The most vital gift one can receive from their parents is their blessing — not material possessions or education. Bishop Amajene urges every child to honor, revere, and respect their parents, for this is the first commandment with a promise: that it may be well with you, and that you may have a long life on the earth.
Success is rarely achieved without a sequential process that aligns with our vision. The Creator exemplifies a systematic method in all actions — and He calls us to follow due process in every endeavor, adding to our faith goodness, knowledge, self-control, perseverance, godliness, and love.
When God guides us through various processes, we must not truncate the steps required for our growth. Failing to do so — due to impatience, self-will, or disobedience — can lead to missed blessings and wasted opportunities. We are the clay; He is the Potter.

True connections are demonstrated through genuine care and involvement in both joyful and sorrowful moments. Bishop Amajene challenges us: how can one claim to love another without actively participating in their moments of joy or sorrow?
David, known as a warrior king, was also celebrated as a great giver in the Bible — earning the title “a man after God’s heart.” His sacrificial giving and unwavering faithfulness in God’s service paved the way for prosperity and peace in the reign of his successor, Solomon.
Expecting blessings without first giving support, comfort, resources, and help to those in need goes against Christ’s teachings. The essence of superabundant living lies in the act of giving — and Jesus promises that what you give will be returned to you pressed down, shaken together, and running over.
God acknowledges and remembers our diligent work and acts of love toward His name, especially in our service to fellow believers. Despite doubts and criticisms that may arise, believers are encouraged to persist in ministering to others — knowing that God never overlooks their efforts.
Mary, despite being known as a sinner, brought an alabaster box of ointment and anointed the feet of Jesus — offering her best to a worthy Savior. Bishop Amajene asks: what have you done for the Lord in gratitude for His blessings?
Jesus directed His words to the hearts of believing Jews, urging them to embrace His teachings to reveal true discipleship and the emancipating power of truth. Discipleship is a voluntary renunciation of past transgressions and a resolute commitment to living in accordance with the sacred precepts of the Savior.
