No Quick Fix : Growing Into Maturity

Foreword It is humbling and a great pleasure to be able to write a foreword to the book, "No Quick Fix." It is an exciting read, not only because of the vitality of some of the subjects covered, but the stillness, simplicity and reconciliation which enables the reader to identify their state in their own spiritual journey. I have read books that look critically and analytically at young believers today, calling for a rethink in many key areas but many have not given answers and indeed reflect a measure of distress and disillusion. In this book Evans Koomson not only paints a critical and brave picture but you will also find dynamic and practical ideas that come out of hard won experiences seeking to grow or mature healthy in the body of Christ. For us to be significant we must go through the pro-cess of our very existence in other to arrive at the pro-duct we need. The Process is a series of actions and steps taken to achieve a particular end which is the result of a process. How you process life will determine the product or produce. You require an attitude toward life or how you process life. A deliberate attitude leads to a determined altitude. For every product on the market, one can at least find two different types of the same product and the difference is predicated on the process the 'raw material' undergo. In my early days in the United Kingdom, I loved going to the supermarket because I saw beautiful and juicy fruits and lots of nice products so appealing to the eyes and good to eat or use. Some years later I discovered from the ingredient information on the product that some are organic and others are inorganic. I also realised later that the organic products were very expensive and the inorganic are very affordable. The organic and inorganic food are differentiated by their farming processes. The organic food is chemical free(free from all synthetic chemicals), GM free, and free from contact with inorganic food while inorganic food encompasses everything that the organic food is not. Are you not surprised of how we have all these fatal diseases erupting in our days difficult to heal? The answer is simply because if you twist the process, rush the process, change the principle there is always an unguaranteed results. By the grace God has given me, I laid a foundation as a wise master builder, and someone else is building on it. But each one must be careful how he builds. For no one can lay a foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ. If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, or straw... " 1 Corinthians 3:10-12 There are foundations and examples you can lay on or learn from. However, our growth in the lord is step by step. When we quick fix our life we quick mess our future. God's purpose is to lead us to depend more and more on His Grace and power, rather than upon our own strengths and abilities as we receive the empowering of the Holy Spirit. In this book Evans describes the process of ongoing change through the power of God at work in us and the strongest challenges he brings to our priorities and attitudes and his hand on approach to some of the big challenges that face us today. It is a must for any of us who is seeking to be relevant to read. It is a privilege to commend No Quick Fix( growing into maturity) by means of this Foreword. The reader will be challenged, delighted and deeply refreshed. Peter Kwesi Sasu Mensah
