“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God.” Ephesians 2:8 (KJV) In the Kingdom of God, faith and grace are inseparable. One reveals what is freely given; the other is how we take hold of it. Grace is God’s hand extended and faith is our hand reaching back to receive. Faith Is Acting Like God’s Word Is True As believers, we don’t live by how we feel, we live by what God says. “For we walk by faith, not by sight.” – 2 Corinthians 5:7 Faith is not a feeling. Faith is knowing what God has said and responding to it even when you don’t feel it. It’s saying, “God said it, so I believe it, and I act like so.” That’s how we experience the realities of the Kingdom. But how can we respond if we don’t first know? Here’s the simple protocol: Know the Word Understand the Word Act like it’s true That’s faith. Clear the Noise, Activate Your Faith Faith is not complicated but our minds are often cluttered with distractions, doubts, and competing information. The main battlefield is in our minds and we must conquer it to express faith correctly. “…bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.” – 2 Corinthians 10:5 Your mind is loyal to what you feed it. The more attention you give to God’s word, the more faith rises. One practical way to declutter your heart and realign your focus is through fasting . Fasting helps silence the noise and amplify the voice of the Spirit. Faith Isn’t Trying to Make God Move; He Already Has Faith doesn’t push God’s hand; it receives what God has already done. “Faith begins where the will of God is known.” The Word of God is our Kingdom constitution, it tells us what’s available to us. But like in any nation, even with laws in place, criminals (in our case, demons) still try to violate them. That’s why we must enforce our rights by resisting the devil. “Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” – James 4:7 Grace Makes, Faith Takes God’s grace provided salvation, healing, provision, and victory but it’s through faith that we take hold of these realities. Only embracing grace leads to passivity. Only emphasizing faith leads to striving (legality). However, together, grace and faith unleash the life of God. Grace is what God has done. Faith is how we respond. Confession Aligns You with Truth Confession is a vital part of faith. It renews the mind and sets the heart in agreement with God’s Word. The first mountain you must conquer is the one in your heart. Speak the Word until your heart aligns with heaven. Faith Works Through Love “…by love serve one another.” – Galatians 5:13 “Above all things have fervent charity among yourselves…” – 1 Peter 4:8 Walking in love is not emotional, it’s spiritual. Love looks like giving, praying, forgiving, and serving. As we walk in love, the supernatural flows easily. Why? Because love is the oxygen of faith. Romans 13 reminds us that love fulfills the law. When you truly see your fellow believers as members of the same body, love becomes instinctive. Love is not blind. It doesn’t ignore red flags or abandon wisdom. Love is truthful, wise, and Spirit-led. Live the Word, See the Word Any area of your life you don’t expose to God’s Word is the area you won’t see God manifest. Want to see His power in your health? Finances? Relationships? Expose those areas to His Word. Speak it. Believe it. Live it. Stand on promises like: Psalm 23 – God is your Shepherd Psalm 91 – You dwell in divine protection Isaiah 53 – Healing is yours Romans 8 – Nothing can separate you from His love Conclusion Faith isn’t a church term, it’s a Kingdom lifestyle. Grace is not a passive doctrine, it’s divine empowerment. Let your life be a dance between what God has done and how you respond. Stay rooted in the Word. Keep your love walk active. Speak what God says. And live like it’s already done. That’s the Protocol of the God-Kind.

“Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king.” – 1 Peter 2:17 (KJV) God Is Big on Honour Honour is not just a cultural value, it’s a kingdom protocol. To honour means to esteem, to place value on, to treat highly, to deem of high worth what God calls valuable. In 1 Samuel 2:30, God made a powerful statement: “For them that honour me I will honour, and they that despise me shall be lightly esteemed.” He was speaking to Eli, a priest who failed to correct his sons as they dishonoured the temple. God’s standard is clear: honour is a lens through which He measures the heart. What Does God Honour? When you understand what God honours, you’ll know how to honour Him. In Scripture, we see that God values: People – every soul carries eternal value. Fellowship – intimacy with Him is priority. His Word – God watches over His Word more than anything else. To honour God is to value what He values. It’s not about lip service; it’s the posture of the heart and the fruit of our actions. Honour Is a Heart Matter In Malachi 1:6-9, Israel offered blemished animals to God keeping the best for themselves. God asked them: “If I be a father, where is mine honour?” We may not offer animals today, but we offer our time, service, resources, and worship. Are we giving our best, or just the bare minimum? “Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase…” – Proverbs 3:9-10 Honour means giving God first place, in time, in giving, in decisions, in everything. Honour Starts at Home God ties longevity and blessing to honouring our parents: “Honour thy father and thy mother… that thy days may be long…” Exodus 20:12; Ephesians 6:1-3 This command has never expired. Honour your parents. Speak well of them. Care for them. Bless them financially. Make life easier for them. You are doing it to the Lord. “Whoso curseth his father or his mother, His lamp shall be put out…” Proverbs 20:20 Even in the last days, a mark of decay is dishonour to parents (2 Timothy 3:1-2). But in the Kingdom, honour remains our compass. Honour the King – and All Men “Honour all men… Honour the king.” – 1 Peter 2:17 The “king” represents government and authority figures. Honour is not about whether they’re perfect, it’s about obeying God. Believers must not be found tearing down leaders on social media or with their words. Our speech must be seasoned with grace. Our tone must reflect heaven’s order. We honour not because of people, but because of our God. Honour in the Home and Church “Likewise, ye husbands… giving honour unto the wife… that your prayers be not hindered.” 1Peter 3:7 God designed relationships to function on the rails of honour. In marriage, in ministry, in friendship, where there is no honour, grace is hindered. “Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour…” – 1 Timothy 5:17 “Let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that teacheth…” – Galatians 6:6 Honour your spiritual leaders. Ask questions. Sow into them. Pray for them. Receive from them. God’s treasures are often hidden in the hearts of men. Where Honour Flows, God Flows “And he could there do no mighty work… because of their unbelief.” – Mark 6:5 In Nazareth, Jesus, God in the flesh was limited. Why? Dishonour. Where honour is absent, power is restricted. But where honour flows, power flows, revelation flows, healing flows, grace flows. The woman with the issue of blood received power because she came in honour. Peter cast his net again because he honoured the voice (Luke 5:1). Who Should We Honour? A Kingdom Checklist God has directed us to honour: God Himself – with our lives, giving, and worship (Proverbs 3:9). Parents – with love, service, and provision (Ephesians 6:1-3). Spiritual leaders – through double honour (1 Timothy 5:17). The poor – because God identifies with them (Proverbs 14:31). Widows and vulnerable people – 1 Timothy 5:3. Governments and authorities – 1 Peter 2:17. All people – because every person bears God’s image. Honour Is a Lifestyle Honour is more than a gesture, it’s a way of life. It’s how God sees. It’s how heaven operates. It is the protocol of the God-kind. And when honour is restored, the supernatural is released Conclusion Honour is not just a command, it’s a gateway. A channel for God’s glory to flow. Let it start from your heart, be seen in your speech, and expressed in your actions. Where honour lives, God moves.

In the Christian faith, our walk with God is both physical and spiritual. God’s protocols are designed to guide every area of our lives. They are divine patterns and instructions that bring order, peace, and power into the life of the believer. If you don’t know these protocols, you may go on thinking that God is absent or uninvolved in your life but he is always present. It is in the best interest of the believer to discover and live by the protocols of God. God has time, he lives in eternity but we do not. That is why obedience and alignment with His ways matter. Fear/Murmuring is a sign of Unbelief At one point, the Israelites felt as though God hated them (Numbers 13). Why? Because they were going through challenges and adversity. They misinterpreted the season they were in, forgetting the ways of God and ignoring his protocols. Human nature tends to dwell on bad news. When the twelve spies returned with their report, the children of Israel quickly forgot the promises of God even though he had already declared that he would give them the land. Instead of standing on his word, they slipped into fear and unbelief. This was expressed in their murmurings and complains. Murmuring begins when we forget the goodness of God. As we make a habit of rehearsing his goodness, remembering all he has done, we train our hearts to trust Him more. Thanksgiving is a powerful spiritual practice. It aligns us with God’s peace and refocuses us on His faithfulness. Thanksgiving activates Trust in the Lord The protocol of trust is activated through thanksgiving. The answer to anxiety is gratitude. “Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” – Philippians 4:6-7 (KJV) When we choose thanksgiving as a lifestyle, we become surrounded by the peace of God. That peace doesn’t always make sense to the world, but it keeps our hearts and minds secure in Christ. There will always be something to complain about and there will always be something to thank God for. The wise believer chooses to prioritize thanksgiving. Miracles can be activated by thanksgiving Miracles can be activated by Thanksgiving. Luke 17:14 tells the story of ten lepers whom Jesus healed. He told them to go and show themselves to the priests, and as they went, they were healed. They didn’t wait for visible results to begin their journey they obeyed. In the later part of this story, we see that one of them, seeing he was healed, returned to give thanks. And Jesus said to him: “Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole.” – Luke 17:19 (KJV) We must not reserve our praise until we see results. Our worship begins when God speaks not just when things happen. That’s what separates believers from skeptics. Faith rejoices at the word of God. “In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me.” Psalm 56:4 (KJV) True thanksgiving flows from knowing God’s word. If you don’t know what God has said, you won’t know what to thank Him for. But when the Word is alive in your heart, praise becomes your natural response even before the manifestation comes. Conclusion It is not “Christian” to be conservative with thanksgiving. Heaven is not quiet about God’s greatness so why should we be? Even when things don’t look like the promise yet, we still give thanks. We declare God’s Word persistently, speaking it until it becomes reality. This is how believers live. “Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised).” Hebrews 10:23 (KJV) Thanksgiving is not a reaction; it’s a protocol. It is not reserved for when things go our way, it is how we bring heaven’s atmosphere into our daily lives.

God wants everyone to be saved. Salvation is the greatest gift any human can receive but while God’s desire is that everyone be saved, there is a protocol, a specific divine order to receiving this gift. “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.” Romans 10:9 (KJV) According to Scripture, to become saved or to become a Christian, two key actions are required: Believe the gospel in your heart Confess Jesus Christ with your mouth What is the Gospel The gospel is the power of God unto salvation. “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.” – Romans 1:16 (KJV) The gospel of Christ is not just one of many ways to God, it is the only way. God has established the gospel as His exclusive means to save mankind. No alternative beliefs or philosophies can grant eternal life. Jesus said in the scripture below that he was annointed to preach the gospel to the poor, the explanation  after the semi column gives us an understanding of what he meant by “The Poor”. In this context, the Poor means the broken hearted, captives of sin, and so on. “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, Because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; He hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, And recovering of sight to the blind, To set at liberty them that are bruised,” – Luke 4:18 KJV There was an issue with men  that had to be fixed. Christ came to take our place in the judgement for sin and reconciled us back to God. God is no longer counting people’s sins against them because Christ paid for it. “All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people’s sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation.” – 2 Corinthians 5:18-19 NIV Believing the Gospel To believe the gospel is to fully accept the message that Jesus died, was buried, and rose again to save humanity from sin and reconcile us back to God. Believing in Him gives life. Without this belief, salvation cannot be received. Believing that there is a higher power or a supreme being is good. But these beliefs alone do not result in salvation. Salvation requires a personal and conscious belief in the gospel of Jesus Christ. Confessing Jesus as Lord Salvation does not end at belief. The second step is confession, a verbal declaration/affirmation that Jesus is Lord. This is more than just speaking words; it is an open acknowledgment of the Lordship of Jesus over your life. Confession is a physical action that reflects a spiritual reality. More often than not, the words a person speaks reveal what is truly in their heart. That is why both the heart and the mouth must be involved in receiving salvation. Conclusion God’s gift of salvation is free, but it is not automatic. It follows a divine order, a protocol established in His Word. To be saved: Believe the gospel in your heart Confess Jesus as Lord with your mouth No other path leads to eternal life. The gospel of Christ is the power of God unto salvation. If you have not yet followed this protocol, now is the time to make that life-changing decision. Let your heart believe and your mouth confess. The gift of salvation is waiting.

“Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the gate. By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name.” Hebrews 13:12, 15 (KJV) Thanksgiving and praise are two powerful expressions in our relationship with God. While they often go hand in hand, they are not the same. Thanksgiving is our heartfelt response to what God has done. It is the expression of gratitude for past blessings, victories, and mercies received. We thank God because we remember His faithfulness. Praise, on the other hand, goes deeper, it is our response to who God is. It highlights His nature, character, and majesty. Praise doesn’t wait for results; it simply exalts Him for being God. Both thanksgiving and praise are essential, but each serves a unique purpose in our spiritual lives. Christians sing songs of thanksgiving and worship to God from this understanding. At the center of our praise is redemption. The first and foremost reason believers give thanks is because of what God has done for us through Jesus Christ. Redemption is the new song of the believer. Praise Begins With Christ The foundation of thanksgiving in the life of a Christian is the finished work of Christ. He sanctified us with His own blood. That is why we are instructed to continually offer the sacrifice of praise, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to His name. Praise is first not about melody for the believer. The content of our songs matters as much as the rhythm. Songs of praise should reflect the truth of our salvation, the power of God, and the hope we have in Christ. Every worship session should teach and reinforce sound doctrine. Just like the sacrifices in the Old Testament had specifications, our praise must align with God’s standards. It must flow from our lips, from sincere hearts, and reflect the truth of our redemption. “Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy.” Psalm 107:2 (KJV) The Example of David King David gives us a rich example of how to offer true thanksgiving to God. “Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name. Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases…” Psalm 103:1–7 (KJV) Notice how David begins his thanksgiving with forgiveness of sins, not with material blessings. This teaches us that the mindset of every believer should be this: salvation is the greatest gift we will ever receive! Every other blessing flows from that one eternal gift. Thanksgiving in Prayer Even when Jesus taught His disciples how to pray, He began with worship and reverence. “After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.” Matthew 6:9 (KJV) Worship is not just something we do in church services, it is the way we begin every conversation with God. Praise sets the tone. Thanksgiving aligns our hearts with His will. Giving Thanks Is God’s Will God commands us to live lives filled with thanksgiving, no matter the season. “Rejoice evermore. Pray without ceasing. In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.” – 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 (KJV) It is God’s will that thanksgiving be the default posture of the believer. Not just when we receive something from Him, but at all times. Gratitude should not be conditional, it should be continual. The Power of Thanksgiving Thanksgiving does more than express gratitude. It releases power. When you give thanks, your heart is calmed and your mind is guarded. “And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:7 (KJV) “Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.” – Colossians 2:7 (KJV) In Scripture, we see that thanksgiving has tangible effects. In 2 Chronicles 20, praise led to victory in a battle. In Acts 16, Paul and Silas praised God in prison, and it led to a supernatural earthquake and their release. Even though the New Testament focuses more on instruction than physical demonstration, that does not mean we cannot experience physical results. It simply reminds us that obedience is key. Sometimes, just practicing the protocol of praise is where the miracle begins. A Lifestyle of Thanksgiving Finally, we are reminded in Hebrews 13 that thanksgiving must be continual. The believer should not wait for blessings before praising God. Thanksgiving must become a lifestyle. A state of heart. A permanent attitude. Conclusion Thanksgiving and praise are not just emotional responses, they are spiritual disciplines. They are the protocols of the God kind. When we thank God for redemption, obey His instruction, and sing songs filled with truth, we align ourselves with His will. In return, we experience His peace, power, and presence. Let your praise rise continually. Let your heart overflow with gratitude. Let your lips declare the goodness of God, not just for what He has done—but for who He is.

The purpose of the church is to win the world for Christ. If the church looses sight of its mission, the world will offer its own purpose as there is no room for vacuum on earth. Believers are tasked with the responsibility of reconciling men to God but they cannot be efficient in this assignment if they are yet to fully comprehend redemption.. Christ has made the down payment to fulfil the law and redeemed us from sin. However, many still battle sin in various forms. To live a victorious life in Christ, we must understand and embrace God’s protocol for overcoming sin. Sin Is the Problem, But Love Is the Cure In many Christian circles, the conversation often centers on sin but God calls us to shift our focus. Rather than becoming sin-conscious, we are to become love-conscious. When your heart is set on love, sin loses its grip. What you meditate on becomes your reality. If you constantly focus on sin, that will be your experience. Sin is the problem, love is the cure. Romans 13 : 8-13 KJV “Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law. For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law. And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light. Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.” This scripture gives us a powerful roadmap for living above sin. If you embrace love, you will stop living a sinful life. Love is other people minded, the law was given by God because of the hardened state of the heart of man after the fall to ensure love was practiced. A man walking in love will not steal from his neighbour neither will he or she bring harm to the other.  Sin for a believer is not walking in love. “Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.” – James 4:17 KJV Love Is a Gift and a Command God loved us first. “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:8 KJV Then He gave us His Spirit. After that, He instructed us to love others. “Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, soul, mind, and strength… and thy neighbour as thyself. There is no greater commandment.” Mark 12:30-31 KJV Through the Holy Spirit, the love of God has been poured into our hearts. We are not merely recipients of love; we now carry love as our spiritual DNA. “The love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.” Romans 5:5 KJV This love is not abstract, we know it by experience and now have it as an ability. Love enables us to treat others with compassion. As believers, our actions are weighed by love, God looks at our heart to judge our intentions . Every moment we step outside love, we step into sin. Love in Action: The Currency for the miraculous Whether in marriage, family, or friendship, love is the currency that keeps God’s presence active in our lives. God measures every deed through the lens of love. We cannot claim to walk with God and leave love out of our decisions. The Believer’s response to Love: Seek the Kingdom First After receiving God’s love, what should become our prior it? Seeking God’s kingdom first!. The believer does not chase after things. For all things have been made available to us in Christ. God takes pride in being your Father. That is His identity and your confidence. Seeking is not passive. It is deliberate and visible. If you are truly seeking God, others will see it. This should be the underpinning factor for every of your decisions and actions. It should show in how and where you spend your time, resources and abilities. Even our prayers should reflect this priority: Kingdom first. Many want to mix God’s way with the world’s systems and then blame God when things fall apart. But God operates through order. For His power to manifest in your life, His divine protocols must be followed. Conclusion God’s love is more than a feeling. It is a lifestyle. When love becomes your focus, sin loses its grip. When the Kingdom becomes your pursuit, purpose becomes clear. Let us walk in the protocols of the God kind because in love, we please the lord.
