The 'fourth watch' last from 3:a.m. until 6:a.m. Night TIME is when God does SOME of His BEST work! When the lsraelites FACED the RED SEA, we read, 'All that night the Lord drove BACK the sea' (Exodus 14:21 NCV). During 'the middle WATCH ' of the night, Gideon DEFEATED the Midianites (Judges 7:19-24). Jesus rose from the dead before 'DAYBREAK' (Matthew 28:1). Matthew says: 'In the FOURTH WATCH of the NIGHT He came to THEM , walking on the sea. When the DISCIPLES saw Him... they were terrified... immediately Jesus spoke....' Take courage, it is l; do not be afraid" (Matthew 14:25-27NAS). NOTICE TWO IMPORTANT THINGS: 1) JESUS WAITED until the storm was at its WORST and they'd LOST all HOPE. That's because GOD dictates the TIMETABLE for our DELIVERANCE, and He's NEVER LATE. 2) THE DISCIPLES DIDN'T RECOGNISE HIM UNTIL HE REVEALED HIMSELF TO THEM. Often the answer you NEED is right beside you, but you don't recognise it until God reveals it to you. On another occasion, 'When... the crowd was pushing in...[Jesus] climbed into the boat that was Simon's.... put out... from the shore... [And] using the boat for a pulpit.... taught the crowd' (Luke 5:1-3 TM). In that MOMENT it would have been TEMPTING for Peter to feel IMPORTANT, THINKING the Master needed his BOAT. No, God doesn't need anything we have to accomplish His PURPOSES not our credentials, talent, or resources. So be humble. And don't PANIC! When Jesus came to the disciples that night He was 'WALKING ON THE sea.' God is on TOP of the SITUATION. Be at PEACE; He will do whatever it TAKES to reach and RESCUE you. Your problem is just a PLATFORM DISPLAY His POWER to act on your behalf! God's Servant Rev. Alfred Acheampong. Anchor Scripture: 'IN THE FOURTH WATCH.... HE CAME TO THEM.' (Matthew 14:25 NAS) Prayer Point: Heavenly Father, thank You for being there for me, my Saviour, refuge, comforter and deliverer. Amen Stay Blessed! YearOfSupernaturalProvision

Josiah's grandfather, Manasseh, was a VIOLENT king who FILLED 'Jerusalem from one end to the other with [the people's] blood' (2 kings 21:16 NLT). His father, King Amon, DIED at the HANDS of his own OFFICERS. 'He did what God said was wrong,' reads his epitaph. Josiah was only EIGHT when he ASCENDED the THRONE. Immediately he chose RIGHTEOUSNESS, and didn't stop doing what was right all his life (2 kings 22:2). What's the POINT? We can't pick our PARENTS, but we CAN pick our ROLE-MODELS. When Josiah was rebuilding the TEMPLE he DISCOVERED a scroll CONTAINING God's law. As he READ it he WEPT, realising his PEOPLE had DRIFTED far from God. So he SENT word to a PROPHETESS and asked, 'What will become of our people?' She told Josiah THAT since he HAD repented when he heard God's Word, his nation would be spared (2 Chronicles 34:14-27). Wow! An entire GENERATION received GRACE because of the INTEGRITY of one man. So, you can RISE above your PAST and make a DIFFERENCE. Your PARENTS may have GIVEN you your DNA, but God CAN give you a new BIRTH and a new BEGINNING .'You are God's children whom he loves, so try to be like him' (Ephesians 5:1 NIV). Just like Josiah, YOU cannot CONTROL the way your FOREFATHERS responded to God, but you can CONTROL the way you RESPOND to Him. Your PAST does not have to be YOUR prison; you HAVE a say in your LIFE, you have a VOICE in your DESTINY, you have a CHOICE in the PATH you take. CHOOSE well and SOME day GENERATIONS from now OTHERS will thank God for the LEGACY you left. God's Servant Rev. Alfred Acheampong. Prayer Point: Heavenly Father, help me to leave behind a legacy of integrity, and of service to God and man in Jesus name. Stay Blessed! YearOfSupernaturalProvision

We think EVERYTHING rests on our SHOULDERS, but it doesn't! It's God's WORLD, not ours. At the BEGINNING of each DAY God REMINDS us that He HAS His WAY, that He CONTROLS outcomes, and that He CARES about every DETAIL of our lives.The way we get up in the MORNING sets the TONE for our ENTIRE day, so try this: FIRST thing tomorrow, GET alone with God for a FEW minutes. Don't TRY to make it LAST an hour, just START with five minutes. Go over YOUR plans for the DAY. If you have a CALENDAR, look OVER it with Jesus. As you are GOING through it you will HAVE some CONCERNS. Just hand them OVER to Him. Maybe you will notice a MEETING or a particular PROBLEM you are WORRIED about. Ask Him for WISDOM. If He DOESN'T give you an IMMEDIATE answer, realise that it's BECAUSE He WANTS you to TRUST Him. He has SOMETHING better in MIND, something that you HAVEN'T thought of YET. So many of us START our day ANXIOUS, hurried, FEARFUL , or RUSHED. But we DON'T have to. We are going to START our day anyway; why not START it with Jesus? Do we have any better offers? We are going to have a FIRST thought anyhow, a FIRST word, so why not let it BELONG to God, before Whom all our ANXIETIES flee? We can DO this. We REALLY can. We can START our DAY with God. Take a MOMENT and MEDITATE on this Scripture: 'Satisfy us in the morning with your unfailing love, that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days (Psalm 90:14 NIV). God's Servant Rev. Alfred Acheampong. Prayer Point: Heavenly Father help me to always begin my day with God in prayer in Jesus name. Anchor Scripture: 'IN THE MORNING I LAY MY REQUESTS BEFORE YOU AND WAIT IN EXPECTATION.' (Psalm 5:3 NIV) Stay Blessed!

Esther won a beauty contest, married a king, lived in a palace, UNCOVERED a plot to EXTERMINATE the Jewish PEOPLE and saved THEM. Her story SHOWS us the IMPORTANCE of being in the RIGHT place, and being INFLUENCED by the RIGHT people. So: 1) WHERE YOU ARE TODAY IS NO ACCIDENT. Mordecai, Esther's MENTOR, challenged HER and changed HER life by saying, 'Who KNOWS but that you have come to your ROYAL position for such a TIME as this?' Esther didn't SET out to be QUEEN, but ONCE she was, SHE had to DECIDE between her COMFORT and her CALLING. It's a CHOICE we all MAKE. 'What's my calling?' you ASK. It could INVOLVE your JOB, your MARRIAGE, your TASKS as a parent, your FRIENDSHIPS. It could involve the NEIGHBORHOOD where you live or VOLUNTEERING at your church. One thing is CERTAIN: when God calls, it's 'YOUR TIME' We are TEMPTED to THINK we are 'treading water' right now, WAITING for some other TIME or more IMPORTANT opportunity. No, you don't get to CHOOSE your TIME; God DOES that! The Psalmist said, 'My times are in thy hand' (Psalm 31:15). 2) GOD SENDS SPECIAL PEOPLE TO GUIDE US. Without Mordecai in HER life Esther MIGHT never have UNDERSTOOD her CALLING. And without his HELP she MIGHT never have EMBRACED it. So, who's your Mordecai? Who KNOWS you WELL enough to HELP clarify your CALLING ? Who loves you ENOUGH to challenge you when you get off track, or STRENGTHEN you when you WANT to quit and TURN back? Not one of us is a COMPOSITE of all of life's VIRTUES; we all have BLIND spots and WEAKNESSES. That's why God SENDS others; and why we NEED them! God's Servant Rev. Alfred Acheampong. Prayer Point: Heavenly Father connect me to the helpers of my destiny in Jesus name. Anchor Scripture: 'FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS.' (Esther 4:14 NIV) Stay Blessed! YearOfSupernaturalProvision

Sometimes it's WISE to wait, to say, 'l don't have the answer right now but I will think about it, pray, and get back to you.' Your need to RESCUE someone, or IMPRESS them and make points, will come back to BITE you. The Bible says, 'A prudent man keeps his knowledge to himself, but the heart of fools blurts out folly' (Proverbs 12:23 NIV). Allow WISDOM to DETERMINE your RESPONSE , not EGO! When people are ANXIOUS for ANSWERS they will PRESSURE you into SPEAKING before you have all the FACTS or have TAKEN time to PRAY and CONSIDER the situation. If you ASK Him, God will tell YOU what to SAY and WHEN to SAY it. His PROMISE is: 'l have put my words in your mouth and covered you with the shadow of my hand' (lsaiah 51:16 NIV). Ego says, 'Don't JUST stand THERE, say something.' WISDOM says, 'Don't JUST say SOMETHING, stand there!' Quietly ASK God for insight. One insight from Him can settle THINGS in a HURRY . SOMEONE else's NEED to know shouldn't DETERMINE your need to SPEAK. When Jesus STOOD before PILATE in JUDGMENT He said, 'DO you THINK l CANNOT call on my Father, and he will at ONCE put at my DISPOSAL more than twelve legions of angels?' (Matthew 26:53 NIV). Yet the Bible says, 'He opened not his mouth.' When He was brought before PILATE , Jesus just STOOD there and said NOTHING. That's because He was not on trial, Pilate was. Jesus knew His DESTINY, and most importantly, He knew His FATHER intimately. And when you KNOW God, you can FACE anything with CONFIDENCE; and be FREE to be QUIET . What a WONDERFUL place to be! God's Servant Rev. Alfred Acheampong. Prayer Point: Heavenly Father, help me to always open my mouth in wisdom and to take time to pray before giving out answers and solutions to issues of concern in Jesus name. Stay Blessed!

When you make DECISIONS based on doubt and UNBELIEF , they never turn out right. After HEARING Jesus PROMISE to RISE from the DEAD , and actually SEEING Him ALIVE, the disciples went back to WHAT they were doing BEFORE they met Him: FISHING . NOW God will use our past EXPERIENCES to TEACH HIM us, but He ALWAYS LEADS us FORWARD; never back. When FEAR and UNCERTAINTY make us want to go back to the SECURITY of what we KNOW, we END UP WITH like the DISCIPLES: ' They went out and......GOT into THE boat, and that night they caught nothing' (John 21:3 NKJV). But there's good news: lf God called you, you are still called. Notice how Jesus addresses them: '"Children, have you any food?"' (John 21:5 NKJV). In spite of your lacklustre performance, you are still His child! Next, He tells them: '"Throw your net on the right side of the boat...". When they did, they were unable to haul the net in because of the large number of fish. Then the disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, "lt is the Lord!" (John 21:7 NIV). That morning Jesus ate breakfast with them, renewed fellowship, removed their doubts and sent them out to change the world. What's the lesson here? When we work out side God's will it is like fishing on the wrong side of the boat; we wear ourselves out and in the end have nothing to show for our efforts. Are you succeeding in life? No? Maybe you are fishing on the wrong side of the boat! Things aren't going to work out right until you submit to Christ, renew your fellowship with Him and allow Him to direct your steps. God's Servant. Rev Alfred Acheampong. Prayer Point: Heavenly Father, help me to continue to win souls for your kingdom in Jesus name. Anchor Scripture: 'THROW YOUR NET ON THE RIGHT SIDE.' (John 21:6 NIV) Stay Blessed! YearOfSupernaturalProvision

There's an INTERESTING sequence of EVENTS leading up to Peter's DENIAL of Christ.First, Jesus WARNED Peter that he was a TARGET: '"Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: But l have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren'" (Luke 22:31-32). Next we read that when the AUTHORITIES came to arrest Christ, Peter 'followed afar off' (Luke 22:54). Notice, Peter had GROWN distant from Christ. Then the man who SWORE he did die for Jesus DENIED knowing Him. At that point the ROOSTER crowed, Peter REMEMBERED his promise to Jesus, and 'went out, and wept bitterly' (Luke 22:55-62). Observe how it works: a) you are UNPREPARED for the enemy's ATTACK when it comes b) you ALLOW work and family PRESSURES to cause you to FORGET that your first COMMITMENT must always be to God. c) you END up spiritually DEFEATED. You say, 'That will never happen to me.' That's what Peter said! The reason '"Satan hath desired to have you,'" is because he KNOWS that when you become PASSIONATE about God's purposes, you are UNSTOPPABLE . lndeed, the very DESIRE that's BURNING within you right now is the FUEL that ENABLES you to withstand his ATTACKS. There's a reason the CRUCIFIXION has been REFERRED to as 'The Passion.' The Bible says of Christ: 'Who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God' (Hebrews 12:2 NKJV). Even as He was DYING, Jesus was MINISTERING to others. That's PASSION! So the Word for you today is, 'Don't LOSE your PASSION for God.' God's Servant Rev. Alfred Acheampong. Prayer Point: Heavenly Father, help me to continue to serve you with passion all the days of my life in Jesus name. Anchor Scripture: DON'T LOSE YOUR PASSION FOR GOD! 'LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART.' (Deuteronomy 6:5 NIV) Stay Blessed! YearOfSupernaturalProvision

The CHRISTMAS STORY goes like this: 'There were.... shepherds.... keeping watching over their flocks by night. And behold an angel of the Lord stood before them… The angel said to them, ' Do not be afraid, for behold, l bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people. For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Saviour, who is Christ the Lord. And this will be a sign to you: You will find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger (Luke 2:8-12 NKJV). Have YOU ever WONDERED why the ANGEL first TALKED to shepherds, a job CONSIDERED lowest on the SOCIAL ladder? Think about it: if the ANGEL had talked to church LEADERS they did have had to consult their DOCTRINAL texts books and DENOMINATIONAL boards. If he did appear to CELEBRITIES they did have had to check and see who was WATCHING. If he did appear to CHIEF EXECUTIVES they did have had to CONSULT their DIARIES and spreadsheets. So he gave the GREATEST news STORY in history to THOSE with no axe to GRIND, no REPUTATION to protect and no LADDER to climb; people with humble HEARTS and open MINDS; people with simple, CHILD- LIKE faith. Getting the idea? Outside Bethlehem there is a church marking Jesus' birthplace. Behind the altar is a CAVE with a SYMBOLIC star EMBEDDED in the floor. You can enter the CAVE, but with one REQUIREMENT you must KNEEL. The door is too LOW to get in STANDING up! God still OPERATES that way. You will find HIM among the COMMONPLACE. But to EXPERIENCE Him, you must get DOWN on your KNEES. God's Servant Rev. Alfred Acheampong. Prayer Point: Heavenly Father, Thank you for sending your Son to come to die for my salvation. I renew my pledge to serve Him in humility today and always in Jesus name. Anchor Scripture: 'NOW THERE WERE… SHEPHERDS...' (Luke 2:8 NKJV) Stay Blessed! YearOfSupernaturalProvision

There is the need to walk in FORGIVENESS throughout your EXISTENCE on earth. The American author Philip Yancey DESCRIBES forgiveness as an UNNATURAL act and says, 'You don't find dolphins forgiving sharks for eating their play mates. It's a dog-eat-dog world....not a dog-forgive-dog world.' BITTERNESS comes NATURALLY when you have been HURT, whereas, forgiving is SUPERNATURAL and requires God's enabling GRACE. But remember, Jesus said, 'lf you do not forgive... your Father will not forgive your sin' (Matthew 6:15 NIV). Humanly SPEAKING, there is not one single REASON God should forgive your SINS, yet the OFFENSES He PARDONS you for every day far OUTWEIGH anything you will EVER be ASKED to forgive OTHERS for. By FORGIVING, you change the whole DYNAMIC. You OPEN the door of a PRISON where you are both PRISONER and JAILOR, setting yourself and the other PERSON free. Grudges not only ISOLATE you from PEOPLE who were once FRIENDS, they actually SHORTEN your life by PRODUCING deadly enzymes that CONTRIBUTE to a host of physical AILMENTS. One man told his counsellor, 'l wish my BROTHER could come to my WEDDING, but we haven't SPOKEN in years.' The counsellor asked, 'How come?' Pausing, the man replied, 'lt sounds RIDICULOUS now, but I don't even REMEMBER.' DRIFTING apart is the natural RESULT of an UNFORGIVING spirit; FORGIVENESS reverses the TREND by restoring and HEALING broken RELATIONSHIPS. It's a medical CERTAINTY that FORGIVENESS adds YEARS to your life. As a rule, when you talk to PEOPLE who have passed the eighty-year mark you find THEY are at PEACE with THEMSELVES because they have LEARNED to FORGIVE and let GO. God's Servant Rev. Alfred Acheampong.

You KNOW you are GETTING older when: your KNEES buckle and your BELT doesn't fit again like before; you ARGUE about which denture is APPROPRIATE or best; you sit in a ROCKING chair and can't MAKE it go; by the TIME you HAVE lit the last CANDLE on your BIRTHDAY cake the first ONE has burned out; you no LONGER think 'getting older' JOKES are funny. GETTING older isn't for the FAINT-OF-HEART, so the Bible GIVES us glimpses of what it ENTAILS. Isaac's EYESIGHT gave out (Genesis 27: 1). Jacob COULD not see (Genesis 48:8-10). DAVID was always COLD (1 kings 1:1-4). ELISHA became sick and DIED (2 Kings 13:14) Paul REFERRED to himself as 'Paul, the aged' (Philemon v. 9 NAS) and TALKED about the PHYSICAL and EMOTIONAL PAINS of old age - of feeling ABANDONED and LONELY, being DISAPPOINTED by fellow WORKERS, and saying GOODBYE to FRIENDS he MIGHT never see again (2 Timothy 4:9-21). One author writes: 'On my most recent BIRTHDAY my sister sent me this MESSAGE: ' The bad news: outwardly we are wasting away.' (Did l mention this is my older sister, and as I like to remind her, she will always be my older sister!) Then she ADDED, 'The good news: We do not LOSE heart.... even THOUGH OUTWARDLY we are WASTING away.... the INWARD man is BEING renewed every day.' lf you have creaky joints, arthritic hands, weakened eyes, a slow step step, an ear that struggles to hear, or a heart that beats to the sound of a cholesterol drummer, be ENCOURAGED! God is PREPARING a.... CELEBRATION for the day you ARRIVE in heaven, where you will no LONGER age because you will be home in the LAND of the AGELESS.' God's Servant Rev. Alfred Acheampong. Prayer Point: Heavenly Father help me to grow gracefully in both physical and emotional strength and to patiently wait for the day l will go home in Jesus name. Anchor Scripture: '..... OUTWARDLY....

In the 1950s Mary Kay Ash (1918-2001)was FIRST woman to SIT on the board of directors at the World Gift Company. (USA) But it WASN'T all SMOOTH sailing! Although she did EARNED a place in the CORPORATE world, her ASSOCIATES refused to take her SERIOUSLY and ACCUSED her of 'thinking like a woman.' FRUSTRATED, she retired in 1963 to write a book DESIGNED to help WOMEN in business. Sitting at her kitchen table, she LISTED all the POSITIVES about the COMPANIES where she did worked, as well as the things that COULD be improved. In doing so she CREATED a marketing PLAN for her ideal COMPANY. Her accountant and her ATTORNEY discouraged her but with her HUSBAND'S SUPPORT port she CREATED a new cosmetic line and RECRUITED and trained an all-female sales force. Her motto was, 'GOD FIRST, FAMILY SECOND, CAREER THIRD.' When her husband died unexpectedly, she STAYED on track and LAUNCHED her new company. From a storefront in Dallas, USA and a $5000 investment, Mary Kay Cosmetics, lnc earned $200,000 the first year, quadrupled it the next, and when it went public in 1968 sales were over $10 million. Mary Kay wrote three best sellers, her business MODEL is taught at Harvard, Fortune Magazine named her COMPANY one of the Ten Best Companies for Women, as well as one of the 100 Best Companies to Work for in America. When she died in 2001 she had 800,000 independent beauty consultants in 37 countries with annual sales over $2 billion. Never UNDERESTIMATE someone with VISION and DETERMINATION ! When you face ADVERSITY don't GIVE up. 'There is wonderful joy ahead.' God's Servant Rev. Alfred Acheampong. Prayer Point: Heavenly Father help us not to give up in the face of adversities but to persevere till goal is achieved and purpose accomplished in Jesus name. Anchor Scripture: '.....

Jesus said, 'Ask, and it will be given to you...' (Matthew 7:7 NKJV). But that PROMISE is QUALIFIED by this condition: what you are ASKING for MUST be in HARMONY with God's WILL (1 John 5:14). When you sign a LEGAL contract you CANNOT afford to OVERLOOK the fine print. And as SOMEONE with a DREAM, you can't AFFORD to overlook REALITY. If you do, reality will STOP you cold in your TRACKS. When God GIVES you a DREAM , He gives you all that's NEEDED to FULFILL it. The more unrealistic your DREAM, the MORE you will be TEMPTED to depend upon things you CANNOT control (such as luck). You must BALANCE the boldness of DREAMING with the REALITY of your SITUATION . Yes, you need to REACH far BEYOND what you think you are CAPABLE of, but at the SAME time BASE what you DO on your STRENGTHS and other FACTORS within your CONTROL . The more CONCERNED you BECOME with THINGS you can't CONTROL, the LESS you will do to IMPROVE the things you can CONTROL. And when YOU do that, you START living in a FANTASY world. When God GIVES you a DREAM it will play to your STRENGTHS. Catherine B. Hales an American author observed: 'We SPEND most of our TWENTIES discovering all of the HUNDREDS of things we can BE. But as we MATURE into our THIRTIES, we begin to DISCOVER all of the things we will NEVER be. The CHALLENGE for us is to REACH our FORTIES and beyond and put it all TOGETHER - to know our CAPABILITIES and recognize our LIMITATIONS - and become the BEST we can be.' God's Servant Rev. Alfred Acheampong. Prayer Point: Heavenly Father, continue to strengthen my faith through circumstances of life, a strengthen and stable faith that will overcome all barriers to the accomplishment of God's agenda for my life in Jesus name.

Many PEOPLE have been SOLD a bill of GOODS when it comes to DREAMS. The saying, 'lf you believe it, you can achieve it,' is SIMPLY not true. Just about EVERY child DREAMS of being able to FLY like a BIRD but it's not GOING to HAPPEN, no matter how much they IMAGINE it. Ever watch? SOME of these MUSICAL contest dubbed 'America Got Talent' or 'Nigeria Got Talent'. Some of the CONTESTANTS are clueless when it comes to their ABILITY. They sing off key, they screech, they bellow and they howl. And when they are TOLD that they are not GOOD enough by the judges, these WANNABE stars throw TANTRUMS and say, 'That's just your opinion. I am GREAT.' We all need a REALITY check. Faith is not FANTASY. It's not MIND over matter. It's not having a LOTTERY mindset. People who THINK this way BELIEVE that if they SOMEHOW show up at the RIGHT place at the RIGHT time and MAKE the right CONNECTIONS, then presto, their FANTASY will come TRUE! Wouldn't it be NICE if it were that EASY? But it isn't. Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882) An American essayist, lecturer, philosopher, abolitionist and poet observed: 'SHALLOW men BELIEVE in luck... STRONG men BELIEVE in CAUSE and effect.' When God GIVES you a DREAM you need FAITH to BRING it to PASS. So the QUESTION you NEED to ask YOURSELF is, 'ls my DREAM from God?' When it is, YOU will have the NECESSARY gifts and TALENTS to FULFILL it. And what you LACK, God will PROVIDE in ADDITIONAL relationships and RESOURCES . The trouble with CHASING a FANTASY is, while you are DOING it you ARE not FULFILLING the DREAM God has GIVEN you for YOUR life. God's Servant Rev. Alfred Acheampong. Prayer Point: Heavenly Father, Thank You for giving me Faith, talents, giftings, abilities and resources to accomplish the vision that you have given me in life in Jesus name. Anchor Scripture: '....

The Bible says: '.... That energy is God's energy, an energy deep within you, God himself willing and working...' (Philippines 2:13 TM). Often the DREAM that WON'T let go of YOU, and the CHALLENGE that CONSUMES you, is God 'willing and working' in you. If you have the FAITH to answer His call you will ACHIEVE things you NEVER thought POSSIBLE. Thomas Edison (1847-1931) An American inventor and businessman said, 'lf we DID all the THINGS we were CAPABLE of doing, we WOULD literally ASTONISH ourselves.' Don't let your BACKGROUND, your PRECONCEIVED ideas, your PRESENT difficulties, your PAST failures, your self-doubt or the OPINIONS of others KEEP you from BECOMING all that God WANTS you to be. In lf lt Ain't Broke... Break lt! Authors Robert J. Kriegel and Louis Patler write, 'We DON'T have a clue as to WHAT people's LIMITS are. All the tests, stop-watches and finish lines in the world can't measure HUMAN potential. When someone is PURSUING their DREAM they will go far BEYOND what SEEMS to be their LIMITATIONS. The POTENTIAL that exists WITHIN us is limitless and LARGELY untapped.... When we think of LIMITS, we CREATE them.' lsrael did that; they 'LIMITED' God '....They did not remember His power...' (Psalm 78:41-42 NKJV). As a result, they DIED in the WILDERNESS. Sharon Wood, one of the first women to climb Mount Everest, said: 'lt wasn't a MATTER of physical STRENGTH but.... inner strength. The CONQUEST lay WITHIN my OWN mind. I had to PENETRATE those BARRIERS of self-imposed LIMITATION and get through to the GOOD stuff - the stuff called POTENTIAL , 90 percent of which we rarely use.' The Scripture, 'With God nothing will be impossible' is not just a nice SENTIMENT , it's the ABSOLUTE truth! God's Servant Rev. Alfred Acheampong.

Paul writes: 'And if by grace, then it is no longer by works; if it were, grace would no longer be grace.' Understand this: Grace is the power to excel or licence to just get by. Either way, you are accepted and considered righteous in God's eyes the moment you trust in Christ. Why would God arrange it that way? Because the love He gives us is unconditional, and only a response of love can satisfy Him. What an amazing truth; God makes Himself vulnerable to the rejection of people like us! Perhaps you are wondering, 'How can l prove that l truly love God? That's easy: you will love your brother and sister (1 John 4:21). You will love God's Word (Psalm 119:97). You will love spending time in prayer (Jeremiah 29:12). Grace, rightly understood, doesn't prevent holiness, it produces it. 'The grace of God that brings salvation.... teaches us to say "No" to ungodliness and wordly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives' (Titus 2:11-12 NIV). God's Servant Rev. Alfred Acheampong Prayer Point: Heavenly Father l thank You for the grace that is at work in me, enabling me to be and to labour with this bestowed grace and finish my cause in Jesus name.

When Edward and Alice went for MARRIAGE counselling the counsellor asked Alice, 'What first ATTRACTED you to Edward?' She replied, 'His strong, silent temperament.' The counsellor continued, 'So why do you WANT a divorce?' Alice answered, 'His strong, silent temperament!' Sometimes what drew us TOGETHER ends up a major IRRITANT. In every RELATIONSHIP there are TIMES when it SEEMS it would be EASIER to quit than to HANG in. But short of PHYSICAL and EMOTIONAL abuse, there are ADVANTAGES to working THROUGH your issues. For example, there are: 1) EMOTIONAL BENEFITS. Contrary to what the world CELEBRITIES would have us believe, (Divorce rate is high among them) DIVORCED people are MORE likely to feel DEPRESSED due to LONELINESS. In fact, many say although there were DISAGREEMENTS in the RELATIONSHIP, they MISS having somebody to come HOME to. 2) HEALTH BENEFITS. Emotional stress leads to PHYSICAL problems, and being in a RELATIONSHIP, especially a GOOD marriage, can be BENEFICIAL for your HEALTH. It's like having your own NURSE or therapist. 3) COMMUNITY BENEFITS. What your CHILDREN see INFLUENCES their future choices. Staying in your MARRIAGE teaches THEM how to work through RELATIONSHIP challenges. Couples with STRONG marriages are HELPING to build a nation of LOVING, responsible PARENTS who can GUIDE their CHILDREN onto the right track. 'Love... Keeps going to the end.' American author Christy Scannell says, 'When [my husband and I] got married, we AGREED it was for LIFE .... Weeks before our wedding we made a PACT to work out whatever PROBLEMS came our way.... Yes, we FIGHT. We ACCUSE. We toss barbs... but we won't be MOVING out or filing papers... whatever happens we are STAYING .' God's Servant Rev. Alfred Acheampong. Prayer Point: Heavenly Father, we come against all demonic attacks against Christian marriages worldwide in Jesus name. Anchor Scripture: '.... LOVE... KEEPS GOING TO THE END.'

Someone has said that we are NOT human beings TRYING to have a spiritual EXPERIENCE but SPIRITUAL beings trying to have a HUMAN experience. The life FORCE within you CAME from God, Who is Spirit. So in the act of WORSHIP, it's like GOING back to YOUR beginnings and RECONNECTING with Him. The story is told of a little boy sitting beside the crib of his newborn baby sister. He whispers to her, 'Tell me what God is like, for l have forgotten.' Jesus said, 'God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit' [out of the depths of your spirit]. When asked HOW he could SCORE over EIGHTY POINTS for his team in a SINGLE game, basketball SUPERSTAR Michael Jordan replied, 'Because l WAS IN THE ZONE.' ln a sense, HEARTFELT worship takes you INTO the GOD-ZONE! David the Psalmist lived there. 'Seven times a day do l praise [you]...' (Psalm 119:164). ' From the rising of the sun to its going down the Lord's name is to be praised' (Psalm 113:3 NKJV). 'As the deer pants for the water brooks, so pants my soul for You, O God' (Psalm 42:1 NKJV). What a PICTURE. In the stream of God's PRESENCE our deepest THIRST is quenched, our WOUNDS are healed, our STRENGTH is renewed, and we are placed BEYOND the reach of the ENEMY. Henry Blackaby an American pastor and author says, 'You will never be satisfied just to know about God. Really knowing God comes only through experience as He reveals Himself to you.' And that is what HAPPENS when you SPEND time 'in the worship zone.' God's servant Rev. Alfred Acheampong.

CHARACTER and MATURITY aren't qualities we NORMALLY expect to find in our CHILDREN. We assume that THESE things come LATER, , assumption that HINDERS their growth POTENTIAL. God's got HIGHER expectations for your CHILDREN! In His Word we READ: 1) 'Our sons... will be like well-nurtured plants.' Not in their forties, fifties or sixties but 'grown up in their youth' (KJV). They needn't WASTE their YOUTH; they can GROW now. Why does God LIKEN them to PLANTS? Because they have SPIRITUAL roots CAPABLE of drawing in His nurture, ways and strength, and are born with the potential for success. '... I write to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God lives in you, and you have overcome the evil one' (1 John 2:14 NIV). Hello, that's your CHILD He is talking ABOUT! 2) 'Our daughters will be like pillars carved to adorn a palace.' Why would God EQUATE your daughters with PILLARS? First, because they are DESIGNED to be UPRIGHT and support-giving; they are INDISPENSABLE to the building's STRUCTURAL integrity. Second, because they 'adorn' the BUILDING'S attractiveness, draw ATTENTION to its GRANDEUR and cause US to admire the ARCHITECT and owner. Palace pillars glorify the King, making Him, and them, look good. Your CHILDREN need you to BELIEVE in their God-given POTENTIAL. Do you remember what Jesus said about our children? '"... of such is the kingdom of heaven"' (Matthew 19:14 NIV). His faith in their potential is great. Yours MUST be TOO . God's Servant Rev. Alfred Acheampong. Prayer Point: Heavenly Father help us, parents to identify the God-given potentials of our children and so help them to develop, grow and become a profit and a benefit to themselves their generation in Jesus name.

Thinking MATURITY and SPIRITUAL growth will suddenly 'HAPPEN' to your children is like EXPECTING an acorn to SUDDENLY become an OAK TREE. Time, DEVELOPMENT and nurture are REQUIRED to produce an oak tree-the SAME GOES for RAISING CHILDREN . And the EARLIER you start the BETTER your results will be. 'lt is good for a man to BEAR the yoke while he is YOUNG.' Otherwise the passage of TIME will just PRODUCE unprepared CHILDREN with HABITS and ATTITUDES that are hard to SHAKE later on when life requires them to take on RESPONSIBILITY . In the 'yoke' metaphor the untrained ox learns by being YOKED to the well-trained one, sharing the workload and following its example. Parents tend to make two mistakes with their children. FIRST, THEY OVER-FUNCTION. They do everything for THEM, then blame the child for being LAZY. SECOND, THEY UNDER-FUNCTION. They DEMAND too much of the CHILD, frustrating them and making them feel INCOMPETENT . The key to building CHARACTER and CONFIDENCE is not to do it for them but WITH them, teaching them RESPONSIBILITY . The YOKE PRINCIPLE offers two great advantages: a) IT PROVIDES THE ROLE-MODEL ADVANTAGE. 'Apprentice' your CHILDREN by patiently, lovingly using on-the-job TRAINING to DEMONSTRATE and IMPART skills and COMPETENCE. They will APPRECIATE you when the TOOLS you provide them LEAD to a LIFETIME of natural and spiritual success; b) IT PROVIDES THE RELATIONSHIP ADVANTAGE . Those TRAINING TIMES and SHARED work are great OPPORTUNITIES to develop and DEEPEN an ENDURING and PRECIOUS BOND with your children. God's Servant Rev Alfred Acheampong. Prayer Point: Heavenly Father, help me to train my children in the way that they should go so when they grow they will not depart from it.

At age six, Henry John Heinz BEGAN helping his mother TEND the small GARDEN behind their FAMILY home. At TWELVE, he was WORKING three and a half acres of GARDEN, using a HORSE and cart for his three-times-a-week DELIVERIES to grocery stores THROUGHOUT the city of Pittsburgh.[USA] He went on to FOUND his own COMPANY and named it 57 Varieties. The Henry John Heinz COMPANY was incorporated in 1905, and TODAY, over ONE HUNDRED years later, it SELLS more than THIRTEEN HUNDRED products WORLDWIDE, ranging from KETCHUP to baby food. But THERE are OTHER things you NEED to know : Henry John Heinz LOVED Jesus and was DEEPLY involved in the PROMOTION of Sunday school in Pittsburg and around THE WORLD. His COMPANY was noted for PIONEERING safe and SANITARY food PREPARATION and for being AHEAD of its time in EMPLOYEE relations. He PROVIDED free medical BENEFITS, swimming and GYMNASIUM facilities, and PROMOTED women to POSITIONS of greater RESPONSIBILITY, making them SUPERVISORS. He earned a REPUTATION for enhancing the WORKING and living CONDITIONS of his WORKERS . In his will, Henry John Heinz said: 'l DESIRE to set forth at the very BEGINNING of this will, as the MOST important ITEM in it, a CONFESSION of my FAITH in Jesus Christ as my SAVIOUR . I also DESIRE to bear WITNESS to the fact that THROUGHOUT my life, in WHICH there were UNUSUAL joys and sorrows, l have been WONDERFULLY sustained by my FAITH in God THROUGH Jesus Christ. This LEGACY was left to ME by my CONSECRATED mother, a WOMAN of strong FAITH , and to it l ATTRIBUTE any success l have ATTAINED.' God's Servant Rev. Alfred Acheampong.

Heaven ANNOUNCED the birth of Jesus in these words: 'The virgin will... give birth to a son, and... call him lmmanuel which means,'God with us.' lsn't it ironic that the FIRST people to QUESTION the MIRACLE of the virgin BIRTH were RELIGIOUS leaders? The pharisees said to Jesus, '..." We were not born of fornication..."' (John 8:41 NKJV). Their INSINUATION was CLEAR and CRUEL . After all, Jesus couldn't point to Joseph and say, 'He's my father.' Understand this: Jesus had to be MAN in order to DIE , and He had to be God in ORDER to SAVE . You were the CHILD of an EARTHLY father, so you WERE 'born in sin.' But Jesus was the CHILD of a heavenly Father, so He broke the GENETIC cycle of SIN before He was BORN . In the Old Testament a SACRIFICIAL lamb had to be WITHOUT blemish (birth defect) or spot (something picked up along the way). Since Jesus had NEITHER inherited sin nor practiced sin, He qualifies as '... "the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world"' (John 1:29). The VIRGIN birth is TRUE because: a) THE ANGEL OF THE LORD ANNOUNCED IT (Matthew 1:20); b) MARY'S HUSBAND-TO-BE ACCEPTED IT (Matthew 1:24); c) ELIZABETH , HER COUSIN, RECEIVED IT BY DIVINE REVELATION (Luke 1:41-42); d) THE STORY WAS WRITTEN BY A WELL RESPECTED MEDICAL DOCTOR WHO KNEW THE CHARACTER OF ALL CONCERNED: '...since l myself have carefully INVESTIGATED everything from the beginning, it seemed good also to me to WRITE an ORDERLY ACCOUNT for you... that you may know the CERTAINTY of the THINGS you have been TAUGHT' (Luke 1:3-4 NIV). God's Servant Rev. Alfred Acheampong.

To be 'saved' YOU must PUT your TRUST in Christ, and NOTHING else. You say, 'But what if l clean up my act?' No, there are PEOPLE who live BETTER by ACCIDENT than you do on PURPOSE . Our DISTINCTION as Christians is that we have PLACED our TRUST in the SHED blood of Jesus Christ, and NOTHING else. Paul lays it clearly on the line: 'lf you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation' (vv. 9-10 NKJV). SALVATION is the RESULT of what you BELIEVE in your HEART about the FINISHED work of Christ, and what you CONFESS with your LIPS . Those two elements, BELIEVING and CONFESSING , bring you into a STATE of 'RIGHTEOUSNESS ' in the EYES of God. Once you PLACE your TRUST in Christ, God sees you as RIGHTEOUS from that MOMENT on. The word 'RIGHTEOUS ' simply MEANS 'to be in right STANDING with God.' What a WAY TO LIVE! What a WELL OF JOY! What a SOURCE OF CONFIDENCE ! God's Servant Rev. Alfred Acheampong.

Each time we OFFER our BODIES as 'living sacrifices' to God, our STUBBORN nature will REBEL . But WITH Christ in CONTROL we can BREAK its grip. 'Do not conform... to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind' (NIV). We have the OPTION ; be CONFORMED or TRANSFORMED ! Deciding 'l will not conform to the world' leads to a TRANSFORMED LIFESTYLE. Your old NATURE naturally conforms, ENSLAVING you to WORLDLY influences. Philip's translation says: 'Don't let the world around you squeeze you into its own mould.' CONFORMING to the world's VALUES , like SENSUALITY , PRIDE , CONTROL , etc, will ROB you of the LIBERATING power of Christ LIVING in you, RESULTING in a recurring CYCLE of guilt, FAILURE and DISCOURAGEMENT . CHOOSING not to CONFORM to this WORLD is what OPENS the DOOR to your TRANSFORMATION . UNLIKE conformity, which is EXTERNALLY initiated, your WALK with God will BECOME an outer EXPRESSION of an INNER change. The tadpole's life is TRANSFORMED into the FROG'S LIFE, and the CATERPILLAR'S into the butterfly's. You become TRANSFORMED from the INSIDE out. How does it HAPPEN ? '... greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world' (1 John 4:4). Add to your DECISION not to CONFORM , your COMMITMENT to 'the RENEWING of your mind,' which in GREEK text MEANS you think God's THOUGHTS instead of your OLD thoughts, then watch as a Holy Spirit - empowered TRANSFORMATION begins to TAKE place in your DAILY LIFE. God's servant Rev. Alfred Acheampong Prayer Point: Heavenly Father help me to continue to grow spiritually so that l am always in the position of power liberating force against conforming to the world in Jesus name.

What does it MEAN to give YOURSELF fully to God? 1) IT'S AN ACT OF WORSHIP 'Offer your bodies... this is your spiritual act of worship' (v. 1 NIV). WORSHIP isn't just ATTENDING Sunday service, singing praises and saying prayers. '... this people... honour Me with their lip service, but they remove their hearts far from Me...' (lsaiah 29:13 NAS). It calls for SURRENDERING your HEART to God TWENTY-FOUR hours of every day; whether you are ALONE or in a CROWD , at work, ENJOYING recreation, SPENDING FAMILY TIME , at school, on a date etc. If your HEART ISN'T MOVING you, your BEHAVIOR will only be an ACT of RELUCTANT compliance RATHER than one of joyful COMMITMENT . SURRENDERING to God isn't a PART-TIME thing done for your own BENEFIT ; it's a FULL-TIME act of WORSHIP done for God's BENEFIT . 2) IT'S A RESPONSE TO TO GOD'S GENEROSITY. '... in view of God's mercy... offer your bodies...' (Romans 12:1 NIV). God doesn't say, 'lf you don't SURRENDER l will PUNISH .' THERE'S no arm TWISTING . You don't SUBMIT through CLENCHED teeth because of fear; no, it's a response to a DEBT . Everything God asks is INITIATED by His GIVING . Your REPENTANCE is a RESPONSE to His LOVE . Your tithe is a RESPONSE to His BLESSING . Your OBEDIENCE is a RESPONSE to His PROMISES . God's GRACE is never 'a deal,' lt's the 'FREE GIFT' of His LOVE to the UNDESERVING (Romans 5:18). Therefore 'in view of' - as a RATIONAL response to - His mercy, 'offer your bodies as living SACRIFICES .' lt's your 'REASONABLE SERVICE' and it will be 'ACCEPTABLE TO GOD.' God's servant Rev. Alfred Acheampong. Prayer Point: Heavenly Father continue to accept my reasonable service in your house of worship with grace and understanding in Jesus name. Stay Blessed!

TRANSFORMATION : 1) Requires personal SACRIFICE . It's not easy, natural or AUTOMATIC . It calls for BECOMING a 'LIVING SACRIFICE' The problem with 'living' SACRIFICES is their TENDENCY to keep ESCAPING the altar, having to be LED back REPEATEDLY to be SACRIFICED again and AGAIN . Salvation is an INSTANT , once-for-all EXPERIENCE , but there can be no INSTANT , once-for-all 'LIVING SACRIFICE' lt's a day-by-day, moment-by-moment RECOMMITMENT which means BRINGING our STUBBORN nature BACK to the altar, SURRENDERING it to God as OFTEN as necessary. Don't WAIT for your OLD nature to IMPROVE or to AGREE to die before CONCLUDING your sacrifice is truly GENUINE . And don't let it DISCOURAGE you in your BATTLE for victory; your old NATURE and your REGENERATED spirit are mutual ENEMIES , '...constantly fighting each other, so you are not free to carry out your good intentions' (Galatians 5:17 NLT). Your job isn't to OBLITERATE the flesh but to CRUCIFY it each TIME it wants to TAKE over, REFUSING to let it curtail or CRIPPLE your commitment to SPIRITUAL growth. 2) IS A TWO-SIDED ISSUE. '.... offer your bodies as living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God' (Romans 12:1 NIV). That INVOLVES a resolute DECISION of mind and WILL , because our BODIES don't SURRENDER themselves. Until YOU DELIBERATELY choose to 'offer your [body]... to God,' your FLESH will act UNRESTRAINED . '... Just as you..OFFER the parts of your BODY in SLAVERY ... to ever increasing wickedness, so now offer THEM in slavery to righteousness leading to holiness' (Romans 6:19 NIV). When you SURRENDER to your lower IMPULSES, you reap SIN. When you SURRENDER to God, you reap His BLESSING . God's Servant Rev. Alfred Acheampong. Prayer Point: Heavenly Father, help me to live a surrendered life constantly bringing it to the altar for crucifixion in Jesus name. Anchor Scripture: 'DO NOT BE CONFORMED.... BUT BE TRANSFORMED..

A renowned man of God said, 'We like to IMAGINE ourselves a RACE of rugged individuals- ( men of steel). The truth is, we HATE to appear DIFFERENT lest we be OSTRACISED, branded FANATICS and REJECTED. So, we CONFORM. You will see it in the CHILD eager to PLEASE; the ADOLESCENT aligning with PEER PRESSURE; the ADULT breaking their BACK to keep up with the JONESES.' Just being DIFFERENT for its own sake is LIKELY to be WORTHLESS, even counterproductive. WHAT God WANTS from US is our WILLINGNESS to be radically TRANSFORMED. 'Therefore, l urge you...to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God- this is your spiritual act of worship. Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind' (vv. 1-2 NIV). Here are TWO important OBSERVATIONS to HELP you reach that goal: FIRST: Transformation BELONGS to believers. The UNBELIEVER can't BREAK the WORLD'S control over them WITHOUT Christ, but believers are promised: '...the Spirit who lives in you is greater than the spirit who lives in the world' (1John 4:4 NLT). God's INDWELLING Spirit ENABLES you to resist the WORLD'S pressure to CONFORM you to its WAYS. SECOND: God's appeal is urgent. 'l urge you, brothers.' Words like beg, plead, beseech are used in some translations because the appeal isn't secondary or OPTIONAL. It's VITAL, a divine imperative! God is seeking for SURRENDERED vessels that are ready to be TRANSFORMED for His USE. Are you willing to say, 'Yes, Lord, use me'? God's servant Rev Alfred Acheampong.

Have you heard about the butterfly effect? In physics, it describes how tiny changes in initial conditions (such as the flap of a butterfly's wings) can affect weather thousands of miles away. Imagine-a fragile butterfly can alter weather patterns on another continent! Had it not flapped its wings, the trajectory of the weather system might have been vastly different. What can you learn from this? You may feel insignificant at times, as fragile as the butterfly. It may seem like you are just flapping your wings when you are standing alone for truth and honesty in the workplace or the home. You say, 'What can l do in the face of a problem this big?' More than you think! Your faith, your words, your deeds, your prayers, your example, your kindness and persistence can release the power of God and activate the forces of heaven to go to work in that situation. God loves to use things that we consider to be insignificant, like Moses' rod which parted the Red Sea, or David's slingshot that brought down a giant, or a boy's lunch that fed a multitude. Your flapping wings can initiate changes that will influence lives around you for all eternity. Jesus said, 'lf you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, "move from here to there," and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you' (Matthew 17:20 NKJV). It's not about the size of the seed you sow, but about the God Who can make it grow. It's not about the prayer you pray but about the greatness of One Who answers prayer.

The Bible says: 'There was a MAN named SIMEON who LIVED in Jerusalem. He WAS a righteous MAN and very DEVOUT...and he eagerly EXPECTED the Messiah to COME...The Holy Spirit had REVEALED to him that he WOULD not DIE until he had SEEN the Lord's Messiah. That DAY the Spirit LED him to the Temple. So when Mary and Joseph CAME to present the BABY Jesus to the Lord as the law REQUIRED, Simeon was THERE. He took the CHILD in his ARMS and praised God, saying, 'Lord, now l can die in peace...l have seen the Saviour." (Luke 2:25-34 TLB). The STORY of Simeon TEACHES us three IMPORTANT truths: FIRST: No matter how long it takes, if you seek the Lord you will FIND Him. Or better yet, He will FIND you and REVEAL Himself to you. SECOND: God, not you, CHOOSES the time and the MANNER in which He will come to YOU. Simeon didn't GET to see Christ's AMAZING ministry during His three and a half years of supernatural power. He only saw the NEWBORN baby in Mary's arms. But he SAW God, and that was ENOUGH for him. THIRD: Even though he was 'very devout,' Simeon REALISED that he was ONLY READY to die when he MET the LORD and EMBRACED Him. Some of us DON'T want to die UNTIL we have seen the world. Simeon didn't WANT to die until he had SEEN the Redeemer of the world. So the question you must answer is- have you MET the Lord? Is He your PERSONAL Saviour? Only when you have the RIGHT answer, are you READY to die. God's servant Rev Alfred Acheampong.

In 1955 Rosa Parks (1913-2005) [ "The first lady of civil rights" and the mother of the freedom movement" in America was arrested in Alabama for REFUSING to give her SEAT on the BUS to a white man. BOYCOTTS and BLOODSHED followed UNTIL the U.S. Supreme Court ruled SEGREGATION unconstitutional. Later Rosa wrote: 'Knowing what MUST be DONE does AWAY with FEAR. When l sat down on the bus that DAY l had no IDEA history was BEING MADE, l was only thinking about GETTING home. But l had to MAKE up my MIND. After many years of BEING a VICTIM...not giving up my SEAT, and whatever l had to face AFTERWARDS, wasn't important...l FELT the Lord WOULD give me the STRENGTH to ENDURE whatever l had to FACE. It was time for someone to stand up - or in my case, sit down.' Courage is DISPLAYED at unexpected MOMENTS; what you DO in such MOMENTS can CHANGE you, and those AROUND you. The story's TOLD of a spy who was SENTENCED to DEATH by a general in the Persian Army. (Now present day lran) The general had a STRANGE custom of GIVING CONDEMNED criminals a CHOICE between the FIRING SQUAD and 'the big door.' When the general ASKED, 'What will it be?' the spy CHOSE the firing squad. TURNING to his AIDE the general said, 'They ALWAYS PREFER the known to the UNKNOWN, yet, we gave them a CHOICE.'

Joshua DISCOVERED four REASONS why YOU need to be STRONG and DEMONSTRATE courage. Yesterday we looked at the first two. Today let's look at the next two. 3) FOR THE SAKE OF OTHERS. People are WATCHING you. They WANT to KNOW if you WILL face the SITUATION with COURAGE or buckle before it in FEAR. Your ability to DEMONSTRATE faith in the MIDST of difficulties WILL give them COURAGE. The BATTLE is not JUST about you, it's ABOUT those God has PLANNED to bless THROUGH you. You may not HAVE money or fame, but you have INFLUENCE. The ATTITUDES you display and the DECISIONS you make will INFLUENCE your children and your grandchildren. You say, 'But l am afraid.' We all EXPERIENCE fear. But the Psalmist declared, 'Whenever l am afraid, l will trust in You' (Psalm 56:3 NKJV). 4) FOR YOUR ENEMIES' SAKE. David wrote: 'You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies..' (Psalm 23:5 NKJV). God WILL not only FIGHT for you, He WILL vindicate YOU in the EYES of your CRITICS. It's good to have CRITICS and COMPETITORS. Sometimes a FOE can press YOU into VICTORY where a friend CANNOT. Who WOULD ever have HEARD of David, without Goliath? Who WOULD have KNOWN about Moses, if there HAD been no Pharaoh OPPRESSING God's PEOPLE? And what would have BEEN known ABOUT Esther, without Haman's evil PLOT against the Jews? What's your DREAM? Is THERE an ENEMY standing BETWEEN you and its FULFILLMENT? Dare to CONFRONT them and THEY will BECOME an INSTRUMENT in God's HAND to press YOU into your DESTINY. God's servant Rev Alfred Acheampong.

Why did God say to Joshua, 'Be strong and of good courage' ? For four reasons: 1) FOR JOSHUA'S OWN SAKE. God had a lot INVESTED in Joshua; the FUTURE of an entire nation RESTED on his shoulders. And since God has a lot INVESTED in you too, you MUST believe that it's His WILL for you to SUCCEED. If you GREW up in a FAMILY or CHURCH where you FELT unworthy of God's FAVOUR and UNENTITLED to His blessing, you must REPROGRAMME your MIND with the Scriptures. '...then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success' (Joshua 1:8 NKJV) 2) FOR THE LORD'S SAKE. God told Joshua, '....do not be afraid...for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go' (Joshua 1:9 NKJV). God's REPUTATION was on the LINE. The nations in Canaan had HEARD how He DELIVERED the lsraelites from SLAVERY, drowned the Egyptians army in the Red Sea, and FED His people with FOOD from heaven every day. Had Joshua FAILED to conquer the PROMISED LAND it would have BROUGHT reproach to God's name and made His people a LAUGHING stock. The Lord had a BIGGER stake in Israel's SUCCESS than ANYONE else. His plan to bring FORTH the Messiah DEPENDED on their SUCCESS. His desire WAS to turn a BUNCH of slaves into the GREATEST nation on earth-one that SERVED the true and LIVING God. And Joshua had a BIG part to PLAY in it. Where did Joshua's STRENGTH come from? This promise: '....the Lord your God is with YOU wherever YOU go' (Joshua 1:9 NIV).

If you WANT a big HARVEST, you will NEED a big ox with a BIG appetite who CREATES big messes. For example, if you DECIDE to have CHILDREN you WILL have LOTS of joy, and LOTS of MESSES to clean UP. Within MINUTES, children can TURN a nice ORDERLY and FURNISHED house and make it LOOK like a trial RUN for the BATTLE of Armageddon. So you have an OPTION: live by YOURSELF and ENJOY a less COMPLICATED life, or ACCEPT the PROBLEMS that COME with having a FAMILY. Even in the dictionary, the words STRIVING and STRUGGLE come before the word SUCCESS. Dr. John Maxwell says, 'At some point you have to make a TRANSITION from BELIEVER of the DREAM, to buyer of the DREAM. No dream COMES true WITHOUT somebody PAYING for it. And PART of the PRICE you will HAVE to pay is in LEARNING from the MISTAKES you make. You can attend EVERY success SEMINAR, read every SUCCESS manual and follow every SUCCESS mentor, but the PRICE must ALWAYS be paid in MESSES and MISTAKES. There isn't a single PERSON in the WORLD who has ACHIEVED anything WITHOUT paying a PRICE for it. Some PAY with their LIVES or their FREEDOM.

Peter writes: 'Never return...insult for insult...'(1Peter 3:9 AMP). When you are UNDER fire, INSTEAD of DEFENDING yourself with CAUSTIC COMMENTS and clever COMEBACKS designed to put the OTHER guy in his PLACE, pray 'for their WELFARE, HAPPINESS, and PROTECTION..that you may...inherit a blessing [From God]' (v.9 AMP).'Keep [your] tongue...from evil' (v.10 AMP). Some PEOPLE never LEARN this lesson. There is an old English headstone that reads: 'Beneath this sod, this lump of clay, lies ARABELLA YOUNG; who on the 24th of May BEGAN to hold HER tongue.' During the French Revolution (1789-1794) the king and queen were beheaded, leaving the crown prince orphaned. There was talk about beheading him too, until somebody said, 'lf you kill him you will just send his soul to heaven. Instead, turn him over to Old Meg and she will teach him vile, filthy words so his soul will be damned forever!' However, when they turned the prince over to this woman of the streets who tried to get him to repeat all kinds of profanity, he refused, saying, 'l was born to be a king and I will not say it!' Bottom line, when you are the child of the king your words should reflect it. 'Seek peace' (v.11 NKJV). It takes courage to be the PEACEMAKER. Everywhere you look PEOPLE are angry ABOUT the ECONOMY, health care, unemployment and just about anything else you can think of. Being a PEACEMAKER isn't the same as being a PEACEKEEPER. PEACEKEEPERS look for WAYS to keep the PEACE by maintaining a delicate balance between both sides. PEACEMAKERS plough into the MIDDLE of the CONFLICT and help them MAKE PEACE with each other. God's servant Rev Alfred Acheampong. Prayer Point: Heavenly Father, l continue to Thank you for the journey of life, full of stumbling blocks and challenges. With each hurdle there is growth.

Unity is FOCUSING on what UNITES us, INSTEAD of the petty ISSUES that divide us. 2) 'SYMPATHISING WITH ONE ANOTHER.' The Greek INTERPRETATION of the word SYMPATHY is 'to feel for' others. 'When [they are] HAPPY, be happy with THEM..when they are SAD, be sad' (Romans 12:15 CEV). When you BECOME more CONCERNED about OTHERS than YOU are about YOURSELF, you are STARTING to mature. 3) 'LOVING EACH OTHER.' We all need FRIENDS to LOVE and SUPPORT us.

We did ALL do WELL to REMEMBER that. It's EASY to LOVE God because of EVERYTHING He's done FOR us; it's HARDER when it COMES to LOVING those we HAVE to live WITH. A respected Bible teacher says: 'lf there's ANYTHING that WOULD keep me AWAY from Christ if l was LOST..it would be the ATTITUDE of Christians TOWARDS one ANOTHER...When l was a child and an ARGUMENT broke out...my FATHER used to SAY, "We may have a few DIFFERENCES inside THESE walls but REMEMBER, we are FAMILY. If your BROTHER or SISTER needs you...take CARE of THEM...love THEM...and pull for THEM." ' Everything we need to KNOW...can be FOUND in THESE two verses, 'Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind let each of you regard one another as more important than himself..look out...for the interest of others' (Philippians 2:3-4 NAS) ln other words, THINK about the OTHER person...Don't be SELFISH. Sounds like SOMETHING a teacher MIGHT say to a ROOMFUL of nursery CHILDREN..yet how MANY adult PROBLEMS could be SOLVED if that was the driving FORCE in our RELATIONSHIPS?...How MANY couples COULD reconcile their MARITAL differences?' Jesus said, 'People will know...you are my followers if you love each other.' In the hours before He died He was STILL praying for US to '...become one HEART and MIND...' (John 17:21 TM). God's servant Rev Alfred Acheampong. Prayer Point: Heavenly Father help us to continue to love and to support one another in sincerity of heart more especially through prayers in Jesus name.

Pastor, are YOU an EMACIATED chef? Are you SERVING healthy MEALS to your CONGREGATION every SUNDAY, while you YOURSELF are STARVING to death SPIRITUALLY? Have YOU allowed the BUSINESS side of the CHURCH to steal your PRAYER life and ROB you of TIME spent in the Scriptures BUILDING yourself UP? One of the great DANGERS of ministry is GIVING out but not TAKING in. Financially, when YOU give out MORE than you TAKE in you END up BANKRUPT. And the same thing CAN happen to YOU SPIRITUALLY. When Joshua REPLACED Moses as the LEADER of Israel, God said the same THING to him THREE TIMES: 'Be strong and of good courage' (vv.6, 7, 9). Then He explained to Joshua where his strength and courage would come from: 'This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success' (NKJV). Note the words, 'you will make your way prosperous'. You HAVE a ROLE to play in BOTH your STRENGTH and your SUCCESS. What is it? To 'MEDITATE ON [God's Word] day and night'. To MEDITATE is to RUMINATE. Cows are RUMINANTS. They chew the cub, SWALLOW it, BRING it BACK up and CHEW it SOME MORE, and EACH time THEY do, THEY get SOMETHING more OUT of it. So CHEW on God's Word. Think ABOUT it. PROCESS it. If you WANT to be SPIRITUALLY HEALTHY, MEDITATE and RUMINATE on the Scriptures! God's Servant Rev. Alfred Acheampong Prayer Point: Heavenly Father, help me to continue to build myself up spiritually by meditating on the scriptures for my nourishment, empowerment and success in my calling in Jesus name. Anchor Scripture: '...MEDITATE ON IT DAY AND NIGHT...' (Joshua 1:8 NIV) Stay Blessed!

Mark Roberts an American Presbyterian pastor and a writer, writes: 'On a mountain hike...we spotted a peak that seemed to be just a couple of miles further, so we headed for it. By the time we conquered it we did used up most of our water. Our return...was mercifully downhill, but there wasn't even a tiny spring to slake our nagging thirst...I spent three hours longing for water, thinking of nothing else besides how wonderful it would feel to get a drink'. When David wrote, 'My soul thirsts for You...in a dry and weary land where there is no water', his enemies were pressing in on him and he wondered if God had forgotten him. Ever been there? Your PAIN is UNBEARABLE and God FEELS distant? Just as PHYSICAL thirst is YOUR body's WAY of telling YOU that YOU need WATER, inside you THERE'S a SPIRITUAL thirst ONLY God can QUENCH. And He will: '..[When you] require Me [as a vital necessity]...[you will] find Me when you search...with all your heart' (Jeremiah 29:13 AMP). Half-hearted EFFORTS won't cut it! One Bible teacher says: 'The only way to know God is...FIRST-HAND. Those who are CONTENT to know Him through a SECOND-HAND relationship DON'T really know Him...They WANT others to PRAY for them RATHER than praying THEMSELVES...to provide the VERSE rather than reading it THEMSELVES. They are content with a TV church, or a SERMON on the internet...Every PERSON needs to TEST God...to SEE if He is WHO He says...if His PROMISES are true...if He will ANSWER your PRAYERS...if He will be THERE when you NEED Him...if He will GIVE you WISDOM, STRENGTH, ENDURANCE and PERSEVERANCE...He is, they ARE, and He WILL every TIME'. God's Servant Rev. Alfred Acheampong Prayer Point: Heavenly Father, energise my desire to always thirst and hunger for Your presence, for in Your presence is fullness of joy, peace, comfort and blessings in Jesus name.

Jesus said, 'Do not worry, saying, "What shall we eat?" or "What shall we drink?"or "What shall we wear?" For [non-believers] run after all these things' (Matthew 6:31-32 NIV). One author WRITES: 'The other DAY I was WORRYING about SOMETHING when I HEARD a minister say, "WORRY is a LACK of TRUST in GOD". So then I began to WORRY over the FACT that I was WORRYING. Then SOMEONE else said, "Just DON'T worry about it". Sounds SIMPLE ENOUGH, but I COME from a LINE of people who speak FAITH, but act OUT of FEAR. Then a friend CAME up WITH this NOVEL idea: "Why DON'T you TRY this WORRY coupon. It ENTITLES you to WORRY as much AS you LIKE, but only if: A) IT WILL FEED AND CLOTHE YOU; B) It will ADD to your LIFE instead of TAKING from it; C) It will make TOMORROW better; D) You don't MIND ACTING like a non-believer!" Then he said, "If that DOESN'T work MAKE a list of all the things you are WORRYING about, place it in a BOX and PUT it up on a SHELF where YOU can't SEE it. If God is EITHER UNWILLING or UNABLE to take CARE of it, YOU can ALWAYS go GET the BOX and start WORRYING again but at LEAST give Him a CHANCE. And while you are WAITING for Him to ANSWER, PRAY, STAND on His WORD and DON'T GIVE your WORRIES a VOICE". 'The Amplified Bible says: 'Casting the whole of your care [all your anxieties, all your worries, all your concerns, once and for all] on Him, for He cares for you'. God's Servant Rev. Alfred Acheampong Anchor Scripture: 'CASTING ALL YOUR CARE UPON HIM, FOR HE CARES FOR YOU'.

Let's LOOK at SOME of the EXCUSES we OFFER for not PURSUING the DREAM God has GIVEN us: First - Dreams DON'T come TRUE for ORDINARY people like ME. The Wright brothers WANTED to FLY. Winston Churchill ENVISIONED a free Europe. Dr. Martin Luther king jr. DREAMED of racial EQUALITY. But you DON'T HAVE to be a WORLD figure to have a DREAM. No, the PURSUIT of a DREAM is what MAKES the difference between ORDINARY and EXTRAORDINARY people. Ordinary PEOPLE live EXTRAORDINARY lives when they FOLLOW their DREAM. Why do we SAY that? Because a GOD-GIVEN dream will MOTIVATE you to MAKE important CHANGES in your LIFE. You won't JUST change WHO you ARE in ORDER to live out YOUR dream; you PURSUE your DREAM, and the PROCESS changes WHO you are and WHAT you can ACCOMPLISH. In other WORDS, your dream is BOTH your GOAL and your change agent. Second - 'If the DREAM isn't BIG it's not WORTH pursuing'. Size DOESN'T determine SIGNIFICANCE. Your DREAM doesn't have to be BIG; it just has to be BIGGER than YOU. Mother Teresa (1910-1997) the Albanian lndian Roman Catholic nun and missionary said 'We CAN'T all do GREAT things, BUT we CAN all do SMALL things with GREAT love'. Third - 'Now is NOT the RIGHT time to PURSUE my DREAM'. Permission to PURSUE your DREAM comes from TWO sources: God and YOURSELF. British novelist George Eliot (1819-1880) said, 'It's NEVER too LATE to BECOME what you MIGHT have BEEN'. The TIMING will NEVER be perfect for YOU to pursue YOUR dream so you MIGHT as well START now. If you DON'T, next YEAR you WILL be one YEAR older and NOT a step CLOSER to it. God's Servant Rev. Alfred Acheampong Anchor Scripture: 'BUT THEY ALL...BEGAN TO MAKE EXCUSES...' (Luke 14:18 NKJV) Prayer Point: Heavenly Father give me the courage and strength to pursue my God-given dream and I bind any excuse that will seek to slow down, or prevent it's fulfillment in Jesus name.

When Moses KILLED the Egyptian and HID the body in the SAND, he looked AROUND to make SURE no one was WATCHING. Ever done SOMETHING wrong when NOBODY was WATCHING? We all HAVE! One pastor says he COUNSELS people whose BUSINESS travels MAKES them VULNERABLE. 'An executive FINDS that away from HOME she's INAPPROPRIATELY flirtatious, even THOUGH she LOVES her husband and WANTS to remain FAITHFUL. A high POWERED professional STRUGGLES with [sexually explicit images] in hotel rooms, even THOUGH he's not TEMPTED by them at HOME. The INTERNET sets INNUMERABLE ethical traps...By FREQUENTING online CHAT rooms a wife BECOMES entangled in an EMOTIONAL relationship with ANOTHER man...a husband STRUGGLES with the AVAILABILITY of internet pornography...The SENSE that no ONE was WATCHING allowed THEM to sin in WAYS they would NEVER sin in ORDINARY, observed life.' HERE'S WHAT YOU NEED TO REALISE: 1) God SEES you WHEN nobody else DOES. When you COUPLE that with a DESIRE to PLEASE Him and not GRIEVE Him, it MAKES a difference in HOW you act. 2) 'The godly offer good counsel..' (Psalm 37:30 NLT). If you know you are VULNERABLE in a CERTAIN area, SHARE it with SOMEONE who will PRAY for you and HOLD you ACCOUNTABLE. (Nowadays there are even computer programmes that will monitor your internet activity and send a report to others). 3) Avoid SITUATIONS that AFFORD you too MUCH privacy. One woman CLOSED her PERSONAL bank ACCOUNT and opened a joint ACCOUNT with her HUSBAND because her SPENDING was out of CONTROL. God CREATED you to LIVE in RELATIONSHIP with OTHERS, and the MORE OPEN and HONEST you are, the less LIKELY you will BE to STRAY. God's Servant Rev.

God's GRACE comes to US free and CLEAR, with no STRINGS attached. In FACT, He's more TOLERANT and less JUDGEMENTAL than MANY of us ARE. We weren't WORTHY of, didn't DESERVE it but BECAUSE we BELONG to Christ, 'Out of His...(abundance) we have all received...one grace after another...spiritual blessing upon spiritual blessing...favour upon favour and gift [heaped] upon gift.' Richard John Neuhaus (1936-2009) a Canadian born American priest and writer said, 'The MORALISING and LEGALISING of the Gospel of God's GRACE is a dull HERESY peddled to DISAPPOINTED people WHO are ANGRY because THEY have not RECEIVED what they HAD no good REASON to EXPECT'. When you truly grasp the CONCEPT of GRACE: 1) You will gain a fresh APPRECIATION for God's GIFTS to you - THINGS like SALVATION and FORGIVENESS, the gift of LIFE, HEALTH, LAUGHTER, music, BEAUTY and FRIENDSHIP. 2) You will be less CRITICAL and less CONCERNED with what OTHER PEOPLE do. Ever heard the saying, 'I'm okay with me. I don't need to make you wrong?' WHEN you OPERATE in the FREEDOM that COMES with GRACE, you are OKAY letting other PEOPLE chart THEIR own COURSE and MAKE DECISIONS you may NOT MAKE. 3) You will BECOME more TOLERANT and LESS JUDGEMENTAL. Instead of focusing on APPEARANCE based on RELIGIOUS PERFORMANCE, you will look for AUTHENTICITY and a GENUINE love FOR God. 4) You will GROW SPIRITUALLY. David said, 'He brought me out into a spacious place...' (Psalm 18:19 NIV). GRACE EXPANDS your HORIZONS so you can NEVER go BACK to WHERE you ONCE were. God's Servant Rev. Alfred Acheampong Prayer Point: Heavenly Father, thank You, that we will continue to labour in the sufficiency of Your grace, knowing that much can be accomplished through grace in Jesus name.

The Psalmist wrote: 'Before l was afflicted l went astray, but now l keep Your word' (Psalm 119:67 NKJV). By DOING it the WRONG way, he EVENTUALLY learned to DO it the RIGHT way. The TRUTH is, WHEN you fail in one AREA, it can DRIVE you to EXPLORE other AREAS. Most of LIFE'S successes are BASED on the PRINCIPLE of trial and ERROR. Often FAILURE is not FALLING short of your GOAL, it's SIMPLY not MAKING the EFFORT. Failure can ACTUALLY help you DISCOVER your AREA of SUCCESS. For EXAMPLE, when you HATE your JOB you will LIKELY fail in it. Yet it's in LOSING that HATED POSITION that you MAY be PRESSED to pursue what you REALLY like to DO, and are CALLED to do. Another BENEFIT of failure is THAT it makes you less JUDGEMENTAL of others. When you HAVE experienced FAILURE you BECOME more SYMPATHETIC. lnstead of POINTING an ACCUSING finger, you SEE the NEED to EXTEND a helping HAND. Instead of SAYING foolish THINGS like, 'l can't BELIEVE you DID that.' You REMEMBER the pit GOD dug YOU out of AND with GRATITUDE and HUMILITY, share your EXPERIENCES. You know how it HURTS to fail, and you FEEL their pain BECAUSE of what you HAVE been THROUGH. This MAKES you a BETTER friend, a BETTER mentor and a BETTER example of GRACE. Jesus told Peter: '...satan has asked for you, that he may sift you as wheat. But l have prayed for you, that your faith should not fail; and when you have returned to Me, strengthen your brethren' (Luke 22:31-32 NKJV). God's servant Rev Alfred Acheampong. Anchor Scripture: 'A RIGHTEOUS MAN MAY FALL SEVEN TIMES AND RISE AGAIN...'

In 1952 Roger Bannister (1929-2018) an English middle-distance athlete and neurologist ran in the Olympics and FINISHED in FOURTH place, FAILING to WIN any kind of MEDAL. But he REFUSED to quit. Up UNTIL this TIME many EXPERTS considered it HUMANLY impossible to RUN the MILE in under four minutes. Yet that WAS Bannister's GOAL. And on May 6, 1954, he BECAME the FIRST man to DO it. Now RUNNERS do it REGULARLY. What's the POINT? If you REFUSE to quit WHEN you FAIL, you will ULTIMATELY succeed. You JUST have to be WILLING to get BACK up and KEEP moving FORWARD. ln 1832 Abraham Lincoln was DEFEATED for the State Legislature.ln 1833 he FAILED in business. ln 1835 his SWEETHEART died. ln 1836 he had a NERVOUS breakdown. ln 1838 he was DEFEATED for Illinois House Speaker. ln 1843 he was DEFEATED for NOMINATION to Congress. ln 1854 he was DEFEATED for the U.S. Senate. ln 1856 he was DEFEATED for NOMINATION for Vice President. ln 1858 he was DEFEATED again in a U.S. SENATE race. But TODAY he is CONSIDERED one of America's GREATEST presidents. He became the 16th president of America from 1861 until his assassination in 1865. A wise man concluded: 'lt's a MISTAKE to SUPPOSE that PEOPLE succeed ONLY through SUCCESS; they often SUCCEED through FAILURES.' And you are not DEFEATED until the PAST takes your FOCUS off the FUTURE. So don't be AFRAID of FAILURE. God's servant Rev Alfred Acheampong.

UNTIL you OVERCOME the fear of FAILURE, you will be IMMOBILISED at the PROSPECT of taking a RISK. The IMPORTANT thing to REMEMBER when you FAIL is NOT to quit. History SHOWS that FAILURE can ACTUALLY become a BRIDGE to SUCCESS. In school, Napoleon Bonaparte (1769-1821) was forty-second in a class of forty-three, yet he WENT on to BUILD an ARMY that CONQUERED much of the WORLD. George Washington (1732-1799) the founding father and the first president of the United States of America lost two-thirds of his MILITARY BATTLES, yet against OVERWHELMING odds he won the REVOLUTIONARY War and CHANGED American history. Albert Einstein (1879-1955) a German born theoretical physicist WAS such a SLOW LEARNER that it was SUGGESTED he switch STUDIES from physics to some other topic, yet he's CONSIDERED the father of the atomic age. When you RECALL these NAMES you don't REMEMBER their FAILURES but their CONTRIBUTIONS to the WORLD. Only when you CONSIDER your FAILURE to be FINAL, are you FINALLY a failure. FAILURE is not an event, only an OPINION, and as long as it's NOT your OPINION you can come BACK and succeed. 'A righteous man may fall seven times and rise again.' In his first inaugural address Franklin Roosevelt (1882-1945) the 32nd president of the United States of America told the nation, 'The only THING we have to FEAR is fear itself.' FAILURE is not FATAL; you can BEGIN again. But the FEAR of FAILURE could PROVE fatal to YOUR goals by KEEPING you from TRYING again. After cataloguing every possible scenario that could come against us, such as tribulation, distress, persecution, famine, nakedness, peril, sword, Paul writes: 'Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us' (Romans 8:37 NKJV). So the word for you today is- don't be AFRAID OF FAILURE. God's servant Rev Alfred Acheampong. Prayer Point: Heavenly Father give me the strength to always overcome my seemly failures in life's assignment and to try again knowing failure is not the last verdict on my life in Jesus name.

The title of William Shakespeare's romantic comedy, MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING, was drawn from the biblical STORY of Jesus RAISING the DAUGHTER of Jairus from the DEAD. When Jairus WENT to Jesus for HELP, his DAUGHTER was CRITICALLY ill. While Jesus and he were WALKING TOWARD his HOME the little girl DIED. At that POINT Jesus told the DEVASTATED father, '..."Do not be afraid; only believe"' (Mark 5:36 NKJV). When they ARRIVED at the house EVERYBODY was WEEPING. At this point Jesus asked, '..."Why make ye this ado?"'(Mark 5:39).The word 'ado' means 'commotion, clamour and uproar.' Then Jesus took the child by the hand and told her to get up. And to everyone's AMAZEMENT, she did. Now if Jesus CAN RAISE the dead, SURELY you don't HAVE a problem He can't SOLVE! The miracle WAS set in MOTION the MOMENT Jairus went to Jesus. And by DOING the SAME thing, you are POSITIONING yourself to GET the RESULTS you NEED. Are you GOING to MAKE a great 'ado,' or are you GOING to PRAY in faith, BELIEVING God to come THROUGH for YOU? How much ENERGY and EMOTION are you WASTING over THINGS that will NEVER materialise? Or THINGS you CAN'T control? How many more NIGHTS are you GOING to lie AWAKE, staring at the CEILING, THINKING about all the THINGS that COULD possibly HAPPEN? Can you IMAGINE how that MAKES God FEEL. Claim this promise: 'l will lie down and sleep in peace, for you alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety' (Psalm 4:8 NIV). God's servant Rev.

RESEARCHERS have FOUND that about FORTY PERCENT of the THINGS we WORRY about NEVER happen. THIRTY PERCENT are in the PAST and can't be HELPED. Twelve percent INVOLVE the AFFAIRS of others THAT are NOT even our BUSINESS. Ten PERCENT relate to SICKNESS, real or IMAGINED. That means only eight PERCENT of the THINGS we worry ABOUT are EVEN likely to HAPPEN! Scientists at YALE UNIVERSITY have ACTUALLY identified a 'WORRY GENE.' But they say THAT while YOU may HAVE inherited it, you can OVERCOME it. SOMEBODY has said THAT 'WORRY IS JUST INTEREST paid on TROUBLE before it COMES due.' And in most CASES it never COMES due. Think; WHEN you WORRY, there's a NINETY-TWO percent CHANCE you are PAYING INTEREST on a debt that's not even yours! How foolish is that? TAKE THE FEAR of flying, for example. You WOULD have to FLY EVERY day for NINETEEN THOUSAND YEARS before reaching the PROBABILITY of BEING in a PLANE CRASH. YET it is ONE of the SIX most FEARED CAUSES of death. SOMEONE has said that THERE are THREE HUNDRED and sixty-five 'FEAR not's in the BIBLE one for EVERY DAY of the YEAR. When you WORRY, you DOUBT God and GIVE the devil an ENTRY POINT into your LIFE. How LONG have you BEEN doing this? When are you going to STOP it? Knowing that Abraham was LEAVING his COMFORT ZONE and his SECURITY BASE, God said, '..."Do not be afraid, Abram, l am your shield, your very great reward"(Genesis 15:1 NIV). And today God's SAYING the SAME to YOU. God's servant Rev Alfred Acheampong. Prayer Point: Heavenly Father, Thank You that You have not given me the Spirit of fear but of power and of love and of a sound mind therefore l shall never live in fear of circumstances nor be anxious in life in Jesus name.

God asked Abraham to do a very difficult thing: '..."Leave your country...and your father's household and go to the land l will show you. I will make you into a great nation and l will bless you; l will make your name great, and you will be a blessing...So Abram left, as the Lord had told him" '(Genesis 12:1-4 NIV). If you are afraid of changing jobs, houses or locations, stand on this Scripture because as a redeemed child of God you are entitled to the blessing of Abraham. All our fears basically come down to these two questions: First: 'Lord, will you protect me?' Second: 'Lord, will you provide for me?' With Abraham, God addresses both: '...."Do not be afraid...l am your shield, your very great reward" '(Genesis 15:1NIV). The words, 'very great reward,' literally mean, 'l am your unfailing, inexhaustible, ever increasing source of supply.' Awesome! You don't have to go to anybody else for protection or provision; God's got you covered! And notice what happened next. God entered into a covenant with Abraham (Genesis 15:17); He said to him: 'l will take care of you and your descendants as long as you live.' But there was a problem. 'Then birds of prey came down on the [sacrifice], but Abram drove them away' (Genesis 15:11 NIV). There is a lesson here. Even though God has promised to take care of you, you must drive away the worries satan sends to prey on your mind. How do you do that? By standing squarely on the promises God has made to you in His Word. God's servant Rev Alfred Acheampong. Prayer Point: Heavenly Father, l drive away the spirit of fear and doubt from my life and enter into the realm of believing faith, knowing that you will always provide for me and protect me from the raging storms of life in Jesus name.

THERE ARE TWO WAYS IN WHICH WE ARE LIKE SHEEP: 1) Without a shepherd to GUIDE us, we get into STUFF that HURTS us. God has no 'super-sheep.' The Bible says: 'All of us, like sheep, have strayed...We have left God's paths to follow our own...' (Isaiah 53:6 NLT). Like SHEEP, SOMETIMES we are CLUELESS and HEADSTRONG, choosing things that TURN out badly UNLESS God intervenes. 2) Sheep aren't smart ENOUGH to hide THEIR shortcomings. lndeed, their WILLINGNESS to be what THEY are is ONE of their STRENGTHS. F.B. Meyer (1847-1929) a Baptist pastor and evangelist in England said, 'l USED to think God's GIFTS were on SHELVES, one above the other, and the TALLER we grew the MORE easily we COULD reach THEM. l now find THEY are on SHELVES one BENEATH the OTHER, and it's NOT a QUESTION of GROWING taller but STOOPING lower.' Solomon said, '....with humility comes wisdom' (Proverbs 11:2 NLT). Since God ALREADY knows EVERYTHING about YOU, why bother PRETENDING? Plus, the things you REFUSE to ACKNOWLEDGE and DEAL with just STUNT your GROWTH and LIMIT your USEFULNESS to God. That's TOO high a PRICE to pay! God VALUES truth and EXPECTS you to be TRUTHFUL with Him, OTHER people and YOURSELF. Paul writes: '...express truth [in all things, speaking truly, dealing truly, living truly]...' (Ephesians 4:15 AMP). And James adds: 'Confess your [faults] one to another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed...' (James 5:16 NKJV). We all have our PLUSES and MINUSES. But when you GIVE God all THAT you ARE (and aren't!), He will BLESS and USE you in SPITE of YOURSELF. God's servant Rev Alfred Acheampong.

President Ronald Reagan (1911-2004). The 40th President of the United States of America said, 'SURROUND yourself WITH the BEST PEOPLE you can FIND, delegate AUTHORITY, and DON'T interfere.' Yet in our EAGERNESS to PLEASE God we take on RESPONSIBILITIES that are 'too heavy...to handle...by [ourselves].' Moses was SPENDING every waking minute LISTENING to COMPLAINTS from long LINES of people. Finally his father-in-law said, 'You are going to wear yourself out- and the people, too,' and advised him to appoint capable leaders to 'help...carry the load' (v.22). lt was a win-win solution; the PEOPLE got help FASTER, and Moses BECAME a better LEADER. One Bible teacher writes: 'One of our GREATEST challenges...is DETERMINING what God DOESN'T want US to do! We LOVE God, we LOVE His people, and we SEE many NEEDS. But sometimes good INTENTIONS cause more HARM than GOOD...When you BECOME AWARE of a NEED, don't AUTOMATICALLY assume God WANTS you to MEET it. The only REASON to perform MINISTRY is when God CLEARLY tells YOU it's His will. If you are OVERWHELMED...you are PROBABLY doing MORE than God asked. Pray ABOUT the ASSIGNMENTS you TAKE on, so you DON'T rob YOURSELF and OTHERS of God's best.' Jon Walker, an American musician adds: 'lmagine if God created you to be the Michelangelo(1475-1564) an Italian sculptor, painter, architect and poet) of this AGE but you STAYED so busy DOING all kinds of things-good things- that you NEVER got AROUND to painting and sculpting. You did END up MISSING the best BECAUSE you got DISTRACTED chasing the GOOD.

To SUCCEED in LIFE you must do THESE THREE THINGS: 1) DECIDE WHAT'S IMPORTANT. The story's told of a family who moved to the countryside to get away from the city in one of the States in America. They decided to raise cattle so they bought a ranch. One day a friend visited them and asked what they did named it. Dad said, 'l wanted to call it The Flying-W, but Mom wanted to call it The Suzy-Q. One of our sons liked The Bar-J, but our daughter preferred The Lazy-Y. So we compromised and called it The Flying-W, Suzy-Q, Bar-J, Lazy-Y Ranch. 'The FRIEND asked, 'How are your CATTLE doing?' Dad replied, 'We DON'T have ANY. They didn't SURVIVE the BRANDING.' Come on, decide what's important to you! 2) PRIORITISE YOUR TIME. Too many of us are like the STORE OWNER who GOT so busy TRYING to keep the PLACE clean that he FORGOT to open the FRONT DOOR. The reason you are in BUSINESS is to SERVE CUSTOMERS and make a PROFIT, not get DISTRACTED by secondary THINGS. Base your LIFE'S DECISIONS on your PRIORITIES. And if you need HELP figuring out WHAT they are, ask God: 'For the Lord GIVES wisdom; from His mouth come knowledge and understanding.' 3) LEARN TO MOTIVATE yourself. Most TIMES, NOBODY else WILL. When TRAGEDY struck his LIFE, we read: 'David encouraged himself in the Lord...' (1Samuel 30:6).You NEED to learn HOW to do that too. Jude writes: '....building up yourselves...praying in the Holy Ghost' (Jude v 20). To succeed in LIFE you must LEARN to ENCOURAGE yourself, PRAY and BUILD YOURSELF UP.

When YOU have a DREAM, there are CERTAIN things you MUST be WILLING to GIVE up. You CAN'T keep all YOUR options OPEN; you have to NARROW your FOCUS to what's most IMPORTANT. John Maxwell says: 'Many PEOPLE do the OPPOSITE. Rather than FOCUS on their DREAM and LET go of LESS IMPORTANT things, they WANT to keep every OPTION open. But when THEY do, they ACTUALLY face more PROBLEMS because DECISION-MAKING becomes overly COMPLICATED...at first it's fun to have so many POSSIBILITIES..But as TIMES goes by, YOU can't MAKE progress BECAUSE you SPEND all your TIME preserving OPTIONS rather than MOVING FORWARD...When you EXPEND your TIME and ENERGY on the few things that make a DIFFERENCE...tasks that aren't EXCITING or IMMEDIATELY rewarding take on added VALUE. Each ACTIVITY becomes an IMPORTANT piece in that BIGGER picture.' When God gives you a VISION He doesn't SHOW you the WHOLE picture up front. He DOES it in stages so you won't get OVERWHELMED. For example, when He shared with MOSES His vision for delivering lsrael, Moses had to WAIT for each part to DOWNLOAD. By FAITH he left Egypt. By FAITH he kept the Passover so the enemy wouldn't touch the firstborn of lsrael. By FAITH the lsraelites walked through the Red Sea and their enemies drowned trying to pursue them. By FAITH he kept the lsraelites moving for forty years through the wilderness until he stood, an old man, OVERLOOKING the Promised Land. What kept Moses GOING even after God told him he did NEVER enter the Promised Land? Simply this: he STAYED focused on DOING the WILL of 'Him who is invisible.' God's servant Rev Alfred Acheampong. Prayer Point: Heavenly Father help me to stay focused on my assignment in life without being distracted by anything of demons or man in Jesus name. Anchor Scripture: '....HE PERSEVERED BECAUSE HE SAW HIM WHO IS INVISIBLE.' (Hebrews 11:27 NIV) Stay Blessed! YearOfSupernaturalProvision
