what you don't know

A young man desiring to better his living standards used his life savings to buy a ticket on a ship in search of greener pastures. The amount he had left was so little he could only afford a little amount of provisions for the journey.
 On board the ship,he would leave his bedside every evening and hide behind the door of the dining hall looking at all the rich people dining and partying,and would come and take a little of his biscuits, hoping one day he would also be able to afford the expensive looking food he saw them eating.
 On the eve of the day when they were to reach their location, he was returning to his room after watching as usual when he run into the shipmaster, who inquired why he did not join them for meals every time. He replied that he could not afford those meals.
The shipmaster looked at him in awe, and asked how it was he didn't know all those meals came with the purchase of the ticket.
 For all those nights he had ate biscuits not knowing what he was entitled to.
 This story reminds of the scriptural words: seek,knock and ask.
 Sadly, even now,many people leave Earth not knowing all that they could have had.        Many people miss out on blessings because it looks far beyond thir reach. We settle for so little because we look down on ourselves but today I encourage you to take a step. It is only when you do so that you would know how far you can reach.
 God bless.

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 ...

So What?

Have you found yourself doing something that you knew wasn't really 'right' or even downright wrong but you loved it so much that you damn all consequences and just live in the moment? Or when you really feel guilty about doing something but you refuse to even ask for forgiveness about it because you know even before you say Amen that you will do the exact same thing again as soon as you get the opportunity to? I don't know about you but I have. There are some things that honestly I have attempted 'negotiating' with God to give me a pass on, while I gather strength to overcome lol. You may pass your own judgment on this and say 'then you are not really sorry or you don't want to let go enough'. Ok, Most Strongest, when I grow up I want to be like you and be able to easily let go of things that i need to without even a little struggle. But you see the truth is that it is not entirely surprising that people have a certain response to situations that ...
