Live holy lives, keep faith in God… Christians told
The President of the Leaders Digest, Dr Spencer Duncan has said that many profess Christians are Bible carrier believers but not true Christians who pray and believe in the word of God.
Explaining, he said “the bible carriers always carry the Holy Book on their heads to portray that they know the bible and are seriously in tune with God but are just empty barrels who cannot quote a scripture and show no respect to the Almighty God.”
“Today, we do not have many Christians and even Men of God in the Christendom who can say ‘it is written’ just as Jesus Christ said to Satan. Some just paraphrase the scripture to distort the content, pollute and confuse people and even add things God has not said” he said.
He said the situation had churned out many false teachers, pastors, apostles and especially Prophets taking advantage of the professed Christian who had also failed to study the bible to know its content.
Dr Duncan said this when he preached on the topic “Commanding the Supernatural” at the Mega Kharis International Ministries at Adentan in Accra recently.
He noted that the Bible had given power and authority to man to command things to happen which did not come automatically but through hard work and by having faith in God.
He said it was the grace of God that controlled the supernatural world and it was the spirit-filled believer who had the ability to understand what went on in the spiritual realm.
He said that prayer was the most powerful tool, force or weapon on earth where a believer could be in one place and impact situations around the world by simply asking God to intervene.
He advised members of the church to take time and study the bible to enable them pray effectively, live holy lives for the Holy Spirit to fill them, have faith in God and above all walk in love and humility.
To the men of God, he said it was not the level of shouting that showed their level of anointing but rather the grace of God and their level of understanding the word of God.

The Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA) has announced that it will begin a special revenue mobilisation exercise on Monday, November 10, 2025, to recover all monies owed to the Assembly for the 2025 fiscal year.
According to the AMA, the exercise aims to boost revenue generation and improve service delivery across the city.
it sais a Revenue Mobilisation Task Force will visit businesses, properties, and outdoor advertising locations to reconcile bills and collect outstanding payments.
The Assembly advised all ratepayers to make available valid receipts of payment for Business Operating Permits (BOPs), Property Rates, Outdoor Advertising Fees, and Rents.
The Assembly added that those who may not be present during the exercise are encouraged to leave their receipts with caretakers to avoid penalties, as no excuses will be accepted from defaulters or their agents.
The assembly noted that the task force will also remove all unauthorised billboards, and companies found to have erected such structures without permits will be surcharged with the cost of removal.
The AMA urged all businesses and property owners to cooperate with the exercise, noting that the funds collected will help the Assembly continue to provide essential services such as sanitation, infrastructure development, and public safety.

Former Greater Accra Regional Minister, Daniel Nii Kwartei Titus Glover, has urged President John Dramani Mahama to review his approach to governance, describing it as “not the best.”
He said the recent bail conditions imposed on some former government officials are unfair and appear to be punitive rather than just.
Mr. Glover made these comments during an interview on Metro TV.
He explained that bail is supposed to allow an accused person to appear before the court while the case is being tried, and not to serve as a form of punishment.
“If you want me to appear regularly before the police and the court, you can put a condition for me, but it should not be punitive. You can take my passport, ask me to report, or inspect my property. But where you make the bail so high that the person cannot even meet it, that becomes punishment,” he said.
He noted that some of the accused persons, including former government officials such as “my brother Assibey and my sister Gifty,” are still in custody because they have not been able to meet their bail requirements.
“What is the use of it? You keep them in incarceration, and they cannot have their day in court. Then you slap them with high bail conditions, making it difficult for them to secure their release. So what kind of justice are we talking about?,” he questioned.
Mr. Glover further criticized what he described as prejudicial comments made against accused persons before their cases are even heard in court, adding that it undermines justice.
He said the government, through agencies like the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO), the police, and the Office of the Special Prosecutor, should ensure fairness and transparency in handling such cases.
He urged President Mahama to pay attention to these developments, warning that such practices affect the country’s image and governance.
