FAITHFUL STEWARDS, by Rev. Samuel Entsua-Mensah

BEASTLY MEN

“…They are presumptuous, self-willed. They are not afraid to speak against dignitaries, whereas angels, who are greater in power and might, do not bring a reviling accusation against them before the Lord. But these, like NATURAL BRUTE BEASTS made to be caught and destroyed, speak evil of the things they do not understand, and will utterly perish in their own corruption.”  

(2 Peter 2:10-12) 

REINSTATEMENT – THE GLORIOUS COME BACK

Many years ago, in my primary school days I had an unusual enthusiasm for all manner of sport. I wanted to do a bit of everything and be the best at them all. One day our class played a soccer match against another class of which I contributed an own goal. We had a draw with my only goal against my own team and each side looked forward to scoring the winning goal. Suddenly an anger aroused in me which caused me to score the winning goal from a long distance five minutes before the match closed.

THE BUOYANT HEART OF BARSABAS

I have observed under the sun that one of the things which remain unchangeable in life is change. It is a valued fact that change will not change yet every other thing is subject to change. After Judas Iscariot betrayed Jesus Christ, the apostles had to replace him. This act of replacing this cantankerous fellow was a fulfillment of prophecy which was however reiterated by Luke in The Acts of the Apostles saying “For it is written in the book of Psalms, Let his habitation be desolate, and let no man dwell therein: and his bishoprick let another take.” (1:20) This is another brilliant opportunity for change to perform justly.
