| Publisher Description: FOREWARDLife is full of uncertainties and it takes wisdom to rise up to occasions. Some start well but end poorly and vice versa. It is said that the end thereof of our salvation pilgrimage is more important before our Maker than the beginning. At any point in life God gives us the strength to fight scaring battles as He takes care of those above our ability. A child of God is faced with daily decision making both to live and obey his/her Maker or otherwise. There are so many distractions around us that a conscious effort has to be made to remain focused on Christ. The author uses BUT to draw vicissitudes of life to teach some basic but deep verities. An acronym BUT-'Before U Turn' is defined as 'an argument against something; an objection'. For instance, in ''he stumbled but did not fall'' the resultant action did not meet the expected preceding one. If someone stumbles and falls that should have been no news. Alexander Gyimah Agyemang, an Elder of Pentecost International Worship Centre- PIWC, Takoradi, put together BUT based on some important biblical figures for our life application. When Rachel at the verge of dying named her son Benoni-The son of my sorrow, the husband Jacob quickly overruled it and called him Benjamin- The son of my right hand. And it came to pass, as her soul was in departing, (for she died) that she called his name Benoni: but his father called him Benjamin. {Benoni: that is, The son of my sorrow; Benjamin: that is, The son of the right hand} (Gen. 35:18 KJV). The name Rachel gave could have had an effect on the son like Jabez BUT for the intervention of a spiritually sound husband. It is therefore very important not to accept any derogatory name on your person. Names can really have effect on people overtly or covertly. Another interesting area of BUT is its ability to cover all your positives regardless of how many. Mrs. Sarah Abraham was beautiful to behold, elegant, attractive and very fair BUT the main description was Sarah the barren. But Sarai was barren; she had no child. (Gen.11:30 KJV). This was the woman the Canaanites and Egyptians praised to their king, who consequently took her for a wife BUT the label throughout the scriptures was Sarah the barren. It will interest you to note that people sometimes cause troubles for others to suffer whilst they comfortably sit somewhere to enjoy themselves. Jonah's decision to run away from God caused the ship and those on board to suffer greatly. Then the mariners were afraid, and cried every man unto his god.......ABOUT THIS BOOKThis book is designed to expose people to the reasons for numerous prayers with few healings; the many fields but little fruitfulness; the many churches with few changed lives; the many Christians with less souls won unto Jesus; the book addresses the reasons for the double faced lives of many Christians and prescribes solutions; this book will teach you how to use every but to your advantage; this book will teach you to be an overcomer in spite of all the Buts you are known for.
