The Reason for The Season

Almighty, you could have snapped us into a blip to avenge for our unruly stubbornness and cruelty. You could have hypnotized us from the beginning of time to follow you with nothing called free will. No urge to disobey, steal or kill. But you chose to send your begotten son.
In the beginning, you could have corrected sin and immorality yet allowed men to dwell in their carnality and later show them your sovereignty. Leaving His comfort zone, He came down to live as one of us.

He was betrayed for a few denominations, chastised on several occasions but chose our salvation over condemnation. And for our sake He was condemned to death. To the wisdom of man, it was an improper fraction but to God a perfect solution.Though sinless and blameless, He bore the crossed burdened with our sins. Under the Heavy cross bathed in blood and sweat, he fell three times yet didn’t give up.

He was poised to accomplish this mission of our salvation. Nailed to the cross, blood oozing from every part of his body, overwhelmed with suffering and the weight of his own body and our sins pulling him down, he bowed his head in death and it was finished. With this blood he changed the subject from sin to grace, giving us rest and freedom from punishment no doubt we deserved. This love was an irrational expression. Christ, zeroed out our every crime, factored us into his lifeline and made us prime. He redefined the divine set and made some addition.

He intercepted destruction with redemption. No mathematician can ever comprehend His formula for this calculation. We were condemned sinners but he kissed death for us to be winners. Embraced the cross so we won’t suffer loss. He was betrayed for meagre shekels so we will be delivered from the devil’s shackles.In his crucifixion and resurrection, we got an eternal inheritance. We were given a precious gift of essence, The Holy Spirit.

He flipped open a new page for the parturition of a new age. He ascended and was crowned with a new name and glory. This is our victory story. This is no fiction. This is a story about how one man carried the sins of the whole world. And through him we have salvation only if we believe and confess He is Lord. He is the reason for this season. It is Easter. Let’s celebrate together.

The Quality of Locally-manufactured Cornmill Grinding Plates

Corn mill A KNUST research has revealed people who consume corn-related foods risk contracting all kinds of cancers According to the research, the locally manufactured machine used to grind the corn into dough food wears off faster into the dry maize, thus contaminating it. A study by two lead researchers at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) has revealed that consumers of corn-related foods risk contracting all kinds of cancers. The research was undertaken by Prof. Kwofie, who is the Dean of the Faculty of Mechanical and Chemical Engineering (former) of the College of Engineering, and Dr. Anthony Andrews (now Professor) , the Head of Department (former)  for Materials Engineering . The study found that the metals used for the milling plates usually wear off when the food products are being grinded. This, the study said, opens consumers to the risk of contracting cancer, since the metals contain 'iron overloads' which are poisonous. ...

WHAT MINDSET HAVE YOU?--By Isaac Asiedu

As Henry Ford said, ‘‘W hether you think you can or you think you can’t, you’re right ’’ . Whatever your mindset is, it affect s  you. Your mindset is the lens through which you perceive the world.

When the Lass I was Loving for Years Finally said Yes!: Episode 3

Episode 3 (Final): The D-Day Presently, both of our families were aware of our relationship. Akos was an only daughter, but not an only child, as she had a brother who was as fine as herself. It seemed to me that fineness ran throughout the family--from dad to mum to children. Akos was much like her mother, and her brother, Yaw, who was older than her, took the form of her father. I had met Yaw a couple of times on campus, when he used to come visit her dear sister. As time elapsed, I became a family friend to the Sarpongs. The D-day finally arrived. I went to Akos’ residence to pick her up for our much anticipated Friday night time-out. Luckily for us it was a holiday, so we both had time to rest from the week’s busi-ness. Of course, holidays bring some delight to those whose weekly schedules are largely occupied by work or school--and without a doubt, the greater joy goes to our dear students. Operation Neptune  arrived at her residence in a black Chevrolet Cruze...

When The Lass I Was Loving for Years Finally Said Yes!: Episode 1

PC: Pinterest Episode 1: Getting Acquainted I sent her a text on WhatsApp, ‘‘Bae, we’ve got a date on Friday night at Sparkles .’’ I’m sure she would have thought it would be one of our usual rendezvous , where we would chit-chat all night long talking about ourselves, among other matters, and getting a bit amorous sometimes, hahaha . But behind the scenes, something spectacular was boiling . She sent a reply, ‘’OK boo. I’m anticipating and will prepare in advance. Love youuu.’’ ‘’Love you bunch,’’ I responded. I was also preparing ahead for this big day where I would pop the question to the love of my life. I couldn’t wait for that grand day--the D-day--to declare myself to my better half. You could imagine all the sponging  and grooming that would go in on my side; and on the other side too, well, I couldn’t really guess. ’’Anticipate’’ was the only option. Akos was a lovely and comely young woman. She was beautiful in every sense of the word. She was tall (I was tal...

My Dearest Naa Ayele 💓

To the girl of my dreams From the guy who believes you’re undeniably enough My Dearest Naa Ayele, If I was your West, would your eyes' sun set on me? If I was your East, would your heart’s sun rise in joy from seeing me? If I was your North, would your life’s compass always point to me? If I promised to forever remain faithful, work on myself, right all my wrongs, worship the very ground you walk on, would your love for me still go south? I don’t remember when we first met or the first words we ever spoke but I swear, my life has never been…no! Scratch that, my life has never been, my life will never be the same. I am only but a man but any time I see you, I feel I am one with the wind – I can fly. I am only a few decades old but I feel I have seen it all when my eyes steal glimpses at you. You embody everything perfect and true and divine and everything twice. You paint my mind with picturesque images only heaven could conjure. Whoever drew your curves has to be ...
