FIRST SERMON OF 2026 BY M.TOMMY - DRIVER OF GODLY PROGRESS

DRIVER OF GOD PROGRESS

It's January 5, 2026, and Peace Ark Ministry service resumes for the year. The man of God has come with a fresh unction to usher the people into God's presence. M. Tommy states the need for Christians to understand what it takes to activate and maintain Godly progress. He started his message by saying, "For us to make a difference this new year, we must improve upon what we already know.

Reading from Proverbs 22:29, which says, "Do you see someone skilled in their work? They will serve before kings; they will not serve before officials of low rank," he drew that one of the drivers for Godly progress is competence. He defines competence as the ability to carry out a task successfully and efficiently. Stating that if competence is not seen in our jobs and deliveries, we won't be able to attract meaningful people, "Until your job is excellently done, it won't attract well-meaning people," he added.

Christians should learn to exhibit excellence, competence, and skills in every task and not cover up their laziness with prayers. It's good to pray and fast, but faith without works is dead. As we pray, let's improve on our skills so that our prayers can find expression. If we spend time fasting and praying but don't have the right knowledge of our job and career, we will be disappointed afterwards because God will have nothing to answer. When one prays for a contract, connection, etc., God would send men, but what if they come and your product, services, and deliveries are not up to standard?

No miracle will happen because your faith in prayers doesn't have works to back it up.

Decide to improve this year; decide to wear competence and express it through your craft, job, career, etc., so that your prayer will have a basis. If your prayer has a basis, that's as good as an answer. Be intentional in 2026 and see life change.
