TEACH US TO PRAY, LORD!

It is very interesting how people refused knowledge and give some stupid excuses. The ones that most of the time made me mad are Christians especially Men of God. I find it very difficult to understand because the Bible tells me the Holy Spirit will lead us into all truths. The sad news is that, most Christians do not even know the operations of the Spirit let alone to let Him guide them.

Secondly, most believers do not know how to pray. For example, I counselled a woman recently concerning her marriage. The husband left her for another woman and she prayed on five different occasions when the man attempted to marry the other woman, that God should not allow it to happen. According to her, the marriage never happened. So I asked her, what do you want God to do in this situation. She told me she wants the husband back and I said but you never ask God for that. God is answering your prayers but you are praying the wrong prayers. I then ask her to first pray for God to guide her according to His will in this situation and we will take it from there.

Another woman operating restaurant always pray and bind the devil every morning before she starts to sell. And yet things are not going as she expected. Talking to her I told her yes you bind the devil but you didn't ask God to bless the business and bring customers. She was convinced by what I told her and she stopped binding the devil and prays for more customers. She told me recently that things have changed.

what am I saying, there are times you need to cast the devil and there are times you ask God for His blessings. He said ask and you shall be given. The truth is that, when you ask for stone I will give you stone and when you ask for bread I will give you. That is my perspective on prayer. Most people do not get answered prayer because we do not know how to pray. 

Then human beings we are spirit and physical beings. Sadly, most people run away from responsibility in the name of prayer. There is a part everybody needs to play in life without that your prayer is void.

But all boils down to knowledge of the Bible. Most of us refused to study the Bible. It is a fact that one can pray very effectively with good knowledge of the Bible and some of the mistakes we make can easily be avoided. There are churches I go and the Pastor will just come and shout, you are bless!, all the witches in your family will die! and on and on. At the end of the service he has not said anything. There is this one question always in me mind in such services, is it that the man of God himself does not know what is in the Bible?

FINAL SPEECH- EDITED

Good Evening everybody! I will be ungrateful if I do not thank God for bringing me this far. I also want to use this opportunity to thank; 1. The management of SEND SL for the opportunity given me to serve in the capacity as FAM 2. The staff of SEND SL, especially Gumah, Mr. Osman, Lansana and Ann who prepare the way for me. 3. My Pastor friends: Pastor Songu, Pastor Ken Ful lah, Pastor Adu, Rev. Mrs Baihinga 4. And the Family of Mr. and Mrs. Osman Daniel Kamara for making me feel at home in Kailahun. Greatness starts with being good. “America is not strong because of its security nor their resources. America is great because it’s kind and good” said by President Obama. You cannot be a great leader when you cannot make those you are leading great. An important person is the one who makes others important and a great organization is the one that cares for its employees as much as it cares for its other stakeholders. Greatness begins with goodness... So for me, my great moments in K

THE 7 THINGS SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE NEVER SAY

Y ou want to be successful. Everyone does. But your actual words might be undermining your chances of success. The things you say in the office, no matter how innocuous they seem to you, might be knocking you down the career ladder and putting the top position you dream about out of reach. Your career is too important to be tanked by a few negative phrases.  Here are the seven things you should strike from your workplace vocabulary if you want to achieve the success you richly deserve: 1. “That’s not in my job description.” When you accepted your current position, you had a good idea of what the responsibilities and workload of the role would entail. Throughout the months or years since you settled into your job, however, your role has expanded and changed shape. Some of these changes have probably been good, while others have made you wish for simpler times. When a boss or manager piles another responsibility on your already sore shoulders, it might be tempting to pull o

I AM NOT AFRAID TO BE TAGGED

A section of Accra the Capital of Ghana In Ghana people fear to be tagged as;   Too known  Either NPP or NDC depending on what one says  By tagging, you are silence not to speak the truth. But I have come to appreciate the fact that, whatever you do people will talk anyway.   Secondly someone must take that "bad name" and do the talking.  We must know that Ghana come first, East Gonja come first before NDC or NPP. And one day we will give account to God.  This morning, I know people will call me NPP and my NDC friends will not be happy with me.  But the Bible said, He who knows the right thing and do "say" it not has sinned.  We as a people have become so selfish and self centered and the politicians are taking advantage of us yet we don't know.  We have become blinded with party coloures  that;  We can't talk about development anymore.  We can't appreciate what others have done  We are afraid to speak
