A SHIP AT THE HABOUR

A ship at the harbour








So it happens that the famous logos hope ship(a ship full of Christian and other literature)
 found herself on the shores of Ghana again, giving Ghanaians an opportunity to benefit from her good work. I was so privileged and graced to have been among the few Ghanaians who witnessed this historic event.

It was quite interesting how people were happily jumping around, taking selfies, and all that.  I just stood at a place with the ship in sight thinking through how this dream became a reality for someone. Also as a young engineer I was thinking about the loads of work involved in fulfilling such a dream.  A friend came closer and looking at how amazed I was he said to me, there are bigger ones than this and I nodded at him affirming his point.

Again, I laughed and gave a faint smile after realizing that this huge vessel is controlled by an individual called captain, who happens to be a man. It was just funny to accept the fact  that this huge vessel which is 1000 times bigger than man is being controlled by tiny man.
 
This took me back to the book of genesis where GOD instructed man to take dominion of everything HE created. Gen 1:26 ( And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth).

The level and kind of dominion GOD bestowed on us as mankind was and still is one of a kind. If   tiny little men called captains can control vessels as huge as the size of logos hope, then men are yet to discover the extent to which their dominion ends.

No wonder with faith like mustard seed we would move mountains.

What am I trying to say? 

Your issue maybe as big as the logos hope ship or better still like the famous titanic ship, the size of the ship is not the problem but the captain to champion its course. Until the captain puts on the engine to set sail for people to admire the ship, its magnificence is only known  to itself.

 Command your day, exhibit your dominance as man, there is nothing bigger than you, it doesn’t matter the size of the ship , as a captain if you stop the engine the ship will quietly obey, if you start it again it will gladly respond to your will. 

Think about this and praise GOD for your life.
