A story and a quote keeps recurring to me this evening. A story of two missionaries who went to a distant country for missionary work. They returned to their country after years and on landing they saw a huge crowd. The man said to his wife 'wow all these people have come to welcome us'. But no, the president of that country who had gone on a hunting expedition was returning,and the people were there for him.
No one had come to meet the two missionaries.
The man sunk into a depressed mood. Looked up to heaven and said 'God nobody came to welcome us'
He heard in his spirit 'Don't worry son you are not home yet '.
The quote that recurs is ' everything you do, do it as unto the Lord'.
You are not alone. You are not forgotten. One day it will make sense.
All the houses that led to the Kansie shrine had no aluminum roofing. The first thing you noticed at the premises were the skull of donkeys in the rocks that housed the shrine. The skulls were kept buried because whenever it was left in the sun, the entire village suffered migraines. Everyone who entered the shrine had to be topless. No one ever returned from Kansie still bearing whatever issue had caused them to enter into it in the first place. This was where recognized fetish priests sought fortification from; and where they directed important people to seek help when they knew they could not handle the situation they brought with them. One had to be parsimonious and ready to do as was directed, because when the gods decided on what sacrifice they wanted, no appeal was heard. The national election was in two weeks and Fynn Aggrey was contesting. This was his second time running and although six others had picked up nomination forms, it was a clear contest between Fynn and Nii A
