The Reason for Christmas


Everyone loves Christmas, everywhere around the world. The atmosphere of joy and the spirit of happiness and thanksgiving with our family and friends for a successful year.
But do we know the real reason why we  celebrate Christmas??
We celebrate Christmas because of the birth of our lord, Jesus Christ. He was born in the city of Bethlehem in Israel,  just to save you and me and the entire world from the slavery and the bondage of sin. Jesus Christ was born on Christmas day on earth to come as a bridge to connect us humans back to God. To restore the original plan of creation back as it was. That we will be reunited with God in spirit and in our hearts.
So, as we sit around with our family and friends over big fried turkey and chicken to eat and drink in celebration, let us remember ourselves and  also remember  the people who need to hear about the salvation message that Jesus Christ has brought to the world through his birth..
Someone must tell them the salvation message of Jesus Christ, the good news of the world. That someone who must tell them is you and me. So they can also tell others too. This message is for me, it is for you, it is for that annoying neighbour we have to say Good morning to every morning because they are not always minding their own business, but interested in our business always. And the homeless person sitting under the traffic light in the morning and evening as we drive to work and back home. The good news message is for our grandmothers, aunties, uncles cousins, nephews and nieces. It is for everybody!!!
Please do not be selfish this Christmas. Talk to someone about the salvation of Jesus Christ, God's perfect gift to the world and after you do, invite for breakfast, lunch or dinner for them also to eat the big chicken and turkey too.
This is what we must all do. It is our duty This is why Christmas is here.

Happy holidays and Merry Christmas from me to you!!!

The purpose of Hardwork or Sacrifice

Why do we work so hard or sacrifice so much for something?? What does hardwork or sacrifice mean to us?? What are we expecting to get in return from our hardwork or sacrifice?? Is it all worth it at the end?? We all have come to believe and understand for many years now that it pays to work hard. Many of us have different reasons why we work hard or sacrifice so much. For majority of us, we work hard every day so we can have a lot of money to do or get whatever we wish or desire for. But the real purpose of our hardwork should not be about money but should be focused on value and impact I believe. Think of these great people who have made their mark in the history of our world..... Jesus, Mohammed, Solomon, Mahatma Gandhi, Bill Gates,  Michael Jackson, Steve Jobs, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Nelson Mandela, Barack Obama among a few. What did all these great men and many more like them have in common? Value and Impact. Not the desire to make money. They had a greater purp...

USA And The Western World is Against Polygamy.. Our Ghana Law is Against LGBT Rights. Will They Allow To Set Up a Polygamy Office In Their Country??

On June 26 2015, the US supreme court struck down all state laws banning same - sex marriages and legalised in all the fifty states across America. I remember that day, pretty well watching CNN seeing then host taking the live feed Anderson Cooper in a jubilant mood. Pictures from the supreme court also painted the same picture. Men kissing men passionately, and women kissing women passionately and locking tongues as well. All this outside the US supreme court for the whole country and the whole world to see that the United States of America, the greatest free country on earth is now fully endorsing gay marriage and approving LGBT rights. The gay pride parade was insane, trust me. A few months later, some European Union countries also joined in and legalised it unanimously. I could recall on that evening I called up one of my Brazilian friends, a woman who had always been a strong advocate and a strong supporter of LGBT rights to pick her mind on what had just happened in the US. ...

Support Small Business Owner Friends And Family To Grow

To all my self-employed, small business owner friends and family,  this article is dedicated to us!!!! Rihanna releases a lip gloss, people buy it.  Michael Jordan puts out new trainers in stores, people flock to these stores to buy them instantly. Dr. Dre  has new headphones, people buy it. Oprah Winfrey, the richest black woman in the world introduces a new weight loss and diet control program, people jump on board and flow with it. Beyoncé has a new concert, people queue in line to go spend £250 on a ticket just to watch her performance. A friend or family member of ours starts a business, and soon we become weary.  We say things like "Not sure this is going to work"  "This business you are starting is not going to go anywhere, I'll give you only 6 months, it will collapse to the ground"  " this your product is too expensive, you will be out of business in no time if you don't reduce your prices" Those of you, putting out negative comments...
