Until death beckons

Life and death the inseparable pair In the former, all is fair Beyond the latter, we despair Ironically, some think otherwise The former and latter each happen once Whether fair or despair, we exist to pay the price From cradle to grave We live, both the fainthearted and the brave Life and death are a must  Move on, Press on, Live on Rise up and grind hard Take that bold step Be carefree, fear no mistakes Be grateful, stay faithful Growth fruitful, live happily Forgiving and Believing We may live long but we die in a dash Then everything will disappear in a flash Smile when you can and blush if need be Let's share the laughter Before dreams shatter And we don't matter anymore Hence, let our today matter more We have much, so life and death expect much in equal measure. Until death beckons, be life's beacon! Credit: Etsy

Cross and Portrait

Then I heard a voice from heaven “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am pleased.” Listen to Him! He who knew no sin became like us But in our daily lives, we struggle to become like Christ We are sinners! Yes, we are a sinner! And we do not deserve how close we have come with you on this journey But your blood has washed and presented us to yourself for your own purpose My Lord, my God! Even under the heavyweight of the cross, your love did not waiver. Yet under its shadows, you still expressed such unconditional love to Veronica Blessing humanity with a godly portrait of your dear scarred face Making use of the blood that gushed from the piercings of the thorny crown and the collage of bruises on your face It reminds me of the value you place on an unworthy son and servants like us But here on earth We have clogged our ears to the wailings of our brothers and sisters We come from all walks of life, sit in these pews and together with the choir we s...

Grace won't give up...

You get to that blank stage of your days There are no definite and constructive descriptions The situation is indescribable, so you just can’t think far Yet you believe “all is well” That’s amazing You don’t deserve it, you received it mysteriously It saved the moment; you had relief of your life You say it’s a divine breakthrough Yes! That’s grace You worry yourself thinking outside the box But in the first place, you never existed inside a box The situation is on the verge of the cliff Amidst giving up, you experienced the unexpected turnaround That’s the amazing grace rescue team at your service Earnestly thrive to be acquainted with it Live each moment building on the rapport Allow it to take the course, follow that path with no doubts Understudy it with rapt attention and willingness to cooperate It won’t give up on you so just give in to it It is amazing It is grace It is amazing grace No theory can explain its ways ...

Transition

The aftermath of the actions we took when we were young, with strong faith, hope, and determination. The decisions we made when we still believed those wild dreams would someday become realities, and oh! they did but not all because, Some faded out silently, some dried up in the desert, others got soaked and settled  at the bottom of the deep blue sea, oops!! Nevertheless, we keep on chasing after those we can, so it becomes a reality. Given the prospects, we have come far enough to give up and we have much more  to cover distance beyond the reach of the eye. Oh! Yes, we can! Marking time on a spotless spot is meaningless So we’re marching on from the right spot to greater heights. Don't throw in the towel in those trying moments, they come once in a while. Work towards success and make it happen. Take cues from how you made it this far, affirm your grounds and carry on.  Worry not because it does not take away tomorrow's trouble but today's ...

Someday....

Future, where are you? How far are you from me? Which planet can I find you on? Do you live in a palace in a strange land with beautiful and hardworking servants? Oh, when would you come to me? Or should I hope for an invitation notice? With my finest clothes, I shall honour your invite if I receive one For I wish to dine at your table if you are a King Thinking about the next step to take, I will pray to the Lord to protect and preserve you for me until we meet. I always dream about you Yet your image is blurry anytime I draw nigh So, hear these words of mine 'I still have faith that I will see you' Anytime we sit by the fireside I begin to smile My elders always tell a story about how bright you are. It is always interesting to listen to your stories and wish that they would never end. Then my elders say, we shall continue next time. They tell me that you await me in the unknown world. Patiently I will wait for you, My elders say to m...

PEACE EQUALS LIFE

IMCS PAX ROMANA PAX GHANA PEACE PROJECT (PAGHAPP) MESSAGE FOR THIS YEAR, 2016 “The mountains and hills may crumble, but my love for you will never end; I will keep forever my promise of peace. So says the Lord who loves you” (Isaiah 54:10). Peace is a necessity.  It is a prerequisite to every final decision and step that to be taken. What more could a community search for? We as a people can fend for ourselves, if they leaders (political parties) believe we need assistance in these days, then it should not be on disguised conditions. In those days and months past, they had much more room to have supported us to make our livelihood better. We know the difference between the sunlight and lanterns. Whereas they pretended not to have been aware of our various needs over the years, we cannot compromise now. Please do not make the generation suffer your nuisance and negligence. Over the years, our leaders in Ghana have in one or another, maltreated and denied us the citiz...

Giving the giver that gives you peace and love from the bosom of the size-less heart all the praise  We are matching up to the ends of the earth to make sure that our task of discipleship really goes aboard; this is the title of our hymn “LIBERATION FOR PEACE”    The Holy Spirit knows boundaries; he cannot be limited in his own jurisdiction. So moving on to proclaim that which we have been taught by the teacher, we shall spearhead the action and affirm someday to come “THAT CHRIST MAY BE IN ALL” Not forgetting to promote the student Apostolate among students in higher education, in the Church’s mission and in the world; we came into existence to continue preaching and teaching the word that have life in itself to manifest wonderful and marvelous things according to the Will of the creator, Our Father... Moreover we recognize and work with all concerned men and women for joint action and reflection leading to a more just and equitable social order a...

There's Hope

J ust in time when you think the obstacles and challenges are too much to bear, there will surely be an alternative way out of that tight corner. There will be someone who will come to your rescue by empowering and encouraging thoroughly through the word of God. The word you will receive will only help transform your current situation if you hold firmly on to your faith. As a Believer, you may be prosecuted for something you never did but it is only a matter of time before it will all be over. God has many ways of testing our faith in him and we only prove that if we continue to endure in these trials. We can be prosecuted but that cannot cause us to be separated from God. Let us strive to strengthen our bond with our neighbours by portraying in action the love for one another and it will surely bring us closer to God. As we persistently share the powerful word of God with our neighbours, we also help others to find answers to their heart desires. Some men of God and missionaries hav...
