THE PILGRIMS GUIDE

FRIDAY AUGUST 21, 2026

BE AT PEACE IN THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD

A WORD FROM THE WORD:

"Be at peace in the knowledge that I am God: I will be lifted up among the nations, I will be honoured through all the earth." Psalm 46:10 BBE.

In this boisterous and noisy world that is replete with pressures, demands, and constant hiccups, God, is through the psalmist, and by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit in our anchor Scripture, calling His people to the stillness that comes from the peace of the knowledge that He is God. Being at peace (or being still, NIV) is an act of faith that acknowledges God’s Omnipotence and Sovereignty over every situation. It demonstrates choosing confidence in God’s power over the anxieties about outcomes.

Many times, we tend to move too fast for God to speak clearly to and about us, but stillness creates the enabling environment for divine clarity, direction, and peace. When your heart is still and experiences the peace that comes from the knowledge of God, confusion settles, fear loses its hold, and faith is restored.

Replete in the Scripture are situations where God revealed Himself in moments of peaceful surrender; an instant example is Elijah's encounter with God, not in the wind or fire, but in a gentle whisper (1 Kings 19:11-13). The LORD Jesus would often retreat to quiet places to pray, even in the midst of pressing demands (Mark 1:35).
Stillness is where perspective returns, and power is sustained where stillness is practiced. I would counsel that you resist the urge to panic, force results, or rush decisions. Let God be God. When you are at peace in the knowledge of God, He fights, speaks, restores, and reigns.

PRAYER BULLETS:

Father LORD, thank You. I ask You for the grace to be still, know, and recognise Your Sovereignty, as You become exalted in my life.

Luke 12:22-24 ESV
And he said to his disciples, "Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat, nor about your body, what you will put on. [23] For life is more than food, and the body more than clothing. [24] Consider the ravens: they neither sow nor reap, they have neither storehouse nor barn, and yet God feeds them. Of how much more value are you than the birds!

The Key to Breakthrough

Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
James 5:16

Did you know over 70% of Messiah’ ministry focused on healing the sick, casting out demons, and performing miracles? In Acts 10:38, Luke beautifully summarizes His work, “Yahwah anointed Messiah of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed of the devil, for Yahwah was with Him.”

Messiah went around healing how many? All who were oppressed! The wonderful news is He continues to heal today. Hebrews 13:8 reminds us, “Messiah is the same yesterday, today, and forever.”

You may be wondering—why don’t we witness more miracles in our lives? why don’t we witness more miracles and healings in our lives? The answer could be simple—we often don’t ask. James 4:2 states, “...Ye have not because you ask not.” In Matthew 7:7, Messiah encourages us, “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you."

You might say I’ve asked and asked and still have not received my miracle or healing!” Please remember Yahwah is not on our time clock. If I had my way when found out I had hepatitis C I would have been healed immediately. But my eventual healing was not on my time but Yahwah’s!

We also have to remember what it says in the end of Matthew 5:45 “…for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.

Friend, in walking with Messiah for 36 years, I’ve learned Yahwah delights in answering our prayers! Is there something you’re believing Yahwah for right now? Does it feel like it’s taking a long time to come to pass? Be encouraged - Yahwah’s Word assures us that through faith and patience, we will inherit His promises.

If you stay in faith and keep seeking, your breakthrough is on the horizon!

The Bible’s Big Story

The Bible is one unified book telling the story of God’s glory through creation, humanity’s rebellion, God’s covenant promises, and their complete fulfillment in Jesus Christ. Everything moves toward Christ’s preeminence. The Old Testament prepares the way; the New Testament reveals Him as the fulfillment. Together they form 66 inspired books—39 in the Old Testament and 27 in the New.

The Old Testament (39 Books): God’s Promises and Preparation

The Old Testament shows God creating the world, choosing a people, giving them His law, and promising a coming King who would fix what sin broke. It repeatedly points forward to the Messiah.

Law (Pentateuch – 5 books): Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy.
These lay the foundation. Genesis shows creation, the fall, and God’s first promises. Exodus–Deuteronomy record God’s rescue of Israel from Egypt, the giving of the Torah at Sinai, and the covenant instructions for a holy people.

Historical Books (12 books): Joshua, Judges, Ruth, 1–2 Samuel, 1–2 Kings, 1–2 Chronicles, Ezra, Nehemiah, Esther.
They trace Israel’s life in the Promised Land, their cycles of obedience and rebellion, the rise and fall of the monarchy, exile in Babylon, and return. They demonstrate that human kings fail, but God remains faithful to His promises.

Wisdom and Poetry (5 books): Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Song of Solomon.
These teach how to live wisely under God’s rule. They explore suffering, worship, daily righteousness, the emptiness of life without God, and the beauty of covenant love.

Prophets (17 books):
Major Prophets (5): Isaiah, Jeremiah, Lamentations, Ezekiel, Daniel.
Minor Prophets (12): Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk,
Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah, Malachi.

The prophets confront idolatry, call for repentance, warn of judgment, and repeatedly promise a coming Deliverer, a new covenant, and a kingdom that will never end.

The entire Old Testament builds expectation: a seed of the woman, a descendant of Abraham, a prophet like Moses, a son of David, a suffering servant, and a King who will reign forever.

The New Testament (27 Books): Christ’s Arrival and the New Creation

The New Testament announces that Jesus is the promised King. He is the preeminent One in whom all God’s promises find their “Yes” (2 Corinthians 1:20). It shows His life, death, resurrection, the birth of the church, and the final renewal of all things.

Gospels (4 books): Matthew, Mark, Luke, John.
These present Jesus from four angles: as King (Matthew), servant (Mark), perfect man (Luke), and eternal God (John). They record His teaching, miracles, crucifixion for sins, and resurrection.

History (1 book): Acts.
Luke’s second volume shows the Holy Spirit empowering the early church to take the gospel from Jerusalem to the ends of the earth. It records the rapid spread of the message that Jesus is Lord.

Letters (21 books):
Paul’s Letters (13): Romans, 1–2 Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, 1–2 Thessalonians, 1–2 Timothy, Titus, Philemon.
These explain the gospel, the meaning of Christ’s work, how the church should live, and how believers stand secure in Him.
General Letters (8): Hebrews, James, 1–2 Peter, 1–3 John, Jude.
These encourage perseverance, warn against false teaching, and call for holy living.

Prophecy (1 book): Revelation.
This apocalyptic letter reveals Christ as the victorious Lamb and coming King. It comforts suffering believers and shows the final defeat of evil and the making of a new heaven and new earth.

How the Two Testaments Fit Together

The Old Testament is not obsolete. Jesus said He came to fulfill it, not abolish it (Matthew 5:17). The New Testament constantly quotes and explains the Old, showing that Christ is the true temple, the better Moses, the perfect high priest, the faithful Israel, and the eternal King.

Everything in the Bible centers on the supremacy and preeminence of Christ that we have been studying in Colossians 1. He is the goal of the Old Testament promises and the living reality of the New Testament gospel. The whole book calls you to trust Him, repent of sin, and live under His rule until He returns.

If you want to go deeper into any section—especially how Colossians fits into the larger biblical theology of Christ’s preeminence—let me know which part to unpack next.

DAILY LEADERSHIP BOOST (DLB)

THURSDAY, 20 AUGUST 2026

HE IS COMING LIKE A THIEF IN THE NIGHT

“For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.” 1 Thessalonians 5:2 KJV

Leaders, there is no announcement date on heaven’s calendar.
Jesus is coming like a thief in the night. Sudden. Unexpected. Without warning to the world.

Peter said the day of the Lord will come “as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat.”_ 2 Peter 3:10. That means this world as we know it will end abruptly. And every leader will give account. Romans 14:12 “So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.”

This truth is not given to scare us. It is given to sober us.
Because when a thief is expected, the wise owner stays awake. Luke 12:39-40 - “And this know, that if the goodman of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched... Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not.”

The danger for leaders is not unbelief. It is slumber. It is doing Kingdom work with a casual heart. It is building with wood, hay and stubble because we assume we have time. 1 Corinthians 3:13. But the day is approaching like a thief, and it will test every work.

So how do we live when the coming is sudden?

Walk in constant readiness. Not fear, but readiness. Keep short accounts with God. Confess quickly. Forgive quickly. Walk in the light. 1 John 1:7. Let your lamp be full of oil. Matthew 25:4. A thief does not wait for you to get ready. He meets you as you are.

Guard your heart against surprise and sin. The reason people are caught off guard is because they are distracted. Luke 21:34 _“And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.”_ Watch what you watch. Watch what you feed on. Watch who you follow. A thief enters through open doors.

Stay faithful in your assignment. The faithful servant is the one found _“so doing”_ when the master returns. Matthew 24:46. Keep preaching. Keep serving. Keep praying. Keep building people. Don’t drop your post because the night is long. The trumpet could sound on an ordinary Thursday.

Leaders, our people are watching us. If we are careless, they will be careless. If we are awake, they will be awake. 1 Thessalonians 5:4-6 “But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that day should overtake you as a thief... Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.”

We don’t know the day or the hour. Matthew 24:36. But we do know the Master. And He said He is coming. So we live every day like it could be today.

Prayer For Today
Father, thank You for the warning in Your word. I refuse to be caught sleeping. Wake my spirit. Purify my heart. Help me to walk in readiness every day. Keep me faithful in my assignment, sober in my walk, and passionate for souls. Let the day of the Lord not overtake me as a thief. Prepare me and prepare the people You have given me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Today's Declaration
The Lord is coming like a thief in the night and I am ready. I walk in the light. I keep my lamp full. I am faithful in my assignment. I watch and I pray. I will not be overtaken by darkness.

Bible Reading Plan
1 Thessalonians 5:1-11, Matthew 24:42-51, Luke 12:35-40, 2 Peter 3:8-14, Revelation 16:15, Mark 13:32-37

Today’s Action
Leaders, do a “thief audit” today. Ask: “If Jesus came tonight, what would I regret?” Deal with it now. Repent, reconcile, or reset.
Then check one area of your life or ministry that has become casual. Tighten it. Set the standard again.
Teach your team: We don’t live in fear of His coming. We live in faithfulness because of His coming.
Remember: A thief comes without notice. So we live every day with notice in our spirit.

SERMON: GOD IS SPEAKING THROUGH HIS SON NOW IN THIS LAST AGE - TO ALL FLESH

Text: Hebrews 1:1-2, Acts 2:17

Hebrews 1:1-2 — “Long ago God spoke by the prophets, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son.”
Acts 2:17 — “In the last days... I will pour out my Spirit on ALL FLESH... your young men shall see visions.”

Brothers and sisters, the last days began on Pentecost Day. Acts 2:1-4
Pentecost came 1-4 years BEFORE Paul's conversion. So Paul's vision in Acts 9 was already a last-days vision. That proves God still gives visions today.

We are now in that same last age, and God is still speaking through His Son in two ways:

1. Through Visions - Red 7, Green 7, Skeleton
God showed His servant Kasule Reagan visions - Red 7 in the sky, Green 7 on the wall, Skeleton visions that vanished. The message: Time is complete, choose Life or Death. Matt 25:46

2. Through Personal Appearance of the Son - Sheikh Uthman Wambuzi

THE PROOF TO UNBELIEVERS:

This is a true story from our own nation, Uganda.

Sheikh Wambuzi Maka Uthman, 39 years, a former Islamic teacher from Mayuge District, Eastern Uganda.

Date: August 1, 2025, after Friday prayers. He stayed to rest in a corner of the mosque and fell asleep.

He saw a figure dressed in white, long clothing, surrounded by four angels. The figure called his name three times: “Uthman, Uthman, Uthman.”

Overwhelmed with fear, Uthman knelt down and worshipped Him. The figure instructed him: “Go to your people and tell them to repent and turn to the living God.”

Leaving the mosque around 5 p.m., he met a church pastor and shared the message of repentance. Through the pastor's guidance, Uthman understood the figure was Jesus (Isa) calling him and others to faith.

When he obeyed, from August 4, 2025, persecution came. His relatives viewed it as betrayal. They beat him severely, demolished his home, and took his wife and six children. He narrowly escaped through a thick bush to a Christian neighbor, who rushed him to a hospital in Mayuge town. [Source: christiandaily.com]

Why would a respected Sheikh lose everything for a lie? He saw the son. Mark 9:3, Luke 9:29, matt28:3

This is Acts 26:16-18 happening again:
“I have appeared to you to appoint you as servant and witness... to open their eyes, so that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God.”

3. TO ALL FLESH - REGARDLESS OF TRIBE, NATION, LANGUAGE, CULTURE, RELIGION

This is the key. Acts 2:17 says ALL FLESH.

Acts 10:34-35 — God shows no partiality, in every nation.
Revelation 5:9 — Jesus ransomed people from every tribe, language, people, and nation.
Revelation 7:9 — A multitude no one can number, from all nations.

God poured His Spirit on a Christian youth in Kampala with visions, and on a Muslim Sheikh in a mosque in Mayuge with a personal appearance. Same Spirit. Same Jesus. Same message.

THE MESSAGE FOR THIS LAST AGE:

God is alarming us: Spiritual awakening, renewal, revival, repentance, and obedience.

John 8:12 — Jesus says “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”
John 3:16 — Whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.
Matt 25:46 — The choice is eternal life or eternal punishment.
Proverbs 29:18 — “Where there is no vision, the people perish.” Without hearing what God is showing now, people will perish in sin/darkness.

2 Peter 3:9 — “The Lord is not slow... but is patient, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance.”

FINAL CALL: BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE

Hebrews 3:15 — “Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts.”
Habakkuk 2:3 — The vision awaits its appointed time, it will surely come.

Sheikh Uthman heard his name called. You are hearing your name called today.

God is speaking through His Son NOW to all nations. Will you embrace His will through faith in Christ and be saved?

If you refuse, you will perish in sin.

Prayer:
Lord Jesus, Son of God who came to destroy the works of the devil 1 John 3:8, open our eyes. We repent.

Nevertheless do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rather rejoice because your names are written in heaven." – Luke 10:20

LAST DAYS MESSAGE.. of Acts 2:17, WE are living now. Repent, believe Christ, & live pure by word of God & prayer. 1Tim4:5.

MOCKERS, UNBELIEVERS, SINNERS.. AND BACKSLIDDEN CHURCH ., this message is timely for you today as truth to obey and be saved.

Joel 2:28 / Acts 2:17 — “And in the last days it shall be, God declares, that I will pour out my Spirit on ALL FLESH, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams.”

THE OUT POURING OF GOD'S SPIRIT ON ALL FLESH means: JOHN 2:17, JOEL2: 28-31.

Regardless of tribe – Muganda, Musoga, Acholi, like ME and MUSLIM Sheikh Uthman Wambuzi in Mayuge
Regardless of nations – Uganda, Africa, all world( NATIONS )– Revelation 7:9
Regardless of language – Lusoga, Luganda, Swahili, Arabic – God spoke to Uthman by name in his own hearing
Regardless of culture – Pastor or Sheikh
Regardless of religion – Former Muslim teacher in a mosque, Christian youth in Kampala seeing Red 7, Green 7, Skeleton – same Jesus (Isa) appearing to both

This is why Pentecost came FIRST before Paul. God was opening the door to ALL FLESH.

Acts 2:5-6 – Every nation under heaven heard in their own language
Acts 10:34-35 – “God shows no partiality, but in every nation anyone who fears him... is acceptable”
Revelation 5:9 – Jesus ransomed people “from every tribe and language and people and nation”
Galatians 3:28 – “There is neither Jew nor Greek... for you are all one in Christ”

THE VISIONS I SAW & VANISHED. visions of Red 7, Green 7, Skeleton.. AND THAT SHEIKH WAMBUZI UTHMAN’S vision of Jesus in white with 4 angels on Aug 1, 2025 in the mosque are the SAME Spirit.

God pouring His Spirit on all flesh to give one message in this last age:

REPENT AND TURN TO THE LIVING GOD TO HAVE LIFE. Matt 25:46, John 8:12, Acts 26:18

Reagan, servant and witness of Jesus —what l saw through the Son as 3 visions. RED 7, GREEN 7 & SKELETON VISIONS. and their message is a call to repent, believe the gospel, obey the word & live pure through faith in Christ

SHEIKH UTHMAN — saw in MOSQUE A person who was so dressed in a brightly WHITE and was the Son appearing. to Him in MOSQUE. matt28:3, matt17:2, Luke 9:29, mark9:3,

This happening in Uganda, in these last days, on 1st / AUGUST / 2025. LAST YEAR. Hebrews 1:1-2.

Proverbs 29:18 – Without vision people perish. God is giving visions to all flesh so this last age does not perish in sin/darkness.

Habakkuk 2:3 – still holds. The vision will surely come, it will not delay.

This is the great message, witness. All flesh can see Him now. it calls nations now to have spiritual rebirth, revival, repentance, and obedience through faith in Christ and be saved.
