Title: “The Answer is in the Wind: Discovering Life’s Secrets Through Nature’s Breath”

The word ‘wind’ holds the same essence as ‘breath’ and, ultimately, ‘spirit.’ ‘Ruach,’ the word for spirit, signifies a breath of the Almighty. The wind unravels the invisible nature of God, portraying His imposing sovereign presence and will. When facing challenges, I seek solace by the beach, positioning myself to catch answers from the wind. As Jesus proclaimed, the wind carries solutions, and within its whispers lies the answer to life’s problems. (John 3:8)

In this exploration, “The Answer is in the Wind,” we delve into the profound insights offered by nature’s gentle breath. From ancient wisdom carried by the breeze to subtle messages woven into rustling leaves, join us on a journey to uncover the answers nature graciously shares. This article invites readers to reflect and attune themselves to the subtle whispers that hold keys to understanding the world.

The winds mentioned in Psalm 78:26 and Numbers 11:31 reveal divine provision and direction. The wind, a mystery of God, is eloquently expressed in John 3:8, showing its unpredictable yet transformative nature.

Life, miracles, and empowerment are embodied in the wind, as seen in Genesis 2:7, Exodus 14:21-24, and Acts 2:1-4. However, not every wind brings answers; some are troublemakers, hijacked by the enemy. Yet, the Lord, as depicted in Mark 4:39, has the power to calm storms and bring peace.

Ephesians 4:11-12, 14 warns against winds of false doctrine that seek to scatter and shatter the mind. God’s intervention is evident in Genesis 8:1, where a wind subsided the waters.

To navigate life, be led by the discerning winds of the Spirit, as emphasized in Acts 27:13-15. Just as a violent wind, called Euraquilo, altered the course of a ship, discernment helps us navigate the challenges and storms we face. In the winds, both natural and spiritual, lie the profound answers to life’s mysteries.

In conclusion, "The Answer is in the Wind" unfolds the remarkable parallels between the natural winds and the spiritual significance they hold. From the breath of God to the transformative power of the wind, we have journeyed through insights found in scripture and the poetic connection to life's mysteries.

As we navigate the winds of life, let us discern their essence and draw inspiration from the divine messages they carry. The stories of divine provision, miracles, and empowerment remind us of the intricate role the wind plays in the tapestry of our existence.

Yet, we must remain vigilant, acknowledging that not every wind brings answers; some are adversaries seeking to scatter and shatter our minds. The timeless wisdom of scripture assures us that, just as Jesus calmed the stormy sea, we too can find peace amidst life's turbulent winds by calling upon the Lord.

In the dance of winds, both natural and spiritual, we find the keys to unlocking life's secrets. Genesis 8:1 echoes the promise of subsiding storms, affirming that God remembers and calms the winds that threaten to overwhelm us.

As we journey forward, let us be led by the discerning winds of the Spirit, guided by a wisdom that transcends the natural elements. In the winds of change, challenge, and divine intervention, the profound answers to life's mysteries are unveiled, inviting us to attune our hearts to the gentle whispers that hold the keys to understanding and thriving in the world around us.

Title: "The Way to the Top: Navigating the Loneliness of Ascent"

In the pursuit of reaching the summit, the path to the top often proves to be a solitary journey. Amidst the breathtaking views of success, one encounters the harsh realities of betrayals, conspiracies, rejections, mockery, disappointment, and the looming fear of the unknown.

Betrayals:
The climb to the top unveils the stark truth that not everyone will share your vision or stand by your side. Betrayals, whether subtle or overt, become a part of the ascent. Trusted allies may turn into unexpected adversaries, testing your resilience and commitment.

Conspiracies:
Conspiracies, like shadows, cast doubts along the way. As you ascend, whispers of ulterior motives and hidden agendas may surround you. Navigating through these webs of deceit requires a discerning spirit and an unwavering focus on your goals.

Rejections:
Rejections, though disheartening, are inevitable companions on the lonely path to the top. Each "no" becomes a stepping stone, propelling you closer to the summit. It's in the face of rejection that determination is forged, and resilience takes root.

Mockery:
The echoing laughter of skeptics and naysayers reverberates through the solitude of the climb. Mockery, a bitter pill to swallow, serves as a reminder that unconventional paths often face resistance. Yet, it is in proving the skeptics wrong that true strength is revealed.

Disappointment:
Disappointment, like a heavy fog, may temporarily obscure the view. Setbacks and unmet expectations become part of the narrative. However, it is in overcoming disappointment that the journey becomes a testament to tenacity and adaptability.

Fear of the Unknown and Uncertainties:
The fear of the unknown shrouds the path, creating a sense of trepidation. Uncertainties loom like daunting peaks, challenging your resolve. Conquering this fear becomes a triumph in itself, as you learn to embrace the unpredictability of the climb.

Scandals:
Scandals, like thunderstorms, may threaten to derail the ascent. Gossip and false accusations may attempt to tarnish your journey. Yet, it is in weathering these storms that one's character is refined and authenticity prevails.

Stigmatization:
Stigmatization, a heavy burden, may accompany the climb. Labels and prejudices may attempt to define you. It is in defying these stereotypes that you redefine the narrative, turning stigmatization into a testament to your individuality.

Evils of the Day:
Finally, the ascent may expose you to the prevailing evils of the day. Corruption, moral dilemmas, and ethical challenges may cast shadows on the journey. Navigating these ethical minefields becomes a testament to your commitment to integrity.

In conclusion, the way to the top is undeniably fraught with challenges, and the loneliness of the path can be daunting. However, it is in facing and overcoming betrayals, conspiracies, rejections, mockery, disappointment, fear, scandals, stigmatization, and the evils of the day that true leaders emerge. The summit, though lonely, offers a panoramic view of triumph over adversity, a testament to the strength and resilience forged on the arduous journey to the pinnacle of success.

Title: "Inner Nuggets of Success: Forging Triumph from Within"

While external challenges may line the path to success, the true treasures lie within—the inner nuggets that propel individuals toward triumph. Amidst the betrayals, rejections, and uncertainties, these internal facets become the guiding stars on the journey to the top.

1. Faith:
In the face of trials, faith acts as an unwavering compass. Believing in God and oneself, the journey, and a higher purpose instills resilience. Faith provides the courage to persevere when the external world casts doubt, fostering an unshakeable foundation for success. I am standing here because I have faith in God and in myself 

2. Resilience:
Resilience is the armor that shields against the arrows of setbacks. It's the ability to bounce back, to learn from failures, and to adapt in the face of adversity. With resilience, each challenge becomes a stepping stone rather than a stumbling block on the path to achievement. You must be invincible and resilient heart beats the margin.

3. Hope:
Hope is the beacon that cuts through the darkness of disappointments. It fuels the spirit, reminding individuals that beyond every trial lies the potential for brighter tomorrows. Cultivating hope transforms challenges into opportunities and setbacks into comebacks.

4. Skill and Knowledge:
Inner success requires honing one's skills and acquiring knowledge. It's the constant quest for improvement and growth. Skill and knowledge serve as the tools to navigate the complexities of the journey, empowering individuals to overcome obstacles with competence.

5. Consistency:
Consistency is the steady rhythm that propels individuals forward. It's the commitment to daily efforts, no matter how small, that accumulate into monumental achievements. Consistency sustains progress, turning aspirations into tangible results over time.

6. Perseverance:
Perseverance is the driving force that endures beyond rejections and conspiracies. It's the refusal to succumb to challenges, the determination to keep climbing even when the path is steep. Perseverance transforms obstacles into stepping stones toward success.

7. Power and Joy:
Inner strength is derived from embracing personal power and finding joy in the journey. It's the recognition that true success involves not just reaching the destination but relishing the process. Power and joy fuel the spirit, making the climb not just worthwhile but deeply fulfilling.

In conclusion, these inner nuggets—faith, resilience, hope, skill, knowledge, consistency, perseverance, and the amalgamation of personal power and joy—are the indispensable elements that fortify individuals on their journey to success. As external challenges arise, it is from within that the strength emanates to conquer the summit, turning the lonely path into a triumphant and fulfilling ascent.

Title: “The Strayed, Prayerless Church in a Crooked & Perverted Generation” – Dr. Oppong-Amoabeng 

God’s healing power is more than sufficient to heal every kind of sickness and disease, both existing and yet to come, here on earth. I bring good news: The Bride of Christ, the Church, was purchased with the precious blood of Jesus over 2000 years ago, amidst the agonizing pain He endured on Calvary’s Cross. However, regrettably, the Church for which Jesus sacrificed His life has deviated from the path and has transformed into what the Bible refers to as “A crooked and perverted generation.” This deviation has been a result of compromise with the spirit behind the worldly system. The attitude that characterized the Church of Laodicea has pervaded today’s Church profoundly. It’s an attitude that falls into the category of “neither cold nor hot.” By adopting this attitude, the Church attempts to be comfortable with both God and secular organizations and human institutions on Earth.  

YOU SEE, IF YOU ARE NOT PRAYING, THEN YOU ARE PLAYING. A believer who is merely playing can be described as a ‘faith derelict’ or an ‘unbelieving believer.’ When a follower of Christ reaches this level of compromise, they lose touch with the power and ability of Christ available within the kingdom of God. The existence of ‘playing believers’ is a reflection of the presence of ‘playing Pastors’ and many so-called ‘playing prophets,’ commonly found in ‘playing churches.’ While I believe God still raises up true prophets, the emergence of many so-called “New Age Prophets” in this crooked generation reveals a stark contrast to the genuine prophets sent by God. A “New Age” prophet is fundamentally different from the prophets in the Bible because our Lord Jesus provided us with a criterion for judging them: “By their fruit, ye shall know them.” Anyone claiming a calling to the prophetic ministry, like the other four ministry areas, must adhere to the principles and the spirit of the Word of God. When the church engages in playing, it becomes more like a window shopping destination for sinners rather than a sanctuary for repentant sinners seeking cleansing. Instead of making advances in kingdom missions, we find ourselves dealing with a variety of afflictions. 

 PRAYER BRINGS REVIVAL FROM DEAD WORKS OF THE FLESH. When a believer experiences revival, their spirit is ignited, and they come alive spiritually and emotionally. On the contrary, a playing church ushers in a sense of revolving. Revolving leads people to move in circles, and that is the current state of the Body of Christ. Many 21st-century Christians find themselves going around in cycles in this generation, making progress but remaining trapped within the confines of a common and mediocre life that hardly yields any godly achievements glorifying Jesus. The problematic aspect of this condition is that it tends to make ‘revolving believers’ find solace in a developed inclination for duplication and imitation as their measure of accomplishments and progress. 

Tell me, which of the praying saints of the Early Church operated under a counterfeit or imitation anointing? They were all endowed with an original anointing, which is why they excelled and stood out in their respective callings. That is why we read about them today in the Book of Acts, the Epistles, and historical records. Contemporary saints are often alike but lack distinctiveness. Our achievements are not the result of prayer but rather mirror duplications and mere copies of our heroes of faith.

The deceptive side of our post-modern Christianity is, the jet-speed world makes believers feel that they are moving ahead at a great speed, yet the paradox is, they  are merely revolving and not covering any distance. Many who seem to be making advancement are merely re-cycling old experiences. They only discover later to their astonishment that they were merely riding on a stationary jet-plane and have not covered any distance at all! 

I visited the potter’s house whiles he worked with clay. I considered the work of the ant under the scorching sun of the earth, and this is one thing I learnt; that speed and distance are movements of parallel action. You can be slow like the ant and still go to places-or else, you can be swift as the potter’s wheel and go nowhere in life! 

The Church of Christ is a backslidden, disappointed Bride. Today’s Church has lost guard and permitted hell to infiltrate our ranks, bringing along sins of all kinds, including fornication and adultery. Instead of affirming our Lord’s inspiring Words that “The gates of hell shall not prevail against the Church” many Christian leaders are rather busy ushering satanic forces that come in ‘sheep’s clothing’ and disguised as an ‘angel of light’. I am sounding trumpet for a wake-up call of all sleeping saints. Arise, you sleeping giant and possess the land, else you will wake up at the wrong side of eternity. O yes, the verdict is already made: fornicators and adulterers shall be cast out of the Lord’s presence and into the lake of fire. Save yourself now and rescue others! 
As Paul asked the ‘foolish Galatians’, let me ask you: How come you began well in the spirit and have now ended in the flesh? How come you have strayed away from kingdom values? How come you have so soon let go off your bride gown and rather embraced things you once fought against? How come you have defiled and stained your robe with the fragments of the devil’s banquet? It is time you woke up from your slumber, sleeping saint, and retraced your steps and walked once again in the Spirit! 

Have you become like Saul, who will destroy all enchanters and diviners and afterwards stoop so low and go to consult a ‘witch of Endor’ himself? Or, you have become like Aaron, the prophetic priest of the Church in the wilderness who betrayed his master Moses and created, fellowshipped, and worshipped a golden calf, permitting an entire Church to blatantly practice idolatry and sin? I hope you will not take after the order of Solomon, who was the wisest man on earth, loved the Yahweh, yet at the height of his glory, went off course, got derailed on the rail of consistency and persistency, landed into the ditch of idolatry because he wanted to please all his numerous wives and concubines? 

The 21 st Century saint has become so organized and educated that he has forgotten the art of agonizing before the Lord in prayer. Where we have not agonized we only have “knight payers” and they take the place. When we have “Knight Prayers” we will shake the place and turn the world upside right- for the world is turned up side down when creation got disrupted by Hell. The Pharisees were “knights” who paid Judas to betray his master. They bought their way until they laid their cruel hands on the Lord- the altar, Head of the church, Christ himself - and destroyed the human temple by breaking it down. But watch the Knight of the praying vessels-the master prayed all night as a knight of prayer- the friends of the knight could not pray through for just an hour! But the place was shaken down to the falling of the knees of the Roman payers.

When we pray we shake the place but when we pay we just take the place. We have quoted Elijah as a man of faith with a passion to pray and compassion for man. The only thing we have in common with this great prophet is, we are all like-passion. Like-passion in terms of flesh and blood -but it ends just there. Can we also say boldly, we are praying as Elijah did in his days? I heard a feeble ‘crooked’ preacher shout on top of his voice, “We are on fire, let the fire burn.” Yes, and the fire has burnt ever since and it is still burning, so which fire is he referring to? 

The deceptive aspect of our post-modern Christianity is that the fast-paced world often gives believers the illusion of progress, but the reality is quite paradoxical. Many who appear to be advancing are actually just going in circles, recycling old experiences. They later realize, to their astonishment, that they’ve been on a stationary jet-plane, making no real progress. A visit to the potter’s house observing clay work or observing the diligent ant under the scorching sun teaches us a valuable lesson: speed and distance are not always equivalent. You can be as slow as an ant and still reach your destination, or you can be as swift as the potter’s wheel and make no real progress in life. 

We have only two fires at play, and they beget similar yet distinct consequences. The Holy Ghost fire ignites when the Church engages in fervent, P.U.S.H. (Pray Until Something Happens) prayers. In contrast, Hell fire rages when the Church remains apathetic, unprayerful, and unconsecrated, despite its large congregations. Everyone is burning one way or the other. So, which way are you burning right now? You are either ablaze with the empowering fire of the Holy Ghost or have been consumed by the fire of hell on earth. 

The latter path may lead to a destination in Hell itself, unless you rise up and redeem the time! Our pews and altars have grown so cold that even demonic flies feel comfortable settling upon them. When it’s hot, it burns and melts the stony hearts of sinful souls, whether they are rich or poor, confused or defeated. We are born again not just to boast of our prosperity but to fulfill a sacred duty. Our charge is to rescue the perishing from the fires of hell and usher them into God’s loving embrace. We are called, chosen, and anointed with heavenly power to open the floodgates of hell and release the Prisoners of Hope, guiding them toward a heavenly life on earth. This is the very purpose for which Jesus died, so that we may also “die” to self and live for others. 

In the Bible and throughout the history of the Church, sinners rarely converted without the power of prayer. While preaching is undoubtedly valuable, preaching alone, without the underpinning foundation of prayer, is little more than motivational speaking. When you pray, you are making a significant impact on a nation. When you merely play, you entertain, but it doesn’t carry the weight of transformation. A perverted generation often sidelines prayer and substitutes it with strategic planning. Leaders or pastors who adopt this mindset will replace prayer warriors with strategic planners, undermining the spiritual warfare needed. While planning is essential and necessary, planning alone cannot accomplish what prayer is designed to do. There must be a balance between planning and prayer. 

Praying when you should plan will lead to underachievement, and planning when you should pray exposes you to demonic attacks when you’re least prepared. It’s perilous to operate under the anointing without proper organization and planning. Likewise, all your planning will yield little fruit until you pray for souls to be won and sinners to be converted at the cross of Calvary, where the blood’s power remains intact. The signs and wonders of today often do not transform hearts from sin to righteousness but draw people closer to a miraculous prophet. Yet, the mere fact that someone is your friend does not guarantee that God is their friend. God’s friends are known by God and not by men. I spent many years in a great Church, and none of the top hierarchy knew me, but God knew me. Through persistent prayer, I called upon God to be a friend of my soul, and in time, He made me known to all. In this crooked and perverted generation, vipers are bred, adders are raised, religion is manufactured, and people appear religious but are rarely delightful to God. God is a God of excellence, not acceleration. Acceleration should be pursued only when one is already excellent. Jesus Himself waited for 30 years before embarking on His ministry. During that time, He diligently prepared, traveling from Bethlehem to Egypt, and from Egypt to Nazareth. He frequented temples and synagogues, learning from scribes and teachers of the law, all in preparation for His ministry. When you know your assignment, every place you go becomes a school for preparation. In this crooked and perverted generation, superficial acceleration is often mistaken for excellence.
