Today, we look at the potent combination of prayer and spiritual discernment. As we've already discussed the reality of spiritual warfare and the dangers of hidden enemies, it's critical that we understand the role that prayer plays in exposing the enemy's schemes.

I'd like to share the story of the estate landlord, which emphasises the importance of prayer and discernment in identifying hidden enemies.

The Lanlord's Story paraphrased:

We had faced numerous challenges and attempts to steal our property as the estate landlord. We had evicted those we considered to be opponents of progress, but we had no idea that one of our tenants, who appeared to be a sympathiser and a born-again believer, had ulterior motives. Despite her outward religious display, she had brought witch doctors to our property and was actively working against our development efforts. We were only able to discover her true intentions through prayer and seeking God's guidance. The estate Landlord's experience teaches us the importance of prayer and spiritual discernment in recognising the hidden enemies among us. Hallelujah!

Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,

There are numerous examples in the Bible where prayer revealed hidden enemies and brought God's people victory. One such example can be found in Acts 16:16–18, where Paul and Silas encountered a slave girl possessed by a divination spirit. They discerned the source of her power through prayer and cast out the evil spirit, freeing her. This demonstrates the power of prayer to reveal hidden enemies and dismantle their hold on our lives. You too can use the power of prayer to reveal hidden enemies and dismantle their hold on your life.

Another powerful example can be found in 2 Kings 6:8–23, where Elisha and his servant were surrounded by the enemy army. Elisha prayed for the eyes of his servant to be opened, and then he saw the hills filled with horses and chariots of fire, representing God's angelic army. Elisha and his servant gained spiritual discernment through prayer, realising that their true adversary was not the physical army but the spiritual forces behind it. This enabled them to defeat their opponents and achieve victory. With the Holy Spirit, may you gain spiritual discernment through prayer so that you can determine your adversary by the spiritual force that manifests itself in the physical. Hallelujah!

These biblical stories emphasise the importance of prayer and seeking God's guidance in identifying hidden enemies. I emphasise to you that If you are a believer, do not rely solely on your physical eyes. It is critical to understand that the power of prayer allows us to see beyond the physical realm and exposes the enemy's schemes. Do not take prayer for granted. Prayer's power aligns you with God's will and empowers you to overcome the enemy's attacks. Hallelujah!

I encourage you to always make an effort to cultivate a strong prayer life and to seek spiritual discernment. Make prayer a daily priority, seeking God's guidance and wisdom in all aspects of your life. By doing this honestly, God will reveal hidden enemies and provide you with the discernment needed to navigate spiritual warfare as you cultivate an even deeper relationship with God through prayer.

In conclusion, prayer and spiritual discernment are essential tools for unmasking the hidden enemy in our midst. Regardless of who you are, through prayer, you can expose the schemes of the enemy and experience victory in your life. In the mighty name of our Lord Christ Jesus, I implore you to commit to a life of prayer, seeking God's guidance and discernment, so that you may walk in God's protection and overcome the hidden enemies who seek to hinder your progress. Let us pray.

Prayer:

Dear Father in Heaven, I give You praise and thanks for Your love, grace, and wisdom. I come to You, asking You to open my eyes to the spiritual warfare going on around me. Give me the power of prayer and spiritual discernment, as shown in the stories of the estate landlord, Paul and Silas, and Elisha and his servant in Acts 16:16–18 and 2 Kings 6:8–23.
Lord, teach me to rely on my spiritual eyes as well as my physical eyes to see beyond the physical realm and expose the enemy's schemes. I understand that the power of prayer aligns me with Your will and empowers me to overcome my adversaries' attacks.
Help me to prioritise prayer and seek Your guidance and wisdom in all aspects of my life. I trust that as I cultivate a strong prayer life and seek spiritual discernment, You will reveal hidden enemies and provide me with the insight needed to navigate spiritual warfare.
In the mighty name of my Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, I commit myself to a life of prayer and discernment so that I may walk in Your protection and triumph over the hidden enemies who seek to obstruct my progress. As I face these challenges, I am grateful for Your unending love and support. I have prayed in the powerful name of Christ Jesus, Amen.

You have been Church-Built and healed. Please voluntarily and sincerely give thanks to the Lord for His unfailing love in all circumstances. This is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. Pray, tithe, and sow healing seeds to Him, who can do immeasurably more than you ask or imagine. Act in faith and obedience, and be doers of the word, not just hearers.

Yours in Christ,

"Unmasking the Hidden Enemy: Recognizing Spiritual Warfare in Our Midst", Topic 2. The Danger of hidden enemies

Before you continue, please take a look at what this content's sponsor can do for you in this 1-minute video:

Praise God, Church Family of Faith!

We discussed the reality of spiritual warfare and how it affects our lives in our previous sermon. Today, we continue our discussion of "Unmasking the Hidden Enemy: Recognising Spiritual Warfare in Our Midst" by addressing the threat of hidden enemies. Just like the story I shared about the tenant, sometimes we fail to recognise the true intentions of those around us. These hidden enemies can hinder our progress, cause division, and disrupt peace. As we navigate the spiritual battles that surround us, it is critical that we be cautious and discerning in our relationships.

Ephesians 6:12 (AMP):
"For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places."

The true nature of spiritual warfare is emphasised in Ephesians 6:12. This scripture reminds us that our battle is not just against humans but also against spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. As a result, the hidden enemies we encounter are not always visible or easily identified. They could be working behind the scenes, using deception and manipulation to stymie our progress, sow discord, and disrupt peace. Understanding this truth encourages us to be cautious and discerning in our relationships, knowing that our battles are not limited to flesh and blood.

Dear Christian brothers and sisters, As our second topic in "Unmasking the Hidden Enemy: Recognising Spiritual Warfare in Our Midst," we address the danger of hidden enemies today.

Topic 2. The Danger of Hidden Enemies:

Let us look at the dangers of hidden enemies in two parts.

1. Part 1: The Dangers of Hidden Enemies:

a. Hidden Enemies Obstruct Progress:

Hidden enemies frequently work behind the scenes to undermine your efforts and impede your progress. They may appear friendly and supportive, but their true intentions are to hold us back, just like the tenant in the story. In the book of Nehemiah, we see how Sanballat and Tobiah were hidden enemies who sought to hinder the progress of rebuilding the walls of Jerusalem. They mocked and ridiculed the builders in an attempt to discourage them from finishing the job (Nehemiah 4:1–3, AMP).

b. Hidden Enemies Cause Division:

Hidden adversaries thrive on sowing discord and division. They manipulate situations and relationships, causing strife and conflicts within your lives and communities. We read about a hidden foe named Alexander the coppersmith in the book of Acts. He opposed Paul's teachings and caused division within the church by spreading false and harmful accusations against believers (2 Timothy 4:14–15, AMP).

c. Hidden Enemies Disrupt Peace:

These unseen adversaries disrupt the peace that God desires for us. They bring chaos, confusion, and turmoil, making it difficult for you to experience the peace that surpasses all understanding. In the book of Esther, we see Haman as a hidden enemy who sought to disrupt the Jewish people's peace. He devised a plan to destroy them, instilling fear and distress in the community (Esther 3:8–9, AMP).

To address the dangers of the hidden enemy. As Christians, you must be cautious and discernible, as we will see in Part 2.

2. Part 2. Being Cautious and Discerning:

a. Recognising the Signs and symptoms:

You must be on the lookout for indicators of hidden enemies. Keep an eye out for inconsistencies, negative patterns, and the results of their actions. Seek the Holy Spirit's guidance to see beyond the surface. Christ Jesus warns his disciples in the book of Matthew about false prophets who appear as sheep but are actually ravenous wolves. He tells them to identify these hidden enemies by their fruits, because a good tree bears good fruit and a bad tree bears bad fruit (Matthew 7:15–20, AMP).

b. Safeguarding Our Hearts:

Proverbs 4:23 tells us to guard our hearts because everything we do flows from them. Allowing people into your inner circle requires caution and discernment about their intentions and character. Solomon advises his son in Proverbs to guard his heart above all else because it determines the course of his life. He cautions against allowing deceitful and wicked people into his inner circle, emphasising the importance of discernment and heart protection (Proverbs 4:23–27, AMP).

c. Seeking Wisdom from God:

You must seek God's wisdom in all of your relationships and interactions. In order to navigate the complexities of spiritual warfare, pray for discernment and guidance and rely on God's Word. When faced with trials and temptations, as believers, we are encouraged in the book of James to seek God's wisdom. You are reminded that if you lack wisdom, you should seek it from God, who gives generously to all without discrimination (James 1:5–6, AMP). Therefore, Seeking wisdom from God in discerning hidden enemies and navigating spiritual battles is part of this.

Finally, keep in mind that we all have hidden enemies in our lives and communities. They can hinder our progress, cause division, and disrupt peace. However, in Christ Jesus, we have the power and authority to expose these hidden enemies and defeat their schemes. In our relationships, let us be cautious and discerning, always seeking God's wisdom and guidance. May we be strong in the face of spiritual warfare, knowing that God is with us and fighting for us. Let us all pray.

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, I thank you for the revelation of hidden enemies and the dangers they pose in our lives. I pray for discernment and wisdom to recognise their presence and intentions. Help me to guard my heart and be cautious in my relationships. Empower me to overcome their schemes and walk in the victory that Christ Jesus has already won for us. In Christ Jesus' mighty name, I have prayed, Amen.

Yours in Christ,

Praise God, Church Family of Faith!

Today we unmask the hidden enemy as we recognise spiritual warfare in our midst using the story of the landlord's experience with the tenant and the revelation of the tenant's true intentions:

"I am an estate landlord." There is this tenant who has been living in the houses for quite some time. She has witnessed all of the people who attempted to rob us of our property, including using witchcraft and conspiring with local authorities, but God saw us through. Soon after evicting all people we thought were enemies of progress with personal intentions of stealing our property, someone informs us that the lady tenant we thought was a sympathiser and a born-again believer who drinks crude alcohol (quite a curious and controversial action) and keeps gospel music playing in her house all day actually brought a team of witch doctors to the place. We dismissed it as hearsay, but the more we tried to develop the area, the more she complained. But because we believe God will push us through any obstacle, we continued to pray despite the setbacks, and by grace, we always made progress. We recently discovered that development progress has slowed, and she and her people have begun paying late. I go deeper into prayer, and her voice appears, saying, "I am so bad." You mistook me for a friend. I'll never be your pal. You think you can keep taking our rent and telling us to leave, and we'll be happy. I have always been the driving force behind all actions and witchcraft to ensure that we all suffer equally. You have blocked all of our witchcraft, and any witchcraft we do for you instead hits us. We had made plans to use your location behind your back while disguised, but every time we try to start our deals, you interfere." It was only after this that we realised our adversary was so close and had always been too close for us to notice. That is my experience.

Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,

From the story of the landlord's experience with the tenant and the revelation of the tenant's true intentions, we Discover the reality of spiritual warfare and learn how to recognise the hidden enemy's tactics that hinder our progress. Find encouragement and strategies to overcome obstacles and walk in victory as our first topic drawn from this story.

Topic 1. The Reality of Spiritual Warfare:

Spiritual warfare is a real battle that Christians face. Spiritual warfare is not a mere metaphor or a concept to be taken lightly. The Bible clearly speaks about the existence of spiritual warfare and warns us of the enemy's tactics. Hallelujah!

In Ephesians 6:12 (AMP), the apostle Paul writes, "For our struggle is not against flesh and blood [contending only with physical opponents], but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this [present] darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly (supernatural) places." Ephesians 6:12 reminds us that our battle is not against human beings but against spiritual forces that seek to hinder our progress and harm us.

Furthermore, 1 Peter 5:8 (AMP) states, "Be sober [well balanced and self-disciplined]; be alert and cautious at all times. That enemy of yours, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion [fiercely hungry], seeking someone to devour." 1 Peter 5:8 emphasises the need for vigilance and discernment in identifying the enemy's schemes. The devil is constantly seeking to devour and destroy believers, and we must be aware of his tactics. Hallelujah!

It is crucial for you to recognise the reality of spiritual warfare because it affects every aspect of your life. The enemy seeks to hinder your progress, disrupt your relationships, and most of all, undermine your faith. The enemy uses various tactics such as deception, temptation, and discouragement to weaken your resolve and divert you from God's purposes.

As believers, you must be equipped with the armour of God (Ephesians 6:13–18) and be rooted in prayer and the Word of God. You need to be discerning, constantly seeking God's guidance and protection. By recognising the reality of spiritual warfare, you can actively engage in the battle and overcome the enemy's attacks as guided by the scriptures.

In conclusion, spiritual warfare is not a distant concept or a myth. Spiritual warfare is a real battle that Christians face. I remind you that you must be aware of the enemy's tactics and be vigilant in identifying his schemes. By relying on God's strength and equipping ourselves with God's armour, we can overcome the hidden enemy and experience victory in our lives. Please don't forget to pray. Let us pray.

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, I thank you for revealing to me the reality of spiritual warfare. I acknowledge that my battle is not against flesh and blood but against the spiritual forces of wickedness. Help me to be vigilant and discerning, always seeking Your guidance and protection. Strengthen me with Your armour and empower me to overcome the enemy's attacks. May I walk in victory and experience the abundant life You have promised me. In Christ Jesus' mighty name, I have prayed, Amen.

Building a Stronger Connection with God Almighty

John 3:3 (AMP):
"Jesus answered him, 'I assure you and most solemnly say to you, unless a person is born again [reborn from above—spiritually transformed, renewed, sanctified], he cannot [ever] see and experience the kingdom of God.'"

Before you continue, please take a look at what this content's sponsor can do for you in this 1-minute video:

Praise God, Church Family of Faith!

In John 3:3, Christ Jesus speaks to Nicodemus about the necessity of being born again to enter the kingdom of God. This spiritual rebirth signifies a transformation, renewal, and sanctification of the individual. It is through this new birth that we can establish a stronger connection with God Almighty. Hallelujah!

Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,

Today, let us explore ways of building a stronger connection with our Heavenly Father. In today's world filled with distractions, wars, hatred, and temptations, it is crucial for you as believers to deepen your relationship with God, fostering a stronger sense of faith, trust, and guidance in navigating your journey through life.

To deepen your relationship with God, let's look at three guiding points on how you can build a stronger connection with our Heavenly Father:

1. Point 1. Start by personally Recognising your Failure to Build a Stronger Connection with God. This failure can be recognised in a. a lack of prioritisation of spiritual growth and b. neglecting your personal relationship with God.

a. Your first failure is usually a lack of Prioritisation of spiritual growth.

It is easy to fail to build a stronger connection with God because you prioritise worldly pursuits over spiritual growth. This failure happens when you allow the busyness of life to consume your time and energy to the extent of leaving you little or no room for God. Matthew 6:33 (AMP) says, "But first and most importantly seek (aim at, strive after) His kingdom and His righteousness [His way of doing and being right—the attitude and character of God], and all these things will be given to you also." Check yourself against Matthew 6:33 here and personally recognise your failure to build a stronger connection with God.

b. Your second failure points to Neglecting the Personal Relationship with God:

Many of you today rely solely on religious rituals and traditions, neglecting your personal relationship with God. You go through the motions without truly seeking a deeper connection with God. It is written in James 4:8a (AMP) that, "Come close to God [with a contrite heart] and He will come close to you." Check yourself against James 4:8a here and personally recognise your failure to build a stronger connection with God.

2. Point 2. The second is Exploring the Power of Being Born Again: Do not take Being Born Again for granted. It comes with power, which you need to manifest in a. Spiritual Transformation, and b. Renewed Faith and Trust.

a. First, Be Born again and experience the power of Spiritual Transformation:

Being born again brings about a spiritual transformation within you. Being born again is a renewal of your hearts and minds, enabling you to experience the kingdom of God in a profound way. 2 Corinthians 5:17 (AMP) puts it that, "Therefore if anyone is in Christ [that is, grafted in, joined to Him by faith in Him as Savior], he is a new creature [reborn and renewed by the Holy Spirit]; the old things [the previous moral and spiritual condition] have passed away. Behold, new things have come [because spiritual awakening brings a new life]." You must be Born again to experience, through the power of the Holy Spirit, Spiritual Transformation.

b. Second, experience Renewed Faith and Trust in God:

Through the new birth of Being born again, your faith and trust in God are strengthened. You begin to rely on God more fully, knowing that God is your source of guidance, provision, and protection. This is made clear in Proverbs 3:5–6 (AMP), where it is written, "Trust in and rely confidently on the Lord with all your heart and do not rely on your own insight or understanding. In all your ways know and acknowledge and recognize Him, and He will make your paths straight and smooth [removing obstacles that block your way]." You must be Born again to experience consistently Renewed Faith and Trust in God.

3. Point 3: Nurturing a Stronger Connection with God: This does come with a consistent personal effort of a. Prayer and Communion, and b. Studying God's Word.

a. First, Prayer and Communion:

Regular and heartfelt prayer is essential to building a stronger connection with God. It is through prayer that you communicate with God, sharing your joys, concerns, and desires. Philippians 4:6-7 (AMP) emphasises that, "Do not be anxious or worried about anything, but in everything [every circumstance and situation] by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, continue to make your [specific] requests known to God. And the peace of God [that peace which reassures the heart, that peace] which transcends all understanding, [that peace which] stands guard over your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus [is yours]." Please pray all the time and in all circumstances. Don't only pray for your worries. Connect with God in every circumstance and situation.

b. Second is Studying God's Word:

Regularly immersing yourselves in the study of God's Word allows you to understand God's character, God's promises, and God's will for your lives. Studying God's Word deepens your knowledge of God and strengthens your connection with God. This is not new, as it is written about the word of God in Psalm 119:105 (AMP) that "Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path." Make an effort to study the word of God all the time, and every time you can intentionally avail yourself of it.

I believe it is now clear to you that building a stronger connection with God Almighty is a lifelong journey. Through the power of the new birth, you can experience a spiritual transformation, renewed faith, and a deeper sense of trust in God. Building a stronger connection with God Almighty requires prioritising your relationship with God, seeking God wholeheartedly, and nurturing that connection through prayer and studying God's Word. Hallelujah!

I conclude and ask you to commit yourselves today to building a stronger connection with God. Prioritise God above all else, seeking God's kingdom and righteousness first. Come close to God with contrite hearts, knowing that God will draw near to you. Through the power of the Holy Spirit, let you experience the transformation and renewal that come from Being born again.

As you embark on this journey, remember to pray fervently, pouring out your hearts to God and seeking God's guidance and provision. Let us immerse ourselves in the study of God's Word, allowing God's Word to illuminate our path and shape our understanding of God. May your lives be a testament to the power of a strong connection with God Almighty. Let us pray for those who feel they need a stronger connection with God.

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, I come before You today, seeking to build a stronger connection with You. I acknowledge my failures and shortcomings in prioritising my relationship with You. I ask for Your forgiveness and guidance as I embark on this journey of deepening my faith and trust in You.

Lord, I thank You for the power of the new birth and for the transformation and renewal that it brings. Help me to fully embrace this new life in Christ Jesus and to live in accordance with Your will. Fill me with Your Holy Spirit so that I may experience a deeper sense of faith, trust, and guidance in my life.

Father, I commit myself to prayer and communion with You. Teach me to pray fervently, to pour out my heart to You, and to trust in Your provision and guidance. Help me to be diligent in studying Your Word so that I may know You more intimately and understand Your plans and purposes for my life.

Lord, I pray that my life may be a reflection of the strong connection I have with You. May others see Your love, grace, and power at work in me. Use me as a vessel of Your light and truth, that I may bring glory to Your mighty name. In Christ Jesus' mighty name, I have prayed, Amen.

Yours in Christ,

Overcoming Challenges and Adversities

Romans 8:37 (AMP):
"But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us [so much that He died for us]."

Before you continue, please take a look at what this content's sponsor can do for you in this 1-minute video:

Praise God, Church Family of Faith!

The book of Romans was written by the apostle Paul for the believers in Rome. In Romans 8:37, Paul emphasises the power and victory that believers have through Christ Jesus. The phrase "overwhelmingly conquer" implies that we are not just barely getting by or surviving, but we are triumphing and prevailing in every situation. It is through the love of our Lord Christ Jesus, demonstrated by His sacrificial death, that we can overcome any challenge or adversity that comes our way. Hallelujah!

In today's world, the concept of overcoming challenges and adversities has been distorted. Many believe that it means avoiding difficulties altogether or relying solely on one's own strength and abilities; this is for the world, not believers. As believers, overcoming challenges and adversities is not about avoiding them or relying on ourselves. Overcoming challenges and adversities is about recognising our dependence on God Almighty and allowing His power to work in and through us. Hallelujah!

Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,

Today, I address overcoming challenges and adversities. To explore ways of overcoming challenges and adversities in your life, you need to be aware that Life is filled with trials, hardships, and obstacles that can often leave you feeling overwhelmed and defeated. As born-again believers, these challenges and adversities should not stop you from attaining victory; you have a source of strength, resilience, and hope that the world does not possess. Hallelujah!

Let us understand this source of strength, resilience, and hope in overcoming challenges and adversities in three points:

1. Point 1. The Power of Being Born Again:

Being born again is far beyond a religious concept; it is a life-transforming experience. When you personally accept Christ Jesus as your Lord and Saviour, you are spiritually reborn and become a new creation in Christ Jesus (2 Corinthians 5:17). It is this new birth that brings you, as believers, into a personal relationship with God and fills you with God's Holy Spirit, who empowers you to overcome any challenge or adversity that you may face.

2. Point 2. Strength in the Face of Challenges:

In times of difficulty, it is crucial to remember that your strength does not come from your own abilities or circumstances. As believers, your strength comes from the LORD (Psalm 28:7). When you face challenges, you can tap into the unlimited power of God, who is your refuge and fortress (Psalm 46:1). As a believer, you don't just barely get by or survive; through Christ Jesus, you triumph and prevail in every situation. God equips you with the strength to endure and overcome, even when you feel weak and helpless.

3. Point 3: Resilience and Hope Through Faith:

Faith is the key that unlocks the door to overcoming challenges and adversities. It is through faith that you can see beyond your present circumstances and trust in God's promises. The Bible tells you that faith is the assurance of things hoped for and the conviction of things not seen (Hebrews 11:1). When you anchor your faith in God's unfailing love and faithfulness, you can face any challenge with unwavering hope and resilience.

In conclusion, therefore, let us remember that overcoming challenges and adversities is not a one-time event but a lifelong journey. It requires a daily surrender to God, a reliance on His strength, and a steadfast faith in His promises. Let us commit ourselves to seeking God's guidance and wisdom in every situation, knowing that He is with us every step of the way. Let us pray.

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, I come before you today, acknowledging my need for your strength and guidance in overcoming challenges and adversities. Help me to fully grasp the power of being born again and to rely on your strength in the face of difficulties. Fill me with resilience and hope through my faith in you. May my life be a testimony of your transforming power. In Christ Jesus' mighty name, I have prayed, Amen.

Heavenly Father, as I celebrate a believer's win, we come before you today with hearts full of gratitude and joy, celebrating the victory and recognition received (SagaPoll Bathroom Scan Challenge) in the SagaPoll survey. We thank you for the rewards of diligence and the opportunity to share this message of congratulations and encouragement with our church family.

Lord, we acknowledge the value of diligence and hard work, knowing that our efforts, when invested wisely, can yield fruitful results. Help us to always work from the soul, putting in our very best effort in everything we do, as unto you and not for men. Your Word in Colossians 3:23 reminds us to work from our souls, giving our best effort in all that we do, as unto you and not for men.

As we embrace opportunities for growth, we pray that you open our eyes to the valuable insights and knowledge that can be gained through market research. Guide us to seize these opportunities to broaden our understanding of market trends and consumer behaviour so that we may contribute to the betterment of society.

Father, we commit to upholding laws and ethical practises in all our endeavours. Just as SagaPoll adheres to legal guidelines to ensure privacy and security, may we also demonstrate integrity and responsible citizenship in our actions. Help us to be subject to the governing authorities, recognising that all authority comes from you.

Lastly, Lord, we recognise the power of collective insights. We understand that our voices matter and that, through SagaPoll, we have the opportunity to influence the direction of various sectors and the importance of unity and collaboration, as stated in 1 Corinthians 12:12–13. May we always remember that we are one body in Christ, united together by the Holy Spirit. Guide us to use our collective wisdom and insights to bring about positive change in the world around us.

As we celebrate this survey win, we pray for continued success and blessings for SagaPoll and all its participants. May your favour rest upon them, and may they continue to make a difference in the field of market research. In Christ Jesus' mighty name, we have prayed. Amen.

Yours in Christ,
