Talking to Holy Ghost - My Friend

Talking to Holy Ghost – My Friend
Do you talk to Holy Ghost as your Friend? Talking to Him, have you said, "Holy Spirit, I know You were sent here to live in the home of my heart, but I've been focused on so many other things that I haven't been a reliable friend to You. I haven't asked you to reveal the Son and show me His face. I haven't asked You, 'What are Your priorities for me today?' and expected an answer. I don't necessarily know Your voice the same way that I know the voice of my natural best friend."

Champions for the Cause of Christ Part 3

Champions for the Cause of Christ Part 3 Conclusion
In this final part of the series, we explore the incredible journey of John Wesley, a man God used to ignite a great revival. Wesley's story is one of humility, perseverance, and unwavering faith. From leading the Holy Club at Oxford to preaching over 40,000 sermons and riding 250,000 miles on horseback, Wesley's dedication to God's call was extraordinary. Despite rejection and challenges, he remained focused on God's vision, ultimately founding the Methodist movement, which now impacts millions worldwide.
 
Key takeaways from this message include the "5 C's" for living out your calling as a champion for the cause of Christ:
The Call – Recognizing God's purpose for your life.
The Courage – Facing trials with faith.
The Character – Cultivating humility and Christlike qualities.
The Covering – Submitting to spiritual leadership and accountability.
The Commentary – Letting your words and actions reflect your faith.
Wesley’s life reminds us that trials are part of our growth, and through them, we are called to champion the cause of Christ.

Champions for the Cause of Christ Part 2

Champions for the Cause of Christ Part 2.
Each of us lives to please the reason God made us—our destiny—as we grow in godly character. Are you serving God for what he can do for you, or are you serving him for what he can do through you? Allow the Holy Spirit to grow you in the pleasure of God and He will allow you to take responsibility. He trusts you, and you live it out.
True commitment to God means aligning our will with His, living righteously, and embracing both the blessings and challenges of faith. As 2 Corinthians 5:10 reminds us, we will all appear before Christ to account for our lives and receive rewards based on our deeds.
God’s call on your life isn’t just about character—it’s about commitment. Jesus said, "Take up your cross and follow me" (Matthew 16:24). This journey requires sacrifice, but it leads to eternal life and purpose. Are you serving God for what He can do for you, or for what He can do through you?
Historical faith leaders like John Wesley, who founded the Methodist Church in spite of rejection, and Richard Allen, who founded the African Methodist Church in spite of rejection, exemplified this commitment, overcoming rejection to fulfill their divine callings. Their legacy reminds us to walk not just where Jesus walked, but as He walked—living for His glory and championing His cause.
Stay faithful, stay committed, and let God’s purpose shine through you! 🙏✨

Champions for the Cause of Christ Part 1

Champions for the Cause of Christ Part 1.
"Are you living up to your full potential in Christ, or have you settled for less? In 'Champions for the Cause of Christ Part 1,' Bishop Boone explores what it means to move like God, not just experience moves of God. He wrote his book Dare to Hope after being inspired by Jeremiah's faith in the midst of struggles that he read about in Lamentations 3. He reminds us of great men of God like Richard Allen and John and Charles Wesley who rose above their circumstances and finished the race to fulfill the call of God on their lives. We still benefit from their victories today.
Becoming a champion for Christ doesn't come without challenges. It requires growth in both the call and character of God. Galatians 5 reminds us that the fruit of the Spirit—love, joy, peace, and more—isn't just about where we're headed but who we're becoming.
This is a season without excuses. Let God grow you into His divine purpose and step into the inheritance He’s prepared for you.
Are you ready to answer the call to grow into a champion for the cause of Christ?" Return tomorrow for Part 2.

Don't Curse the Dark. Become the Light

Don’t Curse the Dark. Become the Light. A challenge to serious Christians to rise up and represent Christ.
Jesus, the Son of Man, lived a life of sacrifice, humility, and unwavering devotion to God’s mission. Luke 9:58 says that He had "nowhere to lay His head," yet He fulfilled His divine purpose, showing us what a true man of God can accomplish. He is the one mediator between God and man (Hebrews 9:15, 1 Timothy 2:5), the perfect example of what it means to live for God’s will on Earth.
This is a call to serious Christians: stop being passive observers and rise up to represent Christ boldly in your life. History shows that devoted Christians—like John Jasper and William Wilberforce—have transformed societies, abolished injustices, and brought revival through their faith and action. Today, God is still moving, as seen in the revival among young people across universities like the Unite US Movement. But are you paying attention, or are you distracted by the noise of the world?
It’s time to stop cursing the darkness and start being the light. Be radical in your faith, even if it means facing criticism from lukewarm Christians or worldly skeptics. Stay focused on Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith (Hebrews 12:2). Your life is meant to reflect the reality of God and inspire others to divine devotion. Don’t settle for mediocrity—embrace your assignment to represent the Creator and make an eternal impact.
Matthew 1:18. Luke 9:58. 1 Timothy 2:5. Hebrews 9:15.

All Authority Means All Authority

All Authority Means All Authority.
Jesus' Authority: In Matthew 28:18, Jesus declares that all power in heaven and earth has been given to him. This authority is rooted in his divine nature, as highlighted in John 1:3, which states that all things were made through him, affirming Jesus as the Creator.
Connection to Genesis: The narrative ties Jesus to Genesis 1, where God creates the heavens and the earth. Jesus is presented as the visible manifestation of the invisible God, fulfilling the divine plan. Genesis 1:28 shows humanity's original mandate to oversee creation, which Jesus reaffirms in his Great Commission.
The Great Commission: Jesus delegates responsibility to his disciples in Matthew 28:19-20, instructing them to make disciples of all nations, baptize them, and teach them to obey his commands. This mirrors the original charge to Adam and Eve to be fruitful and have dominion over the earth.
Redemption and New Creation: Jesus, as the "last Adam," redeems humanity from the failure of the first Adam (Genesis 3). Through his sacrifice, he enables humanity to be "born again" and participate in the new creation, extending God's kingdom on earth and in heaven.
Generational Mission: The disciples' faithfulness to this mission has led to a generational transfer of godliness, spreading the gospel globally for over 2,000 years. This mission unites all people, as Acts 17:26 reminds us that all nations are made of one blood.
The overarching message is that Jesus' authority, creation, and redemption empower believers to fulfill their divine assignment, living for God and advancing his kingdom.
Genesis 1:1; 1:28; 3. Matthew 28:18-19. John 1:3-4. Acts 10:38; 17:26. Romans 8:13. 1 Corinthians 6:19; 15:45.

The Excuseless Dimension

The Excuseless Dimension.
This is an excuseless season when Christians move beyond "doing" and focus on "producing"—not just in material terms, but in eternal, Kingdom-centered ways. Become a disciple who not only follows Christ but also disciples others. We have Bibles, phones, social media, and Zoom, so we have no excuse not to use our gifts, voices, and influence to make an eternal impact. We can pray, share the Gospel, and disciple new believers.
Don't you want to leave something here other than natural things when you're not around? I'm not talking about your biological family members and children and that kind of thing. I'm talking about people whose lives you impacted who not only got saved but were discipled into ministry.
Amazing evangelism and crowd baptisms have started occurring among college students, and these people will need committed Christians to love them and teach them how to be a disciple. Jesus' disciples were disciplined, obedient, and ready when Jesus called them. After His resurrection, they were in the right place, both physically and spiritually, to fulfill divine assignments. People worship God to the degree that they see God. "Then the eleven disciples left for Galilee, going to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. When they saw him, they worshiped him—but some of them doubted!" (Matthew 28:16-17 NLT).
Christians need the same disciplines today as they did in Jesus’ day so don’t become irrelevant and lose the world.
• Where are you in the Word?
• How often are you in the Word?
• How much Word do you put into you daily?
• Where are you in prayer?
• Where are you in your giving?
• Do you honor leadership? Submission brings you under the destiny of God.
Be intentional —not for what you can get but for what you can give away. Acts 20:35 NLT says, "You should remember the words of the Lord Jesus: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.'"
The spiritual health of the world depends on you. Can you be trusted to carry out assignments? Will you seek fellowship with other strong disciples to sharpen your faith?
We don’t need excuses. We are the disciples, the disciplined ones. We can step into our God-given destiny and ignite change. We are a catalyst for revival and transformation.
Isaiah 58; 61. Matthew 28:16-20. Acts 20:35. Galatians 5:22-24.

John Jasper, Slave Preacher

John Jasper, Slave Preacher. Whites in Richmond, Virginia, loved this slave preacher even when he preached funerals where he refused to eulogize sinners and send them to heaven. The Rev. John Jasper was a famous Black preacher who had such power over the fear of death that his reputation for great preaching began when he was converted at age 25, while still a slave. When Emancipation came, he was 50 years old, and from then until his death at 89 he was the most popular preacher in Richmond. He was best known for a message called “De Sun Do Move.” --Bishop Wellington Boone
