Phaneroo Sunday Service 397 expounded on how to manage anger.
As believers, we emulate God’s nature, distinguish between righteous and unrighteous anger, resolve issues promptly, and walk in the Spirit.
By this, we guard against strife and bitterness, deny the devil a foothold and reflect God’s nature. Hallelujah!
Please join us this Sunday, 28th June 2026 at the PHANEROO GROUNDS NAGURU for #PhanerooSundayService 398.
You are blessed.
CHRIST, OUR ILLUMINATION
2 Corinthians 3:18 (KJV): “But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.”
In our theme scripture, Paul reveals that with unveiled faces, we behold as in a mirror the glory of the Lord. The mirror in this instance is the Word of God.
A mirror, however, cannot reveal an image without light.
If you stand before a mirror in a dark room, you will not be able to see your reflection clearly. The mirror may be present, and the image may be before it, but without light, nothing is revealed. Light must strike the surface of the mirror for the reflection to appear.
John 1:9 defines Christ as the true Light who gives light to every man who comes into the world. This means that Christ is the illumination by which we see, understand, and rightly interpret the Scriptures.
This means that the Word of God must be understood in the light of Christ.
Jesus said in John 5:39 that the Scriptures testify of Him. This means that any reading of Scripture that does not lead us to Christ has not reached its divine conclusion.
Every true interpretation of Scripture must begin and end in the revelation of Christ. Every misinterpretation of Scripture has its root in removing Christ from the equation. Every distortion of scriptural reality begins where the revelation of Christ is absent.
Christ is not merely a subject within the Bible; He is the light by which the whole counsel of God is understood. Hallelujah!
FURTHER STUDY: John 5:39; Luke 24:27
PRAYER: Father, I thank You for Jesus Christ, the true Light and the perfect revelation of who You are. By this knowledge, I read and understand Scripture through the light of Christ. The eyes of my understanding are flooded with light. I see Christ in the Scriptures. As I behold Him, You transform me into the same image from glory to glory. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
This is a long read but it will definitely bless you.
You've been believing God for something so long that the waiting has started to sound like a no.
I need you to stay with me here.
Romans 4 describes Abraham at 100 years old. His body "as good as dead." Sarah's womb - dead.
Decades of waiting, and no child. No sign. Nothing moving.
And Paul says this about him:
"He did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God - being fully persuaded that what He had promised, He was also able to perform." Romans 4:20-21 (NKJV)
He did not waver.
Not because the circumstances changed. They didn't. His body was still 100. Sarah was still barren.
He didn't waver because he stopped putting the weight on the evidence and put it on the One who made the promise.
Verse 18 says he believed "against hope" - in hope. The Greek word is ‘para’ - beyond, “Outside the boundary of”. He believed past the edge of where hope could even see.
That's where God does His best work. Not at the border of difficulty. Past the place where hope runs out.
Now read Habakkuk 2:3 -
"The vision is yet for an appointed time; but at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry."
Did you catch what happened there? "Though it tarries" - but "it will not tarry."
Which is it? Both!
It feels slow to YOU because you are on a human timeline. But God's promise is not late. It is on schedule for an appointment you didn't set.
The vision has an appointed time. Not an accidental time. Not a delayed time. An appointed time.
And here is what most people miss about Abraham: he didn't just wait. He worshipped.
"Strengthened in faith, giving glory to God."
- Romans 4:20.
Before Isaac was born. Before any physical sign. Before anything moved. He gave God glory as if the promise had already landed.
That is what worship in the waiting does. It doesn't deny the delay. It doesn't perform fake optimism. It makes a declaration - I don't understand the timeline, but I trust the Author and I will praise Him now, because I believe that what He said will speak and will not lie.
That kind of worship is not emotional. It is theological. It is saying something true about God before your circumstances agree.
Hebrews 11:1 calls faith "the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen."
Substance, Evidence! These are legal words. Faith is not wishful thinking. It is the currency Heaven recognizes before earth catches up.
When you praise God for what hasn't happened yet on earth, you are transacting in a currency your bank cannot process but Heaven already has on record.
I know what it means to be in Nigeria and be waiting. Finish NYSC and still be looking. Pray and fast and wake up to the same situation. Watch your mates move and feel like God has the wrong address.
But Abraham waited. David waited in caves while Saul wore the crown. Joseph waited in a prison for a dream God gave him. None of them were forgotten. None of them were late. None of them wasted their waiting.
And you won't either. The question is not whether God will come through. He is "fully able to perform what He has promised." - Romans 4:21.
The question is whether you will be found still standing, still worshipping, still believing when He does.
Don't let go. Not today. Not when it looks dead. Not when the timeline embarrasses you. Not when the silence feels like a no.
God help you!
@Ojilong1@dawam608@bruno_KUg People are still growing and that is different for everybody. I am certain as people continue to mature the Lord and continue to behold Christ, they start to reflect his image more and.more
Grieving the holy spirit is when you speak words and things contrary to His plan by what you are thinking because you don't know what He is doing. Selah!

Sorry sorry.
By the way, the weather is cold o, and some of you are thinking about partners.
Not knowing that the word of God is like fire in our bones.
There’s enough heat there!
You don’t negotiate with sexual temptation or test how strong you are. Chris explains why he avoids putting himself in situations that could tempt him when it comes to the opposite sex.
#NTVMen
You said you want someone who sees you.
God said "I know you by name."
That boy watched your story and didn't reply your text.
But sure.
At least he sees your story. 🫢
You want someone who remembers the details.
God knows the number of hairs on your head.
Updated in real time.
But you’re with someone who forgets what you said last Tuesday.
Good morning!
IT CAME TO PASS
2 Corinthians 4:17 (NKJV): “For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory.”
By divine design, no negative situation in your life is permanent.
When Paul says that our affliction is “but for a moment,” it means that every issue you are facing has an expiry date. It came to pass.
It did not come to stay. It did not come to linger in your life as a permanent fixture in your destiny. It came to pass.
Psalm 30:5 assures us that weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning. This means that sorrow has a time limit. Pain has a boundary. Trouble has an appointed end.
You must approach every difficulty with this understanding.
Never define your future by accommodating a present weakness. If you receive a bad report from a doctor, do not begin to plan the next several years around managing that condition as though it has the final say over your life. Do not arrange your finances, relationships, dreams, and expectations around an affliction that God has already declared to be momentary.
How can it pass if, by your own plans, you keep extending its lifespan in your life?
You may be in the middle of grave accusations and malicious attacks from your enemies. It may look like your career, business, family, or ministry is coming to an end under the weight of it all.
But hear the Word of the Lord. The storm will not bury you. The financial pressure will not finish you. It came to pass.
FURTHER STUDY: Isaiah 43:2; Romans 8:18
PRAYER: Father, I thank You because no negative situation in my life is permanent. I believe Your Word that my affliction is but for a moment and is working for me a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory. I refuse to define my future by my present challenge. I declare that any trying season will end in joy, victory, strength, and testimony. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
Stop comparing this regime to General Idi Amin’s. Amin came to power via coup, ruled by decree, and never lied about it. What you saw is what you got. No wasted taxpayer money on a bloated, fake democracy. Throughout his entire eight-year regime (1971–1979), there was no functioning legislature, and all laws in the country were made by presidential decree. Amin ruled absolutely, vesting all executive and legislative powers in himself and his Advisory Defense Council, which was composed of military officers.
Today’s rulers preach water and drink wine. They shout "Jesus and democracy" while abducting citizens, hiding them, and using courts to legitimize tyranny. If they hate the rule of law, why keep the democratic facade? Why not just declare a dictatorship?
