HEART ECONOMY

                                                      HEART ECONOMY

Economics in simple terms is stability. Today our mortuary houses a lot of individuals because their hearts failed to regulate the inflow and outflow of blood from the heart technically known as the blood pressure.

Psychiatric hospitals are no different from these heart issues. Males and females alike with promising futures end up in cages for fear misbehaving in public.

Well this is not a medical class so we ll leave that to the doctors and medical practitioners.
Scripture in “Proverbs 4: 23 says, Keep thy heart with all diligence, for out of it cometh the issues of life. Delving deeper into the text the word keep here in the Hebrew is nastar, which means to guard, in a good sense (protect, maintain, and obey).

A guard protects life by regulation, that is to say he/she permits and desist people from seeing his/her master in order to protect the life of his/her master.
These practices by the security guard are geared towards stability with reference to the life of his/her master.

The bible clearly instructs us in this verse to do same to our hearts. As guards we are responsible for whatever and whoever enters our heart. Be it anger, love, hatred, bitterness, boys, girls, money, and anything at all our mind can conceive.

Create stability in your life by taking hold of the locks to your heart. Open up to who and what will make the heart glad. Purposely close your heart to anything that will destroy it.

You may ask how can this be done?

The blueprint to living a peaceful life has being embedded in our hearts according to Hebrews 10:16. Just like how an ATM machine works, Put an invalid card in the slot and the machine will spit it out. This is because per its operations such cards have no place there.

Therefore anything that tries to enter your heart without conforming to the blueprint as stated in Heb 10:16, needs to be shown the exit door.

Know how to guard, secure and protect your heart and you are assured of good, spiritual and physical health.

No guy or lady has the right to enter your heart, even GOD asks for permission to do so. You are in charge of your life on earth, but it will be wise on your side to invite GOD to pick up that role for you.

Thank you and have a nice day.

HIS CLOTHING LINE


                                            HIS CLOTHING LINE

I learnt from primary school that, your dressing portrays or defines your behaviour. Today I find it a little debatable, because looks can be deceiving these days.

It’s quite amazing how we stand in front of mirrors to check out how our dresses look on us, some of us even go the extra mile to seek 2nd opinions on how we look in our dresses before we step outside.

I don’t know how many of us have seen a lady walk in high heels, but if you have, you realise she walks differently in her high heels than she would walk in normal flat shoes. That is the extent to which our dressing can affect our lives.

Today I came across a scripture in Galatians 3:27,which says “ for as many of you as have been baptized into CHRIST have put on CHRIST”.  So I asked myself, how would I look in the mirror when I put on JESUS CHRIST?

Then the scripture in 2cor 3:18 came to mind which says ”but we all with open faces beholding as in a glass the glory of the LORD ,are changed into the same image from glory to glory even as by the spirit of the LORD.”

I can deduce from the two scriptures above that as Christian we have our clothing line, and that is the “GLORY CLOTHING”.

Moses in the Old Testament had a feel of this clothing line. The bible records that men couldn’t look at him because of the glory he was wearing when he returned from mountain Sinai with the ten commandments

The prophet Ezekiel did his best in the book of Ezekiel chapter one to describe it ,but notice that in his description he mostly used the word ‘’like or likeness’’ and “as’”, meaning he couldn’t really tell what it was.

The glory of GOD and its effect is better left unexplainable, because no amount of words can best describe it, and just enjoy it if you have it.

Someone may ask how do I get this clothing ? and your answer is right in the first scripture. Get yourself baptized after hearing and  believing in the word of GOD. It is that simple.

Beloved, If you put on JESUS, you have put on the glory of GOD and therefore men cannot describe or fathom what you have become.

Your life after putting on CHRIST will never be the same, just like a lady in high heels , you ll surely walk differently.   
       
Read, enjoy, like and share. 
                   
Thank you

I WANT TO PRANK GOD

I WANT TO PRANK GOD.

I want to stand in the middle of the city and scream there is no GOD, I want to prove to men that the GOD they hail and claim to serve is just a false GOD because I cried out to him when my mother was lying on her sick bed at the point of death, and all I kept hearing was GOD is in control. I bet HE was since my mother finally died.

I want to drink alcohol and womanize all I want on earth and enjoy life. My worse feared enemy then, would be STDs, but who cares about STDs when there is protection.
I just want to add a few zeros to that cheque and later slip the money into my account after all its just once and won’t do it again.

I want to dress like that holy church girl to please the pastor. I actually want to live like a Christian so she knows I also know GOD and later show her how things are done in my world.

I will give that fat offerings in church and do the work of a philanthropist to cover up for my evil deeds and ways of making money.

I am the pastor and the one to be catered for. I ll take  all the tithe and offerings and later say some words of prayer for the poor ones in the church and also tell them to trust and hope in GOD. You are the shepherd and not the sheep.

You dare stand to accuse the existence of GOD after contracting the fetish priest to use your mother for money rituals.

You think condoms and contraceptives gives you a license to mess around, I think you should talk to persons with these STDs, I believe you can learn a thing or two.

A journey of a 1000miles only begins with a step, you might end up being the best bank robber after your first bank robbery.

Young woman wearing good clothes is for your good and never to please your pastor, you only save yourself from men lusting after you which can even result in rape; and young man becoming a church goer to woo a lady is like an advance payment on your doom - you become the devil's number one target because there is a possibility of you receiving your salvation since you are in church, and this makes you number one on the devil’s hit list.

Rich man and Mr. Philanthropist; men may only see with their eyes but GOD sees all that is hidden. Kindly stop the corruption and the act of cheating because GOD sees all you do.

The master shepherd said HE came to serve and not to be served. HE said to Peter, "feed my sheep." GOD will cause people to bless you so stop being greedy and treating ministry like your ventures.

These little things we do and think about are never hidden from GOD. I call them “pranks”. 

GOD is not and can never be pranked. "God is not mocked..." JESUS is indeed coming back for HIS own. Stay true to HIS given word and you will never regret it.

 I choose not to prank GOD but to give HIM my all and I advise you to do same.
Thank you.

THE BLIND DRIVER

                                                            THE BLIND DRIVER

I sat with my boss in the office as she lectured me on being careful in life. She told me a real life experience she once had as a student, and I could only bless GOD for her life. She schooled in the northern part of Ghana in the University of Development Studies.

On one of her numerous trips to school she took a night bus which developed an electrical fault and caused the lighting system of the bus to totally go off; the head lights and all other lights on the bus just went off. Surprisingly, the engine was still running and the bus could still move.

The road to the north is such that you could drive for hours without seeing villages, towns, or cities. Look through your wind screen or window and the only thing you’d see was thick forests or wide plains, staring back at you.

So there they were in the middle of the road left to nothing but their fate. You would ask; why didn’t they call for help with their mobile phones. Yes, I also asked same, and she said there were places along the road where mobile network was just not accessible, and this was one of such places.

“What did you do then?” Was my next question. She then spoke about the blind driver.

The driver had no choice but to drive the people to a safer place where they could call for help. His only source of light then was that of on-coming cars. Without an on-coming car, the driver was totally blind behind the steer and could only rely on the experience of his frequent use of the road. The Light from on –coming cars additionally gave him an idea of where he was and what to do next.

This blind driver drove on slowly and slowly with his imagination of the road through the thick forests and plains until they reached a nearby village where they could call for help. At that point, I happily slapped my hands together clapping for the blind driver, because of a job well done.

Where am I going with this?

 At points in our lives, just like the bus; our lights go off. There are times we see that things are not going as they should. We bear witness to ourselves that we are putting in all the effort needed but things are just not working.  we cross check sometimes to see where we went wrong, only to realise that we are actually at our best, yet we are just not moving.

 Let me tell you this, if this is your situation; cast your mind back to the broad day light of your life where you leaped over stones, where you knew how to cross roads without getting knocked down by a car, cast your mind back to how you always trusted GOD to take you through all the mishaps you’ve faced in life.

 Now, relax and give a deep thought to these things, what you are facing now is no different from what you have been through earlier in life, yes it seems like GOD is silent on this particular issue, it is true; this is because HE is quietly and slowly driving you to a much safer place where HE can actually bring helpers to your aid.

Trusts in the LORD, believe HIS word for your life and you will forever love HIM.


THANK YOU.

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.

THE PARAMETERS OF GOD'S HEART

THE HEART OF GOD

Today I sat down and thought through how it feels to be GOD.  I found out my knowledge about how big HIS heart is, is equal to my imagination because I can only imagine the size of HIS heart. I agree HE created us in HIS own image and likeness but at times I still ask myself if I lack something. We also have a heart and this heart is subjected to a lot of tear and wear day in and day out, and sometimes the feeling is so gross you don’t want to own a heart again. So I ask, does GOD really have a heart?

 If yes does HE also feel what we sometimes feel or does HE ever go through emotional trauma? If that also answers yes then I‘ll ask again, HOW BIG IS THE HEART OF GOD.  We sin like our lives depend on sin, we live anyhow like fatherless children, we talk anyhow like there is no GOD listening.

We throw HIS love back at HIM and tell HIM point blank how HE has wasted resources. We tell HIM it was foolish on HIS part to give us HIS most treasured TREASURE. We spit in and on HIS face and tell HIM to walk away.

Again, how lame can a man be and not utter a word when HE is being bruised knowing HE had the authority to stop it, how stupid can you be to see your enemy full of anger and rage and yet hand him your life on a silver platter. How insane it is to still ask for forgiveness for an one who will beat you into deformation and even unto death.

YOU do all this in the name of love and later YOU realize the flower(love) YOU gave as  a token was thrown back at you in the face saying to you your love is not enough.

What amazes me is the fact that you still have the heart and gust to say you love mankind. GOD please answer me, how big is your heart. You contain all my stupidity and foolishness, my disobedience and stubbornness, you are always heartbroken yet never cease to love us the more. What kind of GOD are you.

Now my final question to YOU GOD, and please answer  me” HOW BIG CAN MY HEART BE”

JESUS AT THE NIGHT CLUB

                                      JESUS AT THE NIGHT CLUB

Just like how we do it any other Friday night, there was this time we were really fired up to have the craziest fun ever. The scenes of this day still plays back in memory like it owns the largest estate in my mind.

Friday nights in college were the best nights, and this was because we finally got to do away with the boring lectures and annoying lecturers to catch some fun. We rushed to the room after our last lecture to begin our fun night. It started with picking up clothes and sneakers that would make you the heartbeat of the fun throughout the night because the girls will be checking you out like you are their duty, and the feeling of that alone was a blast.

I strapped up with my friends and hit the road at 9 pm for the club. At half past 9 we were already in the queue for checks into the club. We entered and the place was just crazy. Alcohol everywhere, naked girls all over and the sound was so loud mummy couldn’t call because she would be very disappointed.

I really wanted to have the fun of my life and I didn’t even care if I died in there, because I thought that was the real deal nothing more nothing less. I mean what else could life offer you if not the fun.
I took the alcohols, smooched around with some girls, and danced my head off like no one’s business. I tried all the crazy stuff you can think off in the club, yet I wanted something more. Something was definitely missing in the club. My quest and thirst to have a fulfilled fun was never met in the club.
Was so drunk I felt asleep in the club, and had the dream of my life.

 I saw this young man come to me and smile at me like HE is my dad. HE gave me a gaze and said “you will never be fulfilled in this”. We then passed through the VIP section thinking HE was going to introduce me into some much crazy stuff only to realize we had actually gone out of the club.

HE showed me a family who had just finished praying, and HE asked,” What do you see”? I saw smiles, peace, and joy in their lives. They looked so cool and happy without the alcohol, drugs, and the ladies and I was just wowed. Straight away I asked what club was that and HE smiled again and answered; that is the club of fulfillment.

My friend tapped me from my seat in the club to wake up because it was time to leave. As soon as I woke up, I told him JESUS came to the club today. HE laughed his heart out at my dismay and said there was no way JESUS could come here.

Being fulfilled is simply being you and enjoying you. The good book says in HIM we live, move and have our being (paraphrased) acts 17: 28. The only fulfillment you can have as a living entity is hidden in CHRIST JESUS and that is all about it.
Thank you.
