The Fruit of the Spirit is Long-suffering |
|
By Elder Enoch Ofori Jnr The fruit of the Spirit is a set of virtues Spirit-filled believers must exhibit; it's a set of conditions that should characterize the life of every believer. The fruit of the Spirit is a nine-fold virtue made up of love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness and temperance (Gal. 5:22-23). The primacy of love in inter-personal relationships, whether of God and man or of man to man, is without question. But fourth in ranking after love is long-suffering! How many believers who claim to be Spirit-filled exhibit this fruit of the Spirit? |

The Glorious Destiny of the Redeemed |
By Elder Enoch Ofori Jnr.
As a believer, have you ever pondered why you were born? Why you were called and chosen by God and the destiny ahead of you?
Well David, (he man after God's own heart (Acts 13:22), mediated on these profound questions of life and arrived at a sobering conclusion:
"I will praise Thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made:
marvellous are Thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well" (Ps. 139:14).
The above Psalm celebrates the wondrous complexity of the human mechanism, a masterstroke of the Divine. |

By Elder Enoch Ofori Jnr. Golden Texts: "I, even I, am He that blotteth out thy transgressions for MINE OWN SAKE, and will not remember thy sins" (Isa 43:25). “I write unto you, little children, because your sins arc forgiven you for HIS NAME'S SAKE" (1 John 2:12 Emphasis mine) God's Name plays a key role in our salvation and in our relationship of faith with Him. His Holy Name, in and of itself, brings succor and hope to His people. That is why the gospel is a pure love story. God has intervened in our lives for His own sake not because of any inherent merit we possess. He loves us because He has no other option but to love us! When man fell from the grace of God through sin, our first parents Adam and Eve did not have the presence of mind to apologize to God and ask for His forgiveness (see Job 31:33). |

A New Beginning with the Alpha And Omega |
|
New Year (2009) Message By Elder Enoch Ofori Jnr It is never too early or too late for God to work miracles for us and turn our lives around. He's the Alpha & Omega, the Beginning and the Ending (Rev. 1:8). As we enter a new year, many of us will be casting our minds back wondering if there was anything substantial that we achieved, individually and collectively, during the past year. There are certainly many blessings to count, but there have also been many moments of regret. Man's life is typically full of ups and downs, and time is one of the indicators by which we measure our successes and failures. |
