Image
Following a viral video posted yesterday exposing the poor state of the Kojokrom road and the heavy traffic it caused, the Mayor of the Sekondi-Takoradi Metropolitan Assembly (STMA), Lawyer FF Faidoo, has moved quickly to tackle the problem. This morning, under the Mayor’s instructions, the Department of Urban Roads began temporary reshaping works on the affected section. The works involve dredging, grading, leveling, and filling major potholes to improve traffic flow and ease delays for commuters and residents. The Mayor personally visited the site to oversee the emergency intervention, stressing that while this is only a short-term fix, a permanent reconstruction is already being planned in collaboration with the Ministry of Roads and Highways. He also expressed gratitude to the CEO of JustMoh Company for supporting the effort by supplying a 0-40 stone base to fill damaged portions of the road.

Grace After the Storm: A Reflection on 1 Peter 5:10

Image
  _"But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you."_ – 1 Peter 5:10 Life’s journey is not without trials. There are seasons of pain, uncertainty, and spiritual dryness. But 1 Peter 5:10 reminds us of a powerful truth: God never wastes our suffering. In fact, He uses it as a tool for transformation, not punishment. The God of All Grace Grace is more than unmerited favor—it is God’s divine empowerment to endure, grow, and overcome. Peter describes God as “the God of all grace,” meaning His grace covers every aspect of our lives—our past failures, our present struggles, and our future uncertainties. A Purpose Behind the Pain Peter doesn’t deny suffering. He acknowledges it: _“after that ye have suffered a while…”_ The suffering is temporary, but the outcome is eternal. God allows seasons of challenge to shape us into stronger, wiser, and more Christ-like...

WHEN SORRY IN MARRIAGE BECOMES A POISON RATHER THAN A MEDICINE

Image
Whosoever can easily say sorry when he or she is wrong is a strong and humble person. But whosoever says sorry when he or she is not wrong is neither strong nor humble because humility is not humiliation. People who say sorry when they're not wrong most times are not happy inwardly. They only say sorry in order to appease their partner who is obviously wrong. Where there is a huge misunderstanding and you say sorry for what you didn't do wrong just to save your relationship momentarily, this is understandable but it doesn't make it right neither should it become a norm or marital doctrine. Always saying sorry when you are not wrong will enslave you, destroy your sense of reasoning and ultimately makes your partner have wrong impression of himself or herself. Christian virtue demands that a man should be sorry when he is wrong not to be told sorry when he is wrong. Marriage is more of a friendship relationship than boss and subordinate union. Even when you have a slave servi...

Statement on the Mid-Year Budget and Roads in Gomoa Central

Image
I’ve heard some people complaining that their areas were not captured in the roads announced during the 2025 Mid-Year Budget. I’m sorry, but maybe you didn’t pay close attention. Apart from the major strategic roads that were announced which will benefit all of us, the Finance Minister, Dr Cassiel Ato Baah Forson clearly stated that 166 constituencies, will each benefit from 10 kilometers of road construction every year. That is 6,640 kilometers of roads across the country in just four years! There was no way the Minister was going to mention all the 166 constituencies in the speech, but the policy is clear and the commitment is firm. Here in Gomoa Central, our top priority is clear: the Gomoa Pomadze to Gomoa Jukwa road, which is in a deplorable state and stretches just about 19km. I’m happy to report that I have formally presented this road to the government under the 10km-per-year initiative. I’m even more excited that it has been captured in the 2025 Mid-Year Budget. In just two ye...

From Dry Bones to Mighty Army: A Prophetic Awakening Ezekiel 37:1–10

Image
 When the Spirit of the Lord took the prophet Ezekiel to a valley full of dry bones, it was more than a vision—it was a divine message about restoration, identity, and purpose. These bones weren’t just dead—they were dry, rotten, and scattered. They had no form, no identity, no strength. Forgotten and abandoned, they symbolized lost destinies, shattered dreams, and lives stuck in hopelessness. But then, God spoke. Through the power of divine creativity, the lifeless bones began to rattle, reconnect, grow flesh, and rise into a mighty army 🪖. What had no recognition or purpose became warriors for the Lord. What was once dead and forgotten became useful, strong, and powerful in His hands. This is Your Valley Moment Many of us have areas in our lives that feel like those dry bones—hopes we’ve buried, dreams we’ve forgotten, and spiritual gifts we’ve allowed to fade. But today, God is speaking life over them. Declare These Prayers Boldly: - Lord Jesus Christ, let every dead bone in my...
