"God seeks to use every child of His to fulfill a part of His eternal purpose concerning creation. But the truth is that He can only use vitally sanctified vessels; which means that if we yearn for God to use us, then we ought to be sanctified for His use".-Abraham Asiedu

Leadership by Example

“In everything, set them an example by doing what is good…” (Titus 2:7) After all is said and done, leadership is about influence, and the best way to influence people is by setting them an example. Here are ten ways we can lead by example: 1. Model the behavior you want to see: Leaders set the tone by demonstrating the behavior, values, and work ethic they expect from others. 2. Lead with integrity: Be honest, transparent, and authentic in all your words and actions. 3. Take ownership and responsibility: Leaders take charge, admit mistakes, and learn from failures. 4.

Zeal Without Knowledge

“For I can testify about them that they are zealous for God, but their zeal is not based on knowledge.” (Romans 10:2) Zeal without knowledge is a dangerous thing. It's just like speeding in the wrong direction. The renowned English Presbyterian Minister and Bible Commentator, Matthew Henry, once said, "Zeal without knowledge is like a sword in a madman's hand.” During Paul's time, many Jews were zealous for the law and traditions, but rejected Jesus as the Messiah. Paul argues that their zeal is misguided because it's not grounded in a correct understanding of God's plan. Paul is talking from experience.

IS GOD SILENT OR WE ARE DEAF?

Erwin W. Lutzer in his book, Seven Reasons Why You Can Trust the Bible, narrates the story of Ingmar Bergman, a Swedish film director who one day stood next to a portrait of Christ in a cathedral in Europe and whispered, “Speak to me!” He only encountered dead silence after waiting enough while. It has been said Bergman was motivated by this experience to come out with a movie entitled Silence, which portrayed people who despaired in their attempt to seek God. Bergman’s frustration was evident in his words: “In our world, we hear only ourselves. No voice comes to us from outside the universe. When we seek a word from God, we are confronted with dead calm”. Well, a portrait of Christ cannot speak. It is only Christ himself who can speak. Imagine I take a photogragh of the prime minister of Britain and pose a question to it. I will certainly be confronted with dead silence. Does that mean Britain’s prime minister never speaks? If we cannot hear from God, the most logical conclusio...
