Samuel Pipim : Missed Opportunities

One of the saddest confessions to escape human lips is “I wish I had…!” Those words express missed opportunities and regrets. Easy to be ignored, and requiring little effort to waste, opportunities are lost because of fear, pride, delay, misplaced priorities, and busyness. Missed opportunities can be costly, hence a Bulgarian proverb urges: “Seize opportunity by the beard, for it is bald behind.” Now is the time: Make that phone call or send that mail; express the apology, appreciation or love; take that decision about your studies, work, health, and relationship—with God and man. If the Spirit is prompting you on an issue or duty today, don’t miss the opportunity. Today is NOW! (cf. Hebrews 3:7-15; 4:7.)—Samuel Koranteng-Pipim

Samuel Pipim - Where Are the Women?

Clad in designer fig leaves to hide their failures, shame, and fears, and chewing on a mouthful of excuses, women are in the exact same spot God found men when He called out, “Adam, where are you?” (Genesis 3:6-13). The issue of excellence—whether spiritual or professional—is not about gender, but mindset. Sadly, many women have the mindset that their self-worth hinges just on their looks; their primary purpose in life is to have boyfriends, husbands, or children; and their greatest success is to leverage their sex or gender. But excellence cannot be genderized, for success is not sexually-transmitted. Excellence begins when we—male & female—acknowledge our failures and seek Divine help to live victoriously.

Samuel Laurel Pipim - AFRICAN CHRISTIANS

If the minds of professing Christians didn’t need to be set free, how do you explain 

the fact that in many Christian churches today . . .

–feelings & esoteric revelation have replaced commonsense thinking?

– faith established on Biblical facts has been replaced by sensationalism & fancy?

– the gospel of power has replaced the power of the Gospel?

– prayers are now ultimatums?

– petitions that ought to be directed to Christ have now become obsessive shouts 

and insults directed against Satan?

– the term “prophet” sounds very much like profit

– counterfeit revival is viewed as evidence of the Spirit’s renewal?
