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...

THE BENEFITS OF SERVING GOD !

  ” There is profit in all labour but…” Proverbs 14:23 Our opening scripture says there’s profit in every labour. That’s why He says, ” Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might;…” Afterall, you’ll prosper in everything you do. But the Bible points out that he that’s from above is above all. Thus, one can equally assert that the labour from above is above all other earthly labour. The paragraphs below prove the superiority of kingdom roles over earthly professions. ( Ecclesiastes 9:10, John 3:31 ) FAVOUR & PEACE. “The blessing of Jehovah, it maketh rich; And he addeth no sorrow therewith…” Proverbs 10:22. Peace is never found in wealth. Only God gives true divine peace. Accompanying the FAVOUR of God due to our continued submission to him, is Peace. Peace is the condition of The human Spirit that secures, sustains and multiplies the BLESSING. It comes as a result of our righteousness. And righteousness is the reward of FAVOUR. JOY “The seventy-two returned with jo...

SPIRITUAL DISTANCE

  “… They honour me with their lips but their hearts are far from me.” Isaiah 29:13 Why would a miniser’s relation be downtrodden while this same minister ably delivers others outside his family? Why would a virtual participant be positively touched while those in his physical presence are left unimpacted? Could it be that one’s faith is stronger than the other’s? If ” YES “, how possible is it that those that are rather physically far from God’s servant can have stronger faith than those present in his immediate circle? Beloved, the simple reason for all these oddies lies in ” SPIRITUAL DISTANCE “. Whereas PHYSICAL DISTANCE has to do with the space between physical bodies, SPIRITUAL DISTANCE refers to the distance between Spirits. The two do not yield same profit(s). One that is physically close but Spiritually far accesses only physical benefits from the other; the person that is spiritually close, whether physically present or not, stakeholds all things from his or her partner. ...

GOD'S ARMOUR ( Pt. 1)

 

Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

Ephesians 6:13‭-‬17 KJV


Paul wasn't intimated by the Romans soldiers who guarded him in prison. He would rather proclaim that he sat in heavenly places while God gave him an analogy of the centurion's armour upon which his eyes were fixed. The Apostle, in his letter to the Ephesians, touched on this revelation as in our opening scripture. Today's part of the subject, however, discusses The Helmet of Salvation. ( Ephesians 2:6 )


Now, snapily describing the centurian's headgear ( helmet) helps us understand better how The Helmet of Salvation works. The design of the Roman soldier's helmet is such that it protects the back of the neck and the soldier's face - forehead, nose, eyes, ears and jaw of teeth. So The helmet of salvation - The Gospel of Jesus, wholly secures our thought and face. 


PROTECTION FOR THE THOUGHT

The helmet guards our mind - WILL, EMOTIONS and INTELLECT, against satan's fiery darts like fear, mistrust and hatred. Since the mind is also a spiritual battleground, the helmet also guides our mind processes into Victory. The mind is the soul of a man. And a man's physical prosperity largely depends on the prosperity of his soul.Thus, the need to secure the wellness of our soul with the Helmet of Salvation ( 3 John 1:2 ).


PROTECTION FOR THE FACE

Just like the physical body, the human spirit also has spiritual senses. Our Spirits have eyes to see Visions, ear to hear God's Voice, nose to smell divine aroma, tongue to taste the goodness of God and skin to feel the touch or presence of Spirit entities. When the face is exposed, the devil may blind our spiritual eyes and deafen our spiritual ears. But thanks be unto God ! The Helmet of Salvation covers the Spirit's sense organs on the face as we wear it on.


But how do wear this helmet? The Helmet of Salvation, which is the gospel of Jesus, is worn when we replace our old, vain thoughts with those cited in Philipians 4:8. Romans 12:2 says, " ... But be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind..." That's how we put on The Helmet of Salvation.


It's worth noting that before the Roman soldier wore his headgear, he first polished it's sufface with oil. Thus, the helmet so shun on sunny days and blinded the eyes of rivals. This oiled metallic gear, would also slip off the palms of their enemies and sharply deflect their weapons ( swords).


Brethen, do not just dorn your helmet; first, let it also be anointed of The Spirit such that it is shiny and eye-blinding to the enemy. An oiled helmet is a Spirit-authored Word of God that's never corrupted ! Do join us here on our next post for the remaining parts of this armour. But before you leave now, kindly read a couple more of our exciting artircles on this page. God richly bless you !
