Two things we Prayed...

This is what i Believe; Before the elections Ghanians went on their knees and prayed to God for a Peaceful elections and to elect a Suitable President for us - even though we all had our factions we belonged to. I believe Strongly that God is a Prayer Answering God and has done just that, whether your party won or not.

Now, Unless u believe that God does Not listen to and answer prayers or u believe that Gods answer to a prayer can be Manipulated or Influenced by "Man", then you sure should have No Problem with the outcome of the elections.

In any case we prayed for TWO things; Peace and a Suitable leader. Now you and I can testify that we have seen the Peace, so do u think God will decide to answer our prayers partly.?? That He gave us Peace but with an "Unsuitable" Leader..?? Is that what u think.? Then believing in Him and praying to Him is Not even necessary anymore i guess.?

Indeed, we are different people from different places with different Experiences, Ideas and Preferences yet with "One God". Let this Hate talks and Comments and Insults and Curses CEASE because whether Rigging or Cheating or not, there's NOTHING and i say NOTHING which can happen on the surface of this earth if PapaGod Himself does not allow it.

Cheers to all you People who made Our Peace Possible. U are now Stake Holders of our Peace and ought to keep upholding it No Matter our differences. Lets continue to Cherish in Our Peace as we have done this elections and work together as ONE in Hope that we Achieve the "Better Ghana" Promised Us.

“The Silence Culture”; a major setback to development

I strongly believe that one of the major problems affecting Ghana’s development is something I call “The Silence Culture”.  We have for long  been trained not to ask questions - sometimes even when we have to. Since your childhood days, you’ve been made to be a receiver; if daddy says something, you dare not question because if you do, you might as well build your own house and move in or be prepared to sleep in tears with red buttocks that day. Some call this ‘respect’, but I beg to differ because I believe respect is mutual and not imposed; thus respect is ‘gained’ not ‘forced’. So if daddy speaks and allows you to ask your questions; no matter how silly or unnecessary or even stupid it may seem and he answers you by explaining, first of all you feel accepted and respected and you in turn respect him as well. We have been trained to jump into conclusions without finding out the main motif behind a statement because we are denied questioning.

No wonder the developed countries give us loans and turn round to tell us or decide what we should use the money for. Because we perceive it’s best for us whiles in some cases, it really is not. Foreign countries decide policies for us and we uphold it in good faith. Some of our farmers work so hard to produce something and when their products are being exported to these developed countries, they even go to the extent of telling us how much they will pay for it whiles it’s not same on the reverse. You think these developed countries don’t know that we’re ‘receiver’s’…? Well, they are very much aware of this fact because, ‘producers’ ask questions. Producers ask why, how and even what they can do to impact society and make society a better place to live in. Be it policies or inventions, questions are needed to make it work. I wouldn’t blame our leaders fully for not taking concrete action against such practices by the foreigners. Because they have also been brought up in the same culture and they are just manifesting the ‘silence culture’ (which in this case, the developed country is daddy) at the governmental level.

 

My point is, if you’re ‘shut-up’ right from your developing age, how do you impact your society when you’re matured; because you mature with silence and silence solves nothing. With a ‘silence culture’, how do we generate ideas; how would you produce or do something worthwhile if you don’t ask to know what will really be profitable to people but assume for them? As students, student journalists or future journalists - whichever one you deem describes you best, I urge you to help BREAK that culture to help our nation develop.

Why God Opposes Gayism

On 11th Sept 2011 at church the preacher talked about "The purpose and the power of women" and as she preached through Genesis 2, the Lord gave me a deep insight into something there. You see in Gen 2:18, God said He was going to create a "SUITABLE" helper for man (Adam). In doing this, He went ahead and created "WOMAN". What is the big deal you might ask... Well the Big Deal is, to those who claim 'gay-ism' is OK and, people were born gay and that God see's nothing wrong wit it, and bla bla bla... this are the points.

1. God said He was gonna create a "SUITABLE" helper for man (key word: SUITABLE)

2. God went ahead and created a "WOMAN, a WOMAN, a WOMAN", NOT a "Man" as the

SUITABLE helper for man (i.e. God created the opposite sex for man)

Interpretation:

Unless you want to claim God is foolish (which He of course isn't - 1^st Cor. 1:25) and does not know what is SUITABLE for man, then what you must know is the word SUITABLE there implies; Man may or even 'can' want "ANY" helper for himself (be it an animal, or even a fellow man) but God gave "Woman" as the SUITABLE helper for man. Or maybe you want to claim God does not know "WHATS UP" That's why He created a woman as the suitable helper. But even with that, you got to know He created u in His own image (Gen 1:26 & 27) so it'll mean u are just as "colo" as u think God is...and even MORE....

Bottom line is God does BY NO MEANS agree to gay-ism...no matter the 'Rights' you think or believe you have (Prov 14:12)...Think about it.
