Happily Ever Laughter--Thought Nugget

 Those who seldom laugh are among the most dangerous in the world. But the Christmas story assures us that not even such Herods can kill the joy of those who seek the One whose birth has brought “good tidings of great joy” (Luke 2; Matthew 2). So learn to laugh at your circumstances. Laughter is an effective weapon against fear, worry, gloom, depression, resentment, self-pity, and hurt. The hard blows of life will try to bend you out of shape, but laughter will keep you resilient. So whether yours is the quiet laugh of Sarah (Genesis 18:1-15; 21:1-6), the season’s boom of Ho, ho, ho…, or the regular hearty Ha, ha, ha... or He, he, he…, let’s all live happily ever laughter. Merry Xmas!—Samuel Koranteng Pipim

Setbacks & Hindrances - Samuel Koranteng Pipim

God has a plan or purpose for your life. This plan is as sure and detailed as His plan of salvation. His plan for you knows neither delay nor accident. It leaves nothing to chance, hence nothing can really hurt you. Yes, your feelings can be hurt, you can be shocked by the hatred of others, and can even experience terrible grief and loss. But these things that occur in your life are not without God’s permission and they’ll work together for your good. Believe and apply these facts to every circumstance of your life, surrender your plan to His plan, and you’ll develop an indomitable faith that can handle sudden setbacks and seemingly persistent hindrances. Courage! (1 Corinthians 10:13; Psalm 62:8).—Samuel Koranteng-Pipim

Samuel Koranteng Ppim on Africa, Write the Future!

Africa, you may have failed in many areas. You may have fallen several times & may carry the old scars & the new bruises. But keep getting up. Don’t allow your destiny to be determined by either the roadblocks in your path or the deliberate efforts of others to keep you down. Setbacks in our history shouldn’t set us back. They are stepping-stones for us to move upward & forward. Africa, I say to you: Today is the last day of yesterday & the first day of tomorrow. It’s the conclusion to yesterday’s chapter & the introduction to your new book. Why dwell on a written past, when you can write the future today? .—S.K. Pipim, The Transformed Mind, p. 241.

Samuel Koranteng Pipim - TYRANNY OF NUMBERS

Numbers count in today’s world. Numbers define our identity (passport, license, PIN, & ID #s), assess our performance (grades, GPAs, output), and measure our worth or success (bank figures & credit card limits). Even moral standards and truth are gauged by popularity, polls, or statistics. But let’s beware of the tyranny of numbers (Matthew 7:13, 14): “If you lower the standard in order to secure popularity & an increase of numbers, & then make this increase a cause of rejoicing, you show great blindness. If numbers were evidence of success, Satan might claim the pre-eminence; for, in this world, his followers are largely in the majority” (E.G. White). Numbers count, but weight counts more.—Samuel Koranteng Pipim.

When Doors Are Closed by Samuel Pipim

Despite our best intentions and efforts, doors of opportunity sometimes shut in our faces: Prospects are blocked, relationships are terminated, & scholarships, school admissions, job offers, and visa requests are denied.  It’s Divine Providence & timing that close certain doors in order to re-direct us to new & welcoming ones. Thus, Paul and his team “were forbidden by the Holy Spirit to preach the word in Asia. … They tried to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit did not permit them.So passing by Mysia they came down to Troas. And a vision appeared to Paul in the night. A man of Macedonia stood and pleaded with him saying, ‘Come over to Macedonia and help us’…” (Acts 16:6-10). Don’t despair, but catch the vision: With every closed door, another beckons us to enter!—Samuel Koranteng-Pipim

THROUGH THE VALLEY - Samuel Koranteng Pipim

                                                  Samuel Koranteng Pipim

Of the many valleys in life, death is the deepest & most dreadful. One out of every one person will walk through this lonesome valley. David confirms & offers hope: “Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil, for You are with me” (Ps 23:4 NASB). Death is an “even though” reality, not an “if or maybe” event. Green pastures DO turn into gray deserted valleys. But the God who is with us in our valleys of death will also be with us during our other tragedies of life. In the lion’s den, we’ll be safe. In the fiery furnace, we won’t be burned. In the deep waters, we shall not drown. And in life’s journey, we shall walk THROUGH the valley. Emmanuel!—Samuel Koranteng Pipim.

Time To Wake Up

Feeling sorry for ourselves is a waste of valuable time and a nauseating nuisance. We might have had no control over what people did to us or the adversities we’ve suffered in life, but we do have total control over our responses to them. We’re miserable because we’re discontent with what we have or who we are. We’re resentful because we’ve chosen to be held hostage by negative emotions and bad attitudes. We crave attention because we really think the world owes us something. We feel helpless because we don’t believe in God’s promises and power. This plain truth can set us free (cf. John 8:32). It’s time to wake up from the stupor of self-pity and start taking ownership of our actions and destiny.—Samuel Koranteng Pipim

AFRICAN MUSIC by Samuel Korantneg Pipim

Noise pollution sometimes masquerades as edifying music. Is this a special contribution of Christians to the society? At no point in time has there been such a prevalence of assault of the eardrums as now exists in most African countries today. One Sunday morning, when my son was little, I took him with me to a particular church where I had been invited to speak. In response to the relentless assault of the “praise music,” he drew closer to me, and with tears in his voice he whispered: “Daddy, my ear hurts & my head aches.” So much for the contribution of Christians to society—hurting ears and aching heads!

Hope Through the Dark by Samuel Pipim

You think you’re finished and that all hope is lost? Take courage… There may be dark clouds, but your sun has not set. God knows how to lift us up, out of our predicaments. He knows how to fix our broken worlds: broken hearts, broken hopes, broken homes, broken health, and broken lives. There is not a problem that Christ cannot fix. He brings beauty out of ugly situations. New growth out of dead ashes. Sweet-smelling life out of foul-smelling rottenness. After Failure empties your cup, God’s grace can fill it to its brim again. Are you discouraged? Don't give up!

Hope through the Dark is an inspirational book that seeks to encourage those who are dealing with the bitter pain of personal failure, hurt inflicted by others, or both. It shows how to turn those bitter lemons into sweet lemonades of life. Explaining why he employs short inspirational nuggets to convey his message of hope, the author writes:

Without the dark, we cannot clearly see the stars. Similarly, the dark moments of adversity often reveal some of life’s most valuable gifts or blessings. … The nuggets in this book capture some of the precious lessons I learned during my journey through the gloomy night of failure, betrayal, loneliness, and ill-treatment. ... The inspirational thoughts are presented in a simple nugget style, so that those in need of encouragement and hope would be quickly soothed to hold on and move on in their own journey through the dark.

Grounded in the Word of God, Hope through the Dark is for those who have felt the sharp, stinging blows of doubts and discouragement on account of the failure or hurt they have experienced.

“The journey would not be easy. But through God’s grace and mercy, you can have hope through the dark. And you can confidently say, ‘It is well—even in the well’.”

SAMUELKORANTENG PIPIM, PhD. is a US-based Ghanaian author, inspirational speaker, leadership trainer, and an advocate for youth empowerment. He currently directs two Centers for Leadership Development known as EAGLES OnlineEmpowerment & Advisory Group.

Samuel Pipim EAGLESonline: Centers of Leadership Development

EAGLESonline is an acronym for Empowerment and Advisory Group for leadership, excellence and service. It is an organization that was started by Dr. Samuel Pipim, a Ghanaian born author and speaker. This is an organization that aims to bring about a positive change in the lives of people that it comes in contact with by interpreting the infallible, two-thousand year old biblical verses that are still applicable to modern day lives. It teaches that leadership is not about bullying others or feeding on the misfortunes of others to feel powerful, rather it begins by being humble and putting the interest of others ahead of yours.

On EAGLESonline.org Dr. Samuel Pipim puts up everyday teachings, with references from the Bible, as weekly nuggets to read and introspect upon. They have events like retreats and seminars at various places around the world.  They organize motivational talks for businesses and corportions, transformational and revival presentations for churches, mentorship programs for young professional groups and leadership training and innovative solutions for all. 

EAGLESonline has two centers of leadership development: the EAGLES Center and the ANANSE Center. The former was set up to help people deal with the complexities of the modern day life by being optimistic. The latter, the ANANSE center, carries out similar work in Africa, while being sensitive to the special needs of the people of this area. Dr. Samuel Pipim was himself born and raised in Ghana so he understands the special needs of the people of this region. Ananse actually stands for “spider” in Ghanaian and is a popular creature in Ghanaian folklore. The ANANSE center uses this as a tool to focus on insights of innovative thinking.

All these training programs are achieved through and centered on Biblical principles. EAGLESonline soars on lending a helping hand to one and all without discriminating on any basis. Check out EAGLESonline.org and drpipim.org to know more.
