" I Am Encouraged By NPP's Commitment In Talensi" - Nana Akufo Addo

The 2016 presidential candidate of the New Patriotic Party, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, says he remains confident of victory in the 2016 election, despite the ‘disappointing’ result of the Tuesday, July 7, 2015, by-election in Talensi, which saw the NDC reclaiming the seat only won by the NPP’s Robert Mosore in 2012.
According to Nana Akufo-Addo, the attitude and the commitment of NPP Members of Parliament, national officers, regional, constituency and polling station executives, and the entire membership of the party towards the Talensi by-election were very encouraging, and indicative of the fact that the NPP is determined to work hard for victory in 2016.

“The results were not what we were expecting, but I am not too worried about that, especially as it was a traditional NDC seat. I am interested in the morale and the attitude of our party members that were on display in the campaign and on the day. The results are disappointing, but the work that was done, coupled with the attitude and commitment of our people towards the work ahead in 2016, was very encouraging,” Akufo-Addo said.

The NPP flagbearer made this known when 5 newly-elected parliamentary candidates, together with their constituency chairmen and the unsuccessful parliamentary aspirants, from the Aowin, Bia East, Bia West, Bodi and Juaboso constituencies, all in the Western Region, called on him at his Nima residence, on Wednesday, July 8, to introduce themselves formally to him.

In his remarks to the newly-elected candidates, Akufo-Addo appealed to them to adopt, what he describes as, the ‘Talensi Model’ in their respective constituencies, in the run-up to the campaign for 2016.  

Explaining the ‘Talensi Model’, Nana Akufo-Addo stated that “all the NPP aspirants who contested in the Talensi primaries were all together in the campaign. The aspirants who lost to Thomas Duanab were with him everywhere and it helped our campaign. They showed the way, which was that, ‘we are all going to campaign for Duanab’.”

This model, according to Akufo-Addo, must be replicated in all 275 constituencies across the country if the NPP is to be victorious in 2016.

He also urged all NPP members, sympathisers and well-wishers not to be discouraged by the Talensi result, as “this seat was not traditionally our seat.

“We shouldn’t be discouraged. We all witnessed the blatant abuse of incumbency in Talensi, to the extent that the entire government machinery, including State-sponsored violence, descended on this constituency all in the bid to win a by-election. On the contrary, I was impressed by the attitude and morale shown by our party members. If we can replicate this, it will help us a lot,” he added.

No One Can Curse You.

NO ONE CAN CURSE YOU

Numbers 23:8 How can I curse those whom God has not cursed? How can I denounce those whom the LORD has not denounced?

The people of Israel had become a strong force to reckon with. Many nations had been conquered on their way to the promise land.

Therefore fear had fallen on the surrounding nations including Balak, the ruler of Moab.

Numbers 22:3 says and Moab was terrified because there were so many people. Indeed, Moab was filled with dread because of the Israelites.

Therefore Balak sought the oracle of Ballam to come release a curse on Israel so that by the impact of the curse, Israel will be weakened and become vulnerable.

But when Ballam came and received the message, it was straight and concise; how can I curse those whom the Lord has not cursed?

In other words, God's approval activates the functionality of a curse but I have good news for you this morning.

The goodnews is that God has not cursed you. He became a curse by hanging on the tree so that we might become possessors of the blessings of Abraham.

Listen, I came with the sure word from heaven that no man can curse whom the Lord has not cursed including you and I.

For you are the apple of God's eye, accepted in the beloved, clothed in the glory of his name.

May be a man, a family member, even a "supposed man of God" has released a curse on you that you will not make it in life.

But let me announce to you that such negative utterances are mere oil drops in the oceans.

He says in blessing I will bless you and in multiplying I will multiply you and by the covenant mandate of the blessedness of Jesus, you are blessed beyond measure.

Consequently, blessed one, may the Lord answer you in distress, may the name of the God of Jacob protect you.

May he give you the desires of your heart and make all your plans succeed. May he grant you support from his sanctuary and from Zion where his glory dwells.

This is the more reason why you have to step out in style this morning as you gently walk to that office, school, church, project site cause only one thing we know....

YOU ARE TOO BLESSED TO BE CURSED
YOU ARE TOO DRESSED TO BE STRESSED
YOU ARE SO LIFTED TO BE TILTED......SELAH

SONG
I have no other God but you
I have no other God but you
You have done what no man has done
You will do what no man can do

Queenmother wants Homosexuality To Be Legalized In Ghana.

LIFESTYLE #SpeakOnIt: Queenmother calls for legalization of homosexuality in Ghana By Ameyaw Debrah.

ameyawdebrah.comAccording to adomoline.com, the Queenmother of Atimpoku in the Akwamu Traditional area, Nana Abrewa Kwabiaa IV has called for the legalization of homosexuality in Ghana. Nana Abrewa Kwabiaa IV said the legalization of same sex marriage will help reduce high birth rate in the country and help in the even distribution of national resources. Nana Abrewa Kwabiaa IV said this at the launch of the book, ‘The History of Akwamu’.

“When gay marriage is legalized in Ghana, I would be happy because the population of this world is increasing by the day and that would help check that because a marriage between a man and a man would not produce children and same applies to that between a woman and woman…,” she said.

The US Supreme Court last week accepted for the legalization of gay marriage in all the 50 states in the union and the court has come under severe criticism for legalization the act.

But the Queenmother thinks it would be in the interest of Ghana to legalise it.

Her view was subsequently opposed by the Adontenhene for Senchi, Nana Oduro Dapaa who openly condemned her.

Nana Abrewa Kwabiaa IV has since backtracked from her earlier claims.

Meanwhile, the spokesperson of the Association of Queen mothers, Nana Akyeabea, who is also the Queen mother of Akuapem Akropong says Nana Abrewa Kwabiaa will be invited by the executives of the association to answer question about her infamous statement.

Fulfill Your Prophetic Mandate.n

FULFILL YOUR PROPHETIC MANDATE

Jeremiah 1:10 See, I have this day set you over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out and to pull down, to destroy and to throw down, to build and to plant."(NKJV)

The word of the Lord came to Jeremiah at a particular season during the reign of King Josiah, Jehoaikim and Zedekiah in the land of Judah.

Even though born into a priestly family living in Anathoth, Jeremiah had his own unique calling and had been ordained from the womb as God's prophet with a three -point prophetic mandate:

1. Root out and pull down
2. Destroy and throw down
3. To build and to plant

Jeremiah thought that he was too young to be burdened with such a huge assignment but his excuses did not matter because God reached out and touched his lips and resourced him supernaturally. Halleluya.

Beloved, in much the same way, when we became born again, we became a kingdom of priests and kings(Rev 1:5, 1Pt 2:9)

But we have unique, distinct and separate mandates to fulfill on God's divine calendar. Listen in you are hid untapped, unused and unreached potentials, giftings and abilities yet to be revealed.

There is more to you than eyes can see, ears have heard and the mind has comprehended. Jeremiah thought he was an ordinary youth who couldnt even speak but he didnt know he carried a prophetic mantle to speak to nations.

Beloved, you are carrying an uncommon mantle on you. There is an assignment God has fore-ordained ONLY YOU to perform.

Your world is waiting in earnest expectation for the release of that book in your spirit man, the eruption of those songs blubbling in your soul, the unimaginable architectural projects, the incredible art works, the wise theological response to issues of homosexuality and gay rights.

Therefore on this 7th perfect day of the perfect month, I pray that God will begin a unusual stirring up in your spirit. May he touch your lips and warm your hearts. May a compelling burden to rise up to influence your world fall on you.

May God activate his unction that propels performance of your mandate in you. Stir up the gift of God that is in you through the laying on of hands.

Like Jeremiah, God has set you this day to confront the issues of our world by the agency of his giftings in you so do not say...ah Lord I am youth but like Jesus, step into the volume of the books to fulfill what is written of you.

YOU HAVE A PROPHETIC MANDATE....SELAH

SONG
I am rising up to a higher calling
New heights in Jesus Im gaining every day
I no longer want, I no longer yearn to stay in the same old way
But higher and higher, step by step
Climbing in your way
Lord in You, my calling to fulfill
