Take My Hand Inspirations: March 2020

Take My Hand Inspirations

And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding from the throne of God and of the Lamb. In the middle of its street, and on either side of the river, was the tree of life, which bore twelve fruits, each tree yielding its fruit every month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations (Revelation 22:1-2).

Wow, if we have discussed the life-long processes and blessings of bearing and harvesting the nine Fruits of the Spirit, can you imagine just what the other three will do to our glorified bodies in heaven?! O, what we have to look forward to—everlasting life—and there shall be no more curse, but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it, and His servants shall serve Him (Rev. 22:3).

And who are His servants? We are the ones redeemed to God by His blood out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation (Rev. 5:9c).

For the hearts of this people have grown dull. Their ears are hard of hearing, and their eyes they have closed, lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, lest they should understand with their hearts and turn, so that I should heal them (Acts 28:27).

It’s time to stop weeping, Children of God, stop hating and being rooted in bitterness. The works of the flesh (Galatians 5:19-21) will quench the Holy Spirit and prevent Him from manifesting His Fruits in you (Galatians 5:22-23). You must let go of the pain. What’s troubling us the most is not being able to get rid of the pain—for some of us the pain is pounding; others the pain is dull and eerie and is like a still small voice constantly reminding us to stay angry at that old oppressive invisible “man”.

Don’t grow used to the pain, dear Christian. Do accept it as a permanent part of your life. IT’S TIME TO BE SET FREE into abundant life, energetic physical, emotional and spiritual health. You are a child of God; and our Father will never leave you. He’s only a breath away—waiting for you to simply A.S.K.: Ask for His forgiveness for the stubbornness/disobedience in you that has put you in this pain you’re in. Seek for His favour and mercy. Knock on the door of His heart through prayer, fasting, meditation of His Word—in other words, draw closer to God and the devil (the pain, the fear) will flee from you.

A challenge has been thrown at us today in a form of biological warfarecalled COVID-19 (waging war not only on our physical/emotional bodies, but also on our spiritual and socioeconomic stability) . Our nations can be healed when we put away our pain, and unite as one human family to find the cure and fight back by choosing to LIVE IN OBEDIENCE TO GOD’S WORD—by choosing to put our differences down, and rise up joining our scientific and technological resources to combatting this furious foe.

Sometimes we build our own prison of pain by the wrong choices we make (can’t blame all our suffering on the devil). The devil can only wait to see what choice we make, then he knows how to put the shackles on you when you break the Law of Christ. But when you bear the multitude harvest of the Fruits of the Holy Spirit, you manifest the power, the capability, to break those satanic strongholds . . . and be free, to love yourself again, to be wholly healed.

The Fruits of the Spirit are your character formation; and you must be transformed by the renewing of your mind (the driver of your soul). You must change from disobedience to complete obedience in Christ and in His Word.

I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is good and acceptable and the perfect will of God (Romans 12:1-2).

THE PERFECT WILL OF GOD IS THE BEARING OF HIS FRUITS—TO BECOME LIKE HIS SON JESUS CHRIST and

TO UNITE AS ONE PEOPLE.

Prayer For the Nations

Holy Spirit,

Fall afresh upon every tribe of every nation

Tear us apart in the inner man and destroy that which gives us pain.

Please forgive us of our sins masked in murders,

hailed in hatred, buried in bitterness and brutality.

And shower your mercies upon us mere flesh and bones.

May you ignite a fire, a passion in us, for serving you, O Lord

In Spirit and in Truth

Proving what is good and right by you;

Then put us back together again that Your love be our love

Your power our power; Your mind our mind, Your heart our heart

And Your hands our hands to help us reach out and touch

Somebody’s life as channels of healing

making this earthly world a reflection of our home in heaven.

In Jesus Name we pray.

Amen

There comes a time in life when you declare: “Enough is enough!” Then you get up and do something about it. Because, if you don’t do something, it just won’t get done; and you’ll be sitting around complaining until no one wants to be around you.

“The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because He has anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and recovery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed; to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord” (Isaiah 61:1-2 and also read verse 3).

Those who are called by the Lord to go out, we are known as the sent ones. We are given the Spirit of power, and of love and of sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7) because we know that the anointing we have received for this job will be met by strong opposition: spiritually, emotionally and physically, especially through financial blockage. Lord help us!

When Jesus sent out the 70, they came back marveled by the miracles done in His name. Jesus understood their joy which confirmed their faith, but He also cautioned them that: “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. Nevertheless, do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rather rejoice because your names are written in heaven” (Read Luke 10:17-20).

Satan is a roaring lion ever and always ready to kill, steal and destroy what God has created—the human body and the human soul. The body is easy to destroy for Satan, but the soul part of us is his challenge. In what ways Satan can destroy the soul?

The answer to this very question is what God, our Father, and Rev. Peter Osei Akwasi Anyamesem, my late father, have empowered and equipped me to do. This is my very mission as part of the Great Commission given to all believers by Jesus Christ to get up and do—to preach, to heal, to set the captives free as I lead them to see who Jesus is. Take My Hand Inspirations Mission is the teaching-evangelizing call I have been given to go out and reach children and teens through Real Talk. Lord, raise up divine helpers for Real Talk!

OVERVIEW

REAL TALK TEACHING TRACTS are designed for elders, the Mentors—pastors, parents, teachers, community leaders—to talk one-on-one and face-to-face with our young people from the rural villages to the high-speed cities of Ghana, West Africa, then the whole of Africa, then the whole world, who have so many questions about their specific life’s issues. "REAL TALK" means to talk about issues real to our youth today concerning sexuality, gender inequalities, what friends to make, even how to dress to express their real identity. And these conversations are to be facilitated in THE CHILDREN’S CHURCH. It’s time we, the elders, become the face of guidance for our youth and not negative social media and inexperienced peer influence. (It is acknowledged that there is positive social media and well-intentioned peer influence, yet both are being booted by Satan’s weapons of warfare).

These tracts are designed into Series to be printed on a 6-month cyclical scheme. For example, Steps to Salvation Series is now on the market from January to June. The Armor of God Series is scheduled to be printed for the July-December 6-month cycle. “REAL TALK “ is meant to transform lives of children and teens during CHILDREN’S CHURCH SERVICE as they are CHILDREN’S CHURCH MATERIALS; and by no means a substitute to Sunday School materials. In fact, we provide a whole training program designed in structuring the Children’s Church’s Order of Service, thereby endorsing our mission with this proposition: “Multiplying Our Children’s Churches with Real Talk!”

MISSION

This work is commissioned to snatch our children out of Satan’s grip with Steps to Salvation series; to produce an army of spiritual warfare fighters with Armor of God series; to equip future generations with Holy Spirit power with Fruit of the Spirit series; and to add a new series every six months for our children to live Biblically and closely with older Christian people in their lives. Each series includes 10 lessons (or conversations for the soul part of us) for a group of ten youth with a certificate of completion and a graduation program (optional) onto the next series. Some Series come with colouring sheets to add to the implanting of the scripture into young souls.

OBJECTIVES

*To supply the combined 15,000 established Children’s Churches across EVERY DENOMINATION IN GHANA with REAL TALK TEACHING TRACTS.

*To reach out to youth across the nation and globally (across all denominations) to win their souls to Christ Jesus while structuring and building up their Children’s Church Order of Service.

*To revive the children’s church today to create a safe haven for our adolescent souls to grow up strong in the lord and in the power of his might!

WHO WILL BUY IT

These TRACTS are for every home, church, school, or community club/organization that works with children and teens; and can be purchased by caring adults or organizations involved in the lives of young people. Currently, REAL TALK is sold through Assemblies of God, Ghana Bookshops nationwide.

THE NEED FOR REAL TALK TEACHING TRACTS FOR CHILDREN AND TEENS

Children and Teens, especially, are making new friends everyday with: Negative Social Media, Other Inexperienced Peers, and The Occult. Where do concerned Parents, Teachers, and Elders fit into this list? Let’s critically examine the outcomes of these “strange” friendships.

The Rise in Numbers of:

• Unexpected Teenage Pregnancies

• Illegal Abortions

• Deaths due to Experimentation with Drugs , Alcohol and Smoking (overdosing, organ failure, cognitive disorders)

• Possession by Pornography

• Obsession with Gambling / Occultist Rituals for “quick cash”

• Cases of Armed Robbery and Murders

• Cases of Suicide

• Cases of Madness due to failed interpersonal relationships with those who can help: We, the Parents, Teachers, Elders

THE SOLUTION: “REAL TALK” TEACHING TRACTS

These “Soul Conversations” you are about to have with your children or teens—the Youth—are designed to aid you, the Parent, Teacher, Elder, in teaching Biblical Truths, and at the same time, help you to “talk” to and with (not at) your children or adolescents about their inner life: how they feel, what they think about, and what actions they will take based on the decisions they will make, prayerfully with your guidance. Your role as Parent-Teacher-Elder is to open them up, in an atmosphere of love, to the revelation that JESUS CHRIST CARES ABOUT EVERYTHING they are going through and wants to allow them to CHOOSE THE BEST SOLUTION: Believing and trusting Him to be Lord and Saviour over their lives.
