Lacking Speed; Wait For It!

 Author: Ebenezer Zor

“Put it in writing because it is not yet time for it to come. But the time is coming

quickly, and what I show you will come true. It may seem slow in coming, but wait for it, it will certainly take place, and it will not be delayed’’ Habakkuk 2:3

This was a message from God to Prophet Habakkuk at a time when the Babylonians were in power over the Israelites. Habakkuk worried about the cruelty, violence exhibited by the people. He asked the Lord “so why are you silent while they destroy people who are more righteous than they are?’’ The Lord’s answer was he would take action in his own good time, and meanwhile “the righteous would live because they are faithful to God’’. Everything God has said about us shall come to pass in his time not ours. It may lack speed; but wait patiently for it.

Ecclesiastics 3:11 tell us “He has sent the right time for everything. He has given us a desire for the future, but never gives us the satisfaction of fully understanding what he does’’.

The Lord has prepared a time (day, week, month, and year) to make all things beautiful for your own good. Very soon, the hardship you see today will be no more. It may seem slow, but surely goodness and mercies; victories would come in no time.

As ideas are pregnant with solutions, so is God full of goodness to shower on you.

Quote: “Count God’s blessings, don’t discount them. Thanksgiving is the attitude of a productive life” John Mason

Staying Healthy

Staying active can make you feel better than any other medicine. Remember feeling better on the inside will

Writer: Mr Eric Tsikata
CEO Tsikarts

surely show on the outside and will enhance the way you look.

The best way to stay active is to cherish work, games, sports, walking , playing etc. A dormant indoor life for a long time is not good for your body, skin and general health. Instead of watching television or using the computer for a long time, try walk and sight seeing. Instead of letting your servant or children do all house chores, try doing them yourself sometimes.

House chores are some ways of giving yourself a free style exercise. Try parking your car sometimes and do some stroll or walk. Climb stairs instead of always using the elevator or lift. Visit interesting places, tourist centers, beaches etc. Get some sunshine(in moderation) and fresh air as well! The sun can help your body produce vitamin D. Some few minutes of sunshine a day will surely give you a healthy glowing skin.

Exercise will keep your heart healthy, aid blood circulation, metabolism, natural cleansing of the body, tone your shape and skin hence giving you that healthy beautiful skin. Some activities that can help keep you healthy include, cycling, playing basketball or football horse riding, karate, dancing,yoga, walking, swimming and etc.

Just as exercise is important, resting is also important. You can pamper yourself by doing something to keep you in a high spirit of peace and serenity once a while. It could be taking a long bath, getting a spa, massage, enjoying the sea breeze at the beach, being in the pool, etc. You can create a joyful day of total bliss at home by trying the at home spa by yourself or with a loved one. 

You can also visit one of the resorts for an intriguing experience. Soaking yourself in the tub or the bath basin using a scented bath gel with lukewarm water to bath will surely give you a feeling of freshness. Give a special cleaning or scrub to your feet, especially heels. You can light some candles near the tub to create a beautiful scenery. Do not rush to get out fast, feel relaxed.

Apply a soothing lotion to damp skin after bath, wrap yourself in a big towel or beautiful robe, wash your face using a gentle soap or face cleanser. You can try a soothing facial treatment by adding herbal tea bags, lemon or bowl of lukewarm water. Lean your face over the bowl for some minutes and then clean your face dry. You can also try some massage by the help of a specialist or at-home massage by a loved one with a soothing massage cream or oil.

After pampering yourself, free your mind from all problems, bad moment, house chores, homework, stress, disturbance and friends.

Turn on your favorite song, preferably a cool, soft and relaxing music with a glass of fruit juice or any chilled natural drink. Relax in your bed, chair or couch comfortably and enjoy your music. Close your eyes taking few breaths, visualize the beauty of creation, interesting places and great moments and memories! Think about the wonder of nature, the goodness and greatness of the creator and His favour and blessings, think about all the lovely people in your life, Go on, till you are swept by sleep.

Apart from pampering yourself once a while, try at least fifteen to thirty minutes relaxation everyday and get adequate sleep too because without enough sleep you will feel restless, tired, irritable, and your akin, hair and eyes will look dull, Get at least seven hours sleep each night.

Relaxation is an important part of beauty art. The benefits of rest are immense so do not underestimate it.
Rest re-invigorates body,mind and spirit, making you feel fresh and renews, it also prevents and heals physical, psychological and emotional challenges.

To live a healthy life, please find time to pamper yourself!!

He Loves Forever

Writer: Ebenezer Zor

Ebenezer Zor

“He may bring us sorrow, but his love for us is sure and strong’’ Lamentations 3:32

God is calculative and wonderful. He continues to shower his love for us in several ways. Yes, he might bring sorrow, but is just for a short time and in all circumstances we ought to give thanks. “In the day of prosperity be joyful, and in the day of adversity consider: God has made the one as well as the other, so that man may not find out anything that will be after him” Ecclesiastics 7:14

Unlike the wicked ones whose arrows of pain, grief toward its targeted items destroy completely, God still love us no matter the circumstances. The decision to be a Christian today is yours.

Lamentations 3:33 tell us “for he does not enjoy hurting people or causing them sorrow’’. This love became intense when he allowed His only son Jesus Christ to descend from glory to die for our sins and renew our spirit to the Father in heaven.

“For God so loved the world so much that he gave his one and only son, so that everyone who believes in him should not perish but have eternal life’’ John 3:16

His loves does not know any barrier. God requires us to learn His words so that we are not destroyed by earthly activities. By doing so, we must love all as God loves us.

Quote: “Make all you can, save all you can, give all you can” John Wesley

Is The Phobia Spirit Back?

It was the best performance in this season as Accra Hearts of Oak recorded a 4-0 victory over Heart of

Lions at the Robert Mensah Sports Stadium in Cape Coast. Hearts of Oak playing away from home as result of crowd violence some couple of weeks ago really impressed football folks the mid week fixture.

Before the game, Accra Hearts of Oak’s 14^th position on the league log was worrying as it created a lot of permutations among the football fraternity.

One thing that motivated the boys to go all out against Heart of Lions at Robert Mensah Sports Stadium to eventually win their 22 fixture of the Ghana Premier League sponsored by First Capital Plus Bank was the presence of the old and new board members. This has pushed the team up to 11^th position with seven matches to end the season.

Per statistics this season, Hearts of Oak has won seven games, drawn eight and lost eight matches out of 23 games played so far. With the win against Lions in the mid-week, is the phobia spirit back?

This feat should not end if they want to move away from the relegation zone and even stay in for the next season. The management and the technical bench must do more to get the best of result in their next game against New Edubiase away.

Though Heart of Lions came into the game with a winning mentality, the phobians lived up to the accolade; “We never say die until the bones are rotten”.

Slay The Visible Giant

 Author: Ebenezer Zor

Ebenezer Zor

During the reign of King Saul of Israel, a Philistine warrior champion named Goliath, tormented, strutted and defied the army of God. The Philistine giant Goliath, defy the name of God for forty days- every morning and evening. Goliath was over nine feet tall, wore a bronze helmet and bronze coat of mail weighed 125 pounds.

One day, King Saul and his subordinates were terrified when Goliath threw a challenge to the Israelites that; if he wins the fight, all Israelites become his slaves and he also suffer the same judgments. The Israelites’ were afraid because they had no fighter full of the spirit of the lord, courage to stand the might of the giant Goliath and if possible defeat him. At the backdrop, God was preparing one of Jesse’s eight sons, a young boy shepherd called David to face Goliath.

God has fought for his people right from the days of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, Joshua, and Samson of which David’s was not an exception.

How David Slew The Visible Goliath?

A giant in this context is anything that destructs and torments God’s people.  For such a monster that has been a prickle in the flesh to disappear it may require the handy work of God. This was how David slew the visible Goliath [giant].

1. David acknowledged God; - “The lord who rescue me from the claws of the lion and the bear will rescue me from this Philistine! Saul finally consented, “Alright, go ahead, “he said, “And may the lord be with you”. 1 Samuel 17:37

When David heard about Goliath’s request, he confronted King Saul to grant him the permission to square off with Goliath. King Saul initially did not want to. Meanwhile, David the shepherd had three of his oldest brothers (Eliab, Abinadab, Shimea) in King Saul’s army. Later David made the above statements and King Saul gave him the go ahead. David who had no idea about Goliath acknowledged God his works in the past, present and even before the battle. He had a strong conviction God will save the situation and do it again despite all odds.

2. He testify the power of God to the people by believing in the five stone; verse 40 of that same chapter tells us “He picked five smooth stones from the

stream and put them into his shepherds’ staff and a sling, he started across to fight the Philistine”. For you to overcome the hurdles of life, you need to remember the things that God has done for you in the past, still doing and about to do by testifying or sharing such experiences with others.

3. The verse 45 of the same chapter says “David replied to the Philistine, (Goliath), “You come to me with sword, spear and javelin, but I come to you in the name of lord of heaven armies- the God of armies of Israel, whom you have defied”. In other words, David demonstrated faith in God. Dear brothers and sisters, no matter the Goliath in your life, let faith in the Lord direct and encourage you. The God, who saved you some time past, will surely do it again if your faith does not dwindle.

4. Employed the power of God to destroy Goliath. In verse 46a says “Today the Lord will conquer you, and I will kill you and cut off your head”. David allowed God’s power to edify him to overshadow that of giant Goliath. The moment came for the battle. David quickly runs to meet Goliath after the Philistine stepped forward. David reached his shepherd’s bag and took out a stone; he hurled it with his sling and hit Goliath on the forehead. The stone sank in, and Goliath stumbled and fell face down on the ground. David pulled out a sword and cut if his head to bring joy to God’s people.

5. David had a good reason for employing God’s power. This could be seen when in verse 46b says “And then I give the dead bodies of your men to the birds and wild animals, and the whole world will know that there’s a God in Israel”. David did it not for himself but for God and Israel. Beloved you must have a good reason for God to help you. Do you want God to help you in order to compete with others for fame or bragging rights?

NO! You need to have a genuine motive of wanting God to help you. David’s motive was for the Philistine and the world to know that God exists.

David was not arrogant and selfish before and after Goliath’s fall. He confided in the Lord to be able to slew the giant.

Ladies and gentlemen, take a few minutes to slay every Goliath (like poverty, barrenness, impotency, delayed marriages, joblessness, persistent illness, and depression and peculiar ones in your life) in the name of Jesus, Amen. You can say Amen again. God is always ready to save you and do it again and again if you recognize him in all situations. But always remember Jesus Christ is working for you.

Want To Be Born Again?

“But to all who believe him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God. They are reborn-not physically birth resulting from human passion or plan, but a birth that comes from God.” John 1:12-13

Having read this message, want to be born again? Say this prayer with faith; Heavenly father, from today I surrender myself to you. Forgive and cleanse me from all my sins. I invite you to take absolute control of my life. Beloved if you have prayed this prayer, you are born again and welcome to God’s family.

PRAYER
