It gives me great joy to write you and to hear from you as well. How are you? Hope you've treated the year great so far? My family and I are doing great. Since the news article was written on my ministry, we have seen physical attacks as we've never seen before. It used to be just spiritual, but now it also spilled into the physical.

Since my last letter, I've received testimonies galore. It's almost overwhelming what God has done in the life of so many readers. Those who wrote me back have given me permission to publish their testimonies,  but I'm concerned we may not have space for all the testimonies. Write me back and let me know if I should write down more testimonies, or just create a link where you can go and celebrate with those who have received their breakthroughs? You know, the fastest way to get your own breakthrough is to rejoice with those who are rejoicing. We often miss God's move because we are concerned about the past and the future, which is not bad. The Lord has put it in my heart to advice you with the topic: [...]

Samson, a man of destiny, could not be stopped. It didn't matter that you sent 10 enemies to him or 10,000 - he would defeat them all. His call was to bring salvation to Israel and he was well equipped for this. But for the lust of a young man, the trappings of beauty and the lure of temptation, Samson surrendered His God given purpose, on the alter of sexual pleasure. He sold his birthright for pottage.

This new hire (protege) would live with the entrepreneur, learn the ropes of the trade and serve faithfully. When the new hire becomes competent at the trade, the entrepreneur would then open up a new shop for him (new hire) to manage. After about 5 years of successfully running a shop and repatriating the profits back to the entrepreneur, the new hire will then get [...]

While reading through the exhibits at the Genocide museum in Kigali, Rwanda recently, I came across the word Hamitic. I'm not fully sure why this word stuck out like a sore thumb, but I decided to look more into it - Hamitic simply means being a descendant of Ham. Ham was one of the 3 sons of Noah. A false theory developed overtime, amongst many, that those of Ham's lineage were different and perhaps inferior.

Being of Ham or of Shem is a divider negating the fact that all are of Adam. The Belgians used this Hamitic notion to colonize the Rwandans, they used the old political playbook termed: [...]
