyond money.

As the Lord helps me, I look forward to blessing his ministry with whatever the Lord provides as long as he is alive, but I will not take a dime from him.

I still have much to share on this!

Ponder!

You can't change from an attitude you justify, and what you accept will live with you for the rest of your life.

Dear kingdom Ambassadors, ladies and gentlemen, A Happy New Month to you from the GFC Visionary, Dr Benard Etta and his lovely wife, Luminary Helen Etta and to all of us at the Global Faith Coalition communication department!

We Praise the Almighty God for bringing us to March, the third month of the year of our Lord 2023, a month to march forward in our preparedness for the forthcoming GFC 2023 World Congress-Nairobi Kenya, scheduled for August 22nd to 26th on the theme, the Repositioning of the 21st-century Church.

The Church is in dire need of Repositioning. The Repositioning Mandate is critical to the final move of God on earth before the return of the Lord. Christ is not coming "for the Church we see" but for a glorious church, properly repositioned, fulfilling Christ's dream of a church against which the gates of hell can't prevail.

A church that can subdue kingdoms, wrought righteousness, and turn the hearts of the men and women of this age back to God! The time for "that Church" to emerge on the earth is now.

That's the mission bringing together Gospel Ministers, Kingdom Businesspeople, Christian professionals, Luminaries, kingdom technocrats, Strategists, Visionaries, Missionaries, Intercessors, and emerging leaders of all walks of life and Christian denominations from 30-plus nations to the Catholic University of East Africa Nairobi Kenya, August 22nd to the 26th for the GFC 2023 World Congress.

Workshop Topics Include:

1) Contending for the faith.
2) The centrality and headship of Christ.
3) Repositioning the fivefold ministry and the ministry of the saints in the marketplace.
4) The purpose-driven church.
5) Repositioning the Church post the covid pandemic and lessons from the pandemic for any future pandemic.
6) The challenge of World Missions.
7) Smart Churches.
8) Ministry partnership and Networking.
9) Understanding the last days' deception.
10) The Spiritual Warfare strategies for conquering Cities and nations for Christ.
11) Kingdom Economics.
12) Forging a Global Coalition for the last days' engagements.

The congress will be held at the ultra-modern auditorium of the Catholic University of East Africa, Nairobi, Kenya.
God is building a people of Power and wisdom who will walk through the Land by his Spirit to bring glory to his precious name.

If your heart is panting after this Next and Last Kingdom revolution before Christ returns, register and be a part of the next big thing in God's mind—the Repositioning of the 21st-century Church.

Let's Go To Nairobi, Kenya, To receive the Repositioning Mandate and take it to our nations. Get Ready! Get Ready! Spread the word! Register this month! You Don't want to miss it!

The GFC Visionary Dr Benard Etta, his lovely wife, Luminary Helen Etta, and all of us at the Global Faith Coalition communication department wish you all God's continuous blessings this new month. As the Lord lives, you will surely make it to Nairobi, Kenya.

Within our churches, Satan seems to be the real enemy of the kingdom, and we spend so much time fighting him. However, when you get into the field, you’ll discover that it isn't Satan but our disorder, egotism, greed and self-seeking ministry mindset.

Satan seems to have stopped fighting us in several quarters but merely watching us destroy ourselves. For instance, when you arrive in most places today with a vision and burden for a strategic kingdom engagement, the first question you will be asked by those you thought would make themselves available is 👉How much money have you brought?👈

The question about money isn't because of the need for adequate finance to realise the vision but what individuals could line their pockets with. So, once a big event is in view, people start salivating for money. 😭😭😭 If you aren't sharing money like Reinhard Bonnke of blessed memory for mobilisation, then be ready to work out your life to get the job done with few volunteers.

Brethren, Satan isn't our problem but our greed, egotism and self-seeking ministry mindset. Some years back, people were more excited about being a part of what God was doing, not necessarily what they could take for themselves. If you find such people, thank God for them because they are rare.

The American dollar has made it hard to get things done in most places. They will tell you how much they got from a recent program organised by an American preacher, and if you can't meet up, they will promise to show up and dash your hope when you need them most. 😭😭😭

Despite these challenges, the kingdom of God will continue to thrive, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against the true remnant church of Jesus Christ.

The voice of God is still sounding. 👇👇 "Whom should I send as a messenger to these people? Who will go for us?" I said, "Here I am. Send me."

Isaiah 6:8 (NLT)

Genesis 26:18, KJV: And Isaac digged again the wells of water, which they had digged in the days of Abraham his father; for the Philistines had stopped them after the death of Abraham: and he called their names after the names by which his father had called them.

(Is It 31st-Night Crossover Or "Overcross?"

1 Corinthians 9:16

"For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of for necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel!" 

Preaching the Gospel to them (Gospel Giants) was not something to attract attention, likeability, or become wealthy and famous but of necessity. They stayed faithful to their calling and counted it worthy to bear the reproach of Christ. They were in the world but not of the world. They lived for higher goals. Heavenly kingdom goals. Human accolades were not their pursuits but the crown of" Well done my good and faithful servant" from the master, Christ Jesus, who is the Gospel personified.

Today, the term gospel giant has been mistaken for individuals who travel from nation to nation, raising hundreds of thousands of dollars as they go, aimed at sponsoring their propaganda, egoistic projects, vanity fares, fantasies, and payoff their numerous sex partners and bloggers to cover their tracts.

When real gospel giants stormed cities and nations, hardened criminals known by all, prostitutes, gamblers and others etc., bowed at the feet of the cross seeking salvation. Backslidden ministers and churches got revived, and a feeling of God's visitation was in the city's atmosphere as people celebrated their freedom from sin and other bondages, etc.

Today, gospel campaigns have become podiums for hypnotism, manipulation and self-branding. 😭😭😭 Heaven is in shock as the pioneers of faith gaze with utmost bewilderment at what we have turned the Gospel into today.

The Gospel of the kingdom can accomplish in a day what political leaders, educators, and philanthropic organisations can't do in years. History bears record of the impact of the Gospel via the ministries of gospel giants like Charles Finney, D L Moody, Savanirola, The Jeffrey brothers, Reinhard Bonnke, Arch-Bishop Benson Idahosa, John Wesley, Lester Sumrall, T L Osbon, Osward J Smith, etc., etc.

Has the Gospel lost Its Power?

No, the Gospel is still the power of God for salvation. The problem is with today's vessels. We have turned the Gospel into Big Business, showmanship, and a way of gaining fame and other trivialities. Churches are everywhere, but the darkness seems to get darker. We preached for many reasons other than the sole aim of the Gospel, which is to align fallen humanity with God in relational order.

Is there hope?

A Big, Yes! That's the reason for the GFC 2023 World Congress, scheduled for the 16th-19th of August in Nairobi, Kenya, with the theme. The Repositioning of the church. We hope to reclaim the Gospel and inspire a new generation of Apostle Pauls to preach it because" necessity is laid on them" to preach and faithfully teach the Gospel of the kingdom."

Woe is me if I preach not the Gospel." Paul

So, help us, God!

Dr Benard Etta, GFC Visionary

My dear emerging Gospel ministers, please listen. Putting on Clerical titles, apparel, or Bishopric attires does not indicate ministry Grace, spiritual status, ministry requirement, etc.

I know I just smashed the” brazen serpent.” I'm not talking to elderly kingdom statesmen and women but to the emerging generation of ministers.

One of the indicators that a once-upon-a-time revival movement is in decline is when the craving for recognition, attention, position and self-seeking becomes paramount. Sadly, that's how things have degenerated today, especially within the Pentecostal and Charismatic movements.

"Beware of these teachers of religious law! For they like to parade around in flowing robes and love to receive respectful greetings as they walk in the marketplaces. And how they love the seats of honour in the synagogues and the head table at banquets. Yet they shamelessly cheat widows out of their property and then pretend to be pious by making long prayers in public. Because of this, they will be severely punished." Luke 20:46-47 (NLT)👈

 

The obsession for bishopric ordinations today among the emerging generation isn't only a gross distraction from the mission before us but a mark of religious insanity.

 

How can one help emerging leaders who move with flowing bishopric apparel, thinking they are some great Apostles? Even God finds it hard to reach such because of the large ego, false self-image, pride and self-deceptive world they live in.

 

Let today’s emerging generation of gospel ministries focus on doing the work of the ministry and leave the craving for bishopric titles and apparel. 👉It is Saul’s armour. 👈

 

If you are obsessed with ”joining the club,” you need prayers. It is time to give back to Catholic and Anglican Churches what belongs to them. It is their thing.

 

Young men still looking for rent for their church houses are busy raising money for ordination as Apostles and Bishops. They also want to put on bishopric and apostolic titles and apparel to look like spiritual fathers. An apostle who hasn’t subdued a street; talk less of a quarter.

 

Let’s stop this nonsense. Satan is laughing at us😭😭😭Pentecostals, we have lost the vision of our calling and chasing trivialities.

 

We are creating man-made religious hierarchies over nations with zero divine mandate. We now have so-called Double Apostles and Bishops, and we won’t be surprised to see the first batch of Pentecostal Popes. 😭😭😭😭

 

In some places I visit, I seldom introduce myself as a gospel minister because of the shame associated with the ministry today. The once noble office of the kingdom ambassador-ship has been hijacked and disgraced daily.

 

Brethren, we have work to do that demands more than paddling around looking like the Pharisees and Sadducees of the days of Christ.

 

If you think it isn't a problem, then you are a part of the problem.

 

Nairobi, Kenya 2023 is Loading. We need a Repositioning of the Church.

 

Help us, God!

Ephesians 4:13

Till we all come in the Unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ.

There is what the Bible calls the Unity of the faith that connects past, present, and future generations of saints. It embodies the understanding of the fundamentals of the kingdom of God, God's ways and the operation of his kingdom. His will on earth as it is in heaven and much more enshrined in the Holy scripture. The saints throughout history have forged a common bond along these lines.

Psalms 16:6

The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.

If we believe in one God and one mediator between God and men (1 Tm 2.5), one divine plan of salvation (Eph 1.3–14), one Church, and one apostolic authority (Mt 16.13–19; 18.18; 28.19–20), the absolute authority of the written word on all matters of the faith, we'll lay the foundation of the Unity of the faith in our walk with God.

Sadly, we are seeing a generation of believers and gospel ministers today who aren't aware of the Unity of the faith, while some are outrightly nonchalant. That is why their opinions to them are revelations, even when they are not aligned with the scriptures. They have unconsciously bought the lie of the liberal world that everyone has their truth. "My truth may not be your truth." That implies no absolute truth exists that sets the standard for right and wrong, and everyone must decide what truth is and isn't. So, when you try to correct their teachings on the authority of God's word, they will tell you it is their truth.

Remember, God's word is the absolute authority on matters of faith (2 Peter 1:19); if a person claims to be a believer or gospel minister and doesn't accept the absolute authority of the word, they are already in error. And the error will only multiply as they try to make their opinions the truth.

2 Timothy 3:16

All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

You are on your own when your life and ministry go contrary to the line, path, and bond of faith that unites the saints throughout history. Some people may not be forthright in telling you this, but by God's grace, I'm telling you now. You may think it is your revelation or whatever you call it; listen, you are on your own.

Proverbs 22:28

Remove not the ancient landmark, Which thy fathers have set.

The kingdom of God is not the democratic party of America that keeps shifting its boundaries to accommodate every liberal ideology out there and its sympathisers.

The written word of God is the constitution of the kingdom of God on earth, and its authority is absolute because the authority of its author is absolute. If your teachings do not align with it, you are preaching another gospel!

Galatians 1: 6-9

I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.

May the Lord grant us understanding.

Read and meditate on the messages to the churches Revelations 2 & 3. They were written by and under GRACE. Still, there were forthright, not sugarcoated, as our present-day purported grace messages. Who lied to us?

God used the seven churches in Asia Minor, present-day Turkey, as platforms to deliver timeless messages to the churches throughout the church age.

"Anyone with ears to hear must listen to the Spirit and understand what he is saying to the churches."

Revelation 3:22 (NLT)

Every serious believer and minister should read and meditate on the letters to the churches as recorded in Revelation 2&3 and ask God for ears to hear what the Spirit is saying to us even today.

The only thing holding us back and preventing us from seeing how ”Laodicean” we have become is our pride in our physical and material achievements. Like the church in Laodicea, we consider ourselves the most successful church of the church age because of our wealth and physical achievements, but the Lord is saying 👉we are poor, miserable, blind, and naked.

But do we see our actual condition? 👈

If we seek the Lord to anoint our eyes to see, our so-called Jericho must fall meetings, and ”operation kill every Herod will be replaced with solemn assemblies for repentance and reconsecration of our lives to the one who is Holy and True.

👇👇👇👇
Revelation 3:17-19
You say, `I am rich. I have everything I want. I don't need a thing!' And you don't realise that you are wretched and poor and blind and naked. So I advise you to buy gold from me—gold that has been purified by fire. Then you will be rich buy white garments from me so you will not be shamed by your nakedness, and ointment for your eyes so you can see. I correct and discipline everyone I love. So be diligent and turn from your indifference.

Revelation 3:17-19 (NLT)

May the Lord help us!

(Read the meditate on the text & Ponder on the brief writeup below the text) 👇👇

Ephesians 4:11-14

👉Now, these are the gifts Christ gave to the church: the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, and the pastors and teachers.

👉Their responsibility is to equip God's people to do his work and build up the church, the body of Christ.

👉This will continue until we all come to such unity in our faith and knowledge of God's Son that we will be mature in the Lord, measuring up to the full and complete standard of Christ.

👉Then we will no longer be immature like children. We won't be tossed and blown about by every wind of new teaching. We will not be influenced when people try to trick us with lies so clever they sound like the truth.

Ephesians 4:11-14 (NLT) -------------------------------------

These days, standing before a crowd or those we have gathered seems to be the breakthrough and not what they become afterwards. The chief aims of ministry have nothing to do with merely gathering people but with who and what they become through our ministry. Let this sink!

Gathering people in an era marked by gullibility can't be an achievement. People gather daily to watch their favourite comedians, musicians, and others. In ministry, we are not called to make a name by the people we gather but by fulfilling Ephesians 4:11-14.

How many men and women showcasing themselves as kingdom ministers are fulfilling the chief aims of ministry? If we were good at it as expected, we wouldn't have been dealing with the mob of church folks today who are easily deceived by anyone with a new ideology, charismatic display or interpretation of Scripture.

People can start churches today by looking at a person and describing their home or family members and what they ate before attending a meeting. Guess those who rush and submit under them! Some purported pastors. We are in trouble, brethren, but there is a solution. It is an aggressive repositioning of the fivefold ministry campaign.

We should not ignore the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine. It has the potential to transform the world we know into Something else. Let's read the handwriting on the wall and do the needful.

Most of us are pondering if the war between Russia and Ukraine may result in a Nuclear exchange between Russia and NATO. Yes, it seems more likely than when the war started.

We sometimes dismiss the thought of a nuclear war or others because we believe our prayers can prevent them. Yes, prayers can change things, but not everything. Ukrainians prayed and believed that the war would not occur, but it is ongoing and has lasted for several months.

Why?
Let me share a few reasons from a kingdom perspective.

1) A world that has turned its back on God can't enjoy absolute peace and stability. That is why Christ admonished us not to lay our treasures on earth. Matthew 6:19–20

Do you think people care despite the above word of wisdom from Christ? If most believers who read the Bible don't care much about its instruction these days, what of worldly people?

2) The second reason why sometimes, despite our prayers, such evils still occur is that we often pray for peace and safety to keep chasing our goals and not the purpose of God. Especially in today's world, most of God's people only give Him lips service. They seek God when they want his protection and other breakthroughs but are careless about His agenda, talkless of positioning themselves as partners with God to actualise His plans on earth. That is why we pray at times without prevailing. 

Before the war, Ukraine had more churches and believers than any European country. The question is, did they bother to go all over Europe to spread the word? Well, now they are doing just that because the war has forced them to flee from their comfort zones. 

It is sad but true that most people only think about God when their comfort, life and others are at stake. 

What the people of Ukraine spent their lifetime building is now turned into rubbles. Once thriving cities and tourist destinations are now ghost towns. 

When we watch the images from Ukraine, do we learn anything? 

Today, it is Russia and Ukraine; who knows where next? What if the present war spiral into a third world war?

 We aren't talking about the bombs used against Hiroshima and Nagasaki (Japan) by the United States army during the Second World War but bombs capable of wiping out half of the world's population. 

At times I feel like Abraham when he was interceding for Sodom, hoping that the Lord would find ten righteous men but sadly, there weren't. Sodom's people were obsessed with sexual pleasure and experiments like today. 

If the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine doesn't graduate into a nuclear exchange, then that means God, in His infinite mercy, gave humanity a bit more time. However, if God was to consider the state of the world and the church, the apocalypse would be here! We pray for His mercy! 

Put yourself in God's shoes, and you will sense the pain of his betrayal after sending his only son to die for humanity; still, people have deliberately turned their backs on Him. Worst still, his people have abandoned his ways and are prostituting themselves with all forms of worldly vanities and idols. 

Brethren, let's hope for the best, but while doing so, we should proactively engage in learning how to live in the world during a third world war between the world's nuclear powers! 

Hosea 10:12

Sow for yourselves righteousness; Reap in mercy; Break up your fallow ground, For it is time to seek the LORD, Till He comes and rains righteousness on you.

READ & PONDER👇👇

Revelation 2:12-17 (NLT)

Write this letter to the angel of the church in Pergamum. This is the message from the one with the sharp two-edged sword: "I know you live in the city where Satan has his throne, yet you have remained loyal to me. You refused to deny me even when Antipas, my faithful witness, was martyred among you there in Satan's city.

👇👇👇

"But I have a few complaints against you. You tolerate some among you whose teaching is like that of Balaam, who showed Balak how to trip up the people of Israel. He taught them to sin by eating food offered to idols and committing sexual sins. In a similar way, you have some Nicolaitans among you who follow the same teaching.

👇👇👇

Repent of your sin, or I will come to you suddenly and fight against them with the sword of my mouth.

👇👇👇👇

"Anyone with ears to hear must listen to the Spirit and understand what he is saying to the churches. To everyone who is victorious I will give some of the manna that has been hidden away in heaven. And I will give to each one a white stone, and on the stone will be engraved a new name that no one understands except the one who receives it. Revelation 2:12-17 (NLT)

👇👇👇👇

Christ commended the Church in Pergamum for their Loyalty to Him but rebuked their lack of forthrightness against the False teachings promoted by some in the church. Isn't that one of the spiritual plagues of our times? Today, being closed-lip against false teachings and their propagators is, to some, the act of minding their business.

It is understandable. Today's culture has forced many Christian leaders to teach the word as if they must apologise for what the scripture says. In trying to be relevant, we are gradually embracing unbiblical shifting paradigms. We don't want to be cancelled by the Left or lose the financial support of those within our churches who hold the teachings of Balaam and Nicolaitans. We don't want to rock the boat! We want to be seen as nice, but that has placed Christ and us on a collision course.

When the true gospel of Christ and the message of the kingdom is properly preached and taught, some people will be Glad; others will be Sad or Mad. It isn't our role to make it acceptable, but the Spirit that convicts. John 16:8

There are doctrines, belief systems and others which aren't compatible with our faith, and it is time we become forthright when declaring the whole counsel of God! The gospel of inclusivity and universality that remove ancient landmarks is anti-Christian, and we must speak against it.

God loves all, but we must come to Him through Christ to be saved. That involves embracing the life and teachings of Christ and being established on the foundation of the Apostles and Prophets, and Christ the chief cornerstone. Ephesians 2:20. Help, Lord! Revelation 2:12-17 (NLT)
