Reverend Michael Yaw Banson, Resident Pastor of Rehoboth Holyfire Revival Ministries International, stressed the importance of giving back to God during a studio discussion on Plan B FM’s social and lifestyle programme, ‘Nyansapɔ Fie.”
Hosted by Nana Asabea, Rev. Banson highlighted the two forms of temptations: lacking and wanting. He cited Abraham’s desire for an heir as an example. The second temptation, gaining from God and giving back to Him, is often the most challenging but ultimately rewarding.
According to Rev. Banson, God judges individuals based on their intentions. Abraham’s willingness to sacrifice his son was considered a completed act by God, earning him the title of “God’s friend.”
Rev. Banson emphasised that becoming God’s friend is crucial to understanding His ways. He noted that God no longer has friends but children, highlighting the importance of building a personal relationship with Him.
In conclusion, Rev. Banson encouraged the public to give back to God, emphasising that the reward is well worth the effort.

– Giving back to God is essential to building a personal relationship with Him.

Rev. Dr. Christiana Otoo Lartey, Senior Pastor of Kingdom Chapel of the Assemblies of God, underscored the significance of effective time management in the workplace.
She exhorted employees to adhere strictly to their schedules, avoiding unnecessary delays that might inconvenience customers, and refrain from engaging in prolonged devotions, recreational activities, or other non-essential tasks.
While acknowledging the importance of fair compensation, Rev. Dr. Lartey cautioned against demanding extra pay for overtime work. Instead, she encouraged workers to maximise their productivity within the allotted time.
“The world operates on a 24-hour clock, which cannot be reversed or fast-forwarded,” she observed. “Let us make the most of the time available to us.”
Rev. Dr. Lartey also highlighted the consequences of poor time management in a religious context.
“Poor time management by preachers, who prioritise delivering lengthy sermons over respecting the time-conscious attendees, often deters people from attending church services,” she noted. By embracing effective time management, individuals can optimise their productivity, achieve a better work-life balance, and ultimately honour their commitments to God and others.
