I was born in Winneba, a small town in southern Ghana that serves as a fishing port. Winneba is located roughly 90 miles east of Cape Coast, the former Ghanaian capital. Before moving to the UK, I completed my elementary and senior secondary schooling there.
Many years ago, when I was in my teens, the Lord called me to work in His vineyard; nevertheless, the sending forth took place a few years later. I am called to assist and impart more biblical knowledge to the Body of Christ. And I try to do this through any avenue the Lord makes. I began with journals and articles before writing books.
Life is powered by passion. It makes the seemingly impossible feasible. In actuality, ministry will become tedious, routine, dull, and boring if you lack passion in your life. I would even go so far as to suggest that you are not alive if you lack passion; you are only existing. God created you to serve Him and His people with vitality and to lead a passionate life. With brightness. With vitality. With excitement. He wants this to be a part of your life. This passion is what drives me to win more souls to the Kingdom. I love to share the Word of God with as many people as I meet because that is what life is about: to know your Creator and to make Him known.
I am contentedly married and have a daughter. My spouse and the family the Lord has given me are loved and treasured. By working together, we shall spread the love of Jesus to a large number of people and depopulate the reign of darkness.

My Christian Journey:
When I was about 13 years old, I devoted my life to Jesus. Other than the fact that I occasionally heard a voice in my head, nothing about my teenage Christian walk was out of the ordinary. The Voice would warn me not to do things that I said or did incorrectly. For instance, the Voice would whisper, “That is not pleasant,” if I became angry and shouted a profanity. I would immediately justify my actions, and the Voice would cease.
In one instance, the Voice spoke to me clearly about something I intended to do, and I said, “Just go away, I will do it anyway.” I can’t recall the exact scenario, but the Voice has been silent ever since. Years later, I realised that was the Holy Spirit. How I wish I hadn’t done that! After many years, God has given me the delight of His Voice again because He is gracious.
My Calling:
How do you determine your life’s purpose and calling? God’s will is not hidden from you. You cannot know what He wants for your life without Him. To put it another way, He reveals them to you more and more as you follow Him. Your pastor can advise you on what God wants you to do, but it is not their responsibility to tell you what your calling is. God will reveal things to you through dreams, prophecies, or impressions if you seek Him with all of your heart. Fellowship with other Christians; don’t do things on your own. As you join the Christian community, you will begin to identify your passions in the things of God. For example, if you are called to sing, be a missionary, write or preach, you will intuitively know which comes with a greater passion and the more you fellowship, the more it will become clear. Finding your calling is not the same as being sent forth; the two are distinct. Before sending you to His vineyard, God calls you to spend some time training and developing you. The most common mistake made by young Christians is to simply follow their calling after they have discovered it. It’s probably going to fail. God is the one who will send you out when He sees fit if He has called you. While attending theology school is beneficial, graduation does not guarantee a career in ministry. Everything must be started by the Voice, and you must follow Him.
And there’s the devil. He will make every effort to keep you from achieving your goals. I have fought battles. To prevent me from sharing the gospel, Satan pursued me, hampered me, and essentially “caged” me. He did his best, but God intervenes to reaffirm His covenant commitments with us when we are oppressed, dejected, and disheartened.
I served as a Sunday School teacher for about eight years, but the Lord wants me to catch more fish. He wants me to serve beyond the scope of my local church. “For He says, in the time of favour (of an assured welcome) I have listened to and heeded your call, and I have helped you on the day of deliverance (the day of salvation). Behold, now is truly the time for a gracious welcome and acceptance [of you from God]; behold, now is the day of salvation!”
May the Lord bless and keep you; the Lord make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you.
