I 'own' guns for 'physical protection' – Owusu Bempah

Image
As humans, we want to see God's protection as a magic force field that keeps us from all harm. Yes, God has to stop evil or destruction but we must remember that we live in a depraved society; hence the need by some Christians to personally find ways to protect themselves physically. The Holy Book, according to Psalm 140:4 says “Keep me safe, LORD, from the hands of the wicked; protect me from the violent, who devise ways to trip my feet.” This particular scripture, among several other verses in the Bible that speak of God’s protection, according to Rev Isaac Owusu Bempah, though “spiritually” powerful and effective, doesn’t ‘really’ work in our everyday activities. Pastors With Bodyguards It might sound outlandish but it is even a common sight now to see some renowned men of God around the globe surrounded by several able-bodied men acting as their bodyguards for protection, instead of depending on God's deliverance or protection. But what of a man of God carrying a weapon for...

Christian Kwabena Andrews, a.k.a Osofo Kyiri Abosom from campaigning in his (Chiefs) jurisdiction.

The enraged Chief in an interview with Okay FM monitored by Kasapafmonline.com stated that the action of the Pastor cum politician is a great affront to the traditional authorities of Elmina for which reason the latter must not go unpunished. He noted that although he reported the incident to the Police, the law enforcement agency has failed to take action claiming they are unable to deal with spiritual matters. Nana Kojo Kondua XI has, therefore, vowed to ensure that Osofo Kyiri Abosom wh...

Three Relationship Topics People Don’t Discuss Until It’s Too Late

Image
Last week, I debated no less than three different relationship topics with various people on and off-line. Taken individually, no single topic was particularly groundbreaking. But, when I began thinking about them in total I realized they’re topics that we think about but don’t like to discuss because the conversation is usually uncomfortable. Instead, we avoid the topics and hope they work themselves out on their own when we already know they never will. Below are three topics people should discuss in the beginning of a relationship but they often don’t have until the end… 1. Is Being Faithful Hard? Rather than answer this question, I’ll ask another question. If being faithful is easy, then why do so many people cheat? Have you asked your partner if they’ve always been faithful or their thoughts on cheating? To be clear, I’m not only talking about physical encounters. Many people limit their definition of cheating to physical encounters. However, most infidelities don’t le...
