COVID-19 SERIES : MAKE HAY WHILES THE SUN SHINES


So those of you who are not married, when do you think your wedding will come on in this Covid-19 pandemic? When we say marry you say No, I am waiting for the right man and woman at the right time yet you have slept with people more than the hairs of your head. In this lockdown how will you ever get to meet your spouse, his or her family? Who will shake your hands and which road will you use to go to her/his family house? Which market are you going to buy the marriage list and which street will you use to go to that market? Who will accompany you to your traditional wedding and which church are you going to do your wedding?

 Anyway, we have private funerals of not more than 25 people so I guess you can seize this opportunity to say because of covid-19 you invited just some few people and carry on with your wedding if it's not a criminal offense prosecutable under law, a breach of executive order in the face of ban on social gathering except for private funerals of not more than 25 people. Even with that you must social distance. Infact which pastor will come and bless your marriage for you and after Covid-19 is over who knows if you or your suitor will still be alive? I am not being a pessimist but from the way I see things, this is a global crisis and if God does not intervene it's not going to be anytime soon before we return to our normal lives (though I wish otherwise).

If not for anything at all Covid-19 has taught us that indeed the adage, "procrastination is a thief of time" is true. So many people had so many plans they should have executed but keep on postponing. If there is any good lesson to pick from this pandemic, the fact that you must make hay whiles the sun shines. Time and time waits for no man. Sorry if I unreasonably dwelt on only marriage as a case study. Certainly I couldn't use every example of this life but I must say this analogy cuts through every facet of life and teaches us a big lesson. My guess is everyone reading this piece is of a marriageable age, either married or yet to be married so I think I chose a good theme to carry my message accross.

Veep : Demons And Principalities In Public Sector

Image
I think Ghanaians now have the economic answers that they are looking for from the Vice President of Ghana, Dr. Mahmoud Bawumia as to why the economy is in a very bad state at the moment. The astute politician has attributed his failure to manage the economy properly to demons and principalities in the country.  To him, it is only when you get to the public service that you will realise that you are not only dealing with flesh and blood but against demons and principalities as stated by Apostle Paul in Ephesians 6:12. He is however hopeful and positive that he is going to conquer these demons and principalities to put the economy back on track. Some of us are wondering why it has taken him too long to come to this realisation when we have so many pastors in the country who fight against demons and principalities? If anything at all Bishop Obinim, Reverend Obofuor or NPP's own Owusu Bempah could be giving anointing oil to anoint the whole of Ghana in 30 days. He said this in one of ...

KENNEDY AGYAPONG CAN BEAT MAHAMA HANDS DOWN

Image
The late Christian Atsu was asked which defender made his balling days terrible? He said Harrison Afful. The guy is not really much recognized and spoken much of but he can trouble strikers. He is very hard to dribble and he disorganises game plans of opponents. You see, many have not paid attention to him but technical coaches know his worth.  This is exactly what Kennedy Agyapong will do to Mahama if he is given the nod. He will really disorganize the game plan of NDC and dilute all their messages with water. This is what NPP needs if they want to retain power not that we want them in power though. They have messed up enough. I am just making my objective submissions regardless of politics.  Dr. Bawumia is very intelligent but he should still be a vice president under Kennedy Agyapong if they really want to trouble NDC. The only NPP man that can match Mahama boot for boot is Kennedy Agyapong. Akufo-Addo won not because he was tough, Ghanaians were just fed up with the "corru...
