ON THIS MORNING (OTM)

Hello Wonderful people in the Lord,Still in the Christmas mood?..Hope it has been wonderful with *Christ still at the Center* Also,as our God ushers us into another 365days,the *ON THIS MORNING team here* prays for this- *A Year of Purpose& Fulfilment with full reliance on God's Grace.* *May he order your every step&be your Refuge even in your darkest storm&when you want to give up. IT WILL HAPPEN!...IT IS DONE!...HAVE FAITH(Believe+Action)* Well,for today,it is all about my usual end of year *'Thank-yous'* as i take my usual  *BREAK* to bounce back next year. As i've teased you up on my many platforms,watch out for the *NEXT UP* with *ON THIS MORNING* next year.☺ So for this year,we bounced back somewhere in September after announcing our facebook presence  in June.Thanks for the many who communicated in diverse ways to find out&encourage us. I also 'wonna' say Thank you all for your Love,Support,Encouragement,Criticisms,Feedback,Reminders...

Of course,this is where we ask simple,relevant,teasing yet interesting 'questions' for you to ponder&draw out meaningful answers yourself as inspired by your maker. Merry Christmas to you as you celebrate. However, for the *ON THIS MORNING team here*,we help you reflect on the year&what to expect as you lift your head up to the coming year. The Questions Now: *How was your Year?...How would you describe it??* *Did you have a plan for the year?* *If you didn't have a plan,how did you go through the year...Has it been the norm?...* Continuing... *Is it that anything goes?...Is that the way to go because we always plan& even the best plans fail?* Then This- *How strong or involving was God in all your affairs,plans&Life in general?* *So what were your plans if you had?...Were they achieved?...What were the obstacles, challenges& difficulties?* *Were the difficulties due to your own actions/inactions or they just had to come ?...How was your Respon...

Hello People,we thank God for how far he has brought us. *It is Christmas. Wishing you all a Joyous Christmas&a Fulfilling New Year.* Today,let's do something from my ever dependable aid- *Our Daily Bread* Here we go with this powerful one: _Approaching the first christmas after her husband died, our friend Davidene wrote a remarkable letter in which she pictured what it might have been like in heaven when Jesus was born on earth._ _"It was what God always knew would happen,"she wrote. "The three were one,and he had agreed to allow the fracturing of his precious unity for our sake. Heaven was left empty of God the son."_ _As Jesus taught and healed people on earth,he said, "I have come down from heaven not to do my will but to do the will of him who sent me...For my Father's will is that everyone who looks to the son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and i will raise them up at the last day."(John 6:38,40)_ _When Jesus was born ...

This is where we ask simple,relevant,teasing yet interesting 'questions' for you to ponder&draw out meaningful answers yourself as inspired by your maker. And of course,we do a Questions Christmas special during the season.The Questions now: *Christmas...What is it to you?* *What comes to mind when Christmas comes?* *What do you do during this time?* *Are you getting bored with Christmas& the usual stuff it brings?* *Why is that?...Is it because of the same old message or the kind of modernised celebrations that ain't so much fun as before?* *Christmas without Parties&Merrymaking...Is that one too a Christmas?* *Which one take center-stage-The MerryMaking or  Christ,his birth&salvation Essence?* *You?...Do you stop in all the fun to reflect on his Birth that have a lasting impact on your Life as a Christian?* *So?....* *What was your Best Christmas Ever OR  Is this year going to be the Best?* *What do you want for Christmas???* For me...All I wa...

We are still on the Christmas Special. _Thanks for the feedback.From that,it looks people are gearing up but would always want to leave it late ee_ *Reflections,Giving,Sharing,Togetherness/Bonding,Reunion&Time for fun &Merrymaking* are some of the elements that Christmas specially brings. Above all, *The Love shown& the Life given us through his son though undeserving* are the key things he wants us to Remember,share&live out. Then,hold on...Do you Remember: _Those same messages about the same birth of Christ from the same Bible in use now.It made you reflect on the true meaning of this festive season aside all the real fun._ _The Reflections,its meaning&being at the year end made many decide to change...Sometimes it starts through revealing of family secrets at their gatherings or resurrecting of old wounds...In the end, is there a real change or..._ _That long awaited visit to see those Auntes,uncles,cousins&other family friends for that reason you had t...

It is here again& today i turn the heat on *_those fake God Looks at the heart people._*(Of course,they're not going to be spared)_ It must be said they can be very annoying esp. when they're truly faking it sparking this whole debate. _(Well,the difficult part is we shouldn't judge them since we ain't saints.)_ Last week, we looked at these ones: *So,why do you JUST look at her&outrightly Judge/condemn her?* Today,it is on those who are pulling this fake card using the biblical mantra- _'God Looks at the Heart'_ *Do you understand what it means to say God looks at the heart?...What is in your heart?...Is it pleasing to God?...Then,...honestly,...Your Life?* Beloved,many hide behind this God looks at the heart thing-intentionally miscontrue it in order to live the  lives they've always wanted& still want to call themselves christians. _(In Twi brief- Wo p3 wade3 ay3 a,wo se Awurade hw3 akoma mu)_ Yes,those who are in this are mostly '...

*My Christmas Special* is here on your All Round Devotional. Christmas is all about *Love,Giving,Sharing,Togetherness/Bonding,Reunion&Time for fun &Merrymaking.* The Question is simple...isn't it?... _What are you(we) having for Christmas?_ But just before you answer that...Do you remember these: _The planting of that Christmas Tree in your home or even that small neighbourhood where it was well decorated with gifts&presents with all those shiny bits. Then, there is sharing&wrapping of gifts. And most importantly, *we were told of what Christmas is all about aside the fun.* It was such an unforgettable time with family&the many others which has been with us till today._ _Those times when we won't have all the fun,partying&do the travels alone but mummy&daddy will *consciously* look out for someone who is in real need&'package' something worthwhile to give them. Something they treasure&go a long way to change their lives._ And i...

We conclude on this aspect of the series. _Be like a little child,Don't be like a little child._(Infants,Babies) The part 1&2 looked at many reasons why _'To be like or Not To be like a little child._ We continue from there: *Be Like a Little Child* In Matt. 11:25-26- _I praise you Father...because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned,and revealed them to *little children.*_ And in Matt.21:16-17- ....Jesus replied saying- _From the lips of children and infants you have ordained praise._ Little ones right from our tradition have been said to *see things*. I guess these verses affirms or to put it right,it was revealed to them from above. I don't doubt it because of once again the state of their heart-How delicate,pure,innocent,receptive they are. They are known to say the TRUTH&nothing else.(Of course before they are *practically* soiled with the sins of this world.) And such a heart is what God seeks for.When Jesus spoke there,it wasn't ...

*Be like a little child,Don't be like a little child(Part 3)* *This God looks at the heart thing 'koraa'(Part 2)* *Questions(Part 9-Christmas Edition)* *AND A CHRISTMAS SPECIAL* _*What are we(you) having for Christmas???*_ All these coming up this week on your All Round Devotional-ON THIS MORNING/MESSAGE FOR THE EVENING. #BlessingToBeABlessing

This evening on quotes enjoy these fun,interesting quotes which still speaks. Here we go: *Big mouths and small brains make the strangest noises-@Orrin_Woodward* *It's Impossible" Said Pride* *It's Risky" Said Experience* *It's Pointless" Said Reason* *It Can be done" Said Faith* *Give it a Try" Whispered the Heart*- *Why can't you sleep?...Is it because of the hardness of your bed,the witches in your family or that girl 'no'-@ProsperSerebour* *Cast of Characters* *I Won't is a Tramp,* *I Can't is a Quitter* *I Don't Know is Lazy* *I Wish I Could is a Wisher* *I Might is Waking up* *I Will Try is on his Feet* *I Can is on his Way* *I Will is at Work* *I Did is Now the Boss- Earl Cassel* *Don't worry if you have built castles in the air.Now put the foundations under them.-Thoreau* *Leave the past where it belongs-@Tweets2Motivate* *Some cause happiness wherever they go; others whenever they go. -Oscar ...

I did *The thing with Close People(Pt.1&2)*- being family,friends,mentors,where we looked at how difficult it is to be straight&sincere with them&also to draw them to Christ. The links to them: *Part 1* http://myinss.blogspot.co.id/2017/11/the-thing-with-close-peoplepart-1.html?m=1 *Part 2* http://myinss.blogspot.co.id/2017/11/the-thing-with-close-peoplepart-2.html?m=1 I didn't plan to continue with Part 3 but with the help of my guide,it prompted me to  the work/professional side with close ones.How difficult?..easy?...how should it be? In Gen.29:14-30,the story is told of Jacob who fled from home to be with his *Uncle*,Laban. He said- _Just because you are my relative,should you *work* for *nothing*,tell me what your wages will be?_ In place of that,Jacob opted for the younger Rachel to marry. *_Why will i not give her to you,a relative instead to another man_* Jacob had to work another 7yrs because according to his *uncle* the older should marry first. *And ...

Hmm, the title alone should tell you of how this on &off subject have suffocated not only me but many for years. _...but the Lord Looks at the Heart._(1 Sam. 16:7) And so there is no way you can deny the above is not in the *Holy Scriptures.* *So,why do you JUST look at her&outrightly Judge/condemn her?...Who are you to?...Is that the way to go?* *For you,Do you understand what it means to say God looks at the heart?...What is in your heart?...Is it pleasing to God?...Then,...honestly,...Your Life?* Beloved,this seemingly thorny subject is not one- sided as many tend to see it. It is a two-sided coin as pointed out above. Indeed,it does get tiring to see this go back and forth &doesn't seem to end. What happens is that some lose  their faith for being condemned& mostly those 'spiritual' either force a change or move out to where they think can belong. First,the way to go: _Would not God find this out? For He knows the secrets of the heart.(Psalm 44:2...

*'Questions'* is where we ask simple,relevant,teasing yet interesting 'questions' for you to ponder&draw out meaningful answers yourself as inspired by your maker. Last week,we did Part 7 where we looked at those (little) negative changes that creep in on us& later define us. We turn the tables with its 8th part focusing on those Positives Changes that are needed,must take&move on with: *What are those necessary changes???* *What are those Changes you decided to or had to take???...* *Is it because of the Christ-Centered opinions you NOW share which conflict with theirs???* *Is it because they are losing you because you now concentrate on what is most needed???* *Is it because of the deep sober reflection of your life hence the decision to draw away from that group???* (They say you have changed...) *Is it because they always want you at a point they can take advantage of or manipulate???* *Why do you want to go back to that?...Why do you think you...

We continue the series- _Be like a little child,Don't be like a little child._(Infants,Babies) We ended Part 1 on 1 Cor. 3 on not *being Like a Little Child* & we continue right from there' *Don't be like a Little Child* In 1 Cor.3:1-2- _'Brothers, i could not address you as spiritual but as worldly-mere infants in christ. I gave you milk not solid food for you were not ready for it. Indeed,you are still not ready._ How would it be if we all remained as infants/babies as we were born? How would it feel if you still remained a little child?...( _It may have its sweetness but i believe it has it also has its own burdens...They, can tell you..Remember wanting to be like daddy just because...😉😁_) Then this- Always doing that one same thing& being tossed around(controlled) with instructions here&there??? God didn't bring us here to remain as babies. For there is a time to be born&a time to die which means in between there is that growth p...

*_Be Like a Little Child, Don't be like a Little Child (Part2)_ *_Questions(Part 8)_ *_This God looks at the heart thing 'koraa'..._ (Some title there) *_The Thing with Close People(The Work/Professional Side)_ *_How it is...No,should be.(Master-Servant Relationship)_ All these coming up this week on your All Round Devotional *(On This Morning &Message For The Evening)* #BraceYourself #Blessings

How we connect wi...

The _'Be like...,Don't be...'_ series is back&today it is on Children...Little Children,Infants,Babes/Babies. Little children(Babies) are delicate,pure& innocent. It is *safe* to say they  have no bad desires or evil motives. ( *.. The little ones these days are wild oo..That is on the funny side😁😂*) God wants us to be like a little child as described above but does he want us to stay as  immature& of little use like a little child.That is the pivot on which today's Be like,Don't be like  hinges on. *_Let's go for the scriptural situations:_* *Be like a Little child for they are the Greatest in the Kingdom of God.* The scriptural verses to this short account of Jesus,disciples&little children are many. _(Matt.18&19, Luke 9&18 and Mark 9&10.)_ And in all the accounts,the key thing is- Who is the Greatest in the kingdom? The answer is what God wants us to do: To be like a little child-pure in heart,humble...

This holiday morning on *#ONTHISMORNING*, we do *#MEDITATE* from the book of John. Here we go: V. 15 “If you love me, keep my commands. V.16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever— V.17 the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you. V.18 I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. V.19 Before long, the world will not see me anymore, but you will see me. Because I live, you also will live. V.20 On that day you will realize that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you. V.21 Whoever has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me. The one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love them and show myself to them. *SO I SAY:* *MEDITATE!* Visit my blogs: https://prosperb2serebour.wordpress.com/ #Lookout for another sequel of  #MeW)Jesus tomorrow. ...

_And the award for the order of the star of Ghana goes to..(You)_ *_How would that make you feel?_* Now that is the *Biggest Award* in Ghana. It is the highest national honour which means the recipients' contributions should be highly immeasurable in terms of its massive impact on the people. It is a human institution&so will definitely have its flaws if you are thinking whether people who get it are  well-deserving or are skewed. Awards are meant to recognise& motivate&so are not bad per say.A few of the many scriptural references to back it.(2 Tim.4:7-, James 1:12,Prov. 3:7, Phil. 2:16) *I believe it is the craze for it& what you allow it to make you do that makes it bad/sinful.* However, it can easily serve as a bait for sin to fester. _This is true because there is a really deep feeling that comes with it._ _I 'kinda' know this because recently one of my writings(short story) was nominated at the Ghana Writers Awards 2017.Though i didn't win,i k...

Well,let's just say it all started at that level when we were taught- *Positive-Comparative-Superlative.*And so this- _Good-Better-Best.Until your good is Better &your Better is Best..._ In Luke 10:41-42 _Jesus Answered:- Martha,Martha, you are worried&upset about many things,but only one thing is needed. *Mary has chosen what is better*& it will not be taken away from her._ Jesus did not mean that what Martha was doing wasn't *Good* but there was something *Better.* _There are a lot of Good things that take us away from what is Better& many 'Betters' from the Best._ _Your job is good&paying quite well even as you seem so indispensable but stop continually postponing that chance to upgrade yourself...for what is better awaits you.A time is coming when..._ You can bring up Mediocrity.I choose to use the word 'Settling'.This is different from contentment which is valuing&being grateful for what *you can have now*...not preventing you ...

*A week to look forward to on my devotions this week.* This Evening on *_Message For The Evening_*, I bring you a message titled *'Good-Better-Best'*😁 Then Tomorrow morning,on *_On This Morning_,* who doesn't want this: *'The Biggest Award'*-That will be the title. More Intriguing ones *to come* this week. Blessings 'nkoaa' on your All Round Devotional...#BraceYourself

Our Daily Bread continues to be a blessing to many& to my *On This Morning* devotional. I bring you Nov.23 edition of Our Daily Bread titled The *Sounds of Silence.* Here we go: _The Feeling buddy of mine observed,"Shallow streams make the most noise," a delightful turn on the old adage,"Still waters run deep."_ _He meant,of course,that people who make the most noise tend to have littleof substance to say._ _The flip side of that problem is that we don't listen well either. I'm reminded of the line in the old Simon and Garfunkel song Sounds of Silence about folks hearing without listening._ _Oh,they hear the words,but they fail to silence their own thoughts and truly listen. It would be a good if we all learned to be silent and still._ _There is 'a time to be silent and a time to speak.'(Eccl.3:Good Silence is a listening silence, a humble silence. It leads to right hearing,right understanding and right speaking._ _"The purposes of a...

When i decided to do quotes about Carefulness today, I remembered that  somewhere 2016, i should have treated this topic. Carefulness(Being too careful or say being Meticulous)is a grey area that is mostly not talked about *clearly* even within  the christian context. It is the safest advice to give by all including Christians... *_but should a christian be careful with the whole Grace&being spirit-led messages &*_(clearing my throat)_ *Is it a  SIN for a christian to be careful or too careful?* I don't know when but would definitely come back to it. For now, i'm sure *these quotes should suffice:* *The chief danger in life is that you may take too many precautions.– Alfred Adler – Publilius Syrus* *If a writer is so cautious that he never writes anything that cannot be criticized, he will never be able to write anything that can be read. If you want to help other people you have got to make up your mind to write things that some men will condemn...

Yes,the title changed to just *Be Like Peter.* I searched&searched but could find nothing against Peter after Jesus ascended&the Holy Spirit came upon him all in Acts( _ooh Antwi Peter,Ma f3re o,Peter y3 👌🏻_) Let's go into them: *Be like Peter after Jesus ascended because he showed great Leadership* With no Child's play&extremism, even before the Holy Spirit came, we saw Peter in Acts 1:12-,leading the disciples&group of people about the direction of the Apostles&Judas'replacement. Mind you, this was after engaging in  constant prayer. He was straight to the point,focused& purposeful. Other marks of leadership shown was in Acts 2:14 where again he addressed a crowd about God, salvation& the Holy Spirit. I must say this runs throughout his ministry. *Beloved as a leader,Be like Peter here.* *Be like Peter for your life can be full of healing&miracles* Oh yes,it's possible. I'm writing this speaking to myself. I'm ...

This is the *Be like....,Don't be like... series*.We are still on Peter. _'Ne ho w) ns3m paa, saa Bra no' _(There are a lot of stuff about Peter)_ As said, Peter is  funny,interesting&a unique character with a lot to learn from. Check out the link toPart 1 & let's continue- http://myinss.blogspot.co.id/2017/11/like-peterdon-be-like-peter-1.html?m=1 Let's go into them: *Be like Peter in terms of his Closeness to Jesus* Now,don't be deceived,with all his _'too known&in your face'_ personality,Peter didn't impose himself on Jesus. Jesus chose him out of his will like the others (Mark 3:13) In Mark 9&Matthew 17,Peter was part of the 3-inner circle (James&John) who were transfigured with Jesus.His closeness is also seen as he mostly led the disciples,was often used by Jesus receiving a lot of mentions among the disciples. We are all christians but some are closer to Jesus than others. Jesus is open to all. It all depends on how s...

This is the *Be like....,Don't be like... series*. We kick off with the character Peter. I find 'Bra' Peter😁 in the bible to be very funny, interesting&a unique character. _He was Spiritual yet over-spiritual too,daring yet full of fear..._ There are a lot more to learn from him.These are key selected accounts as taken from the 4 gospels of the life of 'Mr. Peter'- The Disciple. Let's go into them: *First,the Calling.Be like Peter in responding to Jesus call over your life Now.* Heyy,see you?... scared again because you're only looking at full-time ministry.So what if?...😁😆 As Jesus called out his first disciples in Matt.4&Luke 5, (Simon)Peter& Andrew his brother *responded immediately leaving everything.* *How well do we respond to God's call?*...Many at times, it's because we haven't availed ourselves enough& also to be convicted. Jesus told the Samaritan woman _if you knew the gift of God&who it is that asks you f...

On the *Be Like..., Don't Be Like...* series, I bring you *Be like Peter, Don't Be Like Peter* on Message For The Evening this evening. #DontMiss

*TO COME:* ' *_Don't be like ..., Be like..._*' is the new series to run on Message For the Evening tomorrow. More tomorrow.

*Job 9:27*- _If I say, I will forget my complaint, I will put off my 'sad countenance, and *be of good cheer*;_ *Daniel 10:19*- _...and said, O man greatly beloved, fear not: peace be unto thee, *be of good cheer*, and be well. And as he spoke unto me, I was strengthened and said, Let my Lord speak;for thou hast strengthened me._ *John 16:33*- _...In this world,you will troubles, but *be of good cheer*,i have a overcome the world..._ And so there is great value in *being of good cheer.* I believe it starts with having a cheerful heart. Developing or having a cheerful heart is extremely difficult in this world we live in. _*How can I?...*_ I'm sure you're recounting or thinking of what you're going through. We can have & in fact, there are many reasons not to be of good cheer but in all these, I don't know what we gain or have gained from being sad or worrying through our problems. *Being of good cheer* doesn't in anyway mean *You Don't Have Problem...

This  morning on meditate,i invite us all to meditate on  Jesus introductory sermon on the mount.(Beautitudes) We know&have read it on many occasions.However,let's approach it differently this morning. Here we go: 1 *Now when Jesus saw the crowds, he went up on a mountainside and sat down.His disciples came to him,* 2 *and he began to teach them.He said:* 3  *“Blessed are the poor in spirit,for theirs is the kingdom of heaven* 4 *Blessed are those who mourn,for they will be comforted.* 5 *Blessed are the meek,for they will inherit the earth.* 6 *Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,for they will be filled.* 7 *Blessed are the merciful,for they will be shown mercy.* 8 *Blessed are the pure in heart,for they will see God.* 9 *Blessed are the peacemakers,for they will be called children of God.* 10 *Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness,for theirs is the kingdom of heaven* 11 *Blessed are you when people ins...

We get back to some Quotes this evening. It is a bundle of quotes feom various sources to lift you up,get you going to achieve that goal. Let's go for them: *Don't be timid when making your requests to God, there is nothing, you will ever ask that will intimidate him.*-@MensaOtabil *You were born to win, but to be a winner,you must plan to win,prepare to win and expect to win* -Zig Ziglar *You were given this life because you were strong enough to live it.*-Inspower *And suddenly you just know... It is time to start something new&trust the magic of new beginnings*-Meister Eckhart *You can have results or excuses not both* - Arnold Schwarzenegger *All leadership is about Influence. Nothing more,Nothing less.*-John Maxwell *It is not about having time but it is about making time.*-  Joni *It may hurt to let go but sometimes it  even hurts more to hang more.*-Unknown *Grace is not an excuse to live a sloppy life and get by with it; it is the power not to have to li...

I bring you part 2 of the above title.As said from yesterday, we look at *how to witness or draw close/familiar people to Christ.* And so families,friends&shyful people(mentors) we all have& are use to. Anyone *you look up to* should at least live an exemplary life Otherwise they don't fit that status-It's just sheer admiration. In the same way, someone you look up to in the faith should be one who should be able to build you up in Christ&not vice versa.(at least for the start) However,as the person builds you up,with time both learn&build each other up as it has been seen. *The key point here is to know&choose the right person who is full of Christ to follow.*(This will depend on your foundation) That leads me to Family&friends. *Friendship?*...So aside all the sweet 'foolishness' you guys do, for you, make sure you make the distinction clear &not compromise when it comes to matters of Christ. No matter how difficult,the person will ...

* We all have families that know us right from the get go. * We all have people in our lives that we *'sooo'* respect & are very shy of. (Mostly,this relates to older people) * We all have familiar people that we are used to. * We *all*(_maybe not all) but we have close friends that we share minutest detail of our lives with. *One of the difficult things in life is to be straight with such people,point out their wrongs,be sincere with them &above all witness or draw them to Christ.*(Part 2 tomorrow will look at the witnessing part.) I can see how often you've disagreed in silence with that mentor or respected elder yet you keep on nodding to whatever he says. Families,friends-would they even listen?...we know your greatest frailties&falls so where from this holier than thou...? This is where i believe the whole narrative should change. The key solution STARTS right from the relationship we have. For our families & the people we look up to or respect...

Today's message is from the age-old song- *This is the Air i breathe* -This is a powerful rendition by Joe Mettle. In fact,the message itself is all in the song. I took time to  pen down *almost* every bit of  its adlyps including the lyrics  because of its great impact.

Let's do meditate this morning. 23 Some went out on the sea in ships; they were merchants on the mighty waters. 24- They saw the works of the Lord, his wonderful deeds in the deep. 25 For he spoke and stirred up a tempest that lifted high the waves. 26 They mounted up to the heavens and went down to the depths; in their peril their courage melted away. 27 They reeled and staggered like drunkards;they were at their wits’ end. 28 Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble,and he brought them out of their distress. 29 He stilled the storm to a whisper; the waves of the sea were hushed. 30 They were glad when it grew calm, and he guided them to their desired haven. 31 Let them give thanks to the Lord for his unfailing love and his wonderful deeds for mankind. 32 Let them exalt him in the assembly of the people and praise him in the council of the elders. *SO I SAY:* *MEDITATE!*
