Lighthouse Daily – 14th May, 2026…
Good day fellow citizens and brothers and sisters in Christ.
Today’s update is about a 5-minute read.
In this update:
- God’s mandate and commission for Christians — what Christ calls us to
- How to spot “help” offered in the name of Christ that actually sabotages and smears
- Bread and circuses — the comfort syndrome that distracts the masses from truth and freedom
1. Our Personal, Interpersonal & Global Commission from Christ: The Problems We Face and Solutions Needed
“Fight the good fight of faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called, and you made the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.” — 1 Timothy 6:12
God’s mandate and commission is that we seek His Kingdom first, live under His laws and principles, and sacrificially serve His purposes in every area of life.
Practically, what is our responsibility?
It includes (but is not limited to):
- Preaching the Good News of God’s Kingdom throughout the world, in all nations before the end times (Matthew 24:14)
- Having a great relationship with Christ in and by His Spirit (John 15:4)
- Knowing and understanding His Word deeply —and applying it (James 1:22)
- Looking after widows and orphans in all walks of life (James 1:27)
- Helping our neighbour as Good Samaritans where we can help them (Matthew 22:39)
- Never saying no where we ought to say yes in Christ —inside and outside our souls, inside and outside our homes (James 4:17)
- Advocating for God’s truth and for His people (Jude 1:3)
- Building our lives based on God’s constructive, self-sacrificial love (John 15:13)
- Confronting evil and deep-rooted syndromes in ourselves, in others and in the world (Ephesians 6:11-13)
- Building people and communities into wholeness in Christ’s spirit and our hard labour — for God’s glory eternally (Ephesians 4:11-16)
- Solving problems through community, to address and resolve syndromes as much as possible in this lifetime (Galatians 6:2)
- In all areas, Theochristologically, humanly, materially and financially (Colossians 3:17)
This is a total-life call to be God’s Kingdom builders — personally, relationally, and societally — until the work He has given is done.
2. Targeted from Within: The Greatest Threats to the Body of Christ from Inside
“It is inevitable that stumbling blocks come, but woe to him through whom they come! It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck and he were thrown into the sea, than that he would cause one of these little ones to stumble.” — Luke 17:1-2
When someone identifies as a Christian and offers help — especially as a journalist — what do they actually do?
Instead of pursuing truth, reconciliation, and an ordered process, they may:
- Select and present material in a way that maximises suspicion and outrage.
- Use partial truths, stripped of context and loaded language.
- Frame the community as a diabolical and dangerous cult, or enemy of Christ
- While presenting themselves as the enlightened whistle‑blower.
We must be extremely astute in detecting those who come in the name of good — even in the name of Christ — yet cause stumbling, smearing, and destruction to Christians seeking to serve our Lord.
As we have experienced with the amateur journalist Christian Hacking, this is why holding him accountable is so important.
Anyone acting in a predatory manner towards Christians must be stopped from causing further harm.
This is one aspect of the Judas Syndrome. To reiterate what we have expressed before, most of us assume we would be able to detect a “Judas”. None of the 11 disciples had any idea that Judas would betray them… because too often, the ones who betray us are the ones we least suspect.
3. Targeted from the Outside: How The Establishment Persecutes us Christians
“And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.” — 2 Corinthians 11:14
How does the relatively small top tier Establishment disable and disempower billions of human beings?
There are many syndromes, methods, and tactics we have shared — and we are still yet to share 99% of our research findings at Lighthouse over the last 22 years.
Many will be horrified at how the Establishment has diabolically controlled the masses.
Here is a very small, but very disturbing insight into one of the many tactics used…
Note: Given Paul’s longstanding ill health resulting from the multiple Establishment attacks on him, these daily updates are generated by the team, drawing from recent and older meetings and transcripts that Paul has shared with us. We ask for you to keep him in your prayers as he builds strength and renews in our Lord.
God bless,

Thank you for this very needed set of insights. I’m very thankful to God to be able to have this chance to know what living for Him means, what it means to be protecting ourselves and each other, from the dark forces within and outside.
This is such a revealing update, both describing and showing us what Christ’s commission and mandate truly are for us, while the video highlights the stark contrast between that and what the Kingdom of Darkness wants us to do and believe.
Thank you — this is incredibly important for the body of Christ.
I really value having specific commandments from Christ’s commission laid out and backed up by scripture. If every Christian took these commandments to heart and lived them, the world would be very different to how it is currently. I say that whilst recognising there are many major problems that only Christ can fix, yet there are many that we can work on and strive to solve by God’s grace.
I contrast that with the experiences we’ve had with Christian Hacking as well as the tactics employed by the Establishment. We need to be discerning through being focused on seeking first God’s Kingdom…
These are two fundamentally different ways of living, and I really appreciate this crucial distinction. So often, we get lost in busyness and unimportant things, living as though we have all the time in the world, instead of focusing on discovering what truly matters and then pursuing it intentionally.
Our lives have a purpose, and once we understand Christ’s commission and mandate for us, we begin to see how every day, hour, and minute fits into that greater calling. That is completely different from getting consumed by entertainment and distractions that ultimately move nothing meaningful forward.
It is also shocking to realise that many establishment systems are designed to keep people distracted, controlled, and disconnected from their true potential for the benefit of those in power.
It is time to change this and to live in alignment with God given eternal and infinite laws and principles that strengthen us both individually and collectively.
Thank you for this update to help me understand what God has asked me to do with my life – while also showing such a juxtaposition of what the Kingdom of Darkness and Satan has created to try and distract and consume me from doing so! 🙏
Thank you very much for bringing e practicalities of God’s mandate and Commission, we cannot underestimate the importance of being able to clarify what Christ has asked of us and this is first time I have seen this brought together 🙏 The time is now for keeping our eyes focussed on Christ.
Reading through the list of scriptures there and sitting with what they mean, I’m filled with a humbling swell in the heart at how gracious, good and loving our God is and what He’s calling us to. Compare that to the world of circuses and games, distraction, depravity and debauchery and I’m ashamed for how much I have fallen and do fall into Satan’s schemes to keep us from God. Thank you, this is a much needed messages and I pray all who read it will be strengthened in the spirit to fight the good fight of faith!
It’s very valuable to have God’s commission, or parts of it, laid out. What was insightful was seeing how the ruling groups, the elites, and the establishment control things. The video around giving people circuses has opened my eyes far more. It’s fascinating how football players, for instance, get paid so much, their value is nowhere near these millions. Seeing it now as distraction makes perfect sense.
So powerful to see that mandate laid out next to those scriptures. The contrast also with bread and circuses is so powerful. I watched an interview recently where a man was speaking about how people can be so depressed and demoralised, and basically controlled now, that all they have the energy for is scrolling. We all have a circus, our very own circus, right in our pockets now.
We need deliverance please Lord Jesus
Thank you for bringing me back to what it is that God wants and needs us to do as Christians. I value your sharing each of the scriptures that I need to be going back to every day to reinforce my role in life as an emerging Christian woman.
The video is very disturbing, in the way the establishment wants to keep us distracted so that we are not seeking our true potential in life, keeping us numb and dumb to what is actually going on in the world, and inside our own souls…
Having a clear and objective standard to live by, in God’s love, is essential in this world of media frenzy and distraction.
The more I look at and think about the media landscape, the more I see the ‘bread and circus’ tactic at play, to dis-unite and distract people from living a healthy and prosperous life.
