THE POWER OF CONNECTION

By far the best way to change your mindset is to connect with other great minds. The saying “show me your friend and I will show you your character” is right on the spot! The company you keep says a lot about who you are and how you think and behave.

The people you connect to can make and unmake your future. To make it in life, connect yourself to individuals who fear God and are trying their very best to make it through good means.

Do not associate with the complainers who sit at one place and blame the government all their lives. Fight for yourself, fight for what you believe in and go after it.

Who do you call your friend? Who is your business partner? Is he helping you to grow your business or is talking you into collapsing your own business? BE VIGILANT MY FRIEND and stay away from any form of negativity. This includes “good” friends that are a danger to your thinking. You don’t have to read everything in the paper about murder, death and suffering.

Don’t join the disappointment party about how “the economy is hard and you are just barely managing.”

Stay positive in all circumstances.

BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION

I HUMBLY INVITE ALL FRIENDS AND FAMILY TO JOIN ME TO CELEBRATE THE BIRTHDAY OF MY GOD MOTHER, REV. DR. CHRISTY DOH TETTEH. THIS SUNDAY, 27^TH APRIL, 2014 AT KWABENYA.

HAPPY EASTER

JESUS AS THE SUBSTITUTE FOR SINNERS. 

When our Lord Jesus Christ suffered it was for us sinners. 

The Bible says, “He was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed” (Isaiah 53:5). 

By Christ’s bruising and His stripes, as well as His death, we are healed from the sickness of sin.

Jesus took upon Himself our sin. To bear our sin He had to be treated as sin would be treated. Sin deserves to be scourged. It deserves to be spit upon. It deserves to be crucified. And because Jesus had taken upon Himself our sin, He had to be put to shame. He had to be scourged. If you want to see what God thinks about sin, look at Christ, spit upon by the soldiers, His back flogged to shreds, and His beard pulled out by the roots. If you and I, being sinners, were scourged, and beaten, and despised, we would not be too surprised. But He who took our sins into His own body was God. Since Jesus was put in our place, as our substitute, it is written of God the Father, “He that spared not his own Son” (Romans 8:32). “It pleased the [Father] to bruise him; he hath put him to grief” He made Jesus’ soul an offering for sin (Isaiah 53:10). When our sin was imputed to Jesus it threw Him into the greatest shame and suffering before it could be removed. 

Remember also that Jesus freely volunteered to take your place. He willingly did it. The text says, He gave His back to the smiters. He gave His cheeks to those who plucked off the hair. He did not hide His face from shame and spitting. He did not try to escape from the insults and the shame. He freely volunteered to stand in your place and be punished for your sins. The Son of God was willingly made a curse for you.

He who covered the heavens with blackness, did not cover His own face. He who binds up the universe with a girdle was bound and blindfolded by men He had created. He whose face shines like the sun was spit upon. Why not spit on angels? Was there no place to spit but in the Savior’s face?

Since He went through this to save you, will you trust Him as your substitute? If you do, your punishment will be removed in an instant, cleansed by His all-redeeming Blood!

AMEN!!!

INVITATION TO MY BOOK LAUNCH

I WISH TO INVITE ALL FRIENDS AND FAMILY TO MY BOOK LAUNCH ON SATURDAY, 5TH OF APRIL 2014. EVERY INFORMATION NEEDED IS ON THE INVITATION CARD.

THREE STEPS FROM PAIN TO PURPOSE

I want to share with you today what Tony Gaskins Jnr Shared with me, so i will humbly ask you to read through carefully. Tony writes,

I've had some tough times in life, and in each struggle I ask the same questions. Why me? How long will this last? What will it teach me? Life is known for testing you, then teaching you. It's the opposite of how we were taught in school. I've gone from test to test all of my life, and I'm sure you have too. I guess it's just the way it goes. I've learned some valuable lessons in my few years on Earth, and amongst those lessons one really echoes; turn pain into purpose! If you have to go through it at least get something out of it. There's a lesson in every struggle. 

Step 1: Understand why it's happening to you. I know that may sound unfair, but the truth is that it's happening to you because you can handle it. Life happens to us all, but to each is a share that's meant to strengthen, not kill. Remember all the times you didn't see a way out but yet you made it anyways. It was blind faith and instinct that brought you through it every time. If it happened to your best friend, it could have killed them. If it had happened to your enemy it still would have hurt you. Your problems are put on your plate because you can swallow them. 

Step 2: Get a lesson from it. Life is a great teacher, so let her have her perfect way. When the struggle hits don't focus on the pain, focus on the purpose. Life has an interesting way of handing out valuable lessons. Sometimes we bring them on by our actions, and sometimes life just happens to us. As you've heard before: it's not what happens, it's how you respond that matters most. Look the pain in the face and smile back at it. Don't let it beat you. Let it teach you. Life is meant to be lived, not to be survived. And life is survival of the wisest. Get a lesson instead of stressing. 

Step 3: Turn the pain into purpose. If it happened to you it was so you could help someone else get through it next. As we live we should learn, and as we learn we should teach. Some of the greatest teachers are those who decided to teach from the hard lessons life taught them. Some of the greatest inventions were made from a struggle. Adversity should breed creativity. Your pain may birth your non-profit organization that will serve a group in need. Your pain may birth a book that will change lives. Your pain may breed creativity that could inspire a nation or change the world. Take it from me. I'm not writing you some fluff on a page. I'm writing from my pain and my purpose. I made choices and life made me pay for them every time. In that pain I learned lessons and I began to share them. Today I have a message that organically reaches up to 20,000,000 people a week. My pain birthed my purpose and my message has spread over 80 countries. It's taken me to South Africa to speak to crowds of 4,000-5,000 plus. It's allowed me to make a living while making a difference. 

Don't just let life happen to you. Do something about it!

WHAT IS YOUR PURPOSE?

Why are you working so hard and doing so much to get what you want? Do you know your purpose for being here?

Whatever your dreams may be and whatever you want to achieve, it is important to analyze the reasons for those things. The reasons for what you want to have and to achieve are your “WHY.” Your why is intimately tied to your purpose in life.

Everything has a purpose in life. The trees, birds, bees, ants and every living thing have a purpose for being. Each plays its own little part in the delicate architecture of life. Every good invention or good tool answers a question. Technology answers the why question – it’s an answer to someone’s problem.

YOU ARE NOT AN ANT BUT A HUMAN BEING and human beings, whatever you believe their origin to be, are the greatest of all of nature’s wonders. Why are most of them so purposeless in their existence? One philosopher Marcus Aurelius once asked: “Everything, a horse, a vine, is created for some duty……For what task, then, were you yourself created?”

A substantial number of us exist simply to exist. We live year in and year out as though living itself is our ultimate goal. If we make enough money and have enough things to gets us through to the next year we are satisfied. Surely, there is more to our lives than that? How can something so wonderfully made and endowed with potential as you are simply be here to just exist?

What is your purpose my dear friend?

What is your contribution to the world?

Is your being here making any difference to anyone?

What is your purpose here on earth? If I may ask again, look for it and fulfill it.
