Purpose & Leadership with Dr. Christina Asare

  The Storehouse: God’s Way of Providing for His People When God speaks of the storehouse in Scripture, He is not merely presenting a financial concept; He is revealing a Kingdom pattern. In Malachi 3:10, He declares, “Bring all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house… and prove me now… if I will not open the windows of heaven and pour you out a blessing that there shall not be room enough to receive it.” The storehouse is God’s system of provision. It is the place where resources are gathered so that, in times of need, there is always something available to give. This principle is simple yet profound: without deposits, there can be no withdrawals. Without sowing, there can be no reaping. The storehouse is not about accumulation for self, but provision for others. It reflects the heart of God, ensuring that His house is sustained and His people are cared for.   What Is the Tithe? The word tithe means “a tenth,” the first portion of our incr...

In a world driven by demands, distractions, and the constant pull of “good” ideas,   leaders must rediscover the power of boundaries . Too often, we equate availability with service, and stretch ourselves across every request, every opportunity, and every expectation, until we are no longer effective in the one area God actually called us to lead. It’s not a lack of passion. It’s a lack of focus. Boundaries Are a Sign of Maturity, Not Disobedience In ministry and leadership alike, boundaries are not unspiritual. They are biblical. Jesus Himself modeled this. He often withdrew from the crowds. He didn’t heal everyone in every town. He didn’t attend every event or meet every demand. Instead,  He moved with divine focus. Luke 4:42–43 (KJV) says: “And when it was day, he departed and went into a desert place... and he said unto them, I must preach the kingdom of God to other cities also: for therefore am I sent.” Jesus wasn’t moved by pressure, He was anchored in  purpose . E...

I grew up in a Christian household, and from a young age I always saw the joy and fulfillment my grandmother carried in her role as a wife and mother. She spent her days caring for her children, cooking, praying alongside my grandfather, and creating a home filled with faith. Of course, she had part-time work on the side, but the heart of her life was her home. Watching her, I knew early on that there was honor, dignity, and purpose in family. That image of legacy stayed with me. Deep down, I always knew I wanted to be a wife and have many children. That was the desire God placed in my heart. But my circumstances required a different path in the beginning. I didn’t come from a wealthy family, and opportunities were not simply handed to me. If I wanted to change my life, I had to pursue higher education and trust God to open doors of provision and opportunity. Corporate America became my path, not because I set out to be a “career woman,” but because survival demanded it. Degrees, certi...

Rain has a way of shifting our plans. It slows down the day, makes us adjust our pace, and forces us to see things differently. For many, rain feels like an inconvenience. For leaders, however, it carries lessons that cannot be ignored. Every leader will face rainy seasons, times of uncertainty, disruption, and delay. Projects stall, goals are pushed back, teams feel discouraged, and circumstances test our patience. Yet, much like nature depends on rain to bring growth, leaders must learn to embrace these seasons as necessary for maturity and long-term success. 1. Rain Softens Hard Ground Hard soil cannot absorb seed until it has been broken by rain. In leadership, the same is true of the heart. Challenges soften areas of pride and self-reliance, reminding us that we do not lead by strength alone. Humility, empathy, and compassion grow in seasons of testing. Leaders who allow the rain to shape them emerge more approachable, wiser, and more grounded. 2. Rain Brings Hidden Growth We ofte...

As believers, we know that everything we have ultimately belongs to God. Wealth and resources are not given to us for hoarding but for stewardship. They are meant to serve as tools for blessing others and advancing the Kingdom. Yet with that call comes a tension many of us wrestle with. How do we remain open-handed and generous without becoming the constant “go-to” person for everyone’s needs? The early church experienced this same struggle. In Acts 6, widows were being overlooked in the daily distribution of food. The apostles recognized that the burden of meeting every need could not rest on them alone. Instead, they appointed deacons to oversee the distribution so that help would be given fairly and order would remain in place. This was not a rejection of generosity but an example of wisdom. It was an acknowledgment that even good intentions require structure and boundaries. I have found myself walking through a similar wrestle. My heart longs to give when I see someone in need, yet...

Holiness is not an abstract idea or a lofty theological term, holiness defines the very essence of God’s character and His expectation for His people. In Leviticus 11:44, the Lord commands,   “For I am the Lord your God: ye shall therefore sanctify yourselves, and ye shall be holy; for I am holy.”   Centuries later, Peter reaffirms this call in 1 Peter 1:16:   “Be ye holy; for I am holy.”   The message has not changed. Holiness is not an Old Testament concept; holiness remains the standard for God’s people in every generation. In leadership, holiness is more than a private spiritual practice, it is the public expression of character, integrity, and faithfulness in every decision. Leaders set the temperature of the culture around them, and when holiness marks leadership, the ripple effect reaches teams, organizations, and communities. Holiness as Separation To be holy means to be set apart. A leader who reflects holiness refuses to conform to the shortcuts, compromise...

  The turn of a calendar is more than just a date shift. It’s a reminder that life is lived in seasons. October has arrived, and with it comes an invitation to pause, reflect, and realign. Scripture tells us,  “To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under heaven”  (Ecclesiastes 3:1). Each new month carries its own opportunities, challenges, and promises and October is no different. Looking Back with Gratitude Before stepping forward, it’s important to glance back. September may have held victories, challenges, or even quiet lessons that shaped your perspective. Every setback prepared you for resilience, every answered prayer affirmed God’s faithfulness, and every delay reminded you of His timing. Gratitude turns our past into a testimony rather than a burden. When we thank God for where we’ve been, we strengthen our faith for where we are going. Releasing What No Longer Belongs As this new month unfolds, ask yourself: what needs to be left behind? So...
