Money, Pastors’ Wives and Church Members causes for Church Break-ups.

Money, Pastors’ Wives and Church Members causes for Church Break-ups.

Many church successions and breakups occur as a result of greed for money, pressure from pastors’ wives and pressure from church members.

Rev. John B. Ghatey Head of department of Theology and Missions at the Central University College declared this unreserved declaration on Saturday July 14th 2007 at the launch of a new book “Succession within the charismatic churches, the causes and the possible solutions” written by Rev. Thom Adesina in Accra.

Rev. Ghatey was very charismatic about his disappointment about indiscipline and greed which has overtaken many pastors in the country.
He reiterated that, there could be amicable and genuine separation of pastors in a ministry who have different gifts and calling but disagrees with pure bitterness and greed splitting up great churches.

“It is a big shame when we label God’s voice as the reason for the breakup”. Rev. Ghartey said.

In response to this assertion, Rev. Ghartey said it is identity crisis that is causing most pastors to break away from their mother churches and not the “VOICE OF GOD”.


The book launch which was well attended by distinguished Pastors and business executives was to draw the attention of the charismatic community in Ghana concerning the increasing rate of church breakups which is detrimental to the body of Christ.

The author of the book Rev. Thom Adesina who said it took him three years of intensive qualitative research to come up with concrete data to authenticate his theories.

Speaking to the media, Rev. Adesina said there is no definite solution to the problem of church conflicts; however, there can be ways to minimize the epidemic.

He labels the problem as a cankerworm that must be dealt with wisdom and prayer.
Rev Adesina said, “Calling needs to be timed”.

The book will be on the Ghanaian market from July 16, 2007.

My Open Prayer

OK!!!
What in the world am I gonna do now after my exams?

I need to go to Europe or to the States I'm still uncertain because my financial status is temporally a mess.

But I must go...

I need some refreshing of the soul and body.

God help me to get some Pharaohs and Butlers to my aid.

My fervent prayer is Jehovah Jireh, Provide for me now because my hope is in the name of the Lord and i am RIGHTEOUS through Yahshua and therefore i ask for your divine help in making an way for me in this hard time.

Lord Lord i know and believe that you will honor your word and prophecy for my life.

Thank you in advance for the answered prayers.
In Yahshua's name i pray.. AMEN!



O for once I'm bold to post my prayers online..
Yahweh, as i openly confess you at this hour past midnight, i call upon the host of angels to bear my prayers before your throne and bring me immediate answers.

For you are great. You do Miracles so Great and there's no one else like you.
Thank Father Lord for the answers you have already given me.
The world out there is witness to my prayer therefore let not the enemy take your Glory.

Amen.

Lordy Lord! Help the Weary Soul

Oh how liberating life could be when you finish your academic exams...
Now, I'm done with the academic year and feels so liberating not to study tonight.

I am free! I am Free!!

Come to think of liberty and freedom, who the heavens do these Ghanaian politicians think they are?

They claim to care about the people and yet neglect the cry of the masses over their inefficient running of the country.

These politicians are very arrogant and naive to say the least.

On other issue, the Ghanaian society and the communities are laden with contradictions and contrast that is overwhelming to diagnose.

You have the Trassaco, Manet, Regimmanuels as the prestigious communities and yet on the way to these residential enclaves, the roads are TERRIBLY AWFUL and they expect the government to repair these roads for them to drive their Jaguars, Chryslers, Hummers, Range Rovers, Cadillacs, Lexus' on.

How insulting this is to the poor Ghanaian selling Rice and beans on the Spintex Road or the local Hausa Kooko seller or the roasted plantain seller dotted along the routes to these enclaves.


I question the Ghanaian assumptions of Development through Democracy.

Maybe i may be all that wrong about African politicians and their so called patriotism.

They can't even fight their own fight..

We have Bob Geldof , Bono and Jeffrey Sachs Pleading for African debt cancellation.


oooooooh

I'm exhausted somehow but need to continue this battle of the mind soul and spirit to overcome the lustful desires of this mortal body.

HELP ME.. LORD HELP MY SOUL.
