We give God the Glory for today's service. We learned about integrity and we are sanctified we must learn to live by integrity of our heart. "He who walks in integrity walks securely, But he who perverts his ways will be known." (Proverbs 10:9)

Today we visited the prisons as we do every week. We went to the Medium Security Prison and the Female prison Kirikiri. We spent considerable time there, beginning with a visit to the baptismal pool within the facility and answering questions our brethren had.

Last Sunday, we gathered again, under the bridge to worship Christ and Share his word with our community. Our memory verse was Colossians 4:6 - "Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt.." The Lord helped us as we taught on the power of godly speech.

Have you been to Jesus for the cleansing pow'r? Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb? Are you fully trusting in His grace this hour? Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb? Are you washed in the blood, In the soul-cleansing blood of the Lamb? Are your garments spotless? Are they white as snow? Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb? Are you walking daily by the Savior's side? Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb? Do you rest each moment in the Crucified? Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb? When the Bridegroom cometh will your robes be white? Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb? Will your soul be ready for the mansions bright, and be washed in the blood of the Lamb? Lay aside the garments that are stained with sin. Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb? There’s a fountain flowing for the soul unclean. O be washed in the blood of the Lamb!

The Progression of Sin A Devotional from Genesis 3 Sin rarely begins with open rebellion. It begins with a question. Question God's Word "Did God actually say…?" The serpent does not begin with denial. He begins with doubt. He introduces suspicion toward the clarity and goodness of God's command. The moment God's Word becomes negotiable, the heart shifts from trust to analysis. Revelation is placed on trial. The first fracture is never action. It is suspicion. Distort God's Word Eve responds, but she adds to the command. She adjusts it. Once the Word is misrepresented, it becomes easier to dismiss. A distorted command feels unreasonable. And what feels unreasonable becomes easy to reject. Distortion prepares the ground for denial. Deny God's Word "You will not surely die." The serpent moves from suggestion to contradiction. God's warning is called false. Consequence is minimized. Judgment is reframed as exaggeration. Sin always requires redefining reality. If death is not real, disobedience feels harmless. Act Independently "When the woman saw that the tree was good for food… desirable to make one wise…" The shift is complete. Authority moves from God's Word to human perception. The eyes become the final judge. Desire becomes the compass. This is the birth of autonomous humanity. Man choosing to be his own reference point. Man setting up an alternate system of knowledge. Man attempting to be god to himself. The act of eating is not merely dietary. It is theological. It is a declaration of independence. Experience Shame "Then the eyes of both were opened, and they knew that they were naked." The promised enlightenment arrives. Not as glory. As exposure. They wanted expanded consciousness. They received self-consciousness. Before sin, they were naked and unashamed. After sin, they are self-aware and hiding. The knowledge they gained did not elevate them. It fractured them. And immediately, they begin to sew fig leaves. The Futile Covering Fig leaves are humanity's first religious system. Self-made covering. Self-engineered righteousness. Self-constructed protection against exposure. But fig leaves cannot silence conscience. They cannot remove guilt. They cannot restore fellowship. They only conceal symptoms. God calls, "Where are you?" Not because He lacks information. Because they are hiding. Alternate systems always end in hiding. The True Covering Genesis 3:21 is quiet but thunderous. "And the Lord God made for Adam and for his wife garments of skins and clothed them." Something had to die. An animal is slain. Blood is shed. Skin becomes covering. This is the first death in Scripture. And it is substitutionary. Fig leaves could not cover shame. Only sacrifice could. This moment anticipates the Lamb. Not self-effort. Not moral reform. Not philosophical awakening. A slain substitute. From Eden onward, Scripture whispers the same truth: nakedness requires atonement. Man's instinct is to hide. God's provision is to cover. The Pattern Remains - Question the Word. - Distort the Word. - Deny the Word. - Act independently. - Experience shame. - Attempt self-covering. - Hide. The progression is precise. Every system that promises wisdom apart from God ends in exposure. Every attempt to be one's own god leads to fragmentation. Only the Lamb provides sufficient covering. Genesis 3 is not about a fruit. It is about autonomy. It is about man reaching for divine status and collapsing into shame. The serpent promised elevation. God provided redemption. Self-consciousness without submission produces shame. Self-made righteousness produces hiding. Only sacrifice restores communion.

Living Epistles Yesterday at our Sunday School service, we explored what it truly means to be a Living Epistle of Christ—a message written not with ink, but with lives that can be read by everyone (2 Corinthians 3:2–3). To make this truth practical, we used a simple but powerful analogy drawn from inter-house sports. When a player belongs to a house, his identity is clear: he wears the house colours, follows the house rules, and plays for the house’s victory. Every action he takes reflects not just on himself, but on the house he represents. If someone claims to belong to one house but consistently wears another house’s colours and scores points for the opposition, the conclusion is obvious—he is an impostor. In the same way, when a person comes to Christ, a new allegiance is formed. We now belong to Him. Our lives, choices, words, and conduct are meant to reflect His standards, His character, and His values. Christianity is not merely a confession of the mouth; it is a visible identity lived out daily. Scripture reminds us: “You are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read by all men.” — 2 Corinthians 3:2 A Living Epistle is one whose life silently but clearly communicates the thoughts, ways, and heart of Jesus to the surrounding community. Long before we speak, people are already “reading” us. We concluded with our memory verse: “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.” — Matthew 5:16 It was deeply moving to watch our brethren under the bridge commit this Scripture to memory and recite it boldly. In that moment, the Word was not just taught, it was being written on hearts by the Spirit of God. This lesson extends to all of us. Wherever we are—at home, at work, on the streets, or in public spaces—we are constantly representing a Kingdom. The question is not whether we are being read, but what message our lives are communicating. Today, by God’s grace, we continue this work of fellowship and encouragement as we return to Kirikiri Medium Security Prison, standing with our brethren there as those who remember the imprisoned as though bound with them (Hebrews 13:3). May our lives everywhere proclaim Christ clearly—without confusion, without compromise, and without a word needing to be spoken. We are His letters. May the world read Christ in us.

Yesterday, we witnessed the Gospel completing a full circle. For the very first time, the immediate past Christian leader of the Female Correctional Centre returned to the prison, not as an inmate, but as a preacher of the Gospel. Months ago, she worshipped, prayed, and led others within walls of the neighbouring facility while awaiting her own freedom. At our last crusade in the Female correctional facility, it was prophesied that she would soon be released. Shortly after that gathering, she walked out of the facility, not just free, but transformed. After nearly three months of silence, she reached out again, this time not for help, but to serve. Yesterday, she stood before the inmates and preached with clarity, humility, and authority. Her message was simple but profound: The place you are in does not have to define you. It can become the place where you find yourself again. She reminded them that confinement can become a moment of deep repositioning, time to reflect, to confront old patterns, and to allow genuine inner transformation to begin. She spoke about holding firmly to the Lord and yielding to the slow, faithful work of the Spirit while preparing for life beyond the gates. What made the moment especially powerful was not just what she said, but who she was. When the inmates realized she once sat in a neighbouring facility close to where they now sit, listening to what they now listen to, and prayed from the same place of uncertainty, the atmosphere shifted. They listened intently. They prayed deeply. Hope became tangible. This is what discipleship looks like. Not instant perfection, but steady transformation. Not condemnation, but obedience to Christ over time. Not merely release from a facility, but release from old ways of life. It was an amazing time at the Medium Correctional Centre with our beloved brethren there, continuing the work of teaching, praying, and walking alongside those God has not forgotten. We are grateful to Christ for the privilege of service and for the laborers He is raising, some of whom once received the message and now carry it themselves. Please keep us in your prayers, that the Lord will continue to send more labourers into places many overlook, but where grace is actively at work.

This morning I got to church in the rain, and met the brethren singing and clapping inside the rain. I quickly settled down and joined, when it time I began to teach. As I was rounding up, Sister Sewa came to me and whisper the words "Computer is dead". I was shocked. 🧵

God wants you to acknowledge Him in all your ways. No situation is too insignificant or too massive to justify shutting God's perspective and principles away from your decisions. The God who made all things should be honoured in all things!

Then we moved to visit a member, only to find that he lived by the roadside with his wife, what shocks me the most is how clear the wife sounds, apparently she’s a masters degree holder but life happened. It broke my heart seeing them like this, I had no idea.

Leaving the place was not funny either, we had to go through a route that people had been forced to stop using by the owner of the land, with his permission, it didn’t make it easier though. People living in places like this, with only one thing on their mind “Survival”.
