Samuel Pipim | Center for Leadership Development

Dr. Samuel Pipim is an effective speaker who has addressed diverse groups of youths, students and young professionals, business executives, healthcare professionals, legislatures and institutions, among others. A prolific writer, he has already authored seventeen books and is likely to write more. Not one to quietly allow things to slide through the cracks, he is known to speak boldly and freely on issues that make many squirm. He has over the years spoken extensively and written copiously about issues of Church-growth style, divorce and remarriage, styles of worship, homosexuality, none of which has endeared him to many in favor of emerging trends and liberalized relaxations of orthodoxy in the Christian church. As a result, his works have been subject to heavy criticisms, some of which are subjective and personal in nature, but a reality that fuels his naturally-inquisitive mind and drives him to further research.

In May 2011, Dr. Samuel Koranteng Pipim resigned from his primary work as Director of CAMPUS, after publicly announcing a moral failure while on an overseas trip. Within a few weeks, he resigned from his other public assignments and withdrew from public engagements to deal with the fallouts from his public announcement of his failure and resignations, a period he refers to as his “night.” It was during this nighttime that he started sharing short, inspirational messages with some of his online friends who were discouraged about his situation. These ‘Songs in the Night’ have today become “Weekly Thought Nuggets” that details his own experiences and challenges, inspires, and encourages others.

In response to his public resignation, surrender of ministerial credentials, and submission to disfellowship by his local church, many questions have been raised by those genuinely desirous to know the truth, and those who see Dr. Pipim’s spiritual failure as an occasion to get even. His communications on the issue have been limited to providing basic information with careful regard for privacy and confidentiality of other parties involved. Some of his communications regarding his resignation can be found on his web site: http://drpipim.org/resignation.html.

Out of Christian decency he tried to keep identities and details of those involved confidential to prevent future compromise of their lives. But it was not the case with those who capitalized on his fall to push forward their own personal, ideological, financial, political, racist, and other agendas. With complete disregard for ethics and professionalism, Christian principles and basic tenets of justice, many individuals and groups recklessly confidential information they got or fabricated with no regard for names, locations, identity or other private circumstances of others, including those they claimed to be helping. Going further, some of these people continue to engage in unethical and indecent harassment of organizations, groups, and individuals that are connected to him, stalking some for weeks and months on end and virtually harassing them to dissociate from him. Many web pages and posts have been used to promote the defamatory responses by these individuals and groups.

Dr. Samuel Pipim’s response to all the furor is that he the Lord has graciously given him another chance to put his God-given talents, gifts, successes, and failures, and will not expend this time to focus on those whose wish is to completely remove him from any future service, including even his own personal activities. He and his family are grateful for those who encouraged and supported them in his nighttime even as they made it clear that they did not condone his failure. Without downplaying his moral failure, he reminds those who condemn him that an extensive media trial based on one side of a story does not satisfy requirements for justice by either God or man. He accepts his moral failure but discountenances allegations of rape, and homosexuality as a mischievous and malicious twist of a moral failure on his part by those who seek for him to vanish, or be tarnished, and forever banished.

Success Has No Choice


“We learn almost nothing in victory; but we learn much in defeat,” a football coach once said. I agree. For, when we take time to learn from our mistakes, success has no choice but to fall flat at the feet of failure. Let’s give success no choice. How? graciously accept your defeat; humbly admit your failures; courteously offer no excuses for your faults; willingly accept the consequences of your mistakes; ardently learn from your missteps; and fully surrender your hopes to God’s will. Success wins by falling at the feet of failure. - Samuel Koranteng Pipim

HAPPILY EVER LAUGHTER

Those who seldom laugh are among the most dangerous in the world. But the Christmas story assures us that not even such Herods can kill the joy of those who seek the One whose birth has brought “good tidings of great joy” (Luke 2; Matthew 2). So learn to laugh at your circumstances. Laughter is an effective weapon against fear, worry, gloom, depression, resentment, self-pity, and hurt. The hard blows of life will try to bend you out of shape, but laughter will keep you resilient. So whether yours is the quiet laugh of Sarah (Genesis 18:1-15; 21:1-6), the season’s boom of Ho, ho, ho…, or the regular hearty Ha, ha, ha... or He, he, he…, let’s all live happily ever laughter. Merry Xmas!—Samuel Koranteng Pipim

Samuel Koranteng Pipim - An Eagle Is An Eagle

“A weed is a plant whose virtues have not been discovered” (Ralph Waldo Emerson). Those who’re quick to dismiss you on account of your past or present circumstances will later discover your worth. Oprah Winfrey was fired from her TV reporter’s job and advised: “You’re not fit for TV.” Steve Jobs was forced out of the Apple company he founded, but returned 15 years later to rescue it from near bankruptcy. Today’s defeats are the feats of tomorrow. Rejected now? You’re still God’s eagle. A wounded eagle is still an EAGLE, and not a chicken or a turkey! Through God’s grace and mercy wounded eagles can heal to soar again (Isaiah 40:31; Proverbs 24:16; Micah 7:8-10, 18-20). An eagle is an eagle. You!—Samuel Koranteng-Pipim

“The threatening eyes of the crocodilian shouldn’t stop the thirsty frog from drinking from the pool,” states Associate in Nursing African saw. Sound counsel!

Samuel Koranteng Pipim: AFRICA, Break Free!


For many people, their past experiences of failure are like the strings around the elephant’s legs. They allow their mistakes, failures, sin, or tragedy that they once suffered (or are even now suffering) to hold them captive. …We must learn from our mistakes & failures. But we must not dwell upon them. We must not allow the past strings of failure to hold us down. Mind liberation means that we break free & keep moving on. … We must keep getting up. Keep trying. Never give up. Keep pressing on. Break the chains. This is what mind liberation is all about. Total freedom in Christ is what He’s called us to experience.—S.K. Pipim.

Samuel Koranteng Pipim - HE OPENS DOORS

A Ugandan proverb says, “When God decides to bless a person, even his bull produces young ones.” Jesus said it best: “See, I have set before you an open door, and no one can shut it” (Revelation 3:7). Not even our enemies and frenemies can determine our fate or prospects. Not their envy, hatred, plots, and verdicts. It’s not our wisdom or strength that overturns the odds against us. Nor our abilities, position, connections, or looks that secure opportunities. And it’s not our goodness that qualifies us for salvation or ministry. Rather, it’s “He who has the key of David, He who opens and no one shuts, and shuts and no one opens” (v. 8). Christ will open your shut doors, if you’ll open your heart’s door to Him (v. 20).—Samuel Koranteng Pipim

Millennium and the End of Sin: From Samuel Pipim's Website

The millennium is the thousand-year reign of Christ with His saints in heaven between the first and second resurrections. During this time the wicked dead will be judged; the earth will be utterly desolate, without living human inhabitants, but occupied by Satan and his angels. At its close Christ with His saints and the Holy City will descend from heaven to earth.





The unrighteous dead will then be resurrected, and with Satan and his angels will surround the city; but fire from God will consume them and cleanse the earth. The universe will thus be freed of sin and sinners forever. (Rev. 20; 1 Cor. 6:2, 3; Jer. 4:23-26; Rev. 21:1-5; Mal. 4:1; Eze. 28:18, 19.)

Growing Patience Samuel Pipim


We must possess both passive and active patience—i.e., longsuffering (bearing long with others) and endurance (calmly dealing with life’s adversities). You can tell God is growing you in patience when you run into many anguishing experiences; when the things or people you depend on suddenly fail you; when your life seems to be in detours; when prolonged illness and afflictions plague you; when your situation goes from bad to worse; and when you cry out to God for help and He doesn’t seem to care. Patience is like a beautiful diamond; it emerges after the rock of faith is subjected to trials’ intense heat and pressure (Colossians 1:11; 2 Timothy 3:10; Romans 5:3, 4; James 1:2-4).—Samuel Koranteng-Pipim (From his Patience in the Midst of Trials and Afflictions).

THROUGH THE VALLEY - Samuel Koranteng Pipim


Of the many valleys in life, death is the deepest & most dreadful. One out of every one person will walk through this lonesome valley. David confirms & offers hope: “Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil, for You are with me” (Ps 23:4 NASB). Death is an “even though” reality, not an “if or maybe” event. Green pastures DO turn into gray deserted valleys. But the God who is with us in our valleys of death will also be with us during our other tragedies of life. In the lion’s den, we’ll be safe. In the fiery furnace, we won’t be burned. In the deep waters, we shall not drown. And in life’s journey, we shall walk THROUGH the valley. Emmanuel!—Samuel Koranteng-Pipim.

Samuel Koranteng Pipim - POISON OF THE SOUL


Bitterness or resentment is like acid. It damages both the container in which it’s stored and the vessel on which it’s poured. But bitterness hurts us more than the person we resent. Chances are, our adversary has moved on with life while we remain stuck in our grudge and animosity. Cherishing bitterness is plain stupidity. Worse, it’s “poison” (Acts 8:23), which is why Mandela said, “Resentment is like drinking poison and waiting for it to kill your enemy.” The root of bitterness isn’t so much the hurt or bad experiences we’ve suffered, but our unforgiving spirit, pride, and unconvertedness (Ephesians 4:31, 32; Matthew 18:21-35; Hebrews 12:15). Are you poisoned by bitterness? Detox now! Forgive and live!—Samuel Koranteng-Pipim

Samuel Pipim : Unkind Criticism


“Criticism is something we can avoid easily by saying nothing, doing nothing, and being nothing” (Aristotle). Let our responses display maturity and educate others. Thus, English evangelist, George Whitefield (1714-1770) once responded to a very critical letter accusing him of some wrong: “I thank you heartily for your letter. As for what you and my other enemies are saying against me, I know worse things about myself than you will ever say about me. With love in Christ, George Whitefield.” Unkind criticism is the hobby of fools, the boast of the arrogant, the exploit of the jealous, and the spiritual gift of hypocrites. Learn from criticism if it’s justified; ignore it if untrue, unfair, or ignorant; and, if needed, respond to it with Christian grace (Proverbs 15:1, 2).—Samuel Koranteng-Pipim

Tears At Christmas by Samuel Pipim

The Christmas story is not a sanitized account of life. It’s not some sentimental jollity of jingle bells, Xmas plays, and Santa Claus gifts, supposedly to remember Christ’s birth. Besides “peace on earth and goodwill towards men” (Luke 2), there’s also “lamentation, weeping, and great mourning” because of envy, secret plotting, and massacre of the innocent to advance personal and political ambition (Matthew 2:1-18). As at that first Advent, our world today is also full of tears at Christmas time. These tears can’t be wiped away by simply going for shopping, dining, or watching sentimental Xmas movies. Those for whom “Merry Xmas” has become “Teary Xmas” shouldn’t despair. For, He whose Childhood and life were marked by many tears identifies with all our sorrows and griefs. He’ll come again to end all tears.— Samuel Koranteng Pipim

Samuel Pipim - African Eagles


Samuel PIpim has visited worldwide and spoken in many chruch events, religious programs. Samuel Koranteng Pipim is the main director of Eaglesonline network. Eaglesonline is the acronym of EAGLES OnlineEmpowerment & Advisory Group who helps people to leave their failure behind and keep on working with positive mentality.

Excellence is distinction. Mediocrity is extinction. Mediocrity is content with its condition and accomplishments. It settles for good when better is available.But excellence betters its best. Choose to be distinct, not extinct. That’s the choice Africa has to make.Africans must move from the chicken mind-set to an eagle mind-set, from mediocrity to excellence. In the famous words of Dr. J. E. K. Aggrey (1875–1927): “My people of Africa, we were created in the image of God … We are eagles. Stretch forth your wings and fly! Don’t be content with the food of chickens.” This is what excellence calls for. Soar like eagles.

Samuel Pipim - Who Is A True African?



The mark of a real African is not the geographical location, the color of the skin, 
ability to wear some kentecloths or some other piece of traditional clothing. Being 
a true African is not about an ability to cook and eat a particular dish, having a 
particular braid of hair, dance to a musical rhythm, have a funny-sounding name, 
or perform some athletic feats. Rather, the hallmark of true Africans is (or ought to 
be) their ability to think—the ability to think differently and act differently. This 
ability to think and act differently is the hallmark of a transformed mind, and must 
define what it means to be an African.


Samuel Pipim is the director of EAGLESOnline Empowerment & AdvisoryGroup 
which helps the people struggling with their failures in life. Samuel Koranteng 
Pipim has spoken in many events, youth programs, church programs. User can 
get every resource from his Eaglesonline website under the resources page.

Samuel Pipim: THE TABLES CAN TURN

Those of us who are privileged, successful, in power, or who feel righteous must be careful how we treat others. An unknown sage cautions: “When a bird is alive, it eats ants. But when the bird is dead, ants eat the bird. One tree makes a million matchsticks. But only one matchstick is needed to burn a million trees. Circumstances can change at any time. So don’t devalue or hurt anyone in life.” Because tables can turn, the apostle Paul counsels: “Let him who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall….Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. For if anyone thinks himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself”: Samuel Pipim
