The silence didn't last long, but it was uncomfortable!
This word is something to think about. What exactly does this response from the Lord mean? Is this what is lacking? Is this why so few in Ghana are concerned? Are they so tied up in themselves that they have failed to do the one thing most needed - raise up a testimony for the Lord which can pass down the generations?
Hostility - that's concerning. But the Christian faith is meeting hostility everywhere. Ghana has lived in a dream. Now the reality is beginning to come home to them - but do they care?
We must just let this develop - if the Lord so wishes. But we must notice the silence. May be the Lord is getting to the end of what he is willing to put up with from Ghana? Ouch - let's hope not - but this is not a game we are playing.It is a spiritual war.
The Ghanaian Christians have not even turned up to fight yet. If they are not careful, when they do arrive ( if ever) the battle will be over and lost. I can hear them now -"This is not not fair. Why can't we have another chance., God will give us another chance." On what basis are they saying this?
What a dangerous game to play with the King of Kings. Ghana- read Numbers. Look at the deaths in the desert. Look - only 3 people arrived at the Jordan, and one of those died without being allowed to cross.

Jim, what makes anyone think that they will not go into captivity as Daniel and his friends did? They were righteous but when their country was invaded by the Babylonians, they went into captivity, nonetheless. The Lord does not change. He is the same yesterday, today and forever. And while his compassion is sure and his loving kindness without fail, he has always shown himself to have a limit of what he will put up with. Long suffering does not mean that he will suffer our stupidity, waywardness, disobedience forever. I pray that Ghanaian Christians will wake up and pray, wake up and see what is happening not only in their country, but in their sub-region, continent and in the rest of the world. We are not isolated one from another. Ghana will not be spared anymore than the rest of the world from the coming darkness. But perhaps if they watch over and care for what has been entrusted to them, the fallout will not be as destructive. These are the end of days, people. Get up and be men of prayer, warriors protecting your spiritual borders!
