Preachers  Preachers are not super humans. Preachers are prone to every sinful bait that happens to all men. Preachers preach so that their preaching can preach to them also. They encourage so that they can be encouraged as well. They motivate to be motivated also. So Paul would say, Instead, I discipline my body and bring it under strict control, so that after preaching to others, I myself will not be disqualified. (1 Cor 9:27). So Preachers do not preach just because they know more than the listeners, neither because they are more qualified than the listeners nor more perfect than the listeners. However, Preachers must know and do better. As a Preacher, you must practice what you preach and live your talks. You don't just preach for others and relax somewhere. Whatever sermon you preach must be a command you must obey as well. You must discipline yourself after you have preached a subject because there is a high possibility of falling to that sermon and the devil can s...

Picky and Choosy Association Pt. 1                         It's obvious to tell one's future by the kind of friends he/she has. You are the average of the seven friends you associate with most. The kind of  associations you keep can lift or limit you in life. They can build or break you. People with mediocre values cannot help you achieve anything great. Not to say look down upon the less privileged or the poor, but surround yourself with light-bringers, world movers, people who would give you pressure to be  the best version of you...                         Your destiny is so important to waste it around people who can't add any value to it. Some people might have finished their assignment in your life, be bold to move on with or without t...

Lesson Learnt No wonder the Bible tells us to go to the ant and learn her ways. [Prov 6:6]. We, especially the head of the nation should now learn our lessons. Thank God for the many prayers offered on 25/3/2020. I believe God has healed every aspect of our land including our head [Isa 1:5].    Our leaders,  I humbly ask that you pick lessons from COVID-19. If investing in our local health facilities, educational systems, roads, etc, was a mirage to you, now fixing them must be a necessity to you all. Now that international doors are closed, would you still fly outside for medical care, better education, etc.? You have no option than to use the ones we have, good or bad regardless. I humbly appeal to you all, commit to developing Ghana, so we can all enjoy Ghana, especially in moments like. May this be a lesson to us all. Amen

WAKE UP Scripture tells us to redeem the days because the days are evil. [Eph 5:16-17]. People of Ghana and the world, let’s be wise and know the Lord’s will in our current situation. This period is not for careless living, both physically and spiritually.  Physically, there are several preventive measures recommended by the various health ministries; social distancing, personal hygiene, self-quarantine, etc. Follow these. Spiritually, we are also preaching that we use this period to draw closer to God Almighty. This period is not meant for any sort of sinful or evil deeds; sexual immorality, prayerlessness or irregular Bible-study, corruption, unforgiveness, hatred, etc.  This period must be a season of total repentance, consecration and dedication of our bodies, spirits, and souls to God Almighty. Just decide that should the Messiah return now, you will be raptured with Him. Let’s wise up brethren. God will surely intervene.

SECRET SINS           By secret sins, I mean rationalizing and bathing in sins that weigh us down as Christians. Oftentimes, we hide in the dark, bath in sins and leave them unconfessed, thinking nobody has seen us. If nobody saw you, please be reminded, God is omnipresent. “Psalms 90:8” says “Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our secret sins in the light of thy countenance”.  “Ecclesiastes 12:14” also says, “For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing,  whether it be good or whether it be evil.”      Christians today, hide our sins and quickly condemn other  people's known secret sins; it just a matter of time, the night will be spent and the day will expose every secret sin. We have no cause as  Christians to rationalize and bath in any secret sin.          Today, the Lord is sending this teaser to all Christians, to awake out of our sleep, to cast of the ...

"FAITHFUL GOD"      If I am to summarize the nature of God in one line, I would say " He's FAITHFUL" . God's faithfulness cost Him every second. His "faithfulness is what has kept the earth still revolving, the stars and the moon in their orderly operations. If He ceases to be faithful today, their operations also fails. The earth is sustained by God’s faithfulness to His Word.        It is the faithfulness of God that kept Him from interfering in the eating of the forbidden fruit. He told Adam and Eve, to have dominion, He didn't involve Himself in the dominion mandate and so God would've broken His own law [hence unfaithful] if He had interfered in that act. So if you have ever asked "why God didn't stop them from eating the forbidden fruit?”   The answer is that "God is too faithful to break His Word". Psalms 138:2 says, “He has magnified His Word above His name" .        Yes, God is sove...

"Extra Mile"       Try to read the entire passage before proceeding  2 Kings 4:8-37.  8. And it fell on a day, that Elisha passed to Shunem, where was a great woman; and she constrained him to eat bread. And so it was, that as oft as he passed by, he turned in thither to eat bread.   9. And she said unto her husband, Behold now, I perceive that this is an holy man of God, which passeth by us continually. 10. Let us make a little chamber, I pray thee, on the wall; and let us set for him there a bed, and a table, and a stool, and a candlestick: and it shall be, when he cometh to us, that he shall turn in thither. 11. And it fell on a day, that he came thither, and he turned into the chamber, and lay there. 12. And he said to Gehazi his servant, Call this Shunammite. And when he had called her, she stood before him. 13. And he said unto him, Say now unto her, Behold, thou hast been careful for us with all this care; what is to be done ...

.....SEX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!..... *************************** One of the greatest headaches of many young ladies in relationship is the issue of sex. While they find themselves entangled in love, they also would not want to offend God by fornicating. Meanwhile, most young men of today are always demanding sex before marriage as a proof of love. If a lady denies her boyfriend (fiance) sex, he tends to think she either does not love him or she is seeing another guy. And this throws the lady into so much confusion. She genuinely loves the guy but wouldn't want to give in to sex. If  she denies him, she may lose him and if she gives in too she disobeys God. Sorry to our ladies. Gentleman, please know that it is absolutely a lie from the pit of hell that if your fiancee does not give you sex it shows she doesn't love you. How can you use sex as a " LOVEOMETRE" ? Have you never slept with ladies you didn't truly love? If you haven't then let me tell you that m...

"Feeding the soul" The human is made up of the body, spirit and soul. The emphasis today is the soul. Ur soul is the part of you which interact with ur body and ur spirit. It involves ur desires, emotions, will, mind, etc. Ur soul feeds ur spirit by what it receives from the body component. It has no power over the spirit component, it only delivers what it receives from the body to the spirit. The soul in computing, can be described as a volatile memory. It only keeps things temporary either to be delivered to the spirit or the body. So how u feed ur soul or what u feed ur soul with, will determine the content of ur spirit and body. When ur body gives any food to the soul, it must be delivered to ur spirit. When ur spirit thinks that food is not good for it, it rejects it back tot he soul. So ur soul must return the food to the body. Ur body behaves like a King. It doesn't take back what it sends. So imagine what happens to ur soul and spirit! The spirit is a sympathi...

"Before You Quit" When your going gets tougher, harder and rougher, the natural instinct demands you to give up. But I have a suggestion for you today. Before you give up, think about WHY u started it. Think about those who depend on the outcome of what you're about giving up. Think about if you hold on for a while. Think about the saying "winners never quit". Think about the scripture that says "your light affliction prepares for u a more glory in the end [2 Corinthians 4:17] ". This guy was in a swimming competition, he has won the battle already but has a few meters to cover. And there he felt tired and felt to give up, only for him to see the finishing line right in front of him upon getting out of the water. He gave up before his victory. This is why I want to encourage you today, to keep holding and moving on. You can't start and stop along the way. For the tired, you'll get, but draw strength from Yahweh to proceed. He's been a st...

"Pushed Into Marriage" What a world! She thinks she's up for marriage just because she's striked her 30s. He thinks he has to marry probably he's also in his late 30s. But watch this, marriage and age are different things altogether. You can be 40 in age but 17 in mind. You need to first be matured well enough. You need to train your emotions particularly to tolerate others. Again you need to have saved enough for your wedding and for the marriage, particularly after wedding. Don't get up and borrow money for your wedding, there's life in reality after the wedding. Again, you need to be able to manage yourself well especially if you're a man. You can't be disorganized everywhere and think you're going to marry. If you can't even manage your own self, how can you marry someone together. To him who's faithful in the little can be given much. And to the ladies, hear this, don't just settle down with any man just because you're i...

"Overcome Your Fire" I was going through some challenges that I needed an experienced one to talk me out of the issue. Just to realize that it's a youthful fire that burns the youth. As a staunch Christian, I worried about it. But one thing I learn't through it is that, the fire you're going through is associated with your generation but how to handle the fire determines who you will become. Everyone is going through fire one way or the other, but some have really come out of theirs victoriously. Remember this, fire when applied to a piece of wood, it burns it but the same fire when applied to a piece of gold, it refines it. So you can choose to let your fire make you better instead of being bitter. Joseph went through fornication fire but the fire couldn't overcome him. He overcame the fire. The three Jewish boys in the fire, had victory over the fire. Daniel again had his own fire and he overcame. But Sampson allowed his fire to make him bitter. Tha...

"God's Love Underrated " This thought just came to my mind, how a lady or a guy could do whatever it takes to prove his/her love for the other. I asked myself, so if man can do that how much more God, the Father of all love? Some ladies will go all miles, give their entire bodies to the guy,  cook, easily forgive when being cheated, becomes "a slave" even to these guys, all in the name of love. Yeah it's real. And even these types of love are erotic ones mostly. God's supersedes all these. He easily wipes and forgets our sins. He is always in dire need of our fellowship with Him. Don't underrate His love. God has always loved you and will always love you. His love for you can't be fathomed. God loves you more than that boyfriend/girlfriend. So instead of giving your body to that illegal partner (unmarried guy/lady), give it to God and He will use it to your utmost surprise. God has proven Himself to be good in that. To remind you of one, He off...

Prayer..... Your direct line with the heavens. A communication process that allows man to seek a rapport with the heavens. It's your license for the heavens to interfere in your affairs on earth.  Why you need to pray. Write these questions down.... 1. If God is sovereign, why prayer? 2. If God is not influenced or affected by what you say or do typically in prayer, then why should you pray?  The answers to the above questions are the essence of prayer. The first answer says, God is sovereign as His word and He is limited by His word. Again, the second answer says God will never violate His word. Any spirit without a body(man) is illegal on earth. And so for any spirit to interfere legally on earth, He needs a body (permission from man).... God gave man the dominion on earth, and so man possess the sole authority to permit what happens on earth. So aside the sovereign nature of God, He's also a spirit and before He would do anything on earth He needs permissio...

PRAYING FOR WISDOM FROM ABOVE Join Paul and Daniel in marveling at God’s wisdom : “Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and how inscrutable His ways!” (Romans 11:33) “ Blessed be the name of God forever and ever, to whom belong wisdom and might. He changes times and seasons; He removes kings and sets up kings; He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have understanding; He reveals deep and hidden things; He knows what is in the darkness, and the light dwells with Him” (Daniel 2:20-22).    prayer ….Thank God for His gracious promise to give wisdom generously to those who lack it. Claim that promise for yourself by asking Him for it in faith  (James 1:5). Acknowledge to God that fools always think their way is right, but a wise person listens to advice (Proverbs 12:15). Ask the Lord to help you to be humble and teachable, willing to ask for and receive counsel from others. Confess ...

Who are the Christians? Christianity is a monotheistic Abrahamic religion based on the life and teachings of Jesus of Nazareth. It is important to understand that a person is not necessarily a Christian because he was born into a Christian nation, culture or home. Nobody in this world is naturally born a Christian. Even though a person may associate with or approve of Christian principles, that does not make him a Christian The human race is by nature completely corrupted by sin. These sins are known to every human on earth, Christians and non-Christians alike. For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, slander, magic arts, impurity and many more. (Mark 7:21). All people are bound by these sins to a greater or lesser degree. Because of these sins, man is not acceptable to God; we are enemies of God because of it.  The Christian, then, is somebody who has come to an understanding of the seriousness of being an ene...

Where's God? In our days at the primary school, we were told that God is omnipresent, which meant that He's present everywhere. So in the storm, flood, drought, turbulence, attack, ups and downs etc., God has never left us. He's always there on time. But sometimes it seems God isn't present during the storms. It seems He's no where to be found  in the storm. Yeah, we don't find Him there. This is it: During the storm, the atmosphere becomes blurred and you hardly see your way out, so though God will be right there but the atmosphere wouldn't let you see. So in that, He says, walk by FAITH not by SIGHT. This is why in the book of Romans, we are told that the just shall live by FAITH. the Christan walk has always been a FAITH WALK. It takes faith to acknowledge the presence of God during the storms, the challenges, the seasonal fluctuations in business. If you live in these period by what you only see, you will falter. He has said it in His word, that He w...

"Your own mouth ...." Listen to how the writer of proverbs coined it. Pro 17:28 - Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: [and] he that shutteth his lips [is esteemed] a man of understanding . Today I want you to know that your own mouth can prevent you from getting to the top. It can fight your way up the success ladder. You talk too much. Your enemies now suffer not to get your information. You just open your mouth and pour it to them. But if today u can learn from this piece and bridle your tongue and close your lips, that long awaited dream can be a reality. ' Wokasa dodo' nti Susu kasa . If you talk plenty, you even expose your folly. Every bit of your life is now known by everyone around and even far away from you. What I know is that God normally keeps His children secret, nourished, safe, before bringing them out. So know when to speak, that's wisdom. You don't just speak because you want to speak but you should speak because you...

Teaser: "Defy the urge to quit" Brethren, U cannot afford to drop that idea. U cannot afford to abandon that project. Before U even think of quitting, think about why U started that project in the first place. The challenges would surely appear. But history says winners have never quit, it's only losers. So I encourage you today, hold on to that dream, that idea, that project, that vision, and any other actualization. They have been appointed to be accomplished in their own time. So defy all urges to quit, cos the end of the tunnel is nearer than you think. Press on, u're almost there. There was once a swimmer who swam for about 5 hours and felt tired. He had a little energy and strength to prevail but he looked at his current situation and decided to come out of the water. He came out of the water only to find out that he was at the finished line. He needed a little press-on to obtain the crown but he gave up before his victory. God would always want you to suff...

One proud question at church was this; so do you have a girlfriend? Proudly and unhesitatingly replied "No". Then I heard giggling and hisses 😇😇. U don't believe genuine spirituality exist ernhh?? The fact that even pastors are failing in that area doesn't tell all. Be there and be joking with the violent seekers. Who said in the days of Mary and Co, there were no spoilt brats, there existed so many of them but Mary was found, chaiiiiiii. How good it is to remain pure in this generation? You become a generic hero/heroine both on earth and in Heaven. Bless U violent kingdom seeker.
