LUKE 10:30-37 When I converted to Christianity, things became so tough and so rough that I nearly gave up. I packed all my things and left my uncle’s place. (I’ll discuss this matter in another series). No believer was willing and ready to accept me, not even pastors. We all need to be SELFLESS. The […]
PROVERBS 16:19 Many believers are either too hasty to speak or too quick to act. In my personal opinion, these too words are the weaknesses of people not just in the church, but also in the circular world. People speak and act before they think about it; and one of the consequences is that, they […]
PROVERBS 16:19 “BETTER TO BE LOWLY IN SPIRIT ALONG WITH THE OPPRESSED, THAN TO SHARE PLUNDER WITH THE PROUD”.( NIV) Meekness is one of the most “abused”, and often misunderstood words, not just in the Bible, but also in social life. I have read and heard many people say, “meekness is strength under control”. I […]
EPHESIANS 4;1-3 The things you tolerate in your life today, determine who and what you will be tomorrow. I have discovered that, “the single most important decision you make in life is who you allow into your life”. Good behaviour is contagious and bad character contaminates. Emotions circulate through social networks. Each positive person you […]
EPHESIANS 4:1-3 The nature of my work does not allow me to be involved in active politics. ( I am apolitical). However, I follow political debates so that I can be well informed as an academic and good citizen (though some of the panelists don’t make sense sometimes). One thing that always stands out is […]
Ephesians 4:1-3 In Ghana, people no longer define “tolerance” as an acknowledgement that, others have a differing belief. In most churches and among individuals, people have rejected the possibility that, “objective truth exists. When people hold on to certain ethical and moral correctness in Ghana, you are branded as intolerant. As believers or individuals, we […]
EPHESIANS 4:1-3 As believers, we are enjoined by love to tolerate people. We may not have to necessarily agree with them, but we must accommodate them. We don’t need to be members of the same tribe, clan, political party, congregation or ministry to tolerate one another. We should not intentionally look for opportunities to anger […]
EPHESIANS 4:1-3 In my beloved country Ghana, we are bombarded everyday about the need for tolerance; Political and religious, and the need for co-existence. Usually, this is presented as the non- judgemental of acceptance of all perspectives. But I have discovered that, those who stand for the truth (especially in political and religious circles) are […]
EPHESIANS 4:1-3( NIV) “AS A PRISONER FOR THE LORD, THEN, I URGE YOU TO LIVE A LIFE WORTHY OF THE CALLING YOU HAVE RECEIVED. BE COMPLETELY HUMBLE AND GENTLE, BE PATIENT, BEARING WITH ONE ANOTHER IN LOVE.MAKE EVERY EFFORT TO KEEP THE UNITY OF THE SPIRIT THROUGH THE BOND OF PEACE” In recent times, we […]
COLOSSIANS 3:12 We can not deny the fact that, there are “mean people”. We are commanded to “Love God and love our neighbours”, that’s the centrality of Christianity. But that will not change the fact that, some people will never be kind. These people may be strangers, who know nothing about you, your profession or […]
COLOSSIANS 3:12 “THEREFORE, AS GOD’S CHOSEN PEOPLE, HOLY AND DEARLY LOVED, CLOTHE YOURSELVES WITH COMPASSION, KINDNESS, HUMILITY, GENTLENESS AND PATIENCE”.( NIV) Yesterday after an awesome “Super Word Service”, I had an interactive session with all new members. A gentleman approached me afterwards and said “people are nice in this church”, then I heard a tiny […]
2 PETER 1:5-6 Dear reader, drawing your attention to certain deficiencies in your (we all have character flaws anyway) character, behaviour and attitude is not a personal attack, but rather it is way of drawing our attention, so that we can grow and be better used by the Lord. We have to be willing to […]
