Thank God, Because He Is So Merciful
A Sermon Delivered on Wednesday evening, January 26th, 2022, byEvangelist PAUL ACQUAH, Live on MZ Radio London, UK Mercy! Few people truly understand it, yet it is key to receiving God’s best in your life. One of the ways that God’s goodness is revealed is by His mercy. God is merciful, good, and just! And the mercy of God towards each of us is something that we can always be thankful for. If you’re feeling like you’re beyond God’s mercy, know that He stands ready and willing to forgive and embrace you, no matter what, because He loves you. The Bible describes how the mercy seat was at the very centre of the Holy of Holies, and it is still at the centre of God’s heart today. The purpose of this message is to show you how, as a recipient of God’s love and mercy, to always recall and be thankful for God’s endless mercy towards you. Notice the good things in your life. Look back and think about what God has done. God gives us mercy. We need to appreciate that. David said in Psalm 103:1-13: “Bless the LORD, O my soul; And all that is within me, bless His holy name!2 Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits:3 Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases,4 Who redeems your life from destruction, Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies,5 Who satisfies your mouth with good things, So that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.6 The LORD executes righteousness and justice for all who are oppressed.7 He made known His ways to Moses, His acts to the children of Israel.8 The LORD is merciful and gracious, Slow to anger, and abounding in mercy.9 He will not always strive with us, nor will He keep His anger forever.10 He has not dealt with us according to our sins, nor punished us according to our iniquities.11 For as the heavens are high above the earth, so great is His mercy toward those who fear Him;12 As far as the east is from the west, So far has He removed our transgressions from us.13 As a father pities his children, So the LORD pities those who fear Him.14 For He knows our frame; He remembers that we are dust.” God’s nature is to offer mercy. We are not perfect. We have our imperfections, and the truth is, God sees all our imperfections and still loves us, and calls us righteous if we have received Jesus Christ as our Lord and saviour. God has got good things for us even with our imperfections. If you look at things in the light of eternity, you will continue to show gratitude to God. You will continue to be thankful and show your appreciation. Since we know that God has secured our eternal good, we can be thankful for everything at any time to reflect on God’s goodness. Of course, for Christians, every day should be a day of thanks because of the profound blessings we have in Jesus Christ and because of His mercies that He has poured on us. Start to notice and identify the things you are grateful for. I will start with an Old Testament account about what God said about David and apply it to the New Testament believer, so you can notice the good things you might sometimes take for granted. It’s amazing what you notice when you focus on expressing your gratitude to God and being grateful for His goodness, His mercy, and His kindness. You need to know that no matter what happens in this life, we are all going to stand before God, and He is going to separate the sheep from the goat. He is going to judge every single thing, and for those of us who know the Lord Jesus Christ, we don’t have to fear the Lord in the sense of dread. Because all our sins were placed on Jesus, and He is going to look at us and say well done you good and faithful servant even though we haven’t done everything perfect. This is something we should show our gratitude or appreciation for. Our God is so merciful. I was reading a text of scripture about David, and it marvelled me. “And if you walk in obedience to me and keep my decrees and commands as David your father did, I will give you a long life” (1 Kings 3:14 NIV). The Lord was talking to Solomon, and He said, I will bless you if you continue to follow me as your father David did. And I just thought — like his father David did? His father David committed adultery and murdered the husband to cover up his sins. But the difference is, he repented. And God looked at him and said I want you to serve me as your father David did. God’s mercy endures forever. When you are forgiven, God sees you not through your own personal actions. He sees you through Jesus, and you become accepted with God through what Jesus did and not through what you do. So, for those of us who are born again, praise God, there is not going to be any retribution. But for those who don’t have a personal relationship with the Lord, He is going to set open every single thing that has been done wrong. Every single one of them will be brought in the open. The entire human race will be standing there watching God judge people for their actions. “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!” (2 Cor. 5:17 NIV) When I read this verse, I can’t help but think about what this verse meant to the New Testament believer and especially to Apostle Paul who wrote these words by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. Prior to his encounter with our Lord Jesus Christ on the
Living A Life Of Gratitude
A Sermon Delivered on Wednesday evening, January 19th, 2022, by Evangelist PAUL ACQUAH, Live on MZ Radio London, UK What can both brighten your day and bring your relationship with God to greater heights?Discover the life-preserving power of gratitude. There is power in being thankful to God. The more we give thanks with sincerity, the more we realize just how much God has already done which gives us hope that He will do even more. Cultivate a spirit of thanksgiving and graciousness and keep it flowing every day in your life. If you can manage to be thankful in every situation, really believing that God is working everything out for your good, you will end up with victory every single time. The purpose of this message is to share on how you can release God’s power by being thankful for all the great things in your life. Learn how showing thankfulness to God can create an encompassing atmosphere of His goodness that you can live in anytime, everywhere you go. I want to talk about living a life of gratitude. That means being thankful or showing appreciation, or praising God. What’s the reason people are showing no gratitude in the last days? Why are people so unthankful? If we’ll stop and look around, it’s not like there isn’t enough to be thankful for. God has done so much for us but sometimes it’s easy to forget. It’s easy to lose sight that all good things come from God. Here is a verse that goes along with that idea:“Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning” (James 1:17). This is awesome! God never changes. That means He will always give us good things! It’s hard to be thankful for something you don’t remember. It takes effort to remember. That’s why Scripture says in Psalm 103 that “forget not all His benefits.” God gives more benefits than any system or anybody in this world. Let me read to you some few verses of Psalm 103:“Bless the LORD, O my soul; And all that is within me, bless His holy name! 2 Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits: 3 Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases, 4 Who redeems your life from destruction, Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies, 5 Who satisfies your mouth with good things, So that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s” (Ps. 103:1-5). You may read the whole of Psalm 103 for yourself. But with all these benefits, it’s easy to forget the Lord. We can see a clear example of this in the Old Testament:“Thus the children of Israel did not remember the Lord their God, who had delivered them from the hands of all their enemies on every side” (Judges 8:34). “[They] forgot His works and His wonders that He had shown them. Marvellous things He did in the sight of their fathers, In the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan” (Ps. 78:11-12), brackets mine. Holding back our gratitude to God is pride. If we forget what God has done, something else we should watch out for is pride. If we’re focused on self, that will get in the way of acknowledging and thanking God. “What do you have that you did not receive? Now if you did indeed receive it, why do you boast as if you had not received it?” (1 Corinthians 4:7b). It takes a humble heart to show gratitude to God.“Give unto the Lord the glory due to His name” (Ps. 29:2). That means doing it when I feel like it and when I don’t. Living a life of gratitude is not only the most enjoyable way to live, it’s also one of the most powerful ways to change your life. Remember what God has done in your life. Humble yourself and thank Him. It’s a lovely thing! Express your gratitude to God.Expressing gratitude is about showing your heartfelt appreciation to God – being grateful or being thankful. God wants us to practise gratitude every day.“Rejoice always, 17 pray without ceasing, 18 in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you” (1 Thes. 5:16-18). This is a responsibility to which we are all commanded to take. Expressing gratitude will help you start being more grateful and appreciative of the things God has done in your life. Every good and perfect thing comes from God. If it’s good, it’s from God; if it’s bad, it’s not from God. Notice good things, look for them and appreciate them. Delight in them, absorb, and really pay attention to those good things. It’s always important to have an attitude of thankfulness. Express your gratitude to God or thank Him for who He is, what He has done and what He is about to do. Showing gratitude is very important to God. Expressing your gratitude to God makes things happen — it affects you, it affects God, and it destroys the work of the devil. Gratitude affects you, it affects the devil, and it affects God.It touches everything and every part of your life. Likewise, a lack of gratitude affects you in a negative way, it turns the devil loose in your life, and doesn’t bless God. Don’t be like those lepers who are described in the 17th chapter of Luke, having been healed by Jesus, only one returned to give thanks: 11 Now on his way to Jerusalem, Jesus travelled along the border between Samaria and Galilee. 12 As he was going into a village, ten men who had leprosy met him. They stood at a distance 13 and called out in a loud voice, “Jesus, Master, have pity on us!” 14 When he saw them, he said, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.” And as they went, they were cleansed. 15 One of them,
Have Faith In God’s Word And Hold Onto It
A Sermon Delivered on Wednesday evening, January 12th, 2022, byEvangelist PAUL ACQUAH, Live on MZ Radio London, UK Is God’s word important to you? We live in a world today where the Bible is unfortunately depicted as being outdated, fictional, having little value, and to some, completely irrelevant. The sad part is that, we as Christians are adapting to that same line of thinking without even realising it. But the Bible hasn’t lost its power or relevance. God’s Word is every bit as powerful today as it’s always been. The fact is, the word of God has the power and ability to impact every area of our lives, but only if we allow it to. For most believers, we read the word, but God’s word doesn’t have any impact on our lives because we don’t mix the word with faith. The purpose of this message is to emphasise the importance of prioritising God’s word in our lives. Let me refer you to a scripture that reminds us of the importance of God’s word:“Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away” (Matthew 24:35 NIV). No matter what happened last year or even last night, God is faithful to His word. Therefore, have faith in His word and hold onto it. God’s word is not going anywhere. God’s word is still with us today. It was with us last year, it was with us yesterday, and it’s with us today and forever. There can be many things that can go on in the world around us. Many trials that we can face. Many things can go on in our lives, but all of these things, like the cares of this life, will come and go, but God’s word is going to be with us forever. Therefore, hold onto it. That means have faith in His word. A lot of times we try to depend on things of this world and things of this culture, but they are not the most reliable things to stand on. They sometimes fall through as you may say. Do you know something that will never fail you, something that’s always reliable, something that will always come true for you when you need it most? It’s the word of God. That’s why I encourage you today to have faith in God’s word and hold onto it. Has God given you a word? Yes, He has. So, hold unto it. Have faith in His word. Has God told you that He will supply all your needs according to His riches in Christ Jesus? If He did, then stand on that word and don’t consider anything else. Don’t let anybody tell you that you will struggle to afford food. Don’t let anybody tell you that you will struggle to afford your essential needs (Mat. 6:33; Phil. 4:19). Don’t let anybody tell you that you can’t do it (Phil. 4:13). Our faith is in the promises of God. Our faith is in the word of God. Have hope in the word of God and hold onto it. So many people are hopeless today because they are not dominated by the word of God. God gave us His word so that we can have all that we need to live out this life that He has called us to live. That’s why it’s important to get into the word of God every single day. That’s where our strength will come from. That’s what we can rely on to go into anything that we might face, whether throughout the day, the week, or our lifetime. So, I encourage you to know that everything else will pass away, but God’s word remains. It will not pass away. His word is here to lead, guide and direct your life. Hold onto His word. Put your faith in the faithful word of God. “For no matter how many promises God has made, they are ‘Yes’ in Christ. And so through him the ‘Amen’ is spoken by us to the glory of God” (2 Cor. 1:20 NIV). Renew your mind with God’s word. This means put your trust and faith in Jesus and God’s Word above everything else — above your feelings, what you think, what your circumstances look like, and what others say or think. This is so important because everything we receive from God comes to us by faith. “So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God” (Rom. 10:17). One of the ways to walk in faith is to renew your mind through the word of God.“Do not conform to the pattern of this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is — his good, pleasing and perfect will” (Rom. 12:2). God has already given us His word and His promises. All you have to do is to renew your mind and appropriate what has already been provided. This doesn’t mean God has already provided so you’ve got nothing to do. I assure you one of the difficult things to do is to renew your mind. It takes effort to renew your mind, and if you are sitting in front of the television, watching ungodly things, you are not renewing your mind. You have to spend some time in the word. How much time have you spent studying the word of God since you became a born-again Christian? We need to keep learning. One of the hardest things to do is to ‘unplug’ from this world and the ideas and philosophies that this world is giving us, and to start acting and thinking according to the word of the Lord. It’s not going to happen if you are a passive Christian. You have to be an active Christian; you have to be a determined Christian. Most of us spend so much more time in the world system, thinking the wrong things than we do the word of God. You
Have Hope In God
A Sermon Delivered on Wednesday evening, January 5th, 2022, byEvangelist PAUL ACQUAH, Live on MZ Radio London, UK Even as bad news and negative reports become the ‘new normal,’ you can still expect your best days to be ahead of you. It’s easy to be worn down by hopelessness, but regardless of who you are or what condition your life is in, you can’t function successfully without hope in God. Make a quality decision to step out into the new thing God has for you today. Never assume that where you’ve been or where you are is as good as it can get. And when your goal or your situation seems impossible, keep in mind that nothing is impossible for God. Whether you’re anxious about the future or you’re going through a personal storm right now, let this uplifting message breathe fresh hope into your heart. Break free from wrong believing that holds you back from your blessed future in Christ. Having hope is always vital. It has been vital throughout the ages and it’s just as vital today. A new year calls us to reflect on where we’ve been, and to look to where we’re going. Everyone knows 2021 was a painful year. Some people lost loved ones, some lost jobs, some even lost hope. After such a difficult year, full of change and uncertainty, we’re all holding out for a fresh start in the new year even though there is still so much uncertainty. The situation around the globe has changed a lot since the pandemic. This has led to an economic crisis. People are losing their jobs, prices at the markets and shops are rising sharply. Many families struggle to afford food. Across some countries, the healthcare system has virtually collapsed. You need to have hope when situations or circumstances seem hopeless and you need to believe that it will be well because we serve a God of new things. Let me refer you to a text of scripture which reminds us that our God is a God of new things. “Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland” (Isaiah 43:18-19 NIV). These verses from the book of Isaiah promise something brand new and God encourages us to keep our eyes open to see it. We all need newness in our lives. We yearn for it and we must continually seek out the new to replace and refresh the old. No matter what happened last year or even last night, God is faithful to His word. God is in the business of providing “new things.” As He says, “Behold, I will do a new thing, now it shall spring forth; Shall you not know it?” (Isaiah 43:19, NKJV). It’s hard to put things behind us, especially things that have troubled or upset us deeply. If you read this text of scripture in context, the prophet Isaiah was writing to God’s people who had been taken away to another land as slaves. He was telling them to look to the future because it was time for new things and new ways to go; there was a new hope. In a wilderness, there is no path to see, and you can’t be sure which way to go. Do you return to the start or find a new destination? The landscape all looks the same. If you are in a place that feels dark and confusing, like the wilderness, He is the God who makes way in the wilderness. Have hope in God. He is a God of new things. If you are in a place that feels hopeless and barren, He is the God who causes streams to flow in wastelands. A wasteland bears no fruit and doesn’t seem to sustain much life, but when a stream flows, life returns, with an abundance of animals, flowers, and fruit. Have hope in God. He is a God of new things. Don’t let anybody tell you that the future is bleak. “Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland” (Isaiah 43:18-19 NIV). What does a “new thing” look like for you? Did you know that God longs to do a new thing in and through you, not just once but every single day? Today, or this week, or this month, not only presents us with the gift of a new year, it presents us with a gift of a new day, a new week, a new month and God is about to do a new thing, so have hope in Him. Neither you nor I know what this year will hold, but we do know that God is calling us to look ahead of us and forget the former things. Don’t dwell on what you can’t change, simply receive the new thing God is going to do in your life this year. It is through Jesus that we can build our hope and confidence and seek a fresh start. “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new” (2 Cor. 5:17). There are new ways, new opportunities, and new hope. A future that is rooted in Jesus provides a clear pathway in the wilderness and life to the wasteland to enable us to flourish, bear fruit, see new opportunities, and make a difference. “Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me’” (John 14:6). Now He is the one to put our trust in, the one for a sure future. Jesus is our sure foundation as we move into a future assured
The place of obedience in attaining success
A Sermon Delivered on Wednesday evening, November 18th, 2020, byEvangelist PAUL ACQUAH, Live on MZ Radio London, Uk We see through the word of God, several men and women who heard God’s voice and simply obeyed and became a great success. They believed in what God spoke and were convinced based on God’s character and nature that if He promised something, He had the ability and the desire to bring it to pass. They gave themselves to God’s eternal purposes and saw good success in their lives. In a similar manner, you can also believe and obey God so you can fulfil your purpose and participate in God’s eternal purposes. All over scripture, we see examples of God’s people ignoring His direction for the sake of safety and security and it never ended well for them. So, don’t rob yourself of the success that God will give you when you focus on living in obedience rather than living according to the standards of this world. The purpose of this message is to the truth that our faithful commitment to obey and trust God is the guaranteed way to attain success. In the last couple of episodes, we’ve been talking about success attitudes. Today, I want to talk to you for a few moments about success attitudes with emphasis on how obedience affects our lives. First of all, let me remind you that when you disobey, the cost is huge. First, you rob yourself of opportunities to serve Almighty God and become a partaker of all the good things the grace of God has provided for us. You then live a life without purpose. Isa. 1:18 talks about what the grace of God has provided for us: “Come now, and let us reason together,”Says the LORD,“Though your sins are like scarlet,They shall be as white as snow;Though they are red like crimson,They shall be as wool.” This is a powerful text of scripture describing the grace of God. It says that if your sins are blood-red, they’ll be snow-white. Marvellous! If they’re red like crimson, they’ll be like wool. Let God do in your life what you cannot do for yourself. And that can happen only through your obedience and cooperation. Nobody deserves forgiveness. We have a saviour that paid for our sins and that’s the only way our sins are dealt with. Having been forgiven, our sins are changed from crimson to white as snow, not through our own goodness or because we deserved it, but by the grace of God. It’s all about the grace of God. How do your sins get forgiven? Only by what Jesus did. You cannot wash away your sins, only the blood of Jesus washes away sins. The Bible talks about how the leopard cannot get rid of its spots. You have to have God to supernaturally touch you, and that’s the grace of God. The grace of God has provided forgiveness of sins and only those who believe in what Christ has done can be cleansed of their sins. Those of us who obeyed God’s command to receive Christ’s gift of salvation have been delivered from the punishment of sin. “But God be thanked that though you were slaves of sin, yet you obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine to which you were delivered” (Rom. 6:17). I want to encourage you to tap into what grace has already provided. God has already provided everything that we will ever need before we had the need. That’s the wonderful miracle working God. He created Adam and Eve and He didn’t wait until they sinned before He provided the means by which mankind can be forgiven of their sins. The Bible says the Lamb was slain before the foundation of the world. He didn’t wait until they were hungry before He said oh you need some food and then He responded to them. Or you need to breathe and then He gave them air. God anticipated every need of Adam and Eve and the entire human race. That’s the God we serve. That’s the God I want to introduce to you. Understanding that God has already provided everything that we will ever need will change your thinking. Our future is history to God because He knows everything. We are not waiting on God to move; God is waiting on us to reach out and receive. That doesn’t mean we sit down and think God has already done it so there is no responsibility on us. This is not about you taking responsibility to make God do something. But it is the fact that we have to respond to God’s ability and that’s our responsibility. There is a part that we have to play. God has already created the supply before you had the need, and there is something He has put in your hand that will release His power. There is nobody who is incapable of overcoming or succeeding in life. It doesn’t matter how bad your sickness is, or how bad your finances are, or how bad your emotional problems are, it doesn’t matter. Whatever has happened to you, or whatever situation you are in, God has anticipated your problem and He has created the supply before you ever had the need, so just tap into it. There is a way for you to turn that situation around. But it’s usually beyond our ability to do that, praise the Lord, that’s why we have the Holy Spirit to guide us and show us these things. Our part is to trust and obey Him. Receiving Christ as your saviour is only the beginning of a life of success. You have to obey whatever God tells you to do so that you can enjoy God’s goodness. Every good and perfect gift comes from God, but to enjoy those gifts, you need to obey Him. “If you are willing and obedient,You shall eat the good of the land;” (Isa. 1:19) Disobedience will cost you missed
Boasting in the Lord
A Sermon Delivered on Wednesday evening, November 11th, 2020, byEvangelist PAUL ACQUAH, Live on MZ Radio London, UK No one enjoys being around a person who boasts of himself. Bragging about your own ability and wealth is a turn off in anyone’s book. So, the question is, can a Christian boast? Can a Christian be proud of anything? The answer is yes, for all boasting is not sinful. The Bible does encourage us to be boasters. Boast in the Lord. You see, boasting in the Lord is on the one hand quite the opposite of boasting in oneself. Instead of drawing attention to ourselves, we draw our attention to Christ. So, what do we take pride in? Is it our possessions, intellectual gifts, relational abilities, or artistic attractions? Do you ever boast about God’s grace and work in your life? Is God blessing you in ways that ought to be shared with others for their encouragement and up building? Then boast in the Lord today, He is worthy of our boasting. The message I want to convey to you today, is about the best way or the positive or right way to boast. You may ask, is there a positive way to boast? How could boasting be something positive? Friend let me tell you that boasting is good if we boast about the right thing. So, what are the things that we shouldn’t boast about and what should we boast about? For those of us who know God, there is a reason for celebration. The Bible uses the word rejoice, which in the original language is translated to boast. “Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2 through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we boast in the hope of the glory of God” (Rom. 5:1-2). Normally for the believer in Christ, boasting is a sign of pride, where the sinner boasts of his independence of God. But there is a positive boasting, not in self but in God. We’ve been prompted by God to boast about something – He doesn’t want us to boast of our achievements or the things that we have or have done. He simply wants us to boast about knowing Him personally and how He operates in the lives of humanity. So, the Bible says in Jer. 9:23-24 that:“Let not the wise boast of their wisdom or the strong boast of their strength or the rich boast of their riches, 24 but let the one who boasts boast about this: that they have the understanding to know me, that I am the LORD, who exercises kindness, justice and righteousness on earth, for in these I delight,” declares the LORD. “Therefore, as it is written: Let the one who boasts boast in the Lord” (1 Cor. 1:31).But, “Let the one who boasts boast in the Lord” (2 Cor. 10:17). Go ahead and boast about knowing God! It’s good to boast in God. It’s not pride at all. The only way boasting is not good is when the wise boast of their wisdom or the strong boast of their strength or the rich boast of their riches. There is a holy boasting: live for God and know God intimately. You shouldn’t be ashamed of making the character of God known to the world. Don’t forget to mention the love of God when you have the opportunity. Just because it might be seen as boastful, don’t refrain from sharing your faith in God and sharing His goodness. Don’t refrain from declaring your new identity in Him and how He has created you for success. You limit yourself so as not to offend or outshine others, but the Bible clearly says that the believer is the light of this world. See yourself as God sees you. Otherwise, you are not living to achieve God’s purpose for your life. This might lead to self-sabotage, downplaying who you are, playing small or even limiting the character and attributes of God. The passages found in Jer. 9:23-24, 1 Cor. 1:31 & 2 Cor. 10:17 are powerful passages of scripture. If we will sit down and be honest and objectively analyse ourselves, we will find out how much of our lives is boasting in the fact that we know God, or know Him in an intimate way. You see, the scripture says, “Let not the wise boast of their wisdom or the strong boast of their strength or the rich boast of their riches, 24 but let the one who boasts boast about this: that they have the understanding to know me, that I am the LORD, who exercises kindness, justice and righteousness on earth, for in these I delight,” declares the LORD. “Therefore, as it is written: “Let the one who boasts boast in the Lord” (1 Cor 1:31).But “Let the one who boasts boast in the Lord” (2 Cor 10:17). These verses of scripture are talking about here in this life. They are not talking about when we stand before God and get a revelation about what’s right and wrong. These are telling us what’s important. They say don’t let people boast in their wisdom or in their own knowledge that they have accumulated. Therefore, as it is written: “Let the one who boasts boast in the Lord.” I’m repeating these scriptures to let you know that boasting in the Lord is not pride at all. It’s a commandment from God. People always want others to know what they have achieved. We are not saying that you shouldn’t tell people what you have attained or achieved, but the emphasis must not be on your accomplishment. If you know God, that’s the most distinguishing characteristics in your life. We are not talking about just knowing who God is, or just having somebody told you and you know that He exists, but having an intimate walking relationship with God. Currently, people
