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...

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. ...

REAPING THE HARVEST

To everything, there is a season - a time to sow, and a time to reap; the farmer ( sower ) certainly has his time of harvest but until he waters his seeds, rids the wheats of the tares and applies the fertilizer he is not guaranteed a good yield. So also is every other sower. Until harvest time comes, there is always something we must do in order to maximize our yield. Some of these are explained below: 1. Clear the weeds from your field “And the Lord God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.”—Genesis 2:15, KJV The word translated keep in Hebrew means “to put a hedge of thorns around, to watch over; to guard, protect and safeguard.” When a farmer plants seed in a garden, he doesn’t just walk away and hope for the best. No! He has much to do to protect his crop. And so do you. What can choke your crop? Walking outside of love. This includes unforgiveness, bitterness and strife. So, keep a watch on your heart, pull the “weeds” out by the root...

COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS !

When the devil attempts weakening you with his deceptive thoughts, consciously remind him of God's goodness to you. That's one way by which we win the battle of the mind! ( Psalms 103:1, 2 Corinthians 10:5 & James 4:7 )

CAIN

MEANING OF NAME: Acquisition, fabrication or possessed. STORY IN BRIEF: Eldest son of Adam and Eve, the first man to be born naturally, and founder of the family of Kenites (Kenite is called Kain in the Hebrew) The terrible story of Cain proves how quickly man’s fallen nature developed. Soon after that, he became desperately wicked; it was by him Polygamy started. By calling Cain was an agriculturist, but he was not happy in his calling since he did not fear God. His heart became jealous as he witnessed the happiness of his brother Abel and his favor with God. Ultimately he yielded to his jealous feelings and slew Abel, just as the Jews for envy sought Christ’s death. Because Cain’s heart was destitute of love, his sacrifice had no heart in it and was therefore miserable, worthless and unacceptable to God. “The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord, but the prayer of the upright is His delight.” Cain was right in his desire to bring an offe...

For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it (LUKE 9:24)

A certain man counceled his Christian son against being too industrous for God. This man's fear was that his dear son could lose his life serving Jesus Christ and preaching the Gospel. But the son replied, “Dad, I’m only doing what Jesus said I should do; I’m serving Him with my life.”

The man took offence at that and asked back, “You’re doing what Jesus said you should do? That’s why He died young; at thirty-three! They killed Him!” Like that man, there’re many who neither understand Christ’s purpose, nor the meaning of life. It’s not how long you live; it’s about the life you live.

The truth is, for such people, the issue really isn’t that they want to live long or want their loved ones to live long. If that were the case, God promised them eternity; their real problem is the fear of death.

As long as the fear of death possesses a man, he can’t live to his best potentials; he can’t fulfil his calling in life. He’ll say and do things doubtfully, all so he could save his life. But we read in our opening verse, “…whosoever will save his life shall lose it….” Hold nothing back living for Christ! You’ve got to be able so say, “Come what may, I stand for Jesus Christ and His Kingdom! I’ll serve The Lord, no matter what!”

Remember what He said in Luke 10:19, “Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.” As you go about preaching the Gospel, especially in these last days, be fearless, for the Lord Himself is your defence. Even now, He’s saying to you the very same words He said to the Apostle Paul in Acts 18:10, “For I am with thee, and no man shall set on thee to hurt thee: for I have much people in this city.”
