Close Enough


I do not remember what exactly it was that got me feeling rather down, but one evening, i went to bed very early,  really unhappy.I was awoken by loud knocks from my uncle very early in the morning, to tell me about a dream. At first i was like 'oh so this man could not wait just a few more hours before?', but when he told me the dream, i was shocked. It related so much much to the mood of yesternight and i knew God had virtually sent me a direct message through him.

There is also this one time where something i was looking forward to very much did not work out. I logged on to my Facebook and the first post i saw was from my friend talking about 'not giving up because God was still on your case'. So timely.

These are personal examples, and now let me give you  two biblical ones. Elijah, once upon a time was so depressed he got into suicide mode. And he told God he wanted to die. God heard him and granted his request. Not until after correcting some errors Elijah had believed first though!

Another fascinating account of just how close God is and how swiftly He answers is the story of King Hezekiah. When the prophet of God told him to get his house in order because he was going to die, He turned his face to the wall and told God to know there was no King who worshipped Him as he did. Bible says the prophet had not even reached the compound, and according to some school of thought, that was like just one minute later when God told him to go back and tell the king he had changed his mind.

You see in all cases, God heard and did exactly what both wanted. One wanted to die, the other did not want to.

What is on your mind lately? What have you been thinking and saying lightly because you felt there was no way God would really know about it.

God is more closer than you think. Bible says, the eyes of God are constantly on the earth, watching out. He misses not a thing, and definitely never misses you.
Do not believe the wicked lies the devil tries to feed your soul.
For God has not given us the spirit of fear unto death, but of love, power and a sound mind.

 God is closer than you could imagine.So don't believe that you are alone with no hope and nothing better for you. Now why don't you really tell Him what has been on your mind..

A god’s election.

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

I want to be like you..,sure?

Just before he entered University of Ghana he was involved in an accident so had to move around with the aid of crutches. During that time, there was intermittent supply of water, meaning he needed to go fetch some for use. His cousin who had been helping him throughout his registration had left after he got his room and bed.  Now there he was, standing in front of the hall, with a bucket by his side, metals in his legs, P.O.P around them and holding his crutches; feeling extremely depressed wondering how he was supposed to function in school without any help; asking himself if he should have just stayed home. But right there, he saw another student walking towards the hall, a visually impaired student, tapping the ground with his cain as he made his way slowly into the hall. He said that was the last time he allowed himself to ever get depressed about whatever situation he found himself in, because as bad as he felt his present situation was, he had so many other things going on for

A FAMILY AFFAIR

KenaKrom was a small fishing village, which lacked any vibrant form of modern entertainment, the old folks were left to telling stories to their grandchildren at sunset to keep them entertained. The young adults gathered in the town square to listen to the men play drums while the females danced. The highlight of the people’s year was when they celebrated their festival. They watched as the chief priest performed various strange acts while the best drummers played to urge him on. After the festival he chose the most handsome looking young boy in the village to be taught by him and train him as a future priest. This year, rather surprisingly the gods had chosen who the villagers agreed was the most unintelligent child. Kenakrom’s richest family was the Nyarko-Ansah family. The Nyarko-Ansah family was not only the richest but the largest, and more than half of the people of this small village traced their lineage to this family’s ancestry. The village kingmakers came from that family,
