New Year Message - Pastor Eric Otchere

Image
  We live in a world with many people who claim to be Christians. They use Christian terms, pray, have Bibles on their phones and attend church but cannot say with deep conviction that they are born again Christians.   I write this short article knowing that if we don't consistently preach the true gospel of Jesus Christ to even people who are seated in our churches, one day, Christ will turn them away and say He didn't know them.   A true Christian walks in the light and not in darkness. I John 1:5-7 (NKJV) says, "This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all. If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin."   The epistle of 1 John has many ways to test ourselves whether we a...

New Year Message - Pastor Gideon Amewu

Image
  Each year, many people set targets, goals, dreams and visions they intend to reach before the year ends and sometimes even before the year ends they may have lost track of the resolutions they set for themselves.  Dear New Breed, you have to be mindful that it's not by might, not by power but by the Spirit.  Your success this year is tied to how much of God's Word and His Spirit you are going to allow in your life.  This year endeavor to give place and priority to God's Word, prayer, and church gatherings and see if you would not make significant progress in life.  Keep your focus this year, don't allow distractions and wrong associations to steer you away from your course.  I see a glorious year for you, do you? With Love, Pastor Gideon Amewu

  Put these clothes under your arms’, he said. ‘Then tie the ropes over them so that they will not hurt you.’ Jeremiah did as Ebed-Melech had said._ ~Jeremiah 38:12 (EasyEnglish Version) Obedience to God's word is such a hard thing to do without opposition. So imagine when about 99% of the people around you do everything to frustrate and prevent you from being obedient to the word of God. Such was Jeremiah's case.  He was under constant scorch of hate from men, mostly the very people he served with God's message and warnings for their own good. And one of such ended him in cistern (in this case, a natural reservoir; a hollow place containing water) prison. But my dear neighbor, know this, GOD WILL MAKE ROOM FOR YOU. Should you stay obedient to what He says, you will receive a Calvary.  Ebed-Melech is an Ethiopian slave whose name can mean "servant of the king." He should not necessarily have the kings ear but if you serve the King of kings anyone or authority wi...

Aim To Be The King!

  One of the fastest ways to know that you're progressing is through changes in your thought patterns. You begin to question things you've once accepted.   My purpose-driven scripture has always been Prov. 22:29, "seeth though a man diligent in his business, he shall stand before kings and not common men."   This scripture has always made me know that irrespective of your religion, the principle is the same. The cap goes where it fits- he who puts in the work.   Hence, the need to persist rightly!   There came a time when that wasn't my driving force anymore. While going through that scripture, I paused to ask myself, "who are the kings? How many heads do they have? Why do I need to stand before them? Why not, I become the king?"   At first, it was a puzzle but now a great deal. A deal that guides my planning and execution (ing) for/in 2022. Such a great year it "was!" …. My point?   While the journey begins with you...

God Is For You!

  GOD IS FOR YOU! Realising this will make a world of difference in your Christian journey, Dear Young Adult. You may find yourself thinking thoughts like "God has abandoned me! Otherwise, why else would this happen to me?" "There's no way God will love me after what I did." Good news is, there are many stories in the Bible that prove that God is for you regardless of how you feel! One of the Bible passages I regularly refer to when I need to be reminded that God is for me, is that of Peter walking on water.  He was doing great for as long as he had his gaze on the Lord JESUS.  At some point, he got scared and began to sink.  He cried out, "Lord, save me".  Matthew 14:31 reports that "Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him".  The "immediately" always always warms my heart.  It reminds me of Psalm 46:1 - He is indeed a VERY present help in trouble. Not only is He present, He is "very" present. Whoooooshhhhhh!...

A Glimpse Of Her! (Episode 10)

  After reading, Casey burst out crying again. She decided not to listen to the condemning inner voice. The next morning, she went to see Pastor Ben and told him about her addiction to masturbation and some bad lifestyles she had cultivated. In a conversation with Pastor Ben… “Masturbation is a terrible addiction that needs the right knowledge to get over it. When I was younger, I used to masturbate every day. It weakened me, it made me depressed to the point I took anti-depressants pills every day, because I knew the masturbation was tearing me apart.” “Know this Casey, there is no one trapped in the act of masturbation that he or she is proud of and that is why most people tend to be secretive about it, which is the greatest power the devil or the masturbating power has over them. Casey, you should be grateful to your mum for appearing in your dream, you are half way out of the battle.” Casey had her head bowed in pain… “Over the years I have counseled people on the i...

Renetta had completed her undergraduate program and currently doing her compulsory one year national service in the Eastern Region. “I thought I was raising a daughter fit for the King’s palace, but I didn’t know she wasn’t even close to it, where did I miss it with you? I sacrificed a lot for you Casey” Casey’s mother told Casey whilst she was crying loudly in a dream she was having one midnight. Casey suddenly woke up and was visibly shaking. Feelings of guilt overshadowed her. She felt remorseful of everything she has done. “What have you turned into Casey? This is not the life you envisioned for yourself. Mummy and Daddy never brought you up like this. What have you become Caseeey?” Casey maundered hitting herself. “You are worthless and useless! Nothing better will come out of you. Forget the promi...
