SHOWERS OF HEAVEN – Daily Light Series 13




SHOWERS OF HEAVEN
Daily Light Series 13

A human being can wrestle with spiritual agents or forces and prevail over them

Sound wisdom always goes with understanding

I agree with the statement that “a church grows (advances) at the pace of its weakest member, not the strongest.”

Honourable people are not immune to behaving dishourably

Grace is usually demonstrated through kindness

Righteousness is a shield

Right friendship enhances a person’s righteousness and vice versa.

THE ONE CEDI POLICING IN GHANA



THE ONE CEDI POLICING IN GHANA

Richard Obeng Mensah


Corruption is a mocker
Corruption is rude
Corruption steals, kills and destroys
Corruption usually uses established state institutions such as the Police Service to execute its vicious devices

Corruption usually uses money to achieve its goals
It uses money to weaken the strength of an established system
Corruption uses money to silence some eminent officials such as the police
It uses money to reduce the value of some police officers to bread
Corruption uses money to make some police officers forget their vital role


The primary role of the Ghana Police Service is to protect life and property
The service is for instance mandated to enforce road traffic regulations
Enforcing road traffic regulations secure life and property of the populace
Corruption is, however, silently making nonsense of this vital role
Corruption is using money to buy the loyalty and integrity of some police officers

Some police officers on the highways have giving in to corrupt tendencies
The value of some police officers patrolling the roads has been reduced to
just One Ghana Cedi
Road traffic offenders have learnt this language of corruption
Road traffic offenders know that once they are able to give One Ghana Cedi
 to some police officers on the road their offences would be ignored
Life and property are being sacrificed for just One Ghana Cedi!

THE LANGUAGE OF CORRUPTION




THE LANGUAGE OF CORRUPTION

Richard Obeng Mensah

Corruption is contagious
Corrupt communication corrupts good manners
Corruption is fluent in all earthly languages
Corruption is eloquent
Corruption speaks through people

Corrupt communications are usually oral
Its oral communications usually contradict an accepted standard
When corruption speaks, it coerces people to do its bidding
When corruption speaks, it usually gives ultimatums
Corruption usually speaks through dishonest leaders

Corrupt statements are usually contradictory
Corruption says what you need takes time but you can get it now or within a short period if you reward  its extra efforts
Corruption says what you need is officially not expensive but you can get an excellent service if you pay some unauthorized fees
Corruption says it is difficult, quite frustrating or impossible to get what you need but you easily get it by motivating its employees and agents

Corruption is weakened when you refuse to respond to its expressions
Corruption is silenced when you insist on the accepted standards
Corruption is defeated if you remain tenacious in your resistance.

THE LIMITS OF CHRISTIANITY

Richard Obeng Mensah


Christianity is uniting with Christ
A Christian is a unit of Christ
A Christian is a subset of Christ
As a subset of Christ, a Christian
must fit into Christ’s universal set


The hallmark of Christ’s universal set is love,
joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness and self-control
Christ’s universal set is always driven by worship, fellowship,
service, discipleship and missions
Christ’s universal set is regulated by the Word of God


Christianity demonstrates only the hallmark of Christ’s universal set
Christianity is always driven by its purpose
Christianity is limited by God’s Word.

THE HUMILITY IN GOD






THE HUMILITY IN GOD
Richard Obeng Mensah


I Am is His preferred Name
He is the Founder and Owner of the earth
I Am is the King of glory
He is strong and mighty
I Am is mighty in battle

Although I Am is mighty, He despises no one
Although I Am is high, He regards the lowly
The glorious I Am made Himself of no reputation
He took the form of a slave and a mere man

He permitted mortal men to despise and reject Him
He was oppressed and afflicted by mere men
Yet He did not protest
Men denied the Just I Am of justice
He humbled Himself and became obedient
To the point of death, even death of the cross!

God you are so humble
Be highly exalted more and more
Your Name shall forever be above every other name
At the mention of Your Name every knee in heaven, on earth and under the earth shall bow

Every tongue shall confess Your glorious Name
For great is the glory of I Am
I Am is highly exalted by His humility
I Am is excellent in power.
