CALVARY COVERS IT ALL!!

'No one but Jesus
Can make us pure as snow
We stand in your freedom
Calvary covers it all.

'Calvary, covers it all
My sin and shame don't count anymore
All praise to the one who has ransomed my soul
Calvary covers it all. ...'

Calvary by Hillsong.

It's another Easter season and lots of people had activities planned for the celebration.  From Kwahu, Kumasi to Oxford Street.  People have travelled back home just to celebrate Easter. I hear Easter is best celebrated outside the big cities in Ghana.  I know  a few people who have travelled back home to  Ghana  from other countries just for the celebration. I hope you are having a memorable Easter but may I ask if you understand the purpose for this celebration? Or is it just one of those seasons of merry making and fan fare? If you understand, are you activating the full benefits of the season?

Let me walk you through the story of this man.
A long time ago, a prince left his father's Kingdom and was born in a manger to ordinary parents: Joseph and Mary. He lived here on earth as an ordinary  man but he was no ordinary man as people realized that he did extraordinary things. He performed miracles,  raised the dead, healed the sick and the blind and  talked about the kingdom of heaven amongst others.  He became popular for the things he did and  although he was blameless, without fault and could not be found guilty of any crime,   people screamed : crucify him,  crucify him. He was crucified on the cross of calvary.  I cannot imagine how much pain he went through.  He went through all that pain, died, was buried, arose and is currently seated at the right hand of the father.

All that happened at calvary and what it signified to me, has been summed up in the book of Isaiah 53:5 ' He was wounded for our iniquities,  bruised for our transgressions and the chastisement for our peace was upon him and by his stripes,  we are healed'  but, you can actually write a whole  book out of it.  As a child of the Kingdom,  you must live in full awe of what this season signifies and most importantly,  benefit from what happened at calvary.

When he went through all that suffering and pain for us, it was to enable us come into his presence and take over our places as his children. We were reconciled with our father. It means that, it doesn't matter if you are a murderer, thief or a prostitute. When we sin,we fall out of line with the father. Yet at calvary, it was taken care of.  Now all we need to do is come to the realization that we have sinned and ask for forgiveness because sin was taken care of at Calvary. Shame, pain, sorrow, disgrace and sickness  was taken care of as well.

Happy   Easter!!!!!!!!!!!!

I Love That Man!!

Today, I saw  a handsome young man on a friends display picture. Wow! The guy is cute, I thought   to myself. When  I clicked on it to have a better view, I realised he had passed on at thirty one and would be buried soon.  Sunday, on my way from church, I saw a death notice that read:  'Gone too soon'. The guy was just eighteen. A few weeks ago, when I was in Ho, I saw two notices that read same but this time, the girl was sixteen and the other twenty eight. Okay, this is terrifying.

Such young lives lost to death. Can't tell what happened to any of them but I'm wondering how they are feeling dead and gone out of this world with loved ones behind.  I'm sure they had girlfriends and boyfriends.  I'm sure they must have had a few shots of tequila or even smoked some weed. I'm sure they must have been side chicks at a point in time or might have kept three or so girlfriends at once amongst other things that we all do as human beings.

Yet they just went away and we are still here. I want to know.  Were they ready to die? Would you be ready when the Lord shall come? What does it mean to be ready? I really can't tell. I would need a whole write up to explain that but if they were Christians, did they love that man? Did they win any souls for christ?  Were they born again? Were they forgiving and loving? It's  easier for people to glorify the dead but I'm thinking about celebrating them whilst they are still here instead.

As the world celebrates  Easter, how many people   are really  marking   the reason   for   the   season?  I barely see statuses or photos depicting  anything   about   Easter and its   true significance. How many people   are   loving   that man?

Do you know what time you would go?  Would you be ready? Are you working out your salvation? Are you saying the right words to people?  Can people   find   comfort in your words? Are you   showing people   enough love or just what you   think   they deserve?
Are you  helping   people   enough? Are you   being   a friend  or a snitch? Are you loving that man of Galilee  for the sacrifice he made for us some years ago? How are you loving him: well, I love that man of Galilee, he has done so much   for   me including   forgiving   my sins and sending the Holy ghost   to me. A reason for you   to   love him too.

As the   world marks the death and crucifixion  of Jesus, let me ask, would   you love that man? Would     you   be ready?  Whilst   we remember his laying still in the tomb on this day, shall we also see it as a perfect   time for reflection and live in the   knowledge   that he gave us the law of love instead of sin. Now the choice   is yours. Would you  love that man? Would   you   be   ready ? 

I'm back...
I'm back ...
I'm back !!
Though   I let the   challenges   get to me,
I'm back  from the writing   hiatus  ☺
Happy  Easter !

Happy Independence Day Ghana!

Today, millions   of people   across the country   marked her fifty ninth independence celebration. Many were of the   opinion that the celebration   was a waste of resources considering the   various   challenges   confronting our motherland.

I on the   other   hand used today to do some eflection.

For a nation that we call our motherland,
We cannot   turn our   backs on her.
Not in progress, not in regression .

There's   a   part of our anthem that says:

'Make us cherish,fearless honesty....'

....And on this day, I hope   that   regardless   of what   time it is for Ghana, as a people   who   can call her our motherland, we shall continuously cherish  our Ghana doing away with   all sorts of practices that  retard her development and   growth.

Hip,hip,hip....
Hurray ....to my motherland.....wishing  her a peaceful elections ahead of the   November  polls. In the  end, may she come  out still flying her flag high  noted for peace.

Happy  to  call myself  a   Ghanaian.

Wishing all Ghanaians both home and abroad a Happy Independence Day.
Enjoy your holiday!

My Favourite Romantic Novel: Thank You!!

I just published "Thank You!" of my story "MY FAVOURITE ROMANTIC NOVEL". http://w.tt/1QpQGNH

In the next couple of days, 'My Favourite Romantic Novel' Would be unpublished on Wattpad.

I want to say thank you world for granting me audience.  Thank you to everyone who read it. I'm challenged to write better as a writer because my first novel even unsold has over a thousand reads. I guess the bar has been raised, my readers would expect nothing, absolutely nothing but the best from me.

It has become necessary for me to unpublish my story because what started as a small joke has now become  a journey to making #1 New York Times Bestseller.

Would you buy a Puppishgirl novel?
Would you read a Puppishgirl story?
Still undecided on whether I want to be known as Puppishgirl or by my real name.
Whichever way, I appreciate everyone for reading. I would be leaving a few chapters as a novel taster. However, you can still have a read before it is unpublished.
