🎄WORD OF LIFE🎄

The pregnant clouds embraced a grayish hazy look of a lazy dry air this day, which gives credence to what the weather watchers professed a while ago. The intensity of the harmattan intimacy on our skylines informs us of a nauseating season in our weather. So even as the Word made flesh breathes life and dwells amongst us, let's welcome the Good News of the Son and embrace the season with a calabash of Shea butter and gallons of water, as we try to handle fire with care. Proclaim to all, the visible truth of God's salvation to mankind. Tell the world about the opportunity of eternal life for everyone. Inform nations and all people to prepare for the second coming of the Lord. In fact, just as the harmattan sneaks in, the Lord will certainly come. So let's strive to be good to one another, particularly towards the poor, needy, marginalised, orphans, widows, the sick and those imprisoned. Let's mend our odd ways and endeavour to perfect ourselves. Still wishing y

🎄CHEERFUL WISHES🎄

Be filled with the joy of the birth of a saviour. Be blessed with the peace of the Good News. And be inspired by the love, and eminence Christ Jesus' birth brings to the world. Henceforth, abundance shall be your portion, because it is your birthright. May you encounter a blessed merriness of the season and the joy that comes with it. Happy blessed celebration. God bless you #KYB ✍#

YOUR TIME

Prepare your hearts and heads. Prepare your thoughts and tongues, Because the LORD is kind and faithful to those who keep his covenant. The LORD never forgets those who remember the afflicted and suffering. PRAYER: Eternal King of all nations and people come and save us from our iniquities and sooth our sorrows. At your own time, help us give birth to beautiful fruits like Elizabeth who gave gave birth to John the Baptist. And though we mourn the death of nine Ghanaians who perished in the La Gas explosion last night, it's my prayer that You O! Lord will keep their souls, console the bereaved families and bless us too to be vigilant and extra cautious in our dealings.🙏🏿 Remain blessed. #KYB ✍🏿#

DUTY TO SERVE

In the discharge of our various duties; In living our various roles as a people, We one way or the other fail to appreciate the fact that we are part of a bigger group and that our actions and inactions affect others. And those who are lucky to know this truth, equally fail to appreciate the true cost of pride and complacency. Sometimes it is a silky bliss of folly to think that we'll maintain our positions forever, or always be the superiors. Sometimes we so much want to control things with our little positions of influence, when in reality we still don't control when we must sleep or wake. Sometimes we truly want to predict happenings of the next moment, the next hour and the future, when in reality we are only stewards entrusted with a duty to serve. God the supreme is still in charge and in control. So appreciating the truth of our being and acknowledging the fact that we are here to serve is vital. And like Christ Jesus, we all have a duty to serve and a mission to

GIFT OF GRACE

The Sun yawned with a glowing smile again, while the clouds danced along to the live tunes of grace this day. As we look forward to a blissful day, with  thankful hearts for the gift of life , may we be receptive to the redemptive hope of glory. May Yahweh strengthen us to be good people. May He be merciful on us and bath us with His fulfilling grace. Be blessed and have a blissful day. Good morning💥🌹 #KYB ✍#

EXPECTANT HOPE

Observe what is right and good. Do what is just and appropriate. Act conscientiously and be kind. Live every moment and be yourself. Try to be fair even to your enemies. Always maintain your composure when you experience life's challenges. Keep a humble deposition every moment. Be blessed in your endeavour and be ready to experience the rebirth of our eternal redemption. TGIF Remain Blessed #KYB ✍🏿#

CONGRATULATORY NOTE

It was an intense contest of ideals, ideas and virtues of quality leadership. And Ghanaians on Wednesday, gave their verdict. The people spoke. Congratulations to all Ghanaians for showing the world we are capable of making decisions without fighting. Congratulations to the President elect William Nana Addo Dankwa Akuffo-Addo for being courageous and persistent in putting up himself for the race several times. Congratulations to President John Dramani Mahama for gracefully accepting the verdict of the people. Congratulations to the Electoral Commission for refereeing the polls amidst the pressure. Congratulations to the media and all observers for following the process with keen interest. Yes we voted for change in our political leadership, but let this vote inspire an attitudinal, behavioural, systematic, mental and economic change and reform in our country. We all must be ready to support authentic change in every sphere of our engagement. Long live Ghana Long live Afrika.

🇭COUNTING TRENDS

The frequency in tallying the numbers trickled inn from every part. Officials walked and watched the time of the flow as the night stretched its arms into days, while the agents and the observers refused to blink their eyes. The fatigued smiles of people policing the polls through the tense vigil hours, makes the game interesting. We may hear the affairs of Wednesday in no time, even as the counting trends teases anxiety in our hearts. But wherever or whoever you stand for, remain calm. And remember that whatever happens from tomorrow, let us live as a unique people to continue the task of nation building. We all have a duty to forge ahead and work together. Ghana needs us all alive. So keep the peace and take care of yourself. God bless you. Good evening🇬🇭 #KYB ✍#

DEMOCRACY OF ELECTIONS

🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🕸🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭 Did I hear the Democrats belch? Did I hear the Patriots chuckle? Or did I hear the hissing of the Nationalists? We have heard and overheard their loud pleas for votes with their various voices. We have listened to their hourly sweet persuasive words and reasons in our cottages, hamlet, villages, ghettos, towns and cities. We debated the possibility and impossibility of their views and propositions. And they all begged for our votes or endorsement after telling us how they uniquely love us, while mocking and exposing the sins of their opponents. But what none of them is telling us is their true motive for seeking power or wanting to stay on in power. The terrible truth however is that our leaders are seeking to be Lords instead of be the sensitive Servants they ought to be. A lot of interests come to play in the scheme of affairs, and I doubt if this democracy of elections is actually helping us address the real challenges we face as a society. It i

THE SAVING HOPE

With this day of hope coming in its glory, May Yahweh strengthen feeble hands and make firm weak knees. May He comfort the afflicted and make us strong in the face of  fear to enable us navigate through the course of time. May the fusion of faithful love and loyalty, make saving justice and peace embrace. And as we renounce our folly ways, may Yahweh's peace touch our souls and guide our thought to receive His saving hope. God bless you and have a blissful day, even as you cherish the peace. 🌸 #KYB ✍🏿#

SOMETHING NEW

Something new crawled up. Something good is happening, Even as something new visit this day. December comes with renewed hope and many prospects. December walks in with new cheers of gratitude. December is certainly a decider. Decide to be fair, just and calm. Decide to keep the peace we desire our future to remember this December. Take care and have a blessed month.🌰🌷 #KYB✍🏿 signs#

WHERE DO WE STAND?

"Do your best" is a silent motto some friends shared in the early 90s. They strived to be the very best even in the very bad things they planned doing and got the needed attention they didn't bargain for. Over the years we hear how people with names in business, politics, media, religion and other spheres of endeavour, try their very best in life to maintain their influence and keep their position. Yet we have seen and heard serious and disturbing rhetorics of what we ought to do to be the best and how we have to do it well, only for us to arrive on the scene and perpetuate the same old order. And for the past 59 years of our nationhood most of us have been talking and following the same old pattern of import led economy. We have been talking about the beautiful misfit in our lives, while a huge deficit of our needs still hangs in the air. We have been clapping and celebrating all the time, when we are least regarded in the world. We have been talking and talking

CLOUDS OF HOPE

The white clouds danced again, And bears our hope in curves of trust. The white clouds sits up there beaming with a graceful smile on a Tuesday. The skies look happy even with our various disagreeing testaments. And though the build up may be tense, Stay out of trouble, keep the peace and cherish the smiles even in our diversity, because we are one people. May the LORD be kind to you and guide your steps this day. Good morning & Remain Blessed #KYB ✍ #

SHADES OF JUDGEMENT

It was an interesting evening encounter with a woman in her late 30s yesterday. I was tired after the day's rounds, so I was looking forward to a peaceful journey, when I sat by the woman. Then she dozed off and woke up after 20 minutes complaining of her missing phone. She asked me to assist her with my touch light to search for her phone. I gladly did, but she couldn't find her phone. And since the vehicle was in motion, I advised her to wait and conduct a thorough search when the vehicle stopped at its next stop. She was not pleased and kept theorising why the phone couldn't make noise if it really did fell from her hand onto the floor of the bus. She concluded that I was the one who picked her phone. I decided not to comment, though I took offense to what she said. But the manner in which her sister sitting in front of us agreed with her that I was the culprit in their dialect shocked me. So I protested and replied them in their dialect registering my displeasur

MEANINGFUL EDUCATION

Education without a goal is meaningless. Education without a deliberate attempt to form a good people is a failure. Education without the right moral keys to direct our affairs is a disaster. Education without the right content to inspire a people to love and serve the good of a nation is a nonstarter. Education that only focuses on success without the necessary tools to examine our shortcomings, and think of finite ways of addressing our odd ways is problematic. Education that makes us dependent on pamphlets, handouts and makes us first grade copycats is not only worrying but dehumanising. Education that makes us half baked intellectuals who are conscious of perfect result from a knee jerk approach to an ailing education that lacks strategic ways of addressing issues is sickening and disturbing. And it is not surprising that our system has trained self seeking, greedy, dishonest intellectual thieves, who are hailed by a somewhat gullible public of equal guilt. We need a holisti

PUT IN YOUR BEST'

With a dawn gradually graduating into a new day, do remember to put in your very best in all your endeavours. Remember to make your best contribution today. Step out with courage to make the best of this day. Good morning & Remain Blessed #KYB ✍#

👏🏿EPISTLE OF APPRECIATION👏🏿

🌷I am 'flabberwhelmed' by all the beautiful wishes and kind words you sent me today. 🌷I am inundated by all your silent sanctifying prayers. 🌷I am greatly indebted to you for your love, concern and kind support over this while. 👏🏿And indeed my gratitude is not enough to express all my  appreciation. 🎙Songs of praises are not enough to thank God and you for all you are to me. 👏🏿With a sincere heartfelt❣ gratitude, kindly accept my appreciation, for the good wishes, the love, prayers, support, time and assistance that contributed in making this day a memorable Remembrance Day. May God also bless and remember you in all your endeavours. I am grateful .🌹🌹🌹 Yours me, (KYB✍🏿😘)

MARVELLOUS DAY

And the rays of its light filtered through the skies, casting out the dark shadows of fear. And we call it a daylight🌞 But have you seen the true nature of a daylight? Have you seen the beauty of this day? Have you wandered why it's so? Many of us don't like Mondays for obvious reasons but let's always: Thank God for giving us sight to see the glory of this day; And thank Him for nursing in us resilient faith to believe in His Providence. Let's bless the name of the Lord for giving us this day. Let's thank God for giving us sight to see the light of the newness of this day. Have a marvellous day and be blessed. Good morning.🌸 #KYB ✍🏿#

GARMENT OF HOPE

Duty called this morning and we moved. Evening crawled inn and we called it a day. How was your day? I trust it went well? It might be tiresome but try examining your life in line with the gift of life. Remember how you accepted the call to live this day. Remember the minor details of your day and reflect on God's care for you. Remember the earnest effort you are making in seeking your dreams and be watchful in your dealings for God is still assessing your works. Remember how you heard, accepted and kept His Word all this while, so that we may not depart from right way. In same manner let's mend our odd ways and consistently strive to perfect our lot and keep the garments of our hearts clean. Good evening blessed one. Have a peaceful relaxation. 🌰 #KYB ✍#

DON'T BE SURPRISED

Were you surprised about the outcome? Were you surprised by the turn of event? Were you surprised by the trend of how it all happened? Perhaps we all heard the currents of waves yesterday, which traveled through the night. Perhaps we all saw the dancing results from the kingmakers, who spoke like their forebears. And the victory message echoed a warm gratitude to all who supported the movement. With a cheerful heart, kindly permit me to also recognised you this evening: Thank you for being part of the people who held my hand to walk. Thank you for your role in helping me to talk and talk well. Thank you for helping me learn the discipline of reading, reasoning and thinking in order to write. Thank you for challenging me to listen more and voice my thoughts. Thanks for being part of the wonderful people, I relate with every now and then. Thanks for accepting me as a son, brother, friend and fellow human being. Thanks for the important impact you are making on this pilgrimag

TO THE PEOPLE OF PEOPLE

Once upon a time, in the late 50s a missionary's desire to serve the health needs of a people in remote areas somewhere in Ghana brought him and his collaborators to the heart of a village. They left their comfort zones miles away in order to put smiles on many faces. Through courageous faith and consistent efforts of the pacesetters, as well as the commitment and support of the people at every stage, the facility became a big three that offered healing, compassion and love, training/education, employment, experience and an environment for people to live and grow. It is interesting how yours sincerely, also had the benefit of enjoying the shades and fruits of this project of the missionaries many years on. So we lived and learned a great deal of lessons from our association with our neighbours there. The health workers and health seekers, the orderlies, the food vendors, the drivers, school mates, market women, the priests, relatives, friends, teachers, Christians, Muslims and t

WITH A DEDICATED SMILE

A dedicated thought of the Faith of our Fathers; the mettle of our Mothers, the essence of our Elders, the compassion of our Compatriots and all our Collaborators for all their contributions to bringing us this far, we salute them all. May their contributions spur us on to become better people to shine as the light of the world, even as we strive to uphold the word of life. Be blessed. Greetings 🌺 #KYB ✍#

WARM THOUGHTS

While minutes seek the counts of moments in days, weeks and months, the shadows of years still tickle a lively tune. And tallying the countless blessings of every stage of this journey is perhaps a difficult task to behold. But with warm thoughts of affection, let celebrate the Almighty Eternal FATHER of our forefathers and the mother of our 'foremothers', who planted humanity here and blessed mankind with resilient faith to be part of a rich history of procreators. Let every tongue thank God for His undying love, mercies and kindness. Let every lip proclaim His goodness in an unending praise, because He has not condemned us for all our unworthy ways. Be blessed. Good evening👐🏿 #KYB ✍#

WORRYING CHANGES NOTHING

Every day comes with its share of challenges, so why worry? It is likely everyone faces a peculiar problem, so why worry? Worrying doesn't change anything, it rather worsens our conditions. Worrying won't solve anything. The best thing we get from worrying about anything is that it amplifies the magnitude of what we might be worrying about. So stop worrying, reflect more, pray more and do your best wherever you find yourself. Have a blessed weekend and cool night. 👏🏿🌚 #KYB ✍#

FULFILLING DEED

As warm rays stream into the moments of a Monday, be encouraged to do a selfless deed for others. May God fulfil every good intention you have and make you a blessing onto others. Take care and Remain Blessed.🌹 #KYB✍#

TAKE CARE

The world doesn't care whether you sleep or stand, but take care of yourself. The world doesn't care whether you rest or not or whether you're hungry or not, but take care of yourself. The world is not worried about what is running through your thought, but take care of what you think. The world is not interested in listening to your heartbeats or what you're saying, but you take care of how, when and where you say what you say. The world is not caring, empathetic or understanding of your plight, so you better take care of yourself. In their quest to seek our mandate to govern us, I can't confirm they truly care for us, as they claim, but let's still take care of ourselves, because all they care about is to gain control and rule and not to truly serve. Sometimes, people care because they genuinely care or because they have a hidden motive for caring, but take care of how you relate with them. It is sad how people clamour for material things and seek mo

REMEMBER THEM

A while ago, they walked, talked and stalked time. A while ago, they lived, believed and smiled with us. A while ago, they wept, crept and kept faith in an undying hope. A while ago, O! just a while ago, they breathed the moments of sweet sufferings and strange struggles of the hour. A while ago, they also enjoyed and endured joys of transient trivialities of life, our insensitive reactions, stereotypes, and prejudices of humanity.  But today, they are long gone with the whistle of time. Today they've long kissed the ashes of eternity. Today they've gone home to their maker. If for nothing at all, remember they walked this path before. If for nothing at all, remember they're with us yesterday. If for nothing at all, remember they're a part of our many stories. If for nothing at all, remember they somehow contributed to where we are now. If for nothing at all, remember that we shall all vacate this space one day, and please don't ask me when, because I do

YOU'RE WELCOME

Step by step we've walk inn. Day by day we are here by God's grace. Thank God for bringing us to the beauty of this new day and month. It's a month of spiritual awakening, packed with action to continue the progress march. It's a period to remain mindful and concentrate on correct conduct and right action for an accelerated growth. So tap into the abundant grace of God's Love for us and make the gains you ought to make. Tap into the divine influence to give impetus to your natural talents and bless others with genuine care. And tap into your personal soul mission to manifest your enate drive to be that excellent person you always dream of being. Take it easy with yourself even as you transit into this age of positivism and enlightenment. May divine favour smile on you even as we walk into the bosom of November. You're welcome to the penultimate month of the year. Take care & Remain Blessed🍇 #KYB ✍#

REMAIN BLESSED

Walk in the splendor of hope and be cleansed by the blessing of God's Divine Word. Be renewed by the alluring grace of God's undying Love and be sanctified by the rich rays of His eternal light. Be blessed and walk with the insight that you're a child of God. Take care & have a peaceful day.🌺 #KYB ✍#

HOPEFUL CHEERS

The beams of hope peaks every morning. Something new comes with each new day, so as you walk the length of this day, may you be a blessing unto someone and keep a hopeful cheer. Welcome to Monday. Take care & Remain blessed.💦🌸 #KYB ✍#

BEYOND REHEARSALS

Choristers rehearse in order to stage a good performance. Choreographers practice to perform well. Musicians, speakers, chefs, drivers, technocrats, scientists, engineers, writers, teachers, etcetera, consistently prepare themselves to do what they do. That is same in life too. Although I can't pretend to know the length of days we will live here on earth, we are required to make the right investments in our lives and in that of our relationships. This is because every step in this pilgrimage is part of the preparation and processes for our betterment. However, there is a prize beyond our daily rehearsals. And beyond the prize, there is the Supreme Creator's purpose for bringing us here and for making us live in the glory of this new day. So whatever the prize is in every endeavour, PLEASE let's make sure we're in tuned with the Creator's WILL. Let's make sure we  DON'T abuse the Grace of God in our lives. Let's make sure we constantly REPENT fro

HOPEFUL CHEERS

POSITIVE VIBRATION

Embrace the morning glory of this new day with positive hope. Hug the blessings God grants in this beautiful day, in accordance with the riches of His eternal glory. Be strengthened with power through his Spirit and be grounded and filled with love and a depth of knowledge to see the  fullness of God's vision in your life. May the flames of this renewed baptism of hope, set you apart to accomplish far more greater things than what you've prayed for in faith (See Eph 3: 14-21). And may the Almighty Father who gave us the gift of this new day bless and protect us all. Amen. Good morning & be blessed abundantly.💦 Take Care.🌱 #KYB ✍#

FOR YOUR RELAXATION

Taking a break from your daily routine is  not only important for your health, but vital for the overall progress of whatever you're doing. Take your evening relaxation seriously, while you spend some quality time with your love ones. Good evening. 🌹Take Care & Remain Blessed.🌺🙏🏿 #KYB ✍🏿#

LASTING LEGACIES

You are among the chosen few to go and witness with your life today. You are the very one God selected and entrusted with that special mission to go and yield fruits. Yours is to leave lasting legacies in whatever you do. May the Almighty stand by you, strengthen and empower you in all your endeavours so that you may bear lasting fruits. Greetings. Remain blessed🌷 #KYB ✍ #

POSITIVE VIBES

The sun has gone to rest again, and the birds and millions of people are contemplating a blissful and necessary rest. Thank God for bringing us to another calm evening and putting us in the rest mood. With all the the day's event slowing down, I know you've done your best, and that you can only hopefully expect the best tomorrow, which is also not promised. However you and I have a charge to look at the positive side of our efforts and concentrate on the good effects we desire, while giving less attention to what didn't work or what we failed to accomplish. Good evening and Remain Blessed.👏🏿🍂 #KYB ✍#

BRAVE HOPE

Bravery is nothing but our willingness to be in tune with all our faculties to pursue our beautiful vision. We all have to brace ourselves for the challenge that will come anytime, any day while keeping a sound hope in our conviction of staying true to our ultimate mission. Be focused.

PLAY IT SKILLFULLY

We learn in the open school of strategic studies of life the essence of self-control, discipline and the very understanding of our true purpose. That we cannot prevent God from blessing us with happy rains or prevent the tides of life from blowing; we have a duty to: 1. Watch what we say or do whenever we are excited or happy; 2. Watch how we think, act or speak whenever we become emotional or traumatised; 3. Watch our utterances and reactions whenever we become angry or are provoked. We are encouraged to strive to keep a sane balance and a calm composure even as we pull the strings and play our stakes in life skillfully. Take care. Remain Blessed.👏🏿🌷🌹 #KYB ✍#

REVERENT FEAR

Brace yourself for another Friday fatigue with some friendly fixtures. Float on the fringes of faint realities and do all in your zeal to guard your reputation. We all have fears. We have certain things we fear in life. But it's interesting how we continue to fear and worship the fatigued clichés of life and death, while pretending to be champions. It's funny how our romantic answers, still tease the correct lies in our friendly facts. It's funny how our diplomatic appropriateness still betray the careless whispers behind closed doors. It's intriguing how we allow the fear of trivial things to bastardize our peace. Fear can defeat us long before we fail. Fear is a terrible enemy to our progress. So fear not but cultivate a reverent fear for Yahweh your God, and keep walking on the good path. Revere His glory and His awesome nature every day and night. Have a big heart and fear not to take that great steps. Good evening . #KYB ✍#

TRANSMISSION CODE

What's in the air? What's the colour of the air? What do you see in the sky? At any given moment, we are likely to be perceiving something, or transmitting, intercepting or receiving messages. Whatever message it is that we are transmitting, let us be sensitive about how we go about it; be selective about what we transmit, how and when we receive the messages we hear; and be mindful of what we recall and at what time we do that. Thanks for reading. Have a terrific Thursday. Remain blessed👏🏿🌸 #KYB ✍ #

DUTY OF CARE

Pay attention to the charge of care, And be receptive to the fruits of the Spirit, which is seen in unconditional love, internal peace, an enduring patience, warm kindness, generosity, gentleness and self-control. As you walk into this new day, please be attentive to the lessons of life, while you keep a sane balance. Be fruitful this day. Remain blessed🍓 #KYB ✍🏿#

FORGET NOT

Can you comprehend all that happens within a second or minute throughout the world? Can you really explain how, who and what still sustains and steers life through all the ages and generations? Can you phantom the amount of energy, efforts and time invested in creating you? Can you measure the quantum of care, love and grace God Almighty has blessed us with? He is that kind God who still journey with us day and night. He is that healer who heals us of all our afflictions. He is still the Living God who wakes us up from our sleep every day. We cannot count all the blessings He pours on our path. We cannot fully quantify all His good deeds in our lives. And although we cannot fully understand all His intricate ways, and grasp the meanings of all the events of life, we still have to make time to thank Him. In his 1st Letter to the Thessalonians, St. Paul entreats us to always give thanks to God in all circumstances (see 1 Thess 5:18). So do not forget to thank God for how far H

SUNDOWN AT SUSUANSO

The surprise sting of sorrow saddled the smiles of a son. A sundown at Susuanso sunk the stint of a sojourner. On soulful strings of silent steps the soul salute the giver of life. But on the fringes of tides, society still stalks time with sticky notes of sweet touchy memories of sympathies of simple farewell customs. As the Sun goes to sleep at Sandema, Savelugu, Saviefe, Sakumono, Santrokofi, South Suntreso, Shama, Sekondi, Sirigu, Suhum and even at Susuanso, may we never forget to always prepare for that solemn evening in our lives.💧 Have a blessed evening. #KYB ✍🏿#

GOD'S HAND

No matter the detours in life, keep your sail towards that progressive end. Listen to the heartbeats of the waves of life and motion steadily. Be humble in your dealings and do make sure the hand of God influences all your moves, as you steer your life along the path of authentic growth. TGIF. Remain blessed.👏🏿🌷 #KYB ✍#

PERSISTENT TRIALS

Excellence comes with the courage and determination to pursue the best in the things we do. Perfection comes with the zeal to keep trying to excel no matter the challenge. It is true that nothing comes easy but we have hope that every new day is an opportunity to paddle the pedals of optimism. Every day is a privilege to pursue the ultimate. So keep seeking what you genuinely desire. Keep searching for the good things in life and you will find them. Persevere in your prayers to God and persist in your quest to be better. Remain blessed and have a great day. 🌺 #KYB ✍#

VALUING OUR TEACHERS

They come with unique names, at different times and in diverse spaces. They come with various styles and demeanour. And they also have feelings, biases, idiosyncrasies and thoughts. We may not always like their approach in dealing with us. We may not always admire the way they tried correcting our incorrectness. We may not even approve the way they taunted our mischievous tendencies. But can we say with all honesty, that they didn't perform their task well? Some of these teachers are our parents, catechists, tutors, lecturers, priests, pastors, imams, community leaders, friends, children, elders, our enemies, God the Almighty and our natural environment. Undoubtedly they all qualify as our teachers, in how they directly or indirectly affected a nd helped us in learning new things. Indeed, having come this far in life, we cannot write off their various contributions or even measure the influence they exerted on our lives. Our teachers in our school system and even beyond t

SUBTLE VOICE

A subtle voice of hope is in the air. A gentle touch of a saints visit our day. A tender thought of a people is alive. But please be careful about how you walk. Be mindful of how you do what you do. Be cautious of what to say and when to say what you say. Beware of the time we live in and take care not to lose the good values you've learned yesterday. At all times, let's remember to pray the Lord to make us instruments of peace, who breathe hope, love and mercy in our society, and sheds light of authentic care to all. May the Lord increase our faith and sustain us. Stay blessed. #KYB ✍#

GOOD NEIGHBOURLINESS

To live is to express our uniqueness. However we look at it, our relationships with God, our neighbours and ourselves, edifies our lives. But our upbringing by default makes us see those we know as our neighbours. In fact, a critical examination of our relationships with each other reveals that there are friendship with benefits, while some are good, and awkward with funny motives of others. But be a good and kind neighbour to all you meet this day not only to those you know. Respect your neighbours but be tactful and cautious in how you deal with them. I trust you had a wonderful weekend? Good afternoon and endeavour to be a good neighbour today. 🌹 #KYB ✍🏿#

GREAT PEOPLE

By the blessing of the gift of this day, we thank God. By His care in guiding us to this new month, may we be ever ready to:                                                                                                 Obtain a                                         Certain                                  Transformative                            Oughtness of                        Being                   Efficient in our             Renewal everyday to be good. May the blessings Yahweh pours in October (originally the eight month) bring us to the light of realising that we are a people destined for greatness and glory. Good evening & have a blissful month. #KYB ✍#

ARISE WITH HOPE

Rationally it's good to question why things happen the way they do. Academically it's stimulating to engage our mental faculties to understand why things happen the way they do. Humanly speaking it's interesting how we excessively complain, nag, lament or even apportion blame on others for causing strange things that happen in our lives and in our society. As righteous as he was, Job also lamented about his predicament. And the LORD addressed Job out of the storm and said: ``Have you ever in your lifetime commanded the morning and shown the dawn its place, For taking hold of the ends of the earth, till the wicked are shaken from its surface?"(see Job 38:1,12-21). As a loving God, who created us in His image, we cannot understand every happening in this life but He reminds us of our worth to overcome the challenges we have allowed to molest us. So arise with hope to command the morning in your favour. Arise with renewed hope to see the brighter side of you

CHIEF ATTRIBUTE

With warm smiles, we greet a tired evening character, which still mirrors a beautiful attitude of hope. Even as we commend our resilience in living this day, may our Chief attribute this evening be that of gratitude to the good God for caring to bring us this far. I trust your day went well? Good evening 🌹 #KYB ✍🏿#

BE PATIENT

Good morning beloved. I trust you had a blissful rest? It is my prayer you're renewed in the glory of this new day. Be filled with the hope that comes with this morning. Be patient when the tides of life hit you. Be patient when troubles visit you. Be patient when disappointments come your way or when you're denied any position or reception or what's due you. Be humble and patient at all times to learn the lessons inherent in your encounters so that you may be well prepared for what you're destined for. Never be desperate for anything in life. Never relent in your prayers and in caring for all that you're entrusted with. Keep a calm balance in this pilgrimage, because you're special and destined for great things. ☀ Have a blessed day. Good day. #KYB ✍#

RIGHTEOUS HOPE

Almighty and everliving God, Kindly keep us under your wings this day. Protect and guide us in all our endeavours. Prosper the work of our hands and make us fruitful. Replace our stony hearts with humble ones and help us avoid the spirit of complacency. In your kindness, bless the steps we take this week and sustain in us the hope to always be a righteous people. Good day👍🏿 #KYB#

ON PROGRESS

Democracy without discipline is dangerous. Rights without responsibility is risky. Religion without responsive action is a disaster. Reform without a holistic vision of betterment for all is perilous.   Politics without patriotic people is an incurable plague. Education without lasting evolutionary values is a calamity. Independence without a collective will to work for the common good is hazardous. A Nation without firm character is an unsafe venture. Prayers without a commitment to do what is right is a tragedy.                                                                                                                 -KYB

WATCH THE TIME

The events that happened on 6th March 1884, 6th March 1957; 24th February 1966; 31st December 1981; 9th May 2001, 11th September 2001; 3rd June 2015 among others are inked on the slate of time. Every event or happening in every day occurs within time. Similar recurring events happen with time. But none escapes the close watch of God the Creator. Through all ages, time has kept with us. There is time for everything under the Sun. There is time to be born and there is time to die. There's time to enter and there's time to exit. There is time to laugh and make merry, and there is time to weep and mourn. There's time to wake up and there is time sleep or rest. There is time to plant and there's time to harvest. There are times we become sick, tired and bored, and there are times we become elated, happy and very delighted. As we embrace the morning glory some hours ago, another Friday evening too is here again. There is no certainty that we will all be at our

DO SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL

Image
Tomorrow is not promised but we've got the gift of this day to live. To a large extent everything is vanity and it is uncertain whether the next two generations will even remember us for our deed, but we've got to do something beautiful today. We've got to plant good seeds today. We have to cultivate good relationships with others in order to swim through the tides. May God our help and refuge through all ages continue to guide us into this day. May He teach us the essence of being modest in our search for material things to preserve the common good. And may we never forget that everything has a lifespan, so let's do something beautiful today to the glory of God. Be Blessed.☀  #KYB ✍#

POSITIVE CONSCIOUSNESS

Legends are born in every generation. Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah was one of them and you are the other legend yet to be discovered.  It's true Dr. Nkrumah understood his call and worked towards it. And even with such exceptional qualities, and God's favour, he still needed to work with people to attain the level of development he brought to Ghana and the consciousness he raised among Afrikans and the world at large. People are important in every progress march, that's why I still believe in you as a capable member of this progressive force. And I have no doubt in my mind that we are a blessed but strange people. I have never doubted in our collective ability to do great things. I have a firm conviction that we can do a lot more for ourselves if we change our mindsets, rethink our actions and learn from the man we honour this day and from other patriots. I have this believe that we can generate unique home grown plans and create the things we need for our betterment.

TREASURE YOUR LIFE

There is no doubt life is a pilgrimage. And every passing day is part of this walk. So let us value life and the daily investments we make, even as we protect and treasure our reputations and gains. Good evening. God bless you #KYB ✍#

RESILIENT CHARACTER

Every individual exhibits a unique character. Every institution projects a particular character. Every community and society or system and organisation or nation have a character grounded on certain key fundamental believes, norms, rules, experiences and aspirations. There is no doubt that our thoughts and consistent practices reflect in our character, and grows into habits which ultimately defines our destiny as a people. It is also true that our individual character in a way contribute in defining our collective character as a people, be it good or bad. It is true we may sometimes be choked by the complexities and anxieties of life that could affect our character. But to build a lasting and resilient character as individuals and as a nation, we must revisit our values of discipline, honesty, integrity and respect that promotes the love for God and country. The purpose of all training and teachings we have received and continue to learn at our homes, schools, and work places, o

THOUGHTS of HOPE

Good evening to you. How was your day? I hope it went well? That our efforts would yield dividend & the best of results we hope for in all that we do, please let us think through our efforts, even as the day embraces the evening of dreams. May the darkness of the shadows of our progress vanish before the eternal light of God. 🙏🏿 And may the Almighty Father guide us to grow wiser to do the things we ought to do for our common good. Remain Blessed as always. #KYB ✍#

THE 11TH WISH

🌱I wish we won't have to work too hard that we forget to enjoy every passing moment. 🌱I wish we would have the courage to express our true feelings without any fears. 🌱I wish we would be more happier in this life, without having to copy the odd ways of others. 🌱I wish we would be fearless and live our dreams as we ought to in accordance to God's design and will. 🌱I wish we would cherish the little grains we have made in life, and stay focus to work for our eternal salvation. 🌱I wish we would not always wish to live authentic lives but live it in our small ways. 🌱I wish we can still keep those beautiful smiles through every phase of our life. 🌱I wish we can still keep a cheerful heart and appreciate the lessons in every challenge we go through. 🌱I wish we can still live a more honest humble lives and respect God, ourselves and others, including our environment. 🌱I wish we can still build on our hospitable nation, not just in words but with authentic deeds and

*SACRIFICE FOR PROGRESS*

In our everyday life, we breath it. In our daily struggles to succeed, we smell it. We even embrace it in our attempt to reach our dreams. We also live it, whenever we make choices or decisions in every situation. In fact, every grain of grace comes with a silent requirement of sacrifice. Every venture of endeavour, requires a salient sacrifice of time and effort. It is hidden in our efforts to live our duties, roles, rights and responsibilities. It is even present when we decide to do nothing in this life. There's an element of sacrifice in every story or history. And even though I might not know the true price of sacrifice in everyone's story or life, we are reminded of Father Abraham's faith & his obedience to carry out God's command. We are reminded of several significant sacrifices made by great leaders of religion and others in many fields. We are equally reminded of the sacrifices our parents, relatives, friends and teachers make in our lives and

I BELIEVE IN YOU

I don't know why I keep thinking of you every now & then. I don't know why I keep seeing this shine in your eyes. I can't explain why this beautiful vision keep visiting my mind. I may not know all your plans, routines for this wondrous gift of a day. I may not know your challenges or where you're going or what you intend doing this day. But I trust you're doing well? In telling you: YOU ARE SPECIAL in an Evening Creed on Friday 2 September, I knew I have to add this side to it too. So with your kind permission, please let me bore you a little with a firm believe I have courted all this while. Yes, I believe in God our Creator, who created and blessed us with the Breath of Life. Beside the above, I have a firm believe that God has blessed us with something special this day. And I believe in you're not only special but you're blessed with unique abilities as a person. I believe in your lovely vision & dreams. I believe your heart can still

*TUESDAY TIDE*

Did the tied tricky tide of promises visit your ears today? Did you see how the mysterious hand of time chase away our lively morning smiles? Did you experience the changes in the weather and the colourful clouds? As we rewind with the familiar evening breeze, may we remember our duty to be holy, peaceful  & loving people. I hope you had a good day? Have a peaceful night. Good evening🌺 #KYB ✍🏿 #

LIGHT NOTE

As the bright skylight shines again with hope, may God guide and sustain us in our walk. And may He lead us in His justice. Amen.🙏🏿 Remain Blessed. Greetings👐🏿 #KYB ✍🏿 #

IN HONOUR OF HOPE

With every stroke of the hour, Comes very subtle strings of sweet-sad streaks, stalking our smiles with sorrowful stints, even on Saturdays. We cannot explain the why's in the reasons of the trends, because that's the strangeness about life's mystery. But through the changing scenes of life, please hold high the honour in good values. Hold the hands of HOPE to tread this path, and do embrace the warmth in wisdom and cherish the virtues of patience, humility & courage in your discourse with time. May the saving grace of God shine on you, to continue walking. May the good Lord bless you with serene spirit to enable you stay strong & be positive in the face of all challenges. Remain Blessed. Good evening🌚 #KYB ✍🏿 #

YOU ARE SPECIAL

It's true we have challenges. It's true we have mild and wild interests. It's true we have different attitudes and ambitions. It's true we can control most of our reactions, even though we are unlikely to control all the happenings in our lives. It's true some of our experiences can be painful, difficult and unbearable at times. But remember you are specially created for a special purpose, so keep searching. You are uniquely made for a unique duty, so keep learning. You are wondrously made for a wonderful cause, so keep walking. You are here because you're destined to live in this time and age, and not just here by accident. You are born into a people's family of people and relations, so respect the lines. Remember that every experience, be it good or bad is part of the process you must undergo to tell your story some day. Remember the Lord your God and keep intensifying your efforts. Remember to acknowledge all those who were good to you and ne

BLESSED MONTH

Step by step, we've stepped into the bosom of a special September. Be blessed  and always : S-trive to E-volve a P-ositive T-iming to E-ntertain the M-ighty B-lessings of E-ternal R-elevance. May God's grace locate you & sustain you in all your worthy endeavours. Good morning & have blessed Month. 🌷🌸 #KYB ✍🏿 #

GREAT TEAM

It can be a bit complicated understanding our roles in advancing the betterment of our common good. For instance, in the proclamation of the Good News, we know the minor negatives that cast a dark shadow on the whole salvation agenda. We also know that our pacesetters work is complemented by those who water the seed, and care for its growth, until  maturity or harvest time. However we look at it, we are all stewards entrusted with wonderful energies, talents and strengths to serve our common good in our various teams. Aside the thorny issue of recognition, and respect of what each member brings on board in the discharge of our roles, the other silent but big issue confronting any team has to do with attribution and reward. But that we are part of that blessed great team, it behooves us to work together to complement each other's work to advance our common good. Good evening.🕸 #KYB ✍🏿 #

TRUE IDENTITY

We have a common identity in our humanity. Our unique diversity give us a beautiful identity too. And although it's true that we have multiple identities that manifest from time to time, we cannot hide our true identity as a people. Rain or shine our true identity reflect our spiritual significance in a way. It is my prayer our true identity help us stamp out the greedy demons from our hearts. May the coming of this chilly evening, refresh & spark a renewed revival in our human identity. Have a blissful rest. Good evening. 🌚 #KYB ✍🏿 #

BEST WAY

In every situation, In every circumstance, And in every challenge, There is the best way of handling things. May we therefore demonstrate the living zeal of the Divine spirit in us this week. And may we uphold the truth and be humane in all our dealings. Have a blessed week. Greetings🌸🌷 #KYB ✍🏿 #

FAITHFUL MOTION

When tiredness befriends our evening, we can only hope for a blissful rest. With the many demands of life, we may equally be tired of our routines. Although we may be tired of many wants in life, we should never be tired of our God's love. Let's never get tired of His ideals. Let's not get tired of being good, because we're all candidates of Divine Goodness. So let's be steadfast in our walk with him; be faithful in small ways and always be in tune with our Maker. Good evening & have a blessed rest. 🍒🍓 #KYB ✍🏿 #

SAVE YOUR PEOPLE

You are the saving refuge & strength of your people Lord. You are the hope of our peace & progress, Yahweh. So please save your people, heal the sick, comfort the sad, lighten the burden of the suffering & bless your inheritance; feed & sustain them forever! Amen. (Ref. Psalm 28:8-9). Remain blessed & have a wonderful weekend.🍓

UNINTENDED EFFECT

Treat your thoughts and intentions with care. Permit your wonderful ideas to interact with a balance measure of humour and affection. Some interesting thoughts still stream dutifully every moment of the day; So let's interrogate every good thought we have because of the a rivalry in the negatives. Let's rethink our thoughts and actions today. Let's stay positive and true to our good intents in order to ward off the untended effects of our action. May God remember you this day and meet you at the point of your need. Remain Blessed 🙏🏿 #KYB✍ #

A BLISSFUL DAY

A beautiful sleepy cloud hangs on our morning. A blissful monday calls again with its glory. Enjoy this day. But please be patient with life as you travel the length of this day. Please endeavour to always do what is right, And never give up hope for God is about you blessing this day. I trust you had a refreshing weekend? Remain blessed and may God keep you under His care. Good morning.🍓🌹 #KYB✍#

THOUGHTS OF GRATITUDE

Can we count the number of words we uttered today? Can we count our heartbeats this day? Can we right the number of times we cared for others or ignored to care? However the day went, we cannot quantify all the gains we've made, but the best we can do is to thank God for caring to guide us through this day. Have a blessed evening. 🌺 #KYB #

FREE LUNCH BREEZE

It is lunch time again and the breeze won't stop blowing.  It keeps touching our ears with its hissing sound. But what is the source of this fresh windy breeze? What is the cost of the wind itself? What is the price of a perfect gift? What is the true cost of a free lunch? I won't tell you to despise a free lunch offer anyway but know that what is offered for free is dangerous. This is because there is a hidden obligation or an undisclosed price someone must pay. Enjoy this free afternoon breeze, at least so long as it remains a gift from God. Be blessed. #KYB ✍ #

RESTORATION

Light dispels darkness, the same every day brings new hope. Life dispels the fear of death, the same way faith beefs up our hope in progress. That we are specially set apart by our maker to fulfil a special mission this day; May this same God forgive our iniquities and Restore us to His glory. May He robe us with good health and wealth. And may the Lord our God go before us this day, guide our steps and strengthen our faith. Remain blessed as always. Good morning.☕ #KYB ✍🏿 #

ABUNDANT ATTRIBUTES

A grain of hope sprints this day. A grace of shine comes with this new month. As it births abundant attributes of goodness and fulfilment; May Yahweh bestow His favour on you and your family as you walk into the bosom of this eighth month. As we are ushered into this beautiful moment by His magnanimity, let us:             A-djust our sails to embrace the U-nique G-ifts of Unmeasured S-aintly T-reasures from the Lord our God. Be blessed & receive abundant favour. #KYB ✍ #

BLESSED SMILES

We bless the Lord for bringing us to the end of this day. We bless Him for bringing us to the end of July. May we remember that as evening come, the clouds also passes. May we remember to store up treasures in Heaven for ourselves, even as we work. Please be filled with blessed smiles as you braced yourself for tomorrow. Good night. 🌚 #KYB ✍🏿 #

SOJOURNERS

Today we are here, tomorrow we may be gone. Everyday we walk and talk, but one day we will cease doing this. So endeavour to relate well with your God every now and then. Endeavour to be in good terms with your relations. And never postpone the opportunity to do your best today, wherever you find yourself, because tomorrow might be too late. Let us endeavour to repent from our ways, reconcile with God and be good, because we all sojourners. Good evening. God bless  you. #KYB ✍ #

FRIDAY FLAKES

The friendly flakes of a Friday, Frees our feet to feel the familiar weekend fusion. Keep a firm faith in every situation, And may God be your light and guide. Be filled with Divine strength. Have a blessed weekend. Good evening 🌹 #KYB ✍🏿 #

FAMILIAR TRAPS

Image
We traced the tracks of our thoughts, Trusting that the threads in our talk will tame the threats in these traps. But as we trek the trends in our various truths mirrored in our trades and trust to tweet our treasures, may be we have to watch our tired text. In other words, as we live the beauty of this day, let's aspire to coexist peacefully.  Let us aspire to be cautious. Let us aspire to be better people. Sometimes, we are not told to be extra careful with what we do or say. Sometimes, we are unaware of the extent of our actions. Other times, we are not told explicitly that there is a limitation to our freedom to do everything. It is true some might get away with similar sins we might entertain or commit today. It is true we may not just be lucky all the time with what we do or say; how we do or say the things we do or say; when we do what we do or say. And we may not always like the bashing or treatment when we are at the receiving end, but the silent truth

GOD'S STILL NEAR

Aaah! Is it lunch time already? How come runs so fast of late? Talking about lunch breaks, brought back some memories of yesteryear. So it happened that an 11-year old Kalu was going to take his lunch at home several years ago. After fetching his food, he yielded to the temptation to fetch more soup from the reserve soup for their supper and perhaps fish for more meat. He gently closed the door, looked left, right and at his back to ensure there was no intruder, before setting out to fish in the soup pot. But interestingly he forgot to look up to see whether God was watching and even ignored the warning from his conscience not to do it. So Kalu starting using the ladle to search for more meet and got some. He was busily taking the meat, when luck run out on him. He was caught by his mother right in the act and you just imagine beatings and the shame on his face. It also happens in our lives. Sometimes you get to see the real attitude of people especially when we know the

HE'S STILL ABLE

Image
Our eyes stream with hope every morning, the same way our hearts glow with renewed zeal each day. This is because our God is more than able to take care of us and able to fulfil our needs. What are your cares and worries? What are your challenges and needs? What's the trouble caressing your thoughts? Cast your burden unto the Lord. Look up to Him who holds the manual to your life. With the pouring of these showers, may God water the good seeds in our hearts and hopes to bear worthy fruits. May Yahweh's legion of Angels never pass you by today as they distribute blessings. May He connect you with that someone who would bring that lasting smile on your face. May He always protect and guide you on the path of progress.  Remain blessed and have a spirit filled day. Good Day.  #KYB ✍#

AUTHENTIC SERVICE

We are required to serve with every gift of a new day. We are invited to offer generous services not only to ourselves but to all. This is because we have been chosen from the world, to go and bear fruit that will last, says the Lord (see John 15:16). As true servants, it's my prayer Yahweh grant us the humility and courage to offer authentic and true service for the good of all. Remain blessed. #KYB #

NEW DRIVE

Nestle the treasures of the new week.  Direct the charge in your heart to use your energy for positive end. A new week breath goodness, so step up your drive to make the week a fruitful one. And do remember that God still loves and care for you. Remain blessed.  Good evening. #KYB ✍ #

CONSTANT REFORM

We ain't safe if we continue abuse the goodness of the Lord. We ain't safe if we allow the pleasures of strange gods to confuse us. We ain't safe, if we continue to deceive ourselves, murder truth and virtue of the sages and sacrifice our souls for materials gains. It is a fact we all have interesting intents interacting with our interests. It is a fact we evolve strategic schemes and stands to justify our strange stakes. But in all these happenings, Prophet Jeremiah reminds us to Reform our ways and deeds so that Yahweh may remain with us (Ref to Jer. 7:3-7). It is still worthy trusting the Lord, instead of putting our trust in deceitful words and ways of the world. Be on guard in all your dealings, and be inspired to embrace through reform and change. Although it is difficult to practice, the good news is that it is still possible with the help of the Lord your God. Have a blessed weekend. Good morning. #KYB ✍ #

A DESTINATION

Image
There is a place for our birth There is a time for our birth There is a space for our life There is a day for our entry There is a hope for our life There is a mission for our life There is a vision for our life There is a conscience in our heart to gauge our life, There is a destination we have to reach There is a pilgrimage we are on So whatever we do, let’s remember to always apply our sixth sense. Let’s remember to keep our balance in all our engagements. Let’s remember to take calculated risk in our persistent strives.  Let’s remember that whatever has a beginning has an end, Let’s always be in control of how we manage our feelings and intents Through the various stages of this passage. May we never forget to say thank you for the little favours that comes our way, May we never forget to say I am sorry for the little mistakes we might make, May we never forget to be ourselves and appreciate the efforts of others in our lives. God bless

CALM THOUGHTS

Respect the gentle flow of nature. Respect the peaceful way of how things are. Respect the way things were meant to be. Respect the views of others; Even if they are terribly right or righteously wrong, respect them. Attach a special care to things that matter. Attach similar importance to little things too. Make your voice and views heard but don't make noise. Make your work noticeable but don't go boasting. Register your displeasure respectfully and just be cool. Acquire the tact to be indispensable in every endeavour. Acquire the attitude that endear you to people of many temperance. Acquire the emotional intelligence that is required to live longer. Acquire the specialty to be the game changer in all your dealings. In everything engagement guard your emotions and allow reason rule.
