Hi everyone! How did you celebrate the Easter? Mine was full of sleeping and meditation. Thank God for the great love with which He loved us. Here's an Easter poem to keep you going.
A Helpless God?

He walked on this earth in great power
He healed the sick, raised the dead
Above normal mortals, He seemed to tower

He spoke with authority
And taught the people
Shocked and amazed every entity

The crowds followed Him, curious
To see miracles and eat bread
For to them, His claims were really spurious

Frowning, they tugged their turbans
The Pharisees sought to kill Him
For His fame had gone rural and urban

Yet He seemed unkillable
Yet He was untouchable
This Son of man, so irresistible

But at the moment of reckoning, His "luck" wasn't endless
And so it seemed,
That for a moment, God was helpless

He who had walked in power
Now unable to move a finger
His disciples began to cower

The people mocked, the women wept
The disciples scattered,
Running, confused, they all left

And for a moment, God was helpless
Or so it seemed

But O the wisdom of God, how unsearchable
If the princes had known,
They wouldn't have crucified Christ

Like a son He laid down His life
Bringing hell to confusion
And like a Son He picked up His life

 Now when it looks like God is helpless
Remember His weakness is greater than any strength
And His foolishness wiser than all wisdom

Happy Easter to you

Stalker God?

One Sunday during a church Bible study on salvation, the Bible study leader spoke about the coming judgement and told us that God keeps a record of the things we do and we will be judged according to our works. Someone asked why God follows us recording everything we do to judge us on the last day when He Himself had said we're saved when we believe in Christ. The leader asked the congregation if any of us had an answer and I shared my opinion. I gave quite a lengthy explanation on the difference between the judgment of Christians and the judgment of the world, the various crowns and rewards that will be given on the last day, and the fact that our lives are an eternal record of the glory of God and an example to the world. Everyone seemed to like what I said and I was applauded. After church, one of the junior pastors told me that he liked my answer during the Bible study class and I left, feeling a warm glow inside. As I thought about it, my mind was opened and I underst...

That Dirty Rag

Would you pick your one cedi note if it fell into a gutter? Probably not.  Even if it was your last cedi? Most likely, you’d look at the gutter and the things floating in it, wrinkle your nose in disgust at the smell and let it go…even of it means you have to walk home. After all, even if you remove it, there’s nothing you can do to make it better. Surely, you might reconsider if it was your phone, purse or wallet, but not that that dirty rag. That dirty rag which was once a clean white handkerchief. That dirty rag which in its lifetime had been used to wipe sweat, water, dirt, blood, your shoes and other things until it could no longer be recognized as a handkerchief. That once-white handkerchief which had turned some unidentifiable colour which you kept at the side of your bag for wiping your shoes. Who would bend down to pick that not-too-valuable rag that had fallen into the disgusting, smelly gutter? Only Jesus would. Only Jesus would do something that people ...

Let In The Light

Imagine a room. A dark room. A cold dark room where the windows and door are tightly shut. Where you have to grope about to find your way cause your eyes can't get used to this darkness. You need light but the windows are barred shut. Maybe your life is as dark as this room and you're groping and stumbling, trying to find your way. Perhaps you're confused and you don't know what to do. You need clear, specific direction on what to do and where to go. So what do you do? Turn to the door. And open it. And let the light flood in. Let it bring freshness and warmth and clarity of vision. Let in the light of God's word to guide you and live a fulfilling life.  Psalm 119: 130  Your instructions are a doorway through which light shines. They give insight to the untrained
