The past few weeks have been some of the most difficult ones in our nation. We added a cultural pandemic to the Covid19 pandemic. With the prayers of God’s people combined with fasting and faith in action, we are seeing little steps towards healing. God’s healers, reconcilers and ambassadors are doing the hard work of healing and reconciliation. Whether that is through acts of kindness, fervent prayers, providing education awareness, peaceful protests, or hard conversations; these hard works are pointing towards revival, harvest, and healing of our divided nation. We remain focused on the progress we are making; though we know there is still a long way ahead to dismantling years of embedded racism in our nation.
We are seeing companies, government, organizations, churches, and cities making great decisions towards healing the racial divide. Thank you to all leaders embracing the discomfort that comes with making tough decisions towards racial healing. Change comes with a huge price tag that only those willing to sacrifice get to pay the price. The executive order on safe policing is a step in the right direction for America as we seek to eradicate the injustices of police brutality. God’s Spirit that begun this great work in the hearts of men and women, believers, and unbelievers in every race, young and old, will continue His work and bring it to completion. Let us continue to pursue God’s heart of dignity of all life. Changed hearts lead to changed lives. Changes lives lead to changed systems.
As God’s people, we have the greater responsibility in this Spirit led work. God is looking for people whose heart is fully His and completely loyal to Him. We need followers of Christ that are heartful for God. I am assuring you again, that from our board here at Oasis Focus Inc., we will continue to do our part towards a united and loving nation as we represent our King and Lord.

Repost For Father’s Day 2020: Creating a Legacy of Faith in Christ
With all that is going on this year 2020, I am encouraging men to make a renewed commitment to creating and living a legacy of faith in their families. Our families need it. Our communities need it. Our nation needs it. Our churches need it. Our world needs it. Still relevant today is the 3 P’s I shared a few years back to some young men at a local church on creating a legacy of faith in their families.
Anecdotal and statistical research show that a father’s beliefs are critical in passing on faith to the younger generation. Mothers have a unique role of nurturing the hearts of their children to a place of receptivity while fathers have the unique influence of leading the hearts of their children in response to who God is as our heavenly Father. Happy Father’s Day brothers! May our Lord continue to grace you with His wisdom as you lead your families for His glory and leave an eternal imprint in your children’s hearts and lives.
Prayer: It is much easier to lead your children to Christ; if they see you live a life of prayer at home and not just at church or special events. Your children are your fruit inspectors. They know what is real and what is fake. Pray and read God’s word with your children. If you don’t already have one, establish a family altar in your home. This is a time you set aside to intentionally pray, read and study God’s word together as a family.
Passion: Living a life of excitement for God in your home helps your children understand that it is a privilege to be a child of God. It is not a dread to live for God. We get to have fun expressing this amazing life of God we have in Christ both here on earth and with our Lord forever.
Purpose: Whether you have come to discover this or not; God has a divine purpose for your family. Every orchestrated step in your life; has the stamp of the living God. Once, you come to this discovery of the purpose of God; you come to a new understanding that you are a steward of God’s blessings, which include your children.
