RE-BUILDING CHARACTER

  HH, Patriarch Sir Johnson Dear Faithful Members, I greet you today with a reminder of the spiritual authority that resides within each of you. Too often, we walk through life feeling powerless, tossed about by circumstances, reacting to events rather than shaping them through faith. But you were not created to be victims of your environment. You were created to be overcomers, world-changers, kingdom-builders. The authority I speak of does not come from human credentials, wealth, or social position. It flows from your identity as a child of the Divine, created in the sacred image, empowered by the eternal Spirit. When you truly understand who you are, you stop begging for what is already yours. You stop doubting your worthiness and start claiming your inheritance. I have watched too many of you shrink back when you should step forward. I have seen you second-guess your instincts when the Divine is clearly speaking. Fear has convinced you that you are small, insignificant, and ...

  PATRIARCH AND CHIEF APOSTLE SIR DARRINDEL JOHNSON To the Faithful of the Spiritual Baptist Community and All Readers of  www.mysticalorderinc.org Beloved Brothers and Sisters in Christ, Grace, mercy, and peace be unto you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. I write to you in this hour with a heavy heart but an unwavering spirit, as we stand at the threshold of 2026—a year that promises both great challenge and great opportunity for the people of God. We are witnessing troubling signs on the horizon. The escalating tensions between the United States and Venezuela threaten to engulf our beloved Caribbean region in conflict and chaos. War drums are beating, and the specter of violence looms over waters that have known too much suffering already. Our islands, our nations, our people stand vulnerable in the midst of powers far greater than ourselves. But we serve a God who is greater still. It is precisely in this moment of uncertainty and danger that the Holy Spirit h...

A Message from The Queen Abbess Dr. Patriarch Hackshaw To The Mystical Order Ministries: Making Christ the Center of Your Life This Christmas Beloved Members of The Mystical Order Ministries, I greet you with profound joy and spiritual affection as we enter into this sacred season of Christmas. It is my privilege and honour to extend to you my warmest wishes for a law-abiding, peaceful, and joyous holiday season. May the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ bring renewed hope, divine blessing, and transformative grace into every aspect of your lives. Christmas commemorates the most pivotal moment in human history—when the eternal Son of God humbled Himself and entered our world as a helpless infant. This divine condescension reveals the heart of our God: a heart that loves deeply, forgives completely, and desires an intimate relationship with each of His children. The birth of Christ was not merely a religious event; heaven declared that God has not abandoned humanity but has come to dwell a...

May the light of Christ illuminate your path and fill your hearts with divine contentment. Christmas is a season that touches the deepest places of our souls, reminding us of God's tender love and His desire to dwell intimately with His children. When the baby Jesus was laid in that manger, wrapped in swaddling clothes, heaven's glory was revealed in the most humble circumstances. This beautiful paradox teaches us that Christ does not require grand settings or elaborate preparations—He simply desir...

It is with great joy and spiritual enthusiasm that I extend to each of you my warmest greetings and sincere wishes for a blessed and joyous holiday season. Christmas is the celebration of the greatest miracle the world has ever known—the miraculous birth of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. In that quiet stable in Bethlehem, divinity clothed itself in humanity, and God stepped into time and space to redeem His creation. This profound mystery should fill our hearts with wonder, our minds with reverence, and our lives with purposefu...

  A Message from The Patriarch and Presiding Prelate Sir Godfrey Gregg To Members and Clergy of The Mystical Order Ministries: Making Christ the Center of Your Life This Christmas Dearly Beloved Members and Esteemed Clergy of The Mystical Order Ministries, As we approach this most sacred and joyous season, I greet you with the timeless words of the angels who heralded the birth of our Saviour: "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, goodwill toward men."

Christmas is more than a date on our calendar—it is the celebration of God's greatest demonstration of love to humanity.

  A Message from The Patriarch and Chief Apostle Sir Johnson To The Mystical Order Ministries: Making Christ the Center of Your Life This Christmas Beloved members of The Mystical Order Ministries, As we gather in this sacred season of Christmas, I extend to you my warmest greetings and heartfelt blessings. This is a time when the world pauses to remember the greatest gift ever given to humanity—the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. In the midst of festive celebrations, glittering decorations, and joyful gatherings, let us not lose sight of the profound truth that stands at the heart of this season: Christ must be the center of our lives, not just during Christmas, but every day of the year. The birth of Jesus in that humble manger in Bethlehem was not merely a historical event; it was the divine intervention of God breaking into human history to offer us redemption, hope, and eternal life. When we make Christ the center of our Christmas celebrations, we acknowledge t...

  Caring for God’s Creation By Archbishop and Presiding Prelate Hon. Andres B. Quow Beloved in the Lord, The Earth is not ours to exploit; it is a gift from God, entrusted to our care. From the very beginning, humanity was given the responsibility to “work the land and take care of it” (Genesis 2:15). Environmental stewardship is not a political issue; it is a biblical mandate—a call to honour God by caring for the world He has created. The Scriptures reveal that all creation belongs to God (Psalm 24:1) and that He delights in its beauty and diversity. When we neglect or harm the environment, we dishonour the Creator and disrupt the balance He intended. The Apostle Paul reminds us that creation itself groans as it waits for redemption (Romans 8:22), a reminder that our actions have consequences not just for us but for the entire created order. Environmental stewardship is an act of worship. It means using resources wisely, reducing waste, and advocating for policies that protect ...

  HH, Patriarch Godfrey Gregg Gratitude is more than a fleeting feeling—it is a way of life, a lens through which we see the world not for what it lacks, but for the blessings it holds. In every sunrise, every act of kindness, every breath we take, there is a reason to give thanks. The scriptures remind us that a grateful heart is a magnet for joy, a shield against despair, and a bridge to the divine. When we cultivate gratitude, we acknowledge that all good things come from a source greater than ourselves. We recognize that even in our struggles, there are lessons to be learned and grace to be found. Gratitude transforms our perspective, turning ordinary moments into sacred gifts and challenges into opportunities for growth. In a world that often focuses on what we do not have, gratitude calls us to pause and appreciate what we do. It invites us to celebrate the small miracles—the laughter of a child, the warmth of a meal, the comfort of a friend’s embrace. It teaches us to say “t...

  HH, Patriarch Godfrey Gregg Faith is the quiet confidence that, even in the darkest night, the dawn will come. It is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. Faith is not the absence of doubt, but the courage to move forward despite it. Throughout history, faith has been the anchor for countless souls. It is the trust that, no matter how stormy the seas of life may become, we are held by a power greater than ourselves. Faith does not promise an easy path, but it does promise that we are never alone. Yet, faith is not passive. It is an active surrender—a daily choice to align our will with the divine, to seek wisdom in prayer, and to act with integrity and compassion. It is the belief that our struggles have purpose, that our pain can be redeemed, and that every step taken in trust brings us closer to our true calling. In moments of uncertainty, faith whispers: “Do not be afraid.” It reminds us that we are part of a story much larger than ourselves...
