As we conclude the first month of 2026, it is both timely and necessary to pause and critically reassess our lives. This act of reflection allows us to determine whether we have truly set the right perspective and directives in alignment with the divine intention of the Lord for our lives. Such examination is not…
by Isaiah-Phillips Akintola Understanding Ministry in God’s Kairos Moments. The Burden of The Word. In recent days, I have encountered individuals who are felt weary, worried, and confused about their ministry, particularly around Pastoring. I met someone who said they are going back to secular life. They feel that church and ministry are not working….
The art of intercession is beyond our traditional concept of prayer. It calls us into a deep and profound comprehension of a sacrificial way of lifestyle that collaborates with the forces of heaven to bring about reformation and transformation to society. It flows from a selfless heart, fully and wholly devoted to God’s kingdom purposes and prophetic mandate for man and creation. When we intercede, we step into a sacred calling, standing in the gap in relentless love and courage, aligning earthly realities with the divine will to shift the course of human affairs for individuals, communities, and entire nations.
Vision is the foundational element that defines everything else. It determines the kind of mindset or disciplined lifestyle we must pursue, shapes our understanding of what society or community should be, and establishes the framework for the systems we construct.

We cannot build a successful, viable society without the right mindset and system that will make it work. These three elements (vision, mindset, and system) form an inseparable triad that determines whether communities flourish or flounder. The type of mindset we cultivate and the systems we build are not arbitrary choices but must be directly defined by the kind of vision we hold for our society, our family, or our community.

This pattern is woven throughout history, particularly in the history of the children of Israel. Consider Daniel, who after seventy years in exile was able to kickstart the process of returning God’s people from Babylon.
As individuals entrusted with a divine mandate, we must consistently and regularly invite the Lord to align our hearts, minds, and spirits with the visionary purpose and mission we bear as representatives of God’s redemptive prophetic guidance for the world.
PORTALSGATE VISION REFRESHER. There is a prevailing fallacy in the body of Chris that is spreading with its dangerous, misleading, and misunderstanding which is, if God gives you a vision, it will automatically be celebrated, loved, accepted, and supported. Many believe that divine vision will make life easier, open doors of opportunity, bring financial provision,…
