Acknowledgements
I am indebted to my colleagues and co-warriors of the ICBIPA Group for the inspiration and encouragement to put some of the thoughts I have bounced off them during meetings into a book for the benefit of readers worldwide. In addition, they were kind enough to grant me permission to publish as an appendix the report of our pilgrimage to Israel unedited. Ambassador Abaidoo has been particularly gracious to write a preface to the book in addition to painstakingly proofreading the manuscript. I cannot thank her enough.
To Apostle Dr. Ami-Narh, I say ‘Motsumio’ for taking time off his extremely busy schedule, as leader of one of the largest Christian denominations in Ghana, to write the Foreword to this book. Last but by no means the least, my appreciation goes to my brother, Dr. Mawuli Coffie, who helped with the initial formatting of the entire manuscript.
Foreword
GOD HAS IT ALL COVERED:THE END FROM THE BEGINNING, is a book that will give great calm and peace to the true Christian heart and yet not create a state of resigned indifference and irresponsible negligence. It is true that God has it all covered.
The Apostle James said it succinctly in Acts 15:18, “ Known unto God are all his works from the beginning of the world.” The Omniscient God will not leave the running of His creation to chance and neither will the Omnipotent God lose in His own initiated cause.
The fact that God has given man his free will does not void the Sovereign power of God. The Christian mystic A. W. Tozer, gave a beautiful picture of such a situation. He used a big ship with many passengers sailing towards a predetermined destination. The individual passengers have the freedom to make all the choices on the ship, while it continues sailing slowly but surely toward the sovereignly determined destination. Like the imperceptible movements of the earth on which we live, so is Scripture being fulfilled in our generation without the realization of the majority.
In this book, Apostle Dr. Alabo calls our attention to the fact that we are not neutral players in the activities of this life. Through the lenses of scripture and current happenings, he discusses the diagnosis and treatment for the debilitating diseases affecting the Church of today. Though the book focuses mainly on the Church as a body, it also has many essential gems for victorious Christian living.
One would find in these pages the reason for the powerless state of the average Christian and the essential missing link for the recovery of the Church.
Dr. Alabo throws light on the fact that what is happening in this age is a fulfillment of prophecy, and thereby admonishes that we should not resign ourselves to fate but rather rise in faith for the spiritual restoration of the Church back to winning ways. He brings to the fore the wonderful promise that grace will much more abound wherever sin abounds.
I am excited by Dr. Alabo’s firm belief in the imminent revival of the Church. The enemy has come in like a flood so the Spirit of the Lord is about to lift up a standard against him. He therefore encourages us to arise and position ourselves for this end-time revival and harvest.
How one sees life will determine how one lives it, and how one lives it will also determine what one gets out of it. It is therefore my prayer that those who read this book would be aided to make the best of their individual lives and thereby contribute to the recovery of the Church in general.
The statement below fired me to read further and I hope it does the same for you.
“Unless and until the Church yields pre-eminence to Him in total obedience, the path will remain hazardous, the results pitiable and cycles of reversals (excitements and disappointments) inevitable”
Apostle Dr. Aaron Ami-Narh
President, Apostolic Church of Ghana
Preface
While proofreading this book: “God has it all covered: The End from the Beginning”, I was struck and stunned by the amazing blend and panorama of historical facts, foundational biblical doctrinal truths, and practical life experiences, producing an ever-increasing appetite to discover what lay in the subsequent lines and pages of this loaded pot-pourri of excellence.
The more I read, the more I wanted to read and wished I was just allowed to enjoy this masterpiece, instead of the assignment of proofreading to refine a beautifully crafted piece of work.
Having the unfair advantage of knowing the author, Ambassador Dr. Kodzo Alabo closely spiritually, professionally and socially for about three and a half decades and having travelled our journeys on these paths together, not only as professional colleagues who joined the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ghana on the same day but as family friends and Kingdom ministry associates, I feel somehow quite well-placed to venture into making the following assertion: that a careful consideration of the way Ambassador Dr Kodzo Alabo’s life seems to have been framed by the Lord and the pathways through which his life trajectory has been channelled, from leftist secular traditions through mixed religious sprinklings from his parentage, to disruptive Kingdom manifestations, seems to be making a certain statement in this work.
Indeed, it appears in an interesting sense, to mirror the major thought-provoking prognosis he advances in the work that all the threads which were woven into the background of Apostle Paul, including his ancestry, lineage, upbringing, education, socialization, his romance with various languages and cultures, all contributed to preparing the greatest of Apostles for his heavenly calling, which cut across various spectra. It is not surprising, therefore, that the foremost of Apostles ended up writing a huge chunk of the New Testament, having adequately embraced the heavy mantle prepared for him to take the gospel fearlessly to the gentile world. This was an unprecedented mission and indeed, a preposterous idea at the time, which had hitherto not crossed the minds of the very religious elitist Jewish leadership, who felt they had a monopoly to a relationship with God and its offshoots.
I could not wait to discover in the pages of this exciting and elegantly constructed piece, the elements which came into play in the way this leap into the new era was rolled out, the preparation which was needed to equip the chief protagonist, the Apostle Paul and how that holds true for each and every one of us who chooses to be used as instruments for the glory of the Lord and for the advancement of His Kingdom.
The great Apostle’s toolbox, skilfully and adequately put together by the Hand of God through his thorough preparation, enabled him to efficiently and effectively address very delicate religious, cultural, traditional as well as governance issues erupting from the clash of belief systems and civilisations, germane to the birthing of a new dispensation.
These are questions which will certainly engage the reader’s thoughts as he or she races through this rich, erudite, and exciting book.
Is this pattern a lesson to us children of God, that none of our past or ongoing experiences is in vain and that indeed, they all add to the totality of the rolling out of the original plan and purpose of God for our lives, ordained before the foundation of the world?
This piece of work, will, hopefully, lead to a clearer understanding of the purpose of God for our lives as individuals and a call to engage with that purpose more forcefully, understanding also clearly that we have been adeq
