MARCH 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. If you are a Christian, a child of God, you don’t mingle with sin. Going back to sin is going back to eating your vomit, friends. Always be conscious of whose nature you bear now. (2 Corinthians 5:17; 2 Peter 2: 21 – 22).

2. Nothing enables a man to overcome the devil and temptation like the word of God. The word of God keeps a man under check; please make the word of God your close companion. (Mathew 4:4; Ephesians 6:17; Job 23: 12).

3. Friends, how come you are a child of God but your life does not distinctly show forth as sons and daughters of God? The Spirit of God is one with distinctive character and lifestyle anywhere in the world – His nature abhors sin. For the sake of eternity, please run away from sin. (1 John 3: 9; Romans 12: 17).

4. No University cleanses sin; no training can make one pure; having a title in the Church does not make you holy. Only Jesus Christ, through His shed blood, can make you holy. Are you washed in the blood of the lamb? (1 John 1:9; Romans 5:8; 1 Peter 1: 18, 19).

5. Opposition Must Come:
It is in the DNA of Satan to oppose anything you do that has value, child of God. When opposition comes, don’t be scared. It is an indication that God is with you; LOOK BEYOND NOW, FRIENDS. (Ephesians 6:11 – 12; Job 8:7; John 16:33).

6. The commonest signs that you have Jesus in your life is PEACE UNSPEAKABLE. Inner peace cannot be bought with the highest currencies of the world, friends. Know Him today and know peace. (John 8:36; Philippians 4:7).

7. Death is Not by Series:
That you are the oldest or the youngest is not the yardstick to know whose turn to die first. Please hear the whole truth about Mr. Death; it will surely be your turn to die one day. It is heaven’s gain when someone dies in Christ. Are you prepared to meet your maker? If not, repent today. (Hebrews 9:27; Philippians 1:21).

8. The Greatest Open Cheque in the History of Mankind:
The call to Salvation is the greatest blank cheque from divinity to humanity, friends. Please don’t turn the offer down. All you need to do is to confess and repent of your sins. (Revelation 3:20; Romans 10: 9).

9. 3H(s) of a man God will use:
H1 – Humility; if you are not humble, you are unusable before God
H2 – Holiness; without holiness, no eye will see the Lord, or serve Him acceptably
H3 – Holy Spirit; You are limited in your work / walk with God without the person and power of the Holy Spirit. (Isaiah 57:15; 1 Peter 5:5 & 6; Acts 6:3; Hebrews 12: 14, 28).

10. His Lordship’s Simple Equation on How to Live a Life Void of Sin:
The closer a man is with God = The further away he stays from sin. It is called spiritual proximity. (Romans 12:2; James 4: 8).

11. You can have so many beautiful clothes; dress gorgeously, yet you do not wear holiness as a cloth; heaven is not for you. You can be holy in this morally depraved generation, friends. (1 Peter 1:15 – 16).

12. His Presence is Magnetic:
Nothing attracts God’s Presence like magnet to a person’s life like Humility and holiness. His Lordship enjoins you again, friends; be holy. (Hebrews 12:14, 28 & 29).

FRIENDS, AS THE DAYS AHEAD IN THIS END TIME ARE BECOMING TOUGHER, PLEASE STAY “ON THE WORD” ESPECIALLY IN THIS MONTH OF APRIL. The same power that raised Jesus from the dead is at work in you. GOD BLESS YOU.
