You Need Wisdom to Make It

Ama: Solomon discovered a certain mystery out of wisdom, and so he said, "You can make many plans, but the LORD’s purpose will prevail.", Prov. 19:21. I wanted to know why he made this statement though. Then it came to my realization that someone who was so immensely rich that all his cups were made of gold, he would have had so many plans and projects. I think Solomon understood the principles of this world better. No wonder people from all walks of life came just to feed off his wisdom. I once read that, wisdom is 'knowledge rightly applied'. And then I knew, that going to school to acquire knowledge and understanding to sharpen our skills isn't enough. But having the wisdom to channel it into profitable use is all there is. That particular idea that leads to our breakthrough is the wisdom we long for. Anything at all that was invented or discovered in this world was out of wisdom. In other words, the work of wisdom is to enable us; invent and discover. Truth is, you need wisdom in order to make it in this life. The word "wise" was gotten out of wisdom. Meaning, lacking wisdom makes you a fool in a situation. In other words, ignorance makes us look foolish. A wise person is characterized by wisdom, marked by deep understanding, keen discernment and a capacity for sound judgement. Anyone who is specialized in any field of work has a deeper understanding others don't. That deeper understanding sharpens his/her capacity to give sound judgement and therefore makes them wise in that field of work. What are you wise at doing?. What do people come to you for help in? It only takes wisdom to do what you do best. It takes wisdom to work smart and not just work hard.

The Goodness of God

Adwoa: Lemme take it from this angle to make it more interesting, before I tell you what this piece is all about. That's right, it's been a while you heard from me. I guess life has got a way of keeping us busy, and not having time for the things we use to love doing. I remember I could write 6 different scripts a day, and about 30 a month. But now, we are in August and I have written only 26 scripts so far. I blame my manager. Anyways, today I'm simply touching on something simple. Sometimes, I sit back and reflect and all I can say is that the Lord has been good. It doesn't have to take me to reflect before I know, but having a throwback makes me understand why I say, He is good. Then I can relate with David, when he said in Ps 119:68, that, "You are good, and what You do is good". I've also come to realize that, situations may blind us of this truth. Besides, we all had a plan laid out for our lives. That, by 26 we would have moved from our parents house, and by 28 we would own a car and be building our own house to settle down. My sister even said, by 22, she wouldn't be in Ghana. My point is, as for the plans we all have. But have you heard the verse that says, "For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future", Jer 29:11. Meaning, our plans are acknowledged by our creator, He knows we have plans for ourselves. That is why He is making us aware in this verse that, He is aware of our plans but He also knows the plans He has for us. In this case, all we need to do is to fuse our plans with His, to make it one master plan for our lives. Jesus knew this too, that is why He ended His prayer at Gethsemane by saying, "Yet not My will but Yours be done". Cause He knew God saw the bigger picture, and He was blinded by His current situation. I think this is one prayer we can adopt too. To be continued

A Time with Kinglord Ehud

I Might Be Alone On This

Achiaa: I don't know if I'm the only one who feels this way lately, but I'm just being real that's all. Cause it took me a while to love myself, mainly because people's opinions of me got to me. But the incredible thing is, with time we all grow out of it. Suddenly, what people think of us doesn't get to us no more. It's all based on our experiences in life. Experience has taught us that people who want to change us rather than loving us for whom we are, in the end, leave us hanging for another. I've had people tell me, "I love you, but if you could work on your tummy at least, cause I like my women wearing bodycon". So I started going to the gym to be in shape for this guy. I think it might be a good thing to at least get to see your partner's ex, even if it's their picture, cause then you get to know the kind of people they are attracted to, cause there is always a trend or type or characteristics they like. It might answer a little bit of the "why you?" question. For me, I'm not really interested in finding out. Sometimes, knowing too much also creates unnecessary doubts. Already, we are living in a world where the majority have trust issues, so why give them a reason to, when you can avoid it. My brother had this lady he opened up to very often, I mean they could talk for hours which annoyed me, cause she told him, she rejected his proposal because of the way he talks a lot about things that worry him. It taught me to keep things to myself; some things are just better not shared. Anyways, now I'm single cause the guy left me for someone of his specifications. So the question is, why did he have to waste my time if I wasn't his choice all along. So after this experience, it doesn't matter how you feel about me. If you do not love me for me then I'm sorry I won't commit. Basically, it is our experiences in life that have made us who we are now. Experience teaches us nothing, but evaluated experience teaches everything. Also,  reflection turns experience into insight,

Words are Underrated

Owusua: I'm very aware actions speaks louder than words and all that. But can we give "words" massive credits too. Undoubtedly, words mean everything. I mean we can fall in love with someone simply based on their words. Knowing just the right words to say at any given instance; gives us a upper hand in relationships, work, school etc. People who know how to communicate rightly usually get away with things. Couples that know how to communicate properly to each other strive through thick and thin. The rational behind miscommunication is simply because the right words weren't used. Relationships collapse, married couples divorce, tribal wars occur, nations fight, workers get fired: because words were used abusively.  Notably, people are remembered not for their works only, but for their words also. Reason why we have quotes of influencial people who died centuries ago. Moreover, people are mostly remembered by the words they contribute concerning matters. That is why sometimes we wish someone was around us at a given instance, because  we know they would know exactly what to say to resolve matters. Even though, certain words like "I'm sorry", "I love you", may have lost its value. Yet it counts when used in the right circumstance. Wisdom and Foolishness are equated to a person mainly because of the words they utter. The words we speak tells a lot about us, basically it defines us; communicates whom we are, our beliefs and even where we are from. Solomon was known as the wisest man ever lived solely by his words. And he was right when he said a fool is considered wise until he speaks in public. He had 700 concubines and 300wives, depicting women are moved by words; Songs of Solomon makes that evident. On the other hand, the Word of God signifies words carry power. That is why positive confessions are advised. Learning how to speak is a necessity. Your life depends on it.

The Voice inside My Head

Kojo: I'm gonna tell you the truth right from the start. Doesn't matter how you take it; the truth will forever remain the truth. Besides, being nice did not get me anywhere with you in the first place, so why not continue being myself. This would only take 2minutes of your time, but it would as well save you eternally. My problem is that; upon all that is going on earth, witnessing with your own eyes about the on-going pandemic. You still following your selfish fleshy desires. Yet even under self quarantine, your thoughts are full of temporal pleasures. Listen carefully, God has had enough of your behaviour, almost pulling the plug on you and I may have negotiated that I'm gonna have this conversation with you to buy you more time. It might be too late if you don't heed to this. Doctors out there saving lives are even dying. And your life is spared and this is the only good you can make out of it?. You never have time for God, you hardly go to church, even if you do you are mostly absent minded throughout sermons and yet God still looks out for you in your time of need. You can see, walk, talk so you think is something normal?. There is a lot you should be grateful for. Show God you love Him genuinely by dedicating some time for Him within your day. Either to play His type of songs, or read His Word or chat with Him. Try and at least make Him smile at you. Let Him see your efforts, like you try make your Boss see your efforts. So that if there is any bonuses to be received from above He would gladly shower them on you without asking. Because technically, He knows all that you need. The Bible did not lie when He said, seek first the Kingdom of God and all other things shall be added unto you. Make time for God within your 24hours like you make time for the people you love. Please listen to God when He speaks. Don't pretend you don't know it's Him. It's annoying.

LIFE IS SHORT | Live Every Day for God - Billy Graham Inspirational & Mo...

Aloevera II

J’Dess: I understand perfectly well why the phrase “love is blind” has been misjudged. Imagine if love wasn’t blind—would it be genuine at all? Wouldn’t it be biased? Please don’t miss what I’m about to share with you. Actually, this topic has been on my mind for a couple of days now, with the sole aim of bringing you into the inner chambers of my thinking so that you wouldn’t misinterpret. Because I’ve realized that no matter how good a script is, the readers often misconceive the context of the script—and that changes the whole meaning of the script. Especially the Bible—it is mostly contradicted by many simply because we do not find out the context behind some of the things we read. Kindly do me this favor: any script at all you read, first find out the context of the script. With that, you would get the right meaning—the writer’s mind. That was just by the way. Follow me carefully now. Let me tell you why love is blind. Love has been in existence from eternity, and it was passed on from eternity into time when God created the world and man. Because God is love, and He created man in His likeness. Therefore, we are love. That is why everything we do is simply out of love. Remember, God breathing His Spirit into the human body He created signifies that we are spirits clothed in human flesh. Naturally, we are created to love by the Manufacturer—God. So, when two people fall in love, they are two souls falling in love, not physical bodies. That is why we have the term “soul mate.” And our heart interacts between the human body and soul. Hereby, the heart is hugely affected when one gets hurt along the way. That is why we also have the term “heartbreak.”In short, love is blind because it is a spiritual connection which goes beyond the physical. It stretches beyond flaws, appearance, and other physical elements of the other—although it takes a willing mind to fall in love. Love is not forced nor biased; it’s simply blind.

Love translated in Music

Aloevera

Hanson: We talked all night. You know how it is when you meet someone new. You have limitless things to talk about and there is usually an instant connection when you have sth in common. This time around, surprisingly, we did have a lot in common so it made the bonding quite effortless. First of all, she stays in my area. Her birthday is in the same month as mine, just a day before. The senior high school(shs), she attended is my shs female pair. It's intriguing how priorities gradually change as we grow. We start seeing life from a different perspective. Our goals and choices are clearly defined. You would understand love better when you meet the right person. Someone who understands and accepts you for whom you are, and knows how to deal with your emotions. Believe me when I say it's not easy finding such love. Many end up with someone being there for them during their difficult times as their lover. Someone who gives them good advice, pushes them to be a better version of themselves, cares for them. Such a person could as well be a helper or a friend, not necessarily lovers. What I really want you to understand here is: there is no formula we look out for when it comes to love. Many fall for someone who supports them financially, and later realize there is a lot more to look out for. Actually, love is a choice, no matter how effortless it can be. It grows with a willing mind. It does not just evolve without your consent. You would know when there is something about someone you like. And that thing when watered, grows into love. It may stay at "like" forever or die out: if not watered. That is why you used to have someone as your "crush". It is true, you can fall in love with the wrong person. It simply means, love is not the only thing that sustains a relationship. Indeed, love blinds you: would expatiate on this phrase on Aloevera II.

Secret Incredient II

Akua: I had this friend of mine who really had a pure heart. Sometimes I did wonder how come there are men of his kind still alive. Many do believe good men are currently extinct though, so they settle for the ones they are fortunate to manage. At a point, I thought he would not get married. He was always busy creating game apps than chat with ladies. But one day, he met this lady and it was effortless, he said. She liked him for him, he did not have to pretend or impersonate anyone to get her attention. They actually met on a bus trip to Accra. She said hello, and sat beside him. At the time, he was busy with his malt and biscuit. I'm still waiting for my response, she said. He stopped chewing, they both laughed and they began chatting. That was how it all began. She was his first, dating was a new thing to him but she pretty much made it easier for him. They had  so much chemistry that he could just tell her mood from her response. And the good thing was; he always knew how to get her in the right mood. They respected each other, and knew when not to cross the line. No matter how angry they were with each other, they never went a day without chatting. A year later, they agreed to settle down, so Ama introduced Kofi to her mum. Her mother after meeting him, felt the connection between both of them and knew her daughter was a lucky woman. After Kofi left, she was having a conversation with her daughter and happen to ask her the church Kofi attends. Ama mentioned that Kofi attended ICGC. She then told her they couldn't get married because he wasn't a methodist. You are shocked too right?. I was actually stunned when I heard this myself. Kofi is currently still single, I mean that was his first time of putting his heart out there and everything was so perfect until this came up. How difficulty it will be for such a person to put his heart out there again. It's unfortunate how lousy a reason could be for two people not to get married as this one. Two Christians for crying out loud!!!... Who sets these rules for marriage?

The Secret Ingredient

Nick: It's interesting when someone's love story is shared, and people start sharing their opinions on it. There you would get to know and understand people's thought process. Previously, we were very intrigued about how love works and wanted to know more about it, but now love has become a "pay as you go" service. Usually, I had a lot to say especially during the month of love; judging from my past years of writing. Then I realized, how over time we have all lost interest in this subject, and how we really don't want to hear about it, if it concerns us. We are our own love experts and we have our own mindset about love. Sorry, if you haven't heard from me this month. Truth is, I lost interest in writing entirely, but no one really cares about that. Lemme go straight to my reason for finally putting pen on paper. I realized one secret to a sustainable relationship with a friend, lover, spouse or what have you. It's simple but key; I have listened to thousands of relationship messages this month, simply because I love to always improve on an aspect in my life. This month being the month of love, I decided to focus on love. Just one key thing I realized that sustains any relationship is respect. If we respect our partner, we would not do certain things. Let's take time to think about it and we would personally recall some of our actions without being advised. The way we treat others really counts on whether we respect them or not. It's that simple. We wouldn't treat people anyhow if we respect them. Some make the mistake of having to apologize for treating people badly after they realize whom they are. Again I say, love and respect should be our secret ingredient to a happy relationship.

What Don't You Know??

Month of Love

My Secret Prayer

Month of Love

Alexis: Alright so this is my first post this year and I hope this script finds you well. I remember it was my sister's birthday last year, and she had to hurriedly step out and meet a dispatch for a gift. She came back hastily, opened it up and it was a white towel with her name embedded in it. She just left the gift there and went to sleep. A minute silence!. Sometimes it's not about how expensive the gift is, but how well it was thought of before purchasing. Take time to think of a gift before going in for it. Welcome to the month of love. Personal, I think this month goes beyond married, dating, courtship people. I think it's very much limited when we look at it from that scope. In a month such as this, we all have to show love one way or the other. I mean, we can try to at least be more sweet to people. During seasons such as these, we are easily subjected to putting ourselves first. It isn't bad to wonder about what we would get from someone or who would surprise us. But particularly, we can think about what we would do for someone or whom we would surprise. I think that makes us more appreciative of what we get also. Cause personally, I have realized when we are more fixated on what we would get, we easily get disappointed, especially, if we start comparing. All I am saying is, apart from the obvious person we would surprise this year. From the handful of friends we have, pick one person and surprise that person too. It could be anything at all. Put a smile on someone's face, and let's be more appreciative. I understand how it feels to get a gift we don't like. And we would be like, "Really?". Wonya huu hwee!.

Overview of 2019

Kojo: I woke up happy today, seeing how grateful people are for 2019. Personally, it has been one of the best years. And I strongly feel there are more to come in 2020. I had a whole lot of experiences, awareness, opportunities, fun, adventures, delights, achievements and many others. The road was rough, I wouldn't lie, yet perseverance and determination kept us going. Made resourceful memories; memories that hold water and makes you say, "Why isn't life always this way?". I had so much fun in trying new things I had not planned to and it was worth it. A lot of things to laugh about on social media, and the Year of Return climaxed it all. Met a lot of people along the way, who changed my perspective on certain things, and I thank God for their lives. Made a lot of mistakes and I am glad I did. I learnt a lot, especially that the people we greet on our way to work or school, that ask us, "how we are doing?", don't really listen to our replies. I once replied, "I'm not fine". And she replied, "We thank God". With all things being said, we give all praise to the One who gives us Breath of Life. It has never been by might or by power. With our resolutions set for the next decade, we pray that the Lord God Almighty orders our steps in the right direction. May our next decade be of no regrets, but full of positive achievements. Cheers to Growth.

Our Secret Conversation

Larry: Father God, it's been a while we spoke. I know I have been distant from you lately, kindly forgive me. Can we talk one on one like we used to?. Cause there are a couple of things disturbing me. Regardless of them all, this particular one eats me up the most. Why am I still single, Lord?. Laugh out loud!. Oh! please I'm serious Father. I know this isn't Your fault but You still have an answer to this question. For that, I'm sure of it. I wonder what exactly I do wrong, that makes people just wanna take advantage of me. The moment I try to escalate our relationship to the next level they opt out. Sowing where I  don't reap. I really wonder what the problem really is, cause this has been happening for a long while now and its beginning to eat me up Lord. I doubt it's the way I carry myself about, cause I have female friends who commend me of my outgoing nature, yet are not just interested in me. Why wouldn't I just find someone who would love me for me?. Am I looking too far, Lord?. Is the person really close and yet I cannot see?. What should I do?. I'm really frustrated here, Lord.  I feel no one has actually been honest with me, to sit me down to tell the truth as it is. I mean, I've kept quiet for a long time on this. Hoping that You would come through for Your boy but nothing yet. So this is just a reminder to let You know that I'm still waiting on You, Lord. Do it for Your boy, as You always do. Being single hasn't been a bad experience though. I mean, freedom is fun and all. But the funny part is that, all the ladies I chat with are in a relationship. And at the end of the day, they go back to their own and I'm left hanging. Not a single soul to just check up on me. And I won't lie that really hurts, because of that I've named my next year, "My Year of Settlement". Kindly lead me to someone with a sound mind cause the fooling is too much in the system of late. I'm counting on You on this one. Will be waiting for feedback. Yours Sincerely. Signed.

Steady Love V

Do you want your man to do whatever you ask him to?.

Steady Love IV

Lamar: I take a look at him now and all I see is him rubbed up in lies. Have you ever met someone that was so soaked up in lies, that they themselves got confused sometimes if they told you the truth or lie?. I bet you have no clue how it feels then. I mean, you can read a conversation with them flirting with another girl on their phone, and they would still make you want to believe that it was their friend using their phone to chat with that particular girl. That is how good they are. Sorry for you, if you've fallen for such a person. How I wish your eyes would open, that you may see the light. Falling in love with a liar only ends in tears. Cause they are never ready to learn from their mistakes. They rather get smarter from every break up as a result from their lies. But you know, Karma is a very gentle fellow, it creeps up on you unaware. Then they meet that one person that breaks them also. And they forget about all the pain they caused others. They have the courage to ask God sometimes, "why me?". Forgetting all the tears they caused others, has finally caught up with them. How I wish you wouldn't fall into the trap of a deceitful lady, who only wants you for a season. How hurting it is, when you pour your heart out in a relationship with someone that had entirely different selfish motives all along. I feel your pain; cheer up, there is light at the end of the tunnel. May the next decade we walk into next year be full of smiles. And may this smiles drain away all the pain pilled up in your heart over the years. May you experience a different type of love that is heavenly sent. May no one take advantage of the kind heart you have. May you have a taste of how sweet life can be, with the right person. No more tears. Welcome to the New Age; Free From Heartbreak.

Steady Love III

Peggy: The type of love most live by lately; steady love. Especially those that gave their all in their previous relationships and were heart broken. Many that misinterpreted the affection shown by someone; thinking they loved them more than a friend. A few that were told straight forward by the ones they loved, that they didn't feel the same way about them; but they kept pushing only to be heart broken. Others that were misled, used and eventually dumped. Many more whose story hasn't been shared, and others who still live in pain cause they were naive. Another group of people who genuinely gave their all and were cheated on. Some who were unlucky and ended up with ungrateful partners. A handful who were not aware they deserve better. I think most of us are broken inside, but we don't fix what's broken, we mask over it. And we meet that innocent person who unknowingly triggers that wound and in our heads we move on without their knowledge. So then all these group of people decide to play it safe, reluctant to go all in. And all we seek for is timely assurances, cause we have a good heart but past experiences have clouded our judgement. We've guarded our heart, yet with the intention of settling down. We know deep within them, we would find our right pair. God bless our good heart, and help us use our good instincts to make the right choices.

Steady Love II

Ato: Alright so lemme tell you the truth right from the start. Apparently, I've reached that stage in my life were beating around the bush is simply a waste of time. Cause I've had this experiences where I've had this "back and forth" thing with someone, when in our heads we knew the path we would end up eventually. You may decide to delay the "decision making process", but you would still evetually get to that "decision making junction" anyway. No matter how long you decide to hold unto each other. Deep down within you, you can always tell the outcome. Mostly, we choose to ignore our inner voice and enjoy the moment while it last. Your ideology may be different per your experiences too. Truly, we all see life from different perspectives per our experiences. So you would meet people who have these funny ideologies about life. Then you begin to wonder if we are all living in this same world. Yes we are, the only thing that separate me from you, is our experiences. And these experiences sumed up contribute to whom we became. The whole reason behind this long speech is because my free ride home, left me behind today. Just then that popular quote,"We came alone and we would leave alone", dawned on me. Suddenly, I fell into a trance and begun to overthink things. Before I realized, I had texted this person: hi. Then I begun to understand a whole lot of things I thought was senseless. I begun to understand things better from a different angle entirely. I begun nodding as I was walking, unknowingly I was nodding to this cute girl walking towards my direction. She smiled and nodded back at me. There and then, a voice echoed in my head saying, "Waaa look, and you are stressing over a girl who doesn't like you". So ma buddy relax, in this life, your time to blow up go come.

Steady Love

Vibes: I came across his picture on my phone, and tears filled my eyes. I tried really hard not to blink, cause I knew tears will be dripping down if I lose guard. I bet you can tell how deep we were into each other. We came a long way, went through it all; crossed bridges, climbed hedges, moved through foggy, stormy weather together. Unfortunately, all that couldn't sustain us. Sometimes, I go so deep into my thought, descending deep down to moments we shared even on his birthday. When we would watch a documentary together, share ideas and thoughts. Yet we sucked dry the affection we had for each other. Another came into the picture just at the right time when we needed a different kind of experience. The other knew just what to say, how to manage, take care, control affairs. I witnessed my better half drifting away slowly, yet every measure I put in place backfired right in my face. "There is nothing as painful as that feeling; watching the one you love slipping into the arms of another while everything you try pushes her further away the more". Anything I tried made me look stupid, cause my newly discovered rival did everything right and beautiful. Shockingly, every step my rival took appeared to be spot on. And all I had left were shuttered memories filled with pain. Thank God I survived this too. In deed, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. I've learnt a lot of things I couldn't as a couple. I have improved and worked on myself so much being single. Singleness gave me a chance to patch up most of the loop holes I had left bare. Now I am ready to fall in love again.

I'm Sorry IV

Foden: I met a guy and we both fell in love. Months passes by and we were still going on strong, then he got attached. He calls me all the time, double texts me, makes me his WhatsApp profile picture. He sleeps over at my place whenever I ask him to, he takes me to movies. He does everything to make me happy. Later, he notices me being distant and confronts me and I deny it. I cheat on him and he notices it but he eventually forgives me. He starts being skeptical about his relationship with me. Feeling like he's not enough for me. Cause he tries fighting for the relationship but realizes he is fighting alone. Finally, he walks away and I don't even try stopping him, cause in my mind it was over between us. A month later, I start dating this new guy. And its it's super less stressful than the previous one. We start meeting up, taking cute pictures and dope videos. His company is just amazing, his flaws are highly manageable. Months later, I use him as my profile picture. My ex finds out and it breaks him, cause it was the same guy I denied having anything to do with. He still finds it difficult moving on. I wake up one day and realize my Ex is my better half. And that was after my current boyfriend cheats on me. I guess that was my awakening moment. I bumped into my ex at the mall recently and he looked more handsome. I called him when I got home and we talked all night. There was a lot to catch up on. By then, I realized I lost the moon while counting the stars. Cherish and be satisfied with whom you have now. But don't keep people around you simply because no one knows tomorrow. Move on if you have to. It might be your breakthrough.
