AKWAABA


I dream a dream
in which I dream
of peace and happiness,
chatter and laughter.
Of a time of joy
where greetings are hugs
and smiles are our currency.
Where strangers are friends
and friends family.
But I awake
to the echo of silence
and memories of grandeur.
I say AKWAABA
Welcome I say
Welcome to my jungle
where pain is your pay
and happiness a dream,
where teeth are ground
to soothe the ill
and screams abound
like the air we breath.
Where night is day
and day a mirage,
tears quench the thirst
and sleep tames hunger
Welcome to my jungle
Welcome to my home
Welcome to Africa.

THE WONDERFUL NAME OF JESUS CHRIST: OUR GIFT

  Acts 4:12, “Neither is there salvation in any other; for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.” From this insightful verse we notice four key points: 1.       “Neither is there salvation in any other………. whereby we must be saved.” - Salvation 2.       “…. for there is none other name…….” – The Name of Jesus Christ 3.       “…… under heaven….” – The Realms/worlds 4.       “….. given among men…….” – The Power in the Name given to Us The first key point we see in this verse is that salvation of man is only through our Lord and Master Jesus Christ. There is no other way for man to have his soul saved and transformed from a state of death to eternal life. Even before His birth the angel of the Lord told Joseph what Jesus was to do, and that was to save us from our sins: Matthew 1:21 . Jesus himself said in John 14:6 , “I am t...

Vexations

your every action stokes the blaze in my heart you rant on and on but fail to look me in the eye on your podium you ask me to reason whiles you happily disappear like you were out of season i seethe when i gaze upon your cocky smile for we both know you are one evil and vile you erect castles on the bones of the fallen on the carcases of souls left sullen enforcing laws and limitations only to free yourself but enslaving the sleeping minds to your amusement quickly my eyes shrink from such improbables wondering if your system could get any more horrible echoes of your fading footsteps spew out parables heavily laced with shadowed obscenities rudely jerking us out of our induced fantasies only the chosen few climb up your mountain of books realising your words deserve a more blinded look at the summit we discover the truthful lies the deviations keeping us away from the skies We stand before you Mister asking you to shut up for we no more stand eyeless to your traps...

STUBBORNNESS

“Who is a stubborn person?” you might ask. Simply put, a stubborn person is someone who is difficult to handle or someone who firmly sticks to his own ideas or desires no matter what. People are generally stubborn in various aspects of their lives: in their homes, schools, workplaces and relationships. The worst and most severe form of stubbornness is stubbornness towards God. It is one thing not to believe in God and another to be firm in unbelief that you are not even open to anything that might change your mind. It is God’s wish that all people will turn to Him – 2 Peter 3:9 – but recognizes that some (the “stubborn”) never will. Many people in the Bible are described as stubborn, but three in particular stand out: (1) the king of Egypt during the Exodus; (2) the people of Israel throughout their history; and (3) the Pharisees of Jesus’ day. Each of whom, because of their hardened hearts, rejected the constant appeals from God to alter their paths. These people had similar ch...
