THEY THAT DO KNOW THEIR GOD!

-
Image
The first thing Elisha did after the mantle of Elijah came upon him was to part the river Jordan by striking it with the mantle of Elijah. And at that point, he said "Where is the God of Elijah?"(2 Kings 2:14). For then, he knew God as "Elijah's God". He had not known God for himself.  The same Elisha, after he had known God for himself said "send Namaan to me and he shall know that there is a prophet in Israel" (2 Kings 5:8). He was no longer shouting "Where is the God of Elijah?" Namaan's case was such that doctors could not handle it. They had done everything medical, and yet his leprosy persisted. It was a severe case of leprosy. It demanded the ministry of a man that had known God for himself and not the man that hides under a "borrowed anointing". Look through the scripture and you discover that it was only once that Elisha said "Where is the God of Elijah?" As he matured in God and got to know God the more, he ...

It was all fun until I thought she was gone in her sleep. First and last sleepover!

-
Image
A lady came to sleep over. I’ve known her for almost five months now. We started dating after about a month of meeting and she has actually visited me about five times already but yesterday, we agreed that she slept over because she wouldn’t go anywhere today.  As usual, we had sezz - she’s my girlfriend so of course.  We ate and while watching a movie, we both slept off. I woke up around 2:19 am. to put the laptop off and go to bed. Then it dawned on me, “what if this lady doesn’t wake up tomorrow?” I was just having random thoughts cuz I’m only 26, and this is the first time I’ve had a room of my own. I rented February this year and last night is equally the first time a woman slept over.  While these thoughts ran through my mind, I decided to wake this girl up just to see if she’s still ok. I wasn’t even going to ask her anything, I was just going to say she should sleep well.  Bro Kay, when I turned on the light, she had opened her mouth wide and her eyes weren’t...

Confidence in God’s protection and presence, even in times of fear or trouble.

-
Image
Psalm 27 Author: David   Theme: Confidence in God’s protection and presence, even in times of fear or trouble. Verses 1–3: Confidence in God's Protection "The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?"   David boldly declares that God is his light (guidance), salvation (deliverance), and strength. Because of this, he has no reason to fear enemies—even if an army surrounds him. His confidence is rooted in God, not in himself. Key Point: True courage comes from trusting in God's power and presence. Verses 4–6: Desire for God’s Presence David expresses a deep longing to dwell in God’s house forever. His greatest desire isn’t safety, but closeness to God. "One thing have I desired of the Lord..." He seeks to behold the beauty of the Lord and inquire in His temple. God’s presence brings peace, joy, and security. Key Point: Prioritize spiritual intimacy over physical security. Verses 7–12: A Plea for Mercy and Guidance David shifts to a prayer, asking ...

Ghana bows in sorrow as we bid farewell to our fallen heroes 🇬🇭🕊

-
Image
Today, Ghana weeps. The drums are silent, the flags hang low, and the air is heavy with sorrow as we bid farewell to our fallen heroes. They were more than soldiers — they were protectors, dreamers, and pillars of courage whose sacrifices have etched their names into the heart of our nation. In this moment of national mourning, we stand united, not just in grief, but in deep gratitude for the lives they lived and the freedom they defended. The nation of Ghana stands in solemn unity as we lay to rest our fallen heroes — brave sons and daughters who gave their lives in service to our country. Under the soft shade of black and red canopies, families, friends, government officials, and citizens gathered to pay their final respects at an emotional burial service marked by tears, prayers, and heartfelt tributes. The day began with the mournful sound of drums and the solemn march of the Ghana Armed Forces. Flags flew at half-mast across the nation, a silent but powerful symbol of our collecti...

Tragedy Strikes Agona Abodom: Festival Turns Deadly Amid Renewed Chieftaincy Dispute

-
Image
What was meant to be a peaceful and joyous celebration in Agona Abodom has turned into a community-wide tragedy. The town, located in the Agona West Municipality of Ghana's Central Region, was plunged into chaos after violent clashes erupted during a traditional festival, leaving three people dead and many others seriously injured. According to reports, the violence stems from a deep-rooted chieftaincy dispute that has plagued the community for more than four decades. Though tensions had appeared to ease following the installation of Nana Osamdade Obrempong XI earlier this year, recent events suggest the conflict is far from over. The Attack: As traditional leaders and residents gathered to celebrate the festival, an opposing faction allegedly hired land guards to violently disrupt the occasion. Eyewitnesses say the assailants stormed the chief’s palace, damaging vehicles, tables, chairs, and other property before clashing with residents. “It was terrifying. We didn’t expect viole...

Cocoa Sacks and Cameras: When Dignity Died with the Dead

-
Image
In the annals of national tragedy, August 6th, 2025, will be remembered not only for the helicopter crash that claimed the lives of eight distinguished sons of Ghana, but for something far more disgraceful the stripping away of their dignity in death. Yes, a nation mourns. Yes, grief hangs thick in the air. But how did we become so numb to reverence, so desensitised to human worth, that we thought it appropriate, no, necessary to broadcast their remains live, and even more horrifying, to show their noble bodies shoved into cocoa sacks? Cocoa sacks? For the defenders of the realm? For the leaders, the trailblazers, the men who once wore the nation’s badge with pride? This is not only a tragedy of aircraft or altitude, but of attitude. The accident was sudden. The heartbreak, unimaginable. The silence of their departure, deafening. But what followed was even more deafening; the clatter of camera shutters, the relentless clicking of phones, the livestreams of agony, the footage of bodies,...

Scenes from the Agona Abodom festival moments before and after rival factions clashed.

-
Image
What started as a vibrant, joyous celebration in the town of Agona Abodom took a heartbreaking turn when clashes broke out between rival factions during the annual festival. The event, known for bringing together families, friends, and communities in a colorful display of culture and unity, ended in violence, panic, and widespread concern. The festival had begun peacefully, with traditional performances, music, and a strong sense of pride among attendees. Crowds filled the streets, dancing and sharing in the excitement. However, beneath the surface, tensions between opposing groups had been quietly building — and by afternoon, those tensions erupted into open confrontation. Captured in Real Time Photos and videos from the scene (included below) show the stark contrast: smiling faces in the morning, then fear, confusion, and chaos as the day wore on. Screams replaced songs, and what was once a celebration quickly became a scene of people fleeing, shouting, and trying to avoid danger. Ey...
