The prices of gas was increased by a whopping 50%. The cost of living is, literally and figuratively, killing me.Īs though the burden is not heavy enough to carry, the government, in its infinite wisdom, increased the prices of fuel, once again very drastically.
The prices of foodstuffs are in the stratosphere.Īnd, please let no one throw darts into my eyes with stupid figures of declining inflation – the prices of almost everything I buy has shot up drastically. Two of life’s basics – water and electricity are in short supply. I cannot remember the last time I saw Ghana in this sorry state! That the elections were marred by disturbing irregularities were not sufficient reasons for some not to enjoy themselves.
Evangelism leads the unsaved to Jesus Christ discipleship shares ministry with the converts.It was just two short months ago that Ghanaians danced on the streets to welcome the new government.ĭisobeying all the traffic rules and regulations, victorious partisans of the wining party took over our major roads to do what we know best: dance ourselves silly at the least opportunity. Proper obedience of the Great Commission requires a balance of evangelism and discipleship, not a priority of one over the other. Jesus’ words, known to us as The Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20) emphasize the importance of sharing the gospel with unbelievers, but then training them in the Word of God. In this epistle, Paul impressed upon Timothy the necessity to disciple believers in Jesus Christ, not just evangelize the lost. One of Michael’s passions in ministry is stated by the Apostle Paul in 2 Timothy 2:2-And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.
