Samuel Koranteng Pipim: AFRICA, Be out of Your Mind!

Africa’s peculiar problems demand a peculiar solution… And in the context of our peculiarities, foibles, & failures, I declare: Africa, Be Out of Your Mind!  Can we? Yes, we can. Should we? Yes, we should. Will we? Yes, we will! For it is merely a matter of time before this continent of the brave & beautiful, the smart & the industrious, teeming with agile men & women capable of undertaking every human endeavor will continue along time-tested paths & find the chart & compass for new paths yet unknown, leading to the desired end. But only if we first get out of our current minds… & have “the mind of Christ.”—S.K. Pipim,

Samuel Koranteng Pipim GAIN FROM PAIN

Pain is an asset to be invested. Difficulties, trials, and tribulations are often the best resources for future gain. The ancients used an instrument called a “tribulum” (from which we get the word "tribulation") to beat out the ripened grain and separate the wheat from the chaff. No farmer wastes his time and energy to run his “tribulum” over straw, chaff, or weeds, but rather to gain precious grain.  Similarly, our Savior doesn't needlessly put us under the pressure of suffering and pain. No! “We also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; and perseverance, character; and character, hope” (Romans 5:3, 4). Don’t waste your pain, for it is a capital asset that has long-term value.—Samuel Koranteng Pipim
