POLICE PREDICT SECURITY CHALLENGES AHEAD OF CHRISTMAS

The efforts of the Police administration to resource the service in order to assist them to protect the lives of the people is continuously being thwarted by some unpatriotic citizens.
The Tema Police MTTU has become the latest victim of such unpatriotic act by some people. For the second time in two months, reckless drivers have smashed two brand new patrol vehicles preventing officers from undergoing their normal operations.
District Commander, Superintendent Daniel Dankyi told Adom News that in all those cases the drivers were reckless and caused considerable damage to the cars.
He explains that this will make their operations difficult.
Whiles he was speaking to Adom News, Superintendent Dankyi said their latest car; donated by the Tema Metropolitan assembly had been smashed just this morning by another reckless driver. With Christmas just around the corner, where road users need reminders on road regulation, the police say this will be a major challenge.

IT’S BETTER TO BUILD FOR EX-PRESIDENTS- DR AKOM

The Head of governance and leadership at the Ghana Institute of Management and Public Administration (GIMPA), Dr Kwaku Akom says it will profit the nation if former Presidents residents are built rather than been rented out.
He says it will cost the nation hundreds of cedis if government decides to rent out apartments for ex-presidents.
Dr Kwaku Akom was reacting to a suggestion proposed by President Mills for the immediate scrapping of the current arrangement which makes the state to build houses for Presidents of the country after they have served their tenure.

President Mills suggested that rent allowances be paid to former Presidents to cater for their accommodation, beginning from the end of his tenure.

The President made the proposal to the Professor Ewurama Addy Committee to deal with article 71 office holders.
But Dr Akom thinks that the security of the former President is at risk if their apartments are rented.

Meanwhile, A research fellow at IMANI Ghana, Kofi Bentil says it’s not for the President to make such suggestions but the people of Ghana to make that decision.
He stated that the committee should be left along to do their work.

You Cant Keep A Good Man Down!

Hello and Praise the Lord, !

Have you ever fallen down? Maybe you were learning to ride a bike. Maybe you were running and stumbled. Maybe you were walking in the woods and tripped over a rock or a tree root. Depending on the situation you were in, it probably did not feel very good to you. It was probably unexpected. You may have even gotten some bumps and bruises from the impact of the fall. If others saw you fall, it may have even been quite embarrassing. It probably wasn't something that you would tweet about or announce on Facebook. We have all experienced a fall of some magnitude in our lives. We have all been there. Chances are pretty good too, that in the very near future, we might experience another unexpected fall. It happens. It's life. But we get back up again.

It also happens in our spiritual lives as well. We all make mistakes. Whether you are a Pastor, Sunday School teacher, usher, secretary, musician, mow the church lawn, balance the church's bank account, clean the baptismal, or run sound, we all fall down. It doesn't feel good, either. It's usually an unexpected fall. Sometimes, others see us in this fallen state and it can be embarrassing. It's not something we want everyone to know about. We have all been there, and chances are, if God tarries, we will fall again. It happens. It's life. But, We have to get back up again.

The enemy would love for us to stay down and discouraged. The Devil loves to see God’s children down and discouraged. He loves to see us make mistakes. He cherishes the moments that we fall flat on our faces over traps he has laid in our paths. However, not only does he love to see us fall, his ultimate goal is for us to stay down. When we finally throw in the towel and give it all up. When it seems we have no more strength to fight anymore. When we are ready to stop preaching the Bible and its Truths. The Devil loves this season of our life. However, the Bible says;

"Rejoice not against me oh mine enemy, when I fall I shall arise.." (Micah 7:8)

Not "if" I fall, or maybe, or I might, but WHEN. It's inevitable. It's going to happen. But when it does happen, how are we going to respond?

Rev. David Kent has recently contributed 19 brand new messages to Preachit.org. One of his latest messages is such a wonderful insight into this very subject. His message, entitled "You Can't Keep A Good Man Down," addresses this very subject.

He writes about three different people's perspectives at the cross. It was their darkest hour. One of them was Mary.

"Mary went to see Jesus while it was still dark. That’s when we need to seek Him as well. When you think about it, things could not have been any more discouraging for the disciples. They had followed Jesus for more than 3 years, seen the miracles, heard His teaching, but now He had been tried and crucified. He was dead and had been buried in a tomb. All their hopes and dreams had been dashed. It must have been a very dark time. But Mary went to seek Jesus while it was still so dark, before there was even a glimmer of light or the slightest ray of hope."

It would have been easy for Mary to just give up. It would have been easy for the disciples to deny everything they had lived for and turn their backs on Jesus. After all, they saw Him crucified Him on a cross! But, they remembered a promise that He had made to them! And although He had been crucified, the Devil couldn’t keep this good man down!

In this message, there are 2,257 words. If you are in the "Fall" season of your life right now, you will want to read every one of these words from Rev. David Kent. They will transform your life and your way of thinking and help you to encourage others to get back up again!
