EPISODES of the GHANAian CHRISTian





A mirror doesn't just reflect
It reveals what's in front of it
We call it an image
But I tell you, it's real 

And so are words
They can't touch you
Yet, you will see yourself as you read further.
Here comes the Ghanaian Christian defined in these episodes below:

Although they pray consciously only when things are going wrong, they pray very unconsciously before they eat their daily meals.

They pray more at night than day but they like day time church more than evening church services. 

They love those who love them and hate their enemies.

They want to be like Christ but cannot live 33 years without having sex.

They forgive but will not fail to remind you again and again.

They visit the shrine to inquire of an uncured illness or mysterious death but preach against idol worship.

They call their children by the good names in the holy Bible.

One out of seven Christians is a cheating partner, willing to change but not ready to stop making new friends.

One out of eight Christians is corrupt.

One out of nine Christians will read the whole Bible by strictly following Quiet Time books. 

Less than one out of ten Christians do marry before having their first sex.

Ten out of Eleven Christians can recite the Bible quotation at John 11:35.

Every Christian can get you a Bible verse to support a daily argument.

You can know the urgency of their prayer by the seriousness on their faces.

They feel more comfortable with God when in their "fasting and prayer mood"

They pray more at night after every terrible dream. 

They look for their phones first each morning before their Bible.

They judge the success of church services by; The sermon, the praises and worship, the number of members and finally the offertory.

Your status in life plays a role in your call up for church leadership.

Their English services are youthful, lively and slightly canal while the Twi services are matured, dull and more spiritual.

They are perpetual customers of the business minded men who use the name of God and the Bible with gargantuan Church names and Titles.

They boast of believing in Christ more than the white man who introduced Christ to them.

They like to digest their money into smaller molecules absorbable into the numerous offertory bowls.

They care more for newly won souls than care for the old backsliding ones.

Church support to the members is now being replaced by corporate social responsibility. So I ask, is the church a corporation or business? 

We hurry up to work more than  prepare for Church, Pass through the rain to work but Church is a holiday on rainy mornings. 

They argue that paying tithes is a commandment in the old testament but forget that Jesus preached from the old testament. 

Every Ghanaian is a Christian on 31st December.  

Thanks for enjoying the GHANAIAN CHRISTIAN EPISODES WITH US.

James 3:17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, [and] easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.
18 And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.

James 1:27 Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, [and] to keep himself unspotted from the world.

RFFS PRAYER

Anytime I'm called for duty... Wherever deployment takes me, Pervert from my path, any mutiny... But give me the strength to be; The rescuer, the protector and the fire fighter. Whenever I'm gone for stand by... Lord, grant me a listening watch.  All incursions, hazards and risks, May I with my crew identify... Where unavoidable, enable us to mitigate.. Be it in the terminal, tarmac or boarding gate.. Should there ever be an emergency, Wherever fire may rage.. Should there be any shout, No matter the skin or age.. Help me put the fire out, And my neighbor, help me save. And if by your will... Any blood may spill... Leading to any fatality, Protect my wife and kids, And preserve the rest of my crew.

MAY DAY, HER DAY

The kitchen was theirs in the days of old, They were the housewives, so I'm told. So shall the real woman wake, Early from bed and for her family bake, The bread of life. Such was the routine of a good wife. What at all is house chores? A mere sweeping and cleaning course, Yet we're expected to praise them aloud, And pamper them like a manner from the cloud. If this mind of societal stereotype, Keep flowing freely like a leaking pipe, In an era of this economic hype. Shall our women be healthy alive, Even if indeed they do survive? A career woman she's now called, Aid to man when his pocket stalled, Beautifully dressed to work, Yet at home we fail to praise her worth. This is poetry for May day, A caution for men to make hay. As she helps financially at home, Assist her to tidy up the dome. Now she's green and stands tall, But green leaves too do fall.  After all this grass has dried up, What else will dare to spring up?

BLIND DATE

Pre-Social media world had better means for us to make friends.  We needed no data like in modern trends.  Friend requests weren't necessary to send. There was an easier way the world did blend. Those times, little money did we spend. Even when you did not have, someone could lend.  However, to get a date was not as tiresome.  All you needed was life....... Isn't that awesome?  She would ask for your commitment after she had given you her all. She would forgive you even after all,  But for guilt, your heart wouldn't stop beeping. These days you need courage, money, good looks and fame without any debate. All these just to get someone to date else thou shalt be too late.  This particular lady came to me even when I was not ready.  Accepting me, knowing that I did not deserve to propose.  I tried to hide but Grace found me.  In fact, her approach I couldn't oppose and as promised, she has been with me ever since.  Forgiving my sin...
