“The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.”
(Luke 20:17)
Not everyone will see your worth or the worth of what God is doing in you. Even Jesus was looked at by the builders of His day and told: “You don’t fit.”
They had the blueprints.
They carried the titles.
But they missed the cornerstone.
And yet… that very rejection was part of the plan.
The Kingdom of Heaven moves differently.
It chooses the lowly. It speaks through donkeys.
It raises what man throws away.
I know what it feels like to be welcomed, affirmed, and embraced by the global Church… and still carry the scars of rejection from the very places where I should have been raised well.
There’s a weight when you walk into a room and they say, “Father Hughes.” Yet I never sought such an ecclesiastical office. But the Lord ordained it, and I have been blessed beyond streams and beyond what words can express.
Still, the word remains:
What man rejects, God can raise.
What doesn’t fit their frame may be the foundation of a new move.
You are not broken.
You are being aligned.
God’s house is bigger than the walls of those who said “no.”
He is building eternally. And you were never just another piece in the wall; you are part of the cornerstone.
Let the rejected rise.
Blessings,
EMP.

An Open Letter to the People and Leaders of Ukraine and Russia
James Hughes | Ecumenical Patriarch of Dove Gospel - Multinational
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
I speak to the people of Ukraine and Russia, with a heart of love and a plea for peace, a peace that only the Holy Spirit can provide.
“Every knee will bow, every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.” (Philippians 2:10–11)
I call upon you to bow your hearts before the Lord, to confess His name, and to let Him guide your path toward a peace that transcends all understanding. This peace is not the peace of this world, but it is a peace that comes when we surrender our pride, our fears, and our pain at His feet.
Even amidst conflict, your soldiers are tuning into our radio station, worshipping, proclaiming the name of Jesus, and demonstrating their faith. If those who serve you show such faith, why do their leaders continue bloodshed when there could be peace, a peace of the Holy Spirit?
Jesus said, “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.” (Matthew 5:9) We are all His children, called to be vessels of peace. In Christ, there is no division, only unity as brothers and sisters under His Lordship.
This is not an easy path, but it is the one that leads to freedom, not freedom defined by earthly power, but the freedom of living as children of God.
May the Holy Spirit guide you, illuminate your path, and bring you to a peace that transcends all understanding. We stand with you in prayer and faith, believing that God’s love can overcome all things.
With love in Christ,
James Hughes
