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...

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

DORCAS

  HER CHARACTER:  An inhabitant of Joppa, a town on the Mediterranean coast, thirty-five miles northwest of Jerusalem, she belonged to one of the earliest Chris tian congrega-tions. She was a disciple known for her practical works of mercy. HER SORROW:  To have suffered a grave illness. HER JOY: To serve Jesus by serving the poor. STORY IN BRIEF: Dorcas, whose Hebrew is " Tabitha" or " Gazelle", was a disciple of The Lord Jesus - Dorcas learned of The Lord, and followed Him, forsaking her world, previous jobs and lifestyle. Dorcas was a kind - hearted lady who demonstrated her belief in Jesus by her generosity - she sewed to clothe the poor and baked to feed them. One day, she fell sick to death. So Peter's attention had been drawn to this. Peter had just healed a crippled in a city close by. Peter successfully prayed for Tabitha and she was revived.  REFERENCE SCRIPTURES: ACTS 9:36-43

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.

Darkness does not stand Light – God’s Word and Revelations. But the devil so knows the scriptures that he could tempt Jesus with them though he failed. He is so knowledgeable and cunning that he can aptly imitate LIGHT to decieve others into destruction. This is why he is also called, ” angel of light “. ( 2 Corinthians 11:14 )

How about praise and worship? In fact, these are the only arsenal that lift God from His throne. All others only attract His ministering Spirits. Satan and his cohorts were, however, worshippers in the face of God too; they have the flair to praise God, so when The Lord went to cast them out, they would first acknowledge His lordship and bow. Worship and praises can, therefore, not be the greatest weapon.

Faith is deflated into a mere belief when it stands without obedience. Now that makes no difference between us ( Christians ) and the devil because he also believes but trembles – James 2:19. What then is obedience?

Obedience means ” to hearken”, ” hear to do” or “to align with”. Obedience springs forth all other weapons. Obedience does not only prove Faith, as revealed in the previous paragraph; it is also a proof of Love. Now, Of all the aforementioned weapons, obedience is the only one satan lacks. He chose to rebel rather than obey. Obedience is, thus, the greatest weapon !

Brethen, obedience breeds purity, empowers and glorifies. What more can we learn from obedience? We shall find out from the second and final part of this subject. In the meantime, The Spirit says, ” To obey is better than sacrifice !” – 1 Samuel 15:22
