Service with Good Conscience |
|
By Elder Enoch Ofori Jnr. At baptism into new life in Christ’s nature of holiness (Rom 6: 3-6; Gal 3:27), we make a commitment to serve God with “good conscience”. In itself, baptism is not so much about the symbolic washing away of sin with water but “the answer of a good conscience toward God” (1 Peter 3:21). And it’s an ideal we are supposed to live throughout our Christian lives both in the sight of God and our fellow man. The apostle Paul wrote to the Corinthian believers: “For our rejoicing is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom, but by the grace of God, we have had our conversation in the world, and more abundantly to you-ward” (2 Cor. 1:12). |

Brethren, I assure you by the mercies of the Living God that none of our services, rendered in the Name of the Lord, is a wasted effort. He has not forgotten a single one of them. Heb 6:10 brings us word of His assurance. "God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward His name ...." And 1 Cor 15:58 Corroborates: "Therefore, my dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labour in the Lord is not in vain" (NIV) |

The Sure Word of Prophecy |
By: Elder Enoch Ofori Jnr Precise dates and interpretative details of Bible prophecy never cease to fascinate prophecy watchers. Like the early disciples, people tend to take greater interest in the exact “times and seasons” God has scheduled for the fulfillment of specific prophecies (Acts 1:6-7). In the process, the core function of prophecy is overlooked. Prophecy since Old Testament times has always contained a warning to live right or face doom, repent or perish! If you ever wanted to know the main point of Bible prophecy, this is it. The prophet Zephaniah calls out: |
