Someone send me this video which was used by Transport for London to raise awareness of cyclists on the street.

Now, bringing it to the spiritual side… what can this video teach us?

Would love to read your opinion on the comment section of this post.

Someone has just sent me this video and I want to share it with all of you.

Injustice made the monkey angry, but how about you? Does it make you also feel that way?

The Word of God says that righteousness and justice are the foundation of God’s throne…

However, God will not give you grapes one by one, but instead, He will give you the VISION of how to get out of the cage and get as many grapes as you want.

May God give you HIS VISION for your life.

God bless

So, today was the day we were all waiting for. I believe that those who surrendered all without reservations, had a great experience with the Holy Spirit just by coming on the altar with their vow.

Whether you were baptised with the Holy Spirit or today was the day you became special, we want to hear what this day brought and meant to you. Leave your comment in my blog because I believe your experience will help others who perhaps are close to the having their – OH WHAT A DAY.

Remember that these 21 days were the blueprint to show you how to live in spirit.

I look forward to reading all your comments.

Hello, bishop! Like most of the testimonies that you have posted, I also went through this.

I came to the Universal Church when I was 15 years old. I listened to punk rock and heavy metal. At the age of 13, I attempted suicide, and I would have tried again when my brother took me to church.

Oh, what a day!

From the first prayer to the last, I wept, as if I was reborn that day. It was no longer a cry without comfort or distress. I felt peace! A peace that I had never felt in my entire life. Consequence: I surrendered myself (body, soul and spirit).

I got home that day and threw away everything that linked me to the rock music. At first, my mother thought I was crazy, but she saw something in me that she had never seen before – a smile, a different kind of glow.

Then the fights started.

My father, who was a very hateful, violent and proud man, did not accept this change in me. I’ll even go as far as saying that I deeply hated him. I slept with a knife under my pillow to kill him because, since I was very small, I would see him be violent with my mother and brothers. But from that day forth, I no longer saw him the same way.

I knew that the same way that I saw a “light”, he would also see it. This was the only way that he would be become a new person.

With just one month of attending the church, I was baptized in the Holy Spirit, and my battles became even harder. He would hit my mother for covering up for me when I went to church.

Until, I was raised as an assistant. That is when he put me out of the house because he always threatened me and said he would rather see me on the corner like a prostitute, than see me in the Universal Church.

This did not bring me sadness; on the contrary, I told God that it was an honor to be “suffering” for his sake, a privilege! I couldn’t see my mother for about 2 years because my father ordered his “guards”, who were always armed, to kill me if I approached the house. These were difficult days.

I slept on the street for 15 days. As soon as the church opened, I went inside. I used the bathroom to change into the few clothes my brother snuck out of the house in a plastic bag. God opened the doors and I found people that were really generous and willing to help me. However, I never abandoned my faith, or stopped serving my Lord Jesus. It was 5 years of struggle, but I had a vow with God: the day my father stepped foot in the Church, he would never leave again.

Many things happen to him. Unfortunately, he had to reach the bottom of the pit to acknowledge God, but that is what happened!

My father became a beggar on the streets, eating garbage, had lice and a broken arm. I found him there and took a pair of pants and a shirt, which I consecrated in church, and my wedding invitation because God had blessed me with a man of God. And he, humiliated, without looking up, cried.

It didn’t even seem like that man who was proud, impudent, and everyone feared. It was very difficult to see him in that situation, but I didn’t let myself get too involved by my emotions, it was time to use my faith.

I asked him to come to my wedding and that I would leave clothes for him at my sister’s house, so that no one would steal them. And to my joy, on my wedding day, the first person I saw standing at the church door, with his head down, was my father!

Again I said, “OH, WHAT A DAY!”

I did not know whether to laugh or cry, because I knew that I had a vow with God, and that day would be the day that my father would be touched. Though he did not hear the preaching of salvation or receive a prayer for deliverance, God’s presence was there, and he would be touched like I was!

From that day on, my father accepted the Lord Jesus and started going to church. I joked around with him saying, “You’re too fanatic, humm Dad!” He laughed and said “Now I know why you left everything”.

I have been in the presence of this wonderful God for 28 years, and serve Him with all my strength on His altar. I believe that my father and my dear mother are enjoying the Eternal Life He promised.

Sorry for writing so much. I want to say thank you bishop. Thank you for enduring everything and teaching us to be fighters and persevering!

The difference between failure and success is in the extra mile.

This is the bit that very few people are willing to go, and that’s exactly what separates the profitable from the unprofitable.

The Word of God shows that the unprofitable servant is the one who does everything he is told to do. Profit means ‘gain’, and there’s no gain when you do all that is expected from you, right?

Now, the profitable servant is the one who surprises others. He is the one that brings the WOW factor to those around him. He is always willing to go the extra mile in order to make the difference, and to be honest, we don’t see many people like that, do we?

King David is an excellent example of a profitable servant. He decided to build a Temple to the Lord even tough God had not asked for it. Actually, God was surprised by David’s desire.

Solomon, David’s son, also surprised God when after offering one thousand burnt sacrifices to the Lord, he requested wisdom so he could take care of God’s people; and because of this kind of request, the Lord gave him more than he could ever imagine.

The poor widow gave her two coins when she could have offered only one and kept the other one to herself. At the end of the day, everyone would understand her, right?

The rich young ruler however, was an example of someone who was not willing to go that extra mile, and ended up losing the most precious thing one can have, which is eternal life.

As we prepare to go to top of Mount Hermon with the intention to become special in the eyes of God, make sure you GO THE EXTRA MILE with your sacrifice. This mile is the one that will make all the difference.

When you think you can’t go any further with your sacrifices, remember that there’s always that extra mile to go, and that’s the one that will make all the difference.

Watch this video and see how far you can really go when you are determined to achieve what you want.

Just a reminder! If those who go the extra mile are called profitable, and those who do just what is required are called unprofitable, how should we call those who don’t do even what is required from them?

I also met with a lovely lady who lives 1 and half hour from Newcastle who came to the service because she watched us on Finding Answers (Sky 203 and/or iurdtv.eu - Mon-Fri at 10.45pm)

May God bless you all!
