MEANINGLESS?
Ecclesiastes 2:13-15 said, "I saw that wisdom is better than folly, just as light is better than darkness. The wise have eyes in their heads, while the fool walks in the darkness; but I came to realize that the same fate overtakes them both.

MOVE YOUR FEET!
"When you pray, move your feet." This adage has been one of Africa's best stories. The adage emphasizes the need for an African man to have a grateful heart. Before now, an average man was always grateful for any little kindness, but at the time, someone who was not rooted in African styles and culture made us believe that gratitude brings down our worth in the eyes of people. Is it true? I bet you know it is not true. Gratitude is part of our heritage and culture. We shouldn't stop at r...

most times, ships don't sink because of the water around them; they sink because of the water that gets into them. Some of us give up because, we allowed the turbulence (negative talks and views of people) to get inside our ship (us). Moreover, you can't calm the storm, calm yourself. People will try to bring you down but it's left for you to stop the water from getting inside you. Don't allow the water to get into your ship, so that you won't sink. Your mental health matters. Your mind, y...

I couldn't wait, so I prayed for days to run so fast. Finally, we arrived at my hometown, Akokwa. It's a small town with six villages. It's located in the norther...
