The story is told of a great man of God who asked God who He God believed was the most important in his church. Somehow in his heart he felt there was no way any person would be more important or valuable to God in his church than himself. That evening God showed him a vision, where there were three crowns set out,all of different sizes. In the vision, God gave the middle sized crown to his assistant pastor,and proceeded to hand over the smallest crown to him. He was very surprised and wondered who would be the receiver of the largest crown.As he watched, the crown was handed over to an old lady who was a regular at church. When he woke up,he was worried, as to why God didn't even give him the middle sized crown and went to the church to pray. On reaching there,he asked the security man to give him the keys so he could open the door and go pray as dawn had not yet even broken out. He was surprised when the security man told him someone was already in there ; and added that ...

Okay so whether we like it or Not, Valentine's Day is approaching and quite fast too. On the one hand I can't wait for it to come, so that it passes by early as well,lol. On a more serious note, I know some people go on and on about not seeing the relevance of waiting for one day to show they love someone. Fine, as long as you are showing them you do. If you have a problem with doing so on just that day in particular, for whatever reason, cool, but I think you should find a different day to do. Trust me there are some who say that just as an excuse not to do anything. Anyways, these past few days have been mostly boring for me( sometimes boring is good though, but I digress..), and I have spent more time than you can imagine on my phone and on the internet. The good thing about that is learning some new things and seeing different people I probably would never meet face to face; And getting to read sentiments, and plans people have for this coming day. Ofcourse I have also ...

I wish everything always went as I would have wanted it. I wish all the pictures I took were full of bright happy smiles. I wish all the people who assured me they were going to do something always did. I wish all the people l spent time crushing on always crushed back. I wish I could always get all the books I wanted to read,have all the movies I wanted to watch. I wish I could have all the jobs I wanted. I wish i had all the money I wanted so I could give some to all the people i see who so desperately needed some. I wish i had the best phone so I could take the most beautiful selfies. I wish i had a man who had all the qualities i dream of in about a hundred different men all rolled up in just him. I wish i had the best advice to give to people who so wanted direction. I wish I had the broadest shoulders to offer to all those whose pillows were drenched in their own tears. I wish all the people I thought of every day would think about me as much as i did. I wish the people I s...

There were a lot of preachers in the Region, but in that part of town, there was a total influx. They were simply uncountable, with their buildings sometimes so close to each other it was often impossible to decipher where a sound came from. Their signboards seemed to compete with each other, as if it proved whose ministry was bigger. On the surface it seemed to be the only thing that betrayed the unwritten battle between them. The battle for dominance, superiority, largeness, wealth. That part of town boasted also of the most loud-mouthed. An unexperienced eye could often not tell what distinguished the one from the other.   Interestingly four had managed to stand out among the rest. Kusi Appiah claimed his spiritual prowess was sharper than the functioning of the modern day computer. Joe Appah boasted that he needed but touch a person’s situation once for it to be solved, no matter what it was.   Osofo Agyarko didn’t mention any names but often bellowed about the ju...

One of the events etched in my memory, which I probably won't forget in a while is the Nelson Mandela memorial service. In that one single gathering were a lot of the worlds most powerful leaders. Anyone who was anybody was there. But what got my attention more was the spouses of these leaders. As I watched them, I tried to imagine how it would feel waking up every day besides people who had so much influence in their worlds. On whose shoulders rested directions that could and have altered a lot of lives. It made me remember a certain Rev Eastwood Anaba service I attended. If you know me well, you would know I have major love for him. Even if you don't know me well, you only have to go through my pictures on Facebook to realize his image was one of the first I posted ever, even before my own picture. Well, after this service, I started telling my friend how I should have been born earlier, so I could have married him, lol. My friend said a very interesting thing: 'Y...

Happy New Year everyone. I have noticed that whilst some people are excited about the prospects this new year brings, very much hopeful about their resolutions for this year, some others are quite indifferent: to them it's just a change of date, and not That serious.. Either ways i am excited to have you all here in this New Year. Some things would not change. I am sure you will still wear some clothes that you used to wear, eat some things you used to, watch some tv shows etc . However some things may change. A new job maybe? Relationships? Maybe even a new car. Yet whether or not something is going to change is going to depend majorly on you. Somethings would never change unless you change them. What you should know is that you are more in control of your life than any body is. In this year may we focus more on who we want to be than too focused on not being who we used to be. The fact is that, there are some things that we are not in control of. God is. It is imperative th...
