  All quotations are from King James Version of the Bible. Mark 8:36  For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Words of Jesus Christ, [KJV] Any religion or ideology that does not advocate simplicity should be shunned by all. Most of man’s problems are tied to his inordinate desires for wealth, fame and power. We see it every day; we hear it every day.  Greed screams at us and literally slap our faces if we dare to disobey it desires. The human race can well be defined as a creature that is inbuilt with covetousness, greed and avarice. Man’s insatiable pursuit of wealth is like a mirage that you can never catch. It is amazing that most religions that I have studied encourage a simple way of living, yet most adherents cherish an ostentatious way of living. But the question should be asked: why greed, covetousness and avarice are a way of life rather than simplicity? Here is the word of Christ;  Matthew 19:24  and aga...

  Psalms 126:1,  A Song of degrees. When the LORD turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream. [KJV] It was October 31, 2025, and the Tweet on “Truth Social” that hit like a tornado goes like this: “Christianity is facing an existential threat in Nigeria. Thousands of Christians are being killed. Radical Islamists are responsible for this mass slaughter. I am hereby making Nigeria a “COUNTRY OF PARTICULAR CONCERN.” — But that is the least of it. When Christians, or any such group, is slaughtered like is happening in Nigeria (3,100 versus 4,476 worldwide), something must be done. I am asking Congressman Riley Moore, together with Chairman Tom Cole, and the House Appropriations Committee, to immediately look into this matter, and report back to me. The United States cannot stand by while such atrocities are happening in Nigeria, and numerous other countries. We stand ready, willing, and able to save our Great Christian population around the world.” — DONALD ...

  Genesis 1:2-3  And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness   was   upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. God spoke his desire into the world he created. There was something missing, so God spoke what was missing into reality. The presence of another thing was depriving God’s desire of coming into reality- Light was absent because darkness was there. Thereofre, God spoke his words.  Psalms 90:2  Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou  art  God. God formed the world with His spoken word. God never doubted His words because He is omniscient and omnipotent. Today, 2026 lies before us, void and empty, waiting for you to speak the words of faith into it. 2026, awaits us to speak our desire into it like a farmer plants his desired seed into the gro...

  Matthew 16:15-18. He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not Revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.The church is the body of christ, and HE is the head of that body. Every creature has eyes near its head. Iesus Christ is the head and the eyes, and therefore, HE it is that gives the church wherein Jesus is the author and finisher shall base its continuity on revelations from the Holy spirit which He promised and indeed, happened on the day of Pentecost. We can deduce, therefore, from this statement that the church shall experience firstly opposition and secondly there is a continuity of the church despite the persecutions it will face. Thi...

  Psalms 51:11   Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me.[kjv] King David had the honor of being the first person to make known to us the intention of the Godhead to send the Holy Spirit to dwell within us in a permanent state, which was fulfilled after the resurrection of Christ . This was only revealed to King David. This eventually took place at the cross of calvary where the price for your sin and mine was paid.  Romans 6:23 says,  For the wages of sin  is  death; but the gift of God  is  eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord . And the triumphant resurrection of the Lord had occurred. The Holy Spirit was a promise made to the believers by Christ in the book of  Luke 24:49   And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you:  but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem , until ye be endued with power from on high . It was a priceless honor given to all who believe in the Lord Jesus Christ....

  With upheavals here and there, with many Christians expressing frustration with their government, some view these outright expressions of opinions as ‘getting involve; in politics, which they think contradicts the position of Christ when in said, ‘ John 8:23   And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world. And Paul’s admonition in the book of  Colossians 3:1   If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.[KJV] Today, Sapphire Strokes feels a sense of fulfilment to extract and publish the opinion of a respected evangelist in the world who holds sway all over the world with signs and wonders following, yet, without being loud.
