Internet Tour

-
Hi folks:
I know you are tired of waiting for Lesson Sixteen. There are actually twenty-one lessons. I broke off to take a tour of the internet among other things. I attempted downloading one gospel song video from each African country. I came up with 20 countries (about six from South Africa alone), and I am still going. I stumbled upon music by Lundi for the first time. I worked on the translations till I fell sick. I met Webster's Universal Dictionary or something like that and it came up with single word translations in the languages it features. I have learnt some Xhosa and Zulu words, but at the moment they are stuck together in my head, so later...

I tried to make some friends online in South Africa and elsewhere. succes rate is still 2%. One guy called Tumelo Victor has been helpful so far, except that he is not interested in the music I am interested in.

I came across complete audio recordings of summaries of the Bible in severaaaaaaal languages (accuracy eludes me tonight), and was surprised to learn that such a resource is so close by. A number of Asante gospel songs sang ordinarily (I almost hear my voice in them) are featured in the recordings. I was hard put to it finding statistics on how many Christian have read the Bible and how many Muslims have read the Quran and stuff like that...

I came across "creating a public profile" in google...

I will go a-touring again soon, then I will be back to conitnue with the lessons.
See ya!

    Keep on exploring! It is one of the most beneficial things to do now. You see, a Pastor should be very resourceful. Most of the things we use to spend much money in buying are now freely available on the net. And it is only by exploring that will help you to know where to go for what, when the need arises. Stay blessed.

THE CHRISTIAN AND THE LAW OF MOSES

July 3 at 7:48 AM  ·  On the Christian and the Law of Moses Since Christ has set you free from the curse of the Law, now put to death the following: 1. Fornication 2. Uncleanness 3. Passion (letting evil thoughts control you) 4. Evil desires 5. Covetousness, which is idolatry 6. Anger, or wrath 7. Malice 8. Blasphemy 9. Filthy language 10. Lies "Because of these, God's wrath comes on the disobedient, ... "For the wrongdoer will be paid back for whatever wrong he has done, and there is no favoritism." (Colossians 3:5-11, 25) Observation : Whoever has been set free by Christ, whether Jew or Gentile, is now more acutely aware of the destructive nature of what the law forbids, and why God abhors them. He or she is therefore expected to uproot them from his/her system (put them to death, NOT JUST SHOW THE SURFACE LEVEL COMPLIANCE WITH THE LAW). Otherwise, they should expect the same judgment that God visits on those who do them! For, th

FOR BETTER FOR WORSE FOR GOOD

 FOR BETTER FOR WORSE FOR GOOD Your spouse isn't in your life simply to give you blissful days. He or she is in also to improve your character by stretching it to limits no one else can.  Just like change of lesson at school, couples regularly give each other bad days without even intending to. Those are all providential too. That is why every marriage looks nicer from the outside, at least soon as the honeymoon is over. Over time, after you've learnt to trust better and let some things go, you'll understand that you've been forged for greater things.  During the 'difficult lesson' periods, consider first which aspects of your own character is being dealt with, and try and make amends, otherwise, you'll have to do remedials several times over.  You focus also on God's overall goodness to you, and make room to thank Him. Don't let your grumbling steal His honor and praise. He is the one refining us, and though He passes us through fire, He is with us

(Economy African Cereals and Tubers Edition) 1. Gari (roasted milled cassava) ________________________________ Champion - can be prepared to be eaten with soup, stews or sugar. Stores quite well and has earned a lot of respect across West Africa. 2. Kyekyire (milled/powdered roasted dry corn) ________________________________________________ 1st Contender - can be prepared and eaten with sugar, soup or stews. Is usually in contention with tom-brown (which is not locally produced). Significantly durable, but usually priced higher than gari. 3. Akple (milled/powdered dry corn) _____________________________________ 2nd Contender - can be prepared to be eaten with soups, stews or sugar, but may need regular drying to stay healthy. People prefer to keep dry corn to transform into Kyekyire or konkonte as the need arises. 4.
