God’s original plan right from the beginning was to have the closest imaginable relationship with man. He really wanted to be one with man to the extent that He created him in His own image. God is a God who never changes and His ways too never change. The same love that He had at the beginning of times is the same love that He has now and it i the same love that He will have forever.
It is time to have a love relationship with the Father like he originally intended it to be. God still wants to have that inseparable relationship with you at all times. Make God your first Father,mother,wife, boss, partner and all the relationships with the rest will work out. Make it a habit to live on the word of God every day of your life.In this powerful message, Prophetess Joanne Okia takes us through the step on how to relate with God in the original way that He has intended our relationship with Him to beClick Here to listen to the message

You must be ready to work harder than ever before to perfect the talents that God has blessed you with, you must work hard to establish that which God has called you to do,and you must arise, work hard, and advance in everything.In this message, Dr Joseph Okia urges everyone not to look back at the scars of the past years but to rhyme with the season and fulfill what God has called us to doClick here to listen to the message
2013 was a hard year full of challenges.Many of us were pushed to the limits of our endurance and certainly our faith. There were many dark hours where we almost despaired but somehow you were able to survive. Even thought these times seemed hard and lonely, God was in full control. It was His way to
train us and strengthen us for the work that lies ahead. So 2013 was a year to test us, strengthen us, discipline us and show us our weaknesses and God’s great
strength to sustain us in the midst of the storm. The disruptions of 2013 were there to bring you back on course, to return you to your original purpose to align you with your destiny. It was definitely always pleasant but rest assured in knowing that it was for your good. And now that you are well aligned the stage is set to move into your destiny, wiser and stronger!
2014 is about building and establishing! Having known and returned to you destiny and path, God is releasing a Grace to build up and establish a strong foundation. 2014 is about establishing your the thing that you were called to do on this earth. All that you have passed through was to prepare
for this time, the time when you are revealed for who you are and for the destiny that you carry.
So stand up, shake off the dust and take your place of Authority. Declare it boldly and prepare to hard at establishing the Foundation.
In 2014 you will see the fruits of your labor, you will be satisfied by the work of your hands. efforts will pay off; you will not labor in vain. It is a year when others will see the result of work and begin to recognize you for who you are for I am shining my spotlight on you. 2014 is the year to “own” your family, your workplace, your nation. To love, cherish and for them and to speak blessings over them. 2014 is the year to Occupy, take Possession, Build and Establish Until we see God’s come Here on Earth as it is in Heaven

Once again the Christmas season is right here and everyone is excited about the fun fare and merry making that comes with the season. To many it is a period of relaxing from the tight work schedules, to others it is a time of hooking up with friends and family, a chance to celebrate the end of the year, and to many believers, it is a season to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ.
But if you were to delve deeper into your reasons for celebrating Christmas, are they the right reasons? Do they warrant cause for excitement? Have you bothered to find out why people were so happy about the birth of Jesus Christ? Are they the same reasons why you are excited about Christmas? Does Jesus' birth hold any relevance to you today? These are some of the questions that Dr Joseph Okia answers in this powerful message that he shared with the little childrenClick here to listen to the message
Time and again we are faced with situations that completely challenge what the word of God says and because of getting overwhelmed by the situations, we end up accepting them as normal yet what God's word says is totally different. You could find yourself in a situation where you feel oppressed in your own territory, your own city, your own home and instead of sticking to what God's word says, you turn to strongholds for comfort. But today God is reminding you about His greatness and the power that lies within you. No situation can withstand the power of the God that is within you and any moment that any situation arises, just listen to the voice of God. If God is for Us, who can be against us?

At the heart of all the troubles that we have in our nation, offices,and homes is the spirit of orphan hood. Sons are fighting and rebelling against their fathers, and society is left orphaned. A foolish son is the
calamity of his father and any fatherless son is a calamity to society. The question is,whose son are you? Oli mwana wani? Are you that parent less child who is without the guidance of parents disobedient to authority, un-teachable, and all knowing? And if you are not that child,whose child are you? Do you know your
parents?And if you know them, do you follow what they tell you to do?
In this message, Dr Joseph Okia teaches us how to be good spiritual sons and daughters and how obedience and submission to our parents is the solution to most of the troubles that we face in our current generation.

Fatherhood is the foundation of Christianity and every activity that we are engaged with.
Fatherhood is an essential revelation of God. When the disciples asked Jesus to teach them how to pray,he told them to always say Father,hallowed be thy name!
Fatherhood is the super trigger that leads us to God. God is a Father and a Father who is to be honored. The Father is in the son and the son is in the Father. Creation is waiting
in eager exception for the sons of God to be revealed. All the systems, family,politics,business,education name them are waiting for the fathers to manifest.

It is commonplace to find the roles of a father clearly spelt out.A father establishes the identity of his children,a father provides security to his children,a father instills authority among his children and the father validates the potential of his children. But what does it take to be a child to the father?And in this case a good spiritual child to a spiritual Father?
Simple as it may appear,it takes a lot of spiritual alertness to appreciate the fact that one is a spiritual son with obligations to fulfill to their spiritual parents. It goes way beyond merely confessing that someone is your spiritual father and in this special message,Dr.Joseph Okia guides us on what it means to be a spiritual child.Click here to listen to the message
The basis of our ministry is family and if you want to go any further in your spiritual walk and every other journey that you have embarked on, you must clearly understand your family.You must get to appreciate each and everyone around you as family. In a family you love your brothers and sisters, you share and cherish every moment with the loved ones, you quarrel and get misunderstandings, but still you remain family.In a family you have a Father, that special person who you call daddy, that person with whom you share the same DNA, that great person whom you look up to when you are stuck, that person who will guide you in your every day life and help you to negotiate the corners of life. That special father for whom you cannot hesitate to open up your entire life for him to speak into it, that special person who will correct you when you go wrong and that special person who will celebrate with you more than any one else when you succeed.
God is asking you today, who is your father? And if you know who your father is, have you submitted your life and what you have to him?

God has given us a mandate to bring transformation to Uganda and all the nations all over the world and He has put in place everything that we need to transform nations but some how we are still in doubt and we
think that we don't have what it takes to accomplish God's assignment.Time and again We are despising ourselves and abilities by looking down upon ourselves. We have ensnared ourselves by believing the negative voices that fill us with information that only makes us feel defeated.
But time has come for you to shake yourself out of that foolishness. We must rise and take up what God has called us to do.
We must stop despising Ourselves and instead believe and declare the word of God. God is already doing wonders and miracles in our midst and we must use them as a springboard to our rise instead of taking them for granted.

The way of the righteous is like the early morning rays that shine more and more unto the perfect day. In this brand new season people are going to recognize you for who you are and entrust you with more and more assignments but you must arise and shine. Though it might take some time for the light to become bright, just persist and eliminate all excuses. It is a season where there is no substitute for hard work, and a season where whatever is undertaken is guided by faith.
In this Message, Dr Joseph Okia shares about the amazing testimony of the transformational power that the Hawaii Conference has had on his personal life and the different spheres of his influence. What started as a small shining light six years ago is now shinning brighter and brighter and he encourages us to always arise and shine without any excuse when God’s call comes.Click here to listen to Dr Okia
God sent us here with a purpose. We are so blessed to know about Christ and it is our responsibility to let each and everyone around us to know about God. God’s will for us is to present His gospel to His people and let the whole world know about His saving grace and love for humanity.
Let us tell God’s people about the love of Christ and the peace of God. We are lucky that we have already received salvation through Christ and now we should transmit this gospel to transform people, change lives, and make people look different and bring healing to hurting world.
We are in a new season of soul winning, a season of harvesting people and a season to bring forth fruit.
It is time to sow ourselves into righteousness and seek God like never before. In a crazy world that is full of crazy people, it is time to become a crazy Christian and harvest souls for Christ.Click Here to Listen to Apostle Grace Awor
Sometimes getting out an undesirable situation necessitates us to get tired of that situation. There are people who always have all kinds of reasons to justify their continued stay in certain situations and why those cant change, but if we are to come out those situations, it needs us to cooperate with God and it is you, yourself to declare that destiny upon your life. It is you to proclaim that dream and get your life out of that situation. The power of life and death lies in your tongue, declare an end to that situation with your tongue.
This new season is about getting up and shedding off the dust of the old season, it’s time to press on and leave the past behind you. Get sick and tired of that situationClick here to listen to the Message
The devil is the most powerless enemy that anyone can ever have an encounter with. But weak as he is, this enemy has kingdom which he has to build and he is very sure that he cannot bank on his weakness to build his kingdom. We all know the sole purpose of the devil's kingdom is to steal, kill and destroy but in his powerlessness, he can never ever attain his goal.The devil uses those with power to attain his goal and since God gave us power over the enemy, it is we with the power that the devil tricks into doing things that promote his kingdom.The enemy creates situations in our lives that force us to do things that only promote his kingdom. He uses tools like anger, envy, depression and above all discouragement. Once he gets those with power in those moods, then they can do anything that he desires for his kingdom.
Brethren, the bible warns us to be alert and sober minded against the devil's scheme. We already know that this enemy is very powerless and weak and once we discern what he is plotting in his schemes, his kingdom is as good as defeated forever.Click here to listen to the Message
God created each and every one with a special feeling of love. Irrespective of who we are, what we do, where we live,how old we are,everyone longs to be loved, cared for and be treated in a special way at least by someone or those around us. Right from the beginning God‘s relationship with US has been one that is strictly grounded on love. For love’s sake He created us,gave Us everything that He owns in the universe, and trusted Us to lord over all the creation. Even as we sinned and betrayed Him, for love's sake He went ahead and offered a hefty ransom to redeem Us. All kinds of trials and harsh realities life sometimes make us forget about this unending love that Our creator has had for us for all these generations but today God is reminding us that His love is unending. Irrespective of the circumstances around US,. The same loving God of yesterday is the same today, tomorrow and forever. In this new Season, God is reminding us that He has not changed, He Loves you.Click Here to Listen to the Message
This new season marks the most significant time of the year not only on the Jewish calendar but in the lives of all believers across the globe. It is a key moment, a time to reflect on past mistakes and resolve in front of God to not repeat them in the coming year, It is a time for repentance, and forgiveness in the eyes of God, a time to cleanse our souls and a new chance to start afresh with an unburdened conscience throughout the rest of the year.
It was a moment to remember as each and every believer at the Integrity Life Church took that conscious step to look deep inside their personal lives and made amends with God. It was a fire filled atmosphere as members of the congregation spoke blessings to one another, wished one another a prosperous new season that is full of holiness, fruitfulness, purity and love. All old contracts were cancelled, bitter experiences of the old season nullified and a sweet new season was announced. A holy communion was conducted to usher in this new season of blessings and the icing of the cake was the blowing of the shofar 100 times to stir up the souls of the believers and to awaken their spirits to God’s presence throughout this new season.Click Here to Listen to Dr Okia's Message
We are called to live a life of righteousness but the kind of righteousness that modern Christians have chosen to live leaves a lot to be desired. In a desperate attempt to imitate Jesus, Christians have ended up doing exactly the opposite of what Jesus teaches us to do by showing contempt for those who are perceived to be sinners, judging those who error in their spiritual walks, and embarrassing those who are nabbed in sin. Modern Christians are too righteous to the extent that they even do not remember to think about their weaknesses. They move around with "Christ like" "holy" and "reverent images" which on the surface show that everything is right in their lives.
But as Ms Angela Semwogerere shares in this inspirational message, this is not the kind of life that Jesus Christ called us to live. We must put off all the Christian masks that we have put on and live the true life of righteousness that we are called to live.Click Here to Listen to the Message
Our fate and destiny entirely lies in the power of the words that we profess and speak. The very words that we speak have the power to determine the destiny of nations either in the wrong way or the right way. Words can bring peace just like they can bring about catastrophes. We have witnessed nations crumble just because of bad reports, the Israelites were on the brink of possessing the promised land but just because of a bad report they missed out. In this new season we ought to watch out for the words we speak upon situations, upon our nations, and upon ourselves because what we speak has the power to determine our destiny.In this Message Dr Joseph Okia encourages Us to celebrate the blessings that the new season has brought and be ready to possess the promised land that God destined Us for and to always desist from believing in bad reports.Be blessed as you listen.Click Here to Listen to the Message
Come to think about the words that you speak. Are they words that create life or they are words that destroy? The most special body part that God ever created on man is the tongue. The bible talks of the power of life and death being in this simple organ-the tongue. Just imagine,the power of everything on earth(your life, children, businesses, nations, governments, dreams) all lies in the tongue. In this message we are challenged and taught how to tame the this special body part and use it to achieve God's intended purpose for the world around us.Click Here to Listen to the Message
Dedicate every part of your body to God such that wherever you go, it is not you that people get to see but God. Your hands should only touch things that build God's kingdom, your eyes should only see things that exalt God, your legs should only take you to places where God is needed your lips should only utter words that build. People should be able to see God in you and not just you.

Do you really believe that God still works miracles in our day and age? Day in and day out we are bombarded with words of discouragement and despair. The media lets us to know everything that is negative around us.
But in the midst of the seeming despair, God shines His light brightly to let us know that He is still on His throne and that His power is still available to heal the sick, raise the dead, make the blind see and to shut the mouths of lions. Gahini's miraculous restoration has for us become a symbol of God's power to heal today.Brethren it is a new season for sowing seeds of righteousness according to Hosea 10:12, a time to break up our hardened hearts of unbelief and doubt and a time to seek the Lord until He comes and rains righteousness on us.There was a sweet presence in the room as Dr Joseph Okia guided us in pouring out our hearts for God to replace any hardness with a heart of flesh according to Ezekiel 36:26.

Terrible times have come and gone, we have walked on rough paths, through rugged terrains but still made it through and here we are in a brand new season after overcoming such intense battles. Now We have to step up the game and rise up to the challenges of the new season. We have to rise to a higher level of excellence and we must be led by prophetic revelation and not what seems to make sense to us.
In this message, Dr Joseph Okia urges us to manifest as soon as possible, because more than ever before, Creation is eagerly waiting for us in this new season

Conventional beliefs have made Us think that eternity only starts after getting into the next life and our interaction with God is often hampered by that mindset that the rules of Our interaction with Him will change when eternal life starts. We think that the way we relate with God will change when "eternal life starts"
But as Ms Angella Semwogerere shares in this motivational message, the God of yesterday is the God of today and He is the God of Forever, nothing about Him will ever change, and as we interact with Him, we should bear it in mind that the rules of yesterday are the rules of today and they are the rules for eternity.

Brethren you are not alone. The moment you believed that Jesus Christ is your Savior, you not only entitled yourself to divine privileges but also earned yourself an eternal companion in the Holy Spirit. Jesus knew how tough and depressing situations can mean to be in His absence and promised to send you a Helper, a Counselor and a Comforter who will forever be with you in every situation, every place you go and every activity that you do.
But as Apostle Grace Awor shares in this powerful message, all you need to do is recognize the sweet presence of your Companion in your entire walk of life, for Jesus decreed it, that you will never walk alone,

People out there are desperately looking for love and one of Our purposes is to avail this much needed love. Our God who so loved the world and surrendered His only son to save this world is the same God who put Us here on earth as His Ambassadors of love. All that the world needs to be a better is unconditional love, selfless love, and in whatever we do in our daily lives, we should exude love. But as Apostle Grace Awor teaches in this podcast, love is not a feeling, love should not be selective and we should avail no other love but replicate that love that God showed to the whole world. Love is a commitment, a decision and above all a commandment.
