- Take time every day to pray to Jesus to fill you with his spirit. "Lord Jesus, you promised that you would always live within me and mold me into your image. Please empower me today with your spirit, and let it guide me in all my emotions and decisions. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen."
- Study and memorize the following Bible verse from Galatians 5:22: "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control." Ask yourself at the end of each day whether your felt these gifts within yourself and in your interactions with others. As humans, we often fall short of these virtues, which is why we must continually ask God to to lead us through the spirit in developing these fruits.
Our Honorary Doctor of the Month
Meet Patrick Rathokolo of South Africa, a born-again child of God who founded Lively Stones Ministry to share his love of Christ within his community. He is a humble servant of God who preaches the gospel, counsels marriages in trouble, assists the needy and confesses that the Lord "delights in every detail of my life, whether in shame, pain, suffering, or disappointment. He gives me His confidence in the midst of any challenge." We are very proud to award him an honorary doctoral degree in Divinity.
"Thank you for your incredible service. I never had a chance to study for an academic degree when I was younger, and I always felt that this held me back in life. This has finally leveled the playing field for me, and now I can hold my head up a little higher as I introduce myself as an honorary doctor. Thanks again."
-- Andrew M. Abel,
Dr. h.c. of Religious Economics (Brisbane, Australia)
