Ghanaians : Let us be conscious about Life!

LIFE is not having money and having funds but rather knowing your maker and doing His will. I want to say this to our rich men and Politicians! Please `rich men and Politicians be conscious about LIFE! I want to say this to our Young men and Young Ladies. Please Young men and Young Ladies be conscious about LIFE!

I quot “And he told them this parable : The ground of certain rich man produced a good crop. He thought to himself, what shall I do? I have no place to store my crops. Then he said. “This is what I will do. I will tear down my barns and build bigger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods. And I will say to myself, “you have plenty of good things laid up for many years. Take life easy; eat, drink and be merry.” But God said to him, “ You fool! This very night your life will be demanded from you. Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself? This is how it will be with anyone who stores up things for himself but it is not rich toward God.” ( Luke 12 : 16 - 21)

Please let me clarify this! We live in both spiritual and physical every human being whether we believe this or not. The spirit do not die but physical (the flesh) does. What we do in the physical (flesh) effects the spirit. The spirit needs to go back to God (in the Garden of Eden) where he was drove out, but he has to be regenerated first through Christ by faith. This is the big picture, after the fall, Adam and his wife were sent to Egypt (Flesh) to live there. Which means all of us were born there (flesh) whether we are from USA or from Europe we need to get out from Egypt to the Promise land to the ( Garden of Eden). This is a spiritual journey we all are making. But we need to be set freed first. Christ came to set us free so that we can make this journey back to God. Even though Christ had set us freed we still need to make this journey back to God Almighty through Faith. Faith and believe are not the same, even the devil also believe in God

Almighty. Faith is a gift from God and it is a force which drives us to God Almighty. We normally say this in Akan when someone dies “waka baabi.” What does these two words means? “waka and baabi” You see, every word we speak originated from God Almighty and has its spiritual meaning. We may be speaking big big words but we do not understand it spiritually! We just learn to speak like babies! Whatever they hear they say it without knowing what it means!

I beg to say this to my lowly brothers and sisters in our society to be conscious about life because we can identify ourselves with Christ‘s birth. Hear what he said after he had walked the way of the Lord for some years! I quot “ The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, because the Lord has anointed me to preach good news to the poor, He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for prisoners, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn.” (Isaiah 61 : 1 -2). Please my brothers and sisters don’t let us sell our birth’s right like Esau who sold his birth’s right to Jacob because of food or don’t let us look for short cut to be rich, but let us be conscious about life! Knowing our maker and doing His will! Don’t let our flesh lead us in all things. The Lord is about to visit us as a Nation! We will know this but the world will not know because they don’t have His Spirit!

“For Africa’s sake I will not keep silent, for Ghana’s sake I will not remain quiet, till her righteousness shines out like the dawn, her salvation like a blazing torch”. “ The hidden Treasury” I have found it!
