REINHARD BONNKE: BIOGRAPHY

Image
EVANGELIST REINHARD BONNKE (1940 — 2019) -LEGACY OF HARVEST Evangelist Reinhard Bonnke is principally known for his Great Gospel Crusades throughout the Continent of Africa. The son of a pastor, Reinhard gave his life to the Lord at age nine, and heard the call to the African mission field before he was even a teenager. After attending Bible College in Wales, and his ordination in Germany he pastored a church and then went on to start missionary work in Africa. It was there, in the small mountain kingdom of Lesotho, that God placed upon his heart the vision of ‘the continent of Africa, being washed in the precious Blood of Jesus’ — an entire continent, from Cape Town to Cairo and from Dakar to Djibouti that needed to be reached and to hear the proclamation of the sign-following Gospel. Evangelist Bonnke began holding meetings in a tent that accommodated just 800 people, but, as attendance steadily increased, larger and larger tents had to be purchased, until finally, in...

How to Be Productive, According to Ancient Philosophy

What Socrates, Plato, and Confucius understood about time. Darius Foroux Improving productivity has been a pursuit of the modern human being from the start of civilization. Somehow, we believe that productivity is something that became important after the industrial revolution. We assume that, because we live busy lives, we need to optimize our time—especially in the 21st century. That’s not true. Productivity has been a topic of discussion ever since ancient eastern and western philosophy started. It’s a universal theme. I believe it’s in our nature to make better use of our time. Because that’s what productivity means. On a deeper level, we all realize we have limited time. You and I both know that we’re not getting younger. Time is ticking. It stops for no one. We need to use it. Etcetera, etcetera—we get the idea. And yet, without a clear productivity strategy, we squander our time like we have a limitless supply. We watch endless hours of mind-numbing TV shows and ...

The Point of Grace

There is a reference point, where judgement for sin has kissed mercy and righteousness swallowed up the failures of sin. Where people are unlocked to operate in the fullness of their potentials, live in righteousness and reveal the glory for which they are created, move in holiness and exist as extension of the fragrance of God’s goodness, that is the point of grace. There is a the point, where you receive the gift of grace and living is no longer by struggle but by the effortless provisions of grace, where you let God pass your character and habits through the factory of grace and he delivers to you a brand-new personality not fashioned after the failures of Adam but the likeness of Christ. That is the point of grace. That is where God takes your sin and give you his salvation, where you give up your dirty rags and you are clothed with the ornament of grace and righteousness. He takes your worst and give his best  It is the point of grace when the cross of Jesu...

Questioning the norm

Why do we run a capitalist society but our schools train students for four years or more but not to discover and own their businesses, but to write nice CV and roam the street looking for who to employ them? Why is it that, the richest 1% that owns half of the world’s wealth are business owners but not their employee? Why is that, Bill Gate the founder of Microsoft, Mark Zuckerberg the founder of Facebook and Steve Jobs the founder of Apple drop out of school to take care of their businesses and our schools continue to overrate and hype higher education making you feel that your entire success in life depends on the number of degrees you bagged, little wonder Kaduna state had to employ PhD holder to teach in the primary school to validate what Farrah Gray said “Build your own dreams, or someone else will hire you to build theirs”. I discovered that in life everybody has a business and the kind of impact you make on your generation depend on your type of business, and those ...
