THE GREATEST WEAPON !

  “For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds…. “ 2 Corinthians 10:4 KJV As christians, we are not improverished of ammunitions with which to withstand the enemy and his wiles. Yet these weapons are variably effective. There is, therefore, the need to look into the nature of each of them and reasonably determine the most productive. According to Paul, in the preceding scripture, our arms are not physical; prayer, praise/worship, faith, obedience and Light, are all rather abstract though results-yielding. Now, which of these does satan fear most? Let us find out from the following paragraphs. Prayer is a good arm. It transforms both on the inside and on the outside of us. But if prayer is a request, then satan can pray too; he got far into God’s presence, requesting of His permission to try Job. He demanded of The Lord to sift Peter like wheat. Thus, prayer is not satan’s most-feared ! Afterall, he too can pray to God. D...

ERIC JESHURUN EXPRESSES HIS CONCERN FOR GHANAIAN CHURCHES - CHRISTIAN NEWS

  Eric Jeshurun,  Ghanaian Gospel Singer has shared his worries on How Ghanaian Music Right Organising ( GHAMRO ) may oppose churches in Ghana. The argument on churches paying for use of intellectual property of gospel musicians appears not to be ending any soon  as another gospel musician, Eric  Jeshrun, has described the ap proach by GHAMRO as problematic . GHAMRO's administrator Abraham Adjetey, seven days earlier, announced their resolution to ensure churches pay for using the intellectual prop- erty of gospel musician. But Eric Jeshrun, who is also a broadcaster, told Christian Agyei Frimpong on Onua FM that one of the challenges Africa presently faces with respect to taxes is the same challenges GHAMRO's decision will face. I don't have a problem if GHAMRO wants to take money from the church but my problem is the approach," he said. I think GHAMRO must begin to conscientize the churches through the Christian Council [of Ghana] because GHAMRO itself has admin- i...

REVELATION PART 2

  "And he informed me, and talked with me, and said, O Daniel, I am now come forth to give thee skill and understanding." Daniel 9:22 KJV Our verse here lets us know that Daniel received some divine secrets from God through His angel. But how else can we obtain revelations from God? This second PART of the subject enlightens us on the ways by which we access the LIGHTS of God. 1. READING OR STUDYING. "When you come, bring the bookcase and the books that I left in Troas with Qarpus, especially the parchment scrolls." 2 Timothy 4:13 By this verse, we understand the secret behind Pauls depth in God; Paul read stories of Bible figures; He studied the Law; He acquainted himself with the promises of God, and heard the Words of our Lord Jesus as narrated by his disciples. He even made notes, kept the books and meditated upon them constantly for Lights. Paul only taught after he had studied long enough to receive some revelations. No wonder, God wrought special miracles by ...

PRAISE THE LORD !

" O clap your hands, all you people; Shout to God with the voice of triumph and songs of joy.  For the Lord Most High is to be feared [and worshiped with awe-inspired reverence and obedience]; He is a great King over all the earth.  He subdues peoples under us And nations under our feet.  He chooses our inheritance for us, The glory and excellence of Jacob whom He loves. Selah.  God has ascended amid shouting, The Lord with the sound of a trumpet.  Sing praises to God, sing praises; Sing praises to our King, sing praises.  For God is the King of all the earth; Sing praises in a skillful psalm and with understanding." Psalms 47:1‭-‬7 AMP

SOWING THE RIGHT WAY !


" For there is a right time and procedure to every purpose..." Ecclesiastes 8:6

A seed is a  gift offered to God or to a man in demonstration of LOVE or HATRED. It takes the forms of money, property, crops, physical food, words of the tongue and attitude. 

Seeds - good or bad, reproduce their kind. This, we must understand in our walk with God and in our relationship with man. The one who desires to reap good fruits must sow good seeds !

Unfortunately, much may not be harvested from our seeds when we sow disregarding the WILL of God. It is, therefore, imperative to observe God's " HOWs " and " WHENs " concerning sowing, as disclosed below.


1. LOVE: 

" If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing." 1 Corinthians 13:3.

  When LOVE guides the giver, the best is offered out. Such gifts are so significant that they create vacuums with the giver, while touching the heart of the receiver. It is the reason Abel's offering was accepted but Cain's, rejected ! For a seed to yield much, it must emanate from a heart of LOVE ( PASSION ) but not one from a FORCED ( PRESSURED ) heart.


2. UNDERSTANDING.

" And the one on whom seed was sown on the good soil, this is the one who hears the word and UNDERSTANDS and grasps it; he indeed bears fruit and yields, some a hundred times [as much as was sown], some sixty [times as much], and some thirty.”

Matthew 13:23 AMP

Understanding furnishes us with reasons for words spoken, acts, and events. A forced seed is fruitless. So we must gain UNDERSTANDING to replace the sense of COMPULSION with LOVE or PASSION so our givings can yield fruits. God neither cheats nor owes; whatever a person sows, that also will he or she reap. But our UNDERSTANDING of HOW, WHEN and WHY we sow seeds maximises the harvest.


3. THE HEART

 In the parable of the sower ( Luke 8:15 ),  the soil is likened to the heart. Yes, the human heart ! A stony, and a weedy heart cannot keep the seed of God's Word. God's Word in our hearts would only yield fruits in our lives when the heart is first prepared, voided of grudges, hatred and doubt. God does not waste His seeds. So also are His Prophets; before we sow our Words into every other persons lives, let us first prepare their hearts for reproduction. For " the preparation of the heart belongs to man.." Proverbs 16:1.


4. The Grace of Giving.

"... see that you also excel in this grace of giving." 2 Corinthians 8:7

 This Grace of giving divinely enables us to give in such a manner that pleases God. By it, we passionately and joyously sow our seeds without feeling any stress. And there is always a timely harvest for the giver to keep sowing. Added to this Grace is also that special insight on WHAT, WHEN , HOW and TO WHOM a seed must be sown at a time ! Now, it is my prayer that everyone of us reading this article excels in this Grace as we resolve to do His WILL regarding sowing, in Jesus' name !

Beloved, every blessing from God is a gift of trust. He expects us to preserve and conserve them through the sowing of seeds. But while we do, let us constantly observe the revelations above.
