Time to fix fragile Ghana foundation

The President of Ghana, Speaker of the National Assembly, Members of Parliament, Chairman of the National Council of Churches, Secretary General of the TUC, Chairpersons of all Non-Governmental Associations, Presidents of all Media Associations, President of the National House of Chiefs, Elder Statesmen and the youth of all our communities; AGOO-O-O......

I wish to bring to your notice, revelations I have had in the past and continue to have for deliberation and action for the advancement and emancipation of our dear nation. It is like a repeat letter if you can throw your memory back to the early days of our multi-party formation.

It is high time we looked further afield and correct the fragile foundation on which our nation has rested since our independence. We, in this country, take pride in the claim that we are the African nation to emulate. How do we lead with a Black Star? Black is a colour that gives no light. Black is but a shadow. It cannot reflect any light, so where is the brightness of a Black Star? It is just like a blind man leading the blind. With that the outcome is total failure.
What one says with his/her mouth is what he/she gets. We are created in God’s image and like God or His ambassadors; we bring His spiritual ideas down to the physical realm for rediscovery, by means of inventions. The tongue is untamed and can turn blessings into curses by what we voice out just as our father God does. A Black Star is not our portion but a BRIGHT STAR.

He who is wise and understanding among you, let him show by his good life his works in meekness of WISDOM from above. Your riches are corrupted because of what you have adopted. We manifest in this world bodily with a protective form or cover we call flesh, which eventually becomes worn-out. This is then left behind for the inner-most form (that is, the spirit) which is the real you, to go back into the Spiritual world where it belongs, to live eternally in extreme brightness of ever-shinning light.

Our first President the late Dr. Kwame Nkrumah achieved a number of good things for the nation but at the same time was lured to copy or resurrect things which failed us in our development. The idea of a Black Star came from Marcus Garvey when he established a “Black Star” steam shipping company to portray the efforts of the black man to the world. Meanwhile, we were not created “black” but rather as “Africans” with dark skins that acts as absorbents to the hot sunshine experienced near the equator. From an extract attached, you can see that our shipping line collapsed in the same manner as Marcus Garvey's.

The correct image of a spiritually-influenced leading star to use here is a Bright Star depicted in a Blue colour back ground. Such an image can be seen from a brightly burning candle or from a burner where the blue flame distinguishes itself as the hottest part of the flame where complete combustion takes place. You call this BRIGHT STAR into being and act physically by colouring it BLUE. From the three primary colours Red, Blue and yellow comes the secondary colours but all the colours together will give you black the decaying dead colour. Naturally the best and hardest diamond is that which has the most bluish colour.

Let’s give life a meaning. Arise and shine by breaking this spell now. Yea are gods on earth and because the creative force of nature the Holy Spirit dwells in us which is God's spirit our deeds and thought must reflect our spirituality. Nature is perfect and cannot imitate us instead we are to copy nature. Let the right light show us the way just as the Bright Star showed the way to the birth place of our Lord and Saviour YESUAH (Jesus the Christ).
The colour Blue reflects a highly spiritual mood and virtuous qualities in MAN in different shades. The blame game should cease in this country unless one does not know how things work in this earthly plane. We are living in a world where the laws of opposites prevail. Set your minds back to the days of creation and you can see that there were two trees in the Garden of Eden; one GOOD and the other EVIL. To mature, we need to go through trials in the hands of the examiner, Lucifer or Satan.

God knows your capacity and capabilities. Thus, He only allows specific tests which you can surmount, to come your way. Stick to the “CAN DO “spirit in a positive manner, and success would be yours. Let’s pray for WISDOM, UNDERSTANDING and KNOWLEDGE and all other attributes will follow.
From James 1 : 17, I quote; “EVERY GOOD THING AND EVERY PERFECT GIFT IS FROM ABOVE, COMING DOWN FROM THE FATHER OF LIGHTS, WITH WHOM CAN BE A:
(1) BRIGHT STAR (AND NOT A BLACKSTAR) NO VIRIATIONS NEITHER SHADOW THAT IS CAST BY TURNING” We are blessed as well as our nation SIKAMN (GHANA) .
(2). SIKAMAN NOT GHANA

I again bring back memories of letters written to you on the subject of change of name for our nation for consideration. It is very surprising that Pastors, Evangelists, Prophets, Sufis and spiritual Masters present in our country today have not mentioned anything concerning the name of our dear nation. Rather, they go predicting the time for the demise of people, just as if humans were to live in this world forever. Life is a journey and fresh souls over there in the spiritual world are anxiously waiting for us to move on.
You must remember where you are at the moment is an area of decay and materials used here like what our spirit and soul have been covered with (the flesh) is made on earth. The nation to me has been built on a sinking sand instead of being on a solid ground although our leaders of old were strong Catholics and Protestants deviated into Mysticism putting our Country under a spiritual deity which needed a virgin's blood as a sacrifice for appeasement. What characteristics do you expect a child named Satan to exhibit. Nothing but to be pulled down whenever he strives to excel unless you appease that spirit or sever contracts with it.
Let us make reference to transcript from the Internet about Ancient Ghana and I quote: “Nobody is sure when Ghana came into being. But sometime at the beginning of the first millennium AD, it was thought that a number of clans of the Sonike people, (in modern Senegal) came together under a leader with semi-divine status, called Dinga Cisse. What is clear is that the empire derived power and wealth from Gold.
The wealth of Ghana is also explained mystically through the story of Bida, a Black snake. The snake demanded an animal sacrifice in return for guaranteeing prosperity in the Kingdom. Every year a virgin was offered up, until one year, the fiance of the intended victim, (his name was Mamadon Sarolle) rescued her. Cheated of his sacrifice, Bida took his revenge on the region and everything fell into decline.” And the name Ghana went into oblivion until it was resurrected after independence by our then leaders as our name instead of the Gold Coast. This is only to give you an idea of what we are.
The country has come a long way and has grown religiously and with such an awakening that I propose we used a local name SIKAMAN for this country in place of Ghana. As little as we are in size as a nation we have been blessed with all riches that mankind needs to live comfortably on this earth with and yet we kept asking God for money instead of walking in our riches due to lack of spiritual knowledge and understanding.
It is like Moses praying to God to save them when he already had the means (ROD) in his hand to divide the sea with. We are representative of God on earth so we act like Him and have our being in Him so it is time to pray for WISDOM, UNDERSTANDING and KNOWLEDGE so that we can utilize the wealth around us to bring into creation things shown to us in the Heavenly. Names like Abram was changed to Abraham, Jacob were changed to Israel, Saul into Paul, Simon to Peter and Yeshuah into Jesus for specific manifestations.
The country needs to develop or modernize our chieftaincy practices to a standard that they would run in turns regionally as head of State or Presidents who would be non- partisan and would have a Prime minister formed from a party to run the government. We save money by having just two parties or a third party as a checker of the other two. At present Malaysia have this system and its working very well. Our culture and development will improve as the regions would like to develop themselves with indigenous people from their area to compete with the other regions governed by political nominees from that region. Development should spread out into all regions and its time our Churches start establishing industries, factories, schools and training facilities to give jobs to its members who are made up of all kinds of professionals than to appear every time to quote one or two verses from the scriptures of what ancient people did followed by collection. This would reduce the burden on the government to give employment to people. All kinds of church leaders instead of praying for the talents of the congregation to be enhanced by spiritual inspiration to bring things from the Spirit world into the physical world go about asking God to give them wealth by putting fear into the masses of repercussion if they do not give money to the church. This is robbery so church leaders must be prepared to pay taxes and be accountable to the well being of its members spiritually and materially. The more jobs they can create the more members they would get to swell their numbers.
Their inclusion into business would also help reduce corruption considerably. We are little gods on earth so if you decided to run a church be prepared to feed your members and in so doing you would automatically be blessed by God. It is time you bring things into being from the spiritual world. The government would then have time to set up Standard of ethics and industrial practice to make sure a set standard is always met. This would not stop others in the private sector to set up industries. In every region God has provided wealth which can be tapped into on a large scale with the view of exporting the end product.
The “I can do mentality” should be embraced in a very positive manner. ALL IS WELL WITH US. The things that God referred Moses to in writing personally with fire on a stone and which we refer to as the Ten Commandments, are exactly what we are doing on earth now. In Mathew 5:17-19 Jesus said: “Do not think that I came to destroy the law or the prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. For assuredly, I say unto you, till heaven and earth pass away one jot or one tickle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled. Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these Commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called the least in the Kingdom of Heaven, but whoever does and teaches them, shall be called great in the Kingdom of Heaven.”
Also in James 2:10, I quote: “For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet stumble in one point, he is become guilty of all.” Again I quote James 1:13: “Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God; for God cannot be tempted with evil, and He himself tempts no man: but each man is tempted , when he is drawn away by his own lust, and enticed.” A word to the wise is enough, so the ball is now in the court of the public at large to deliberate seriously on the change of name to SIKAMAN instead of Ghana. WE ARE BLESSED SAID THE ALMIGHTY GOD.
And I quote from Genesis 1:28, “And God blessed them and said unto them, Be fruitful and multiply and replenish the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and all the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves upon the earth.” The power and authority is in our hands so what are we waiting for.
Seek WISDOM, KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING from the Lord to implement the assignment given to us to rebuild our dear nation. We are greater than we think. We are specially created Spiritual Beings on earth. The light is shinning and penetrating all flesh and bones so act quickly in the reconstruction of the Nation on a SOLID FOUNDATION.

LONGLIVE SIKAMAN.
