JANUARY 2026 EDITION OF EXCERPTS FROM SOME OF HIS LORDSHIP’S MESSAGES.

MUCH LOVE AND GREETINGS FROM YOUR FRIEND AND BISHOP – THE RT. REV’D PROF. SAMUEL O. IKE, the Diocesan Bishop of Enugu (Anglican Communion).

Please read, digest and share.

1. When One Cannot Pretend:
A natural man can pretend to be virtuous, but sin nature has a way of manifesting via the life of its captor unannounced. It will only take time for that sin in your life to expose you, friends. Repent today and avoid the embarrassment of shame and hell fire, which sin can put you through. (Romans 6: 23).

2. Stolen money has a way of incapacitating a person and a generation. Please never steal God’s money or defraud people. Uprightness pays, friends. (Exodus 20: 15; Leviticus 19: 13; Malachi 3: 8 – 11).

3. Be Watchful / Careful of Human Praise:
Human praise has the capacity to rob you your rewards in this kingdom. What have you that you have not received of Him? Rather let your life be an epitome of His praise all the days of your life. (1 Corinthians 4: 7).

4. Reward System:
God never owes a man, and He can orchestrate scenarios and situations in human systems, just to favour one. Please ask Uncle Mordecai his experience in the Persian empire. God has a time of reward; please remain faithful serving Him, friends. Men may not notice you but God is watching and He keeps record of all that concerns you, sir. (Esther 6: 3 – 11).

5. His Lordship’s short letter to the Servants of God:
Nothing changes a Servant of God with deep relationship with God into a dying Spiritual State like SIN. Dear fellow servants of God, sin is a killer that slaughters mighty men daily. Please run away from sin👏. (Revelation 3: 1 – 6; Ezekiel 18: 4).

6. The 21st Century; Gen-Z and Alpha Generation; behold His Lordship’s Old Time Message and be warned. ANY GOSPEL VOID OF THE CROSS IS A FAKE GOSPEL. (2 Timothy 1: 13; Philippians 3: 10).

7. A Call for Steadfastness:
It is possible your name can be written in the book of life in the morning and be removed in the evening, friends. Steadfastness in right standing with Jesus Christ is the key to making heaven at last. (Psalm 69: 28; Luke 10: 20).

8. Simple qualification for being God’s Elect:
Acknowledging your sins and repenting from them thereof qualifies you as God’s elect / His own. You are not God’s elect because you are sleeping inside the Church as your second home but that you have repented from your sins and forsaken sin. (Psalm 51: 3 & 4; 1 Peter 2: 9 & 10).

9. The Most Painful Verdict in the History of the Human Race:
DEPART FROM ME, YOU WORKER OF INIQUITY. You are not destined to end up in hell fire, friends. Please repent today. (Matthew 7: 23).

10. Nothing lasts forever in life and destiny including the entity called man. Please live as if “The King Jesus” will return the next second – it is called living with eternity in view. (Psalm 90: 12; Revelation 3: 11).

11. My burden; God’s burden is that you may be saved. To be Born Again is not a fashion or fad; it is a lifestyle. The best life to live is that you know that God knows you as His child. (Romans 10: 1; 2 Timothy 2: 19).

12. His Lordship’s Shortest Vision / Mission Statement:
I am a Fisherman, I have my hook, to catch Fish: THE GOSPEL, TO WIN SOULS ANYWHERE AND ANY TIME. Friends, as the year 2026 is already up and running; please pause and state in writing, your life’s shortest vision / mission statement.

FRIENDS, GRACE TO JOURNEY THROUGH THE YEAR OF OUR LORD “2026” IS AT WORK IN YOUR LIFE WITH YOURS ESPECIALLY IN THIS MONTH OF FEBRUARY. Congratulations!
