April 14, 1912 The RMS Titanic, the biggest man made ship in the world had just sank. Loud screams heard across-board. Some people were not able to find their loved ones, some found them dead next to other dead bodies.    Those who died instantly after the ship sank,  died either from heavy metals and heavy ship debris falling on them or froze in the sea to death because they did not have  on enough life jackets to protect them against the icy sea water.    Pastor John Harper, a Scottish Baptist Preacher was also caught amongst the rest in the icy water. He had been playing christian hymns on his accordion to the delight of the gathered guests when the Titanic suddenly sank. Usually, at the end of every performance, he would ask if any of the guests would love to give his life to Christ, and when they came forward, he would lead them in a prayer to salvation.          On this icy moment, he checked his fur coat to see if he had any Gospel of Jesus leaflets left  on him to share wi

Surround yourself with positive people... people who can always encourage you to see life in a better way when life gets unbearable. Surround yourself with genuine people... People who will criticize you but will keep you on your toes and focused on the important things you need to do. People who are not jealous of you and pushing to put you in a negative state of mind. Surround yourself with people who see the best in you when you are at your worst. People who see you and accept just as you are. They may come to you when you least expect them, so never look down on anyone. Surround yourself with the knowledge of truth and a shield for the evil days that is yet to come unto this world. That God does exist... Salvation is in Jesus Christ alone and nobody else. Understand the truth in the moon, the sun, the stars the sky  and all the creations of this world that continue to wow us everyday. It was not made by  any man but God alone. Surround yourself with the right people who will

What values are we teaching and leaving behind forour children?? What example are we showing to our children as parents? What kind of people do we hope our children will become in the future? During the early days of the mafia era in America, there was one lawyer who defended the mafia dons and their people so well and so good in court that none of the dons nor their people ever went to jail. His name was Easy Eddie. One of Easy Eddie's famous client was Al Capone (Scarface). For his good service the mafia gave Easy Eddie enormous amounts of money from time to time so he can be extremely rich and live a comfortable life.  One day as he was holding his little son and taking him on a stroll, Easy E thought to himself...."I've given my only son the best things money can buy. He will not lack anything in his life. But what will be the legacy I am leaving behind for him? He said. They continued walking for a while and he lifted his son up and looked straight into his eyes

Compassion is showing actions of love without boundaries, not forcing yourself to do good or show kindness to people. But by allowing it to take over your heart and soul and to be part of your everyday life. Compassion comes from the heart of man. It is taking an action to help people not wishing it Kwame Sarpong |  Freelance Writer:  Nyansa365  e: nyansa365@gmail.com | w: nyansa365.blogspot.com  m: +233205832364 | p: +233205832364 f: Otumfour Kwame Sarpong t: @kwamesarpong25 inst: iamotumfour L: Kwame Sarpong

If you want to be seen. .... Stand up If you want to be heard... Speak up If you want to be appreciated..... Shut up If you have done incredible things or good things for people, let the people speak of your own achievements or good works other than yourself.  It stays in their memory for life. Speak about issues that affect you and others. Do not sit down in silence or watch unconcerned and wait till things go wrong before you decide to speak up or act. Or better still say to yourself....no,  that's not my problem. That's their problem. I can't be any part of that problem. I'm just going to sit and watch or mind my own business. If the problem is that for all the community or family to solve and you sit idle or act unconcerned without helping them out, that problem will come back and haunt you again and again. So speak up and help! Do not speak evil of others or allow others to talk evil about others to you. Today it may seem fun to do something bad to others. D

I loved watching the Game of Thrones movie series. Even though the show ended many months ago in 2019, I still binge watch it every chance I get on my free weekends. Perhaps I'm in love with the show more because of one character, Thyrion Lanister, played by the British actor, Peter Dinklage. Thyrion was the son of Thywin of the House Lanister. Brother to Jamie and Cersei, his sister. His father hated him so much because he had caused the death of his beloved wife, while giving birth to him. On top of that, he was born  an imp (short man) not as tall as the men in his family like his father had hoped for. So he couldn't stand the sight of him even though he was his son. He really hated him. But Thyrion never did let any of that hate from his father and sister get to him. He took on the hate and learnt from it. He read a lot and had conversations with matured people in Kings Landing both poor and rich, young and old just to understand their views on life, family, history an

Everything created in this world has its beauty but we don't see it.  Sometimes we don't appreciate it that much like we ought to. Not everyone has the eyes to appreciate beautiful things wrapped in a dirty cover. Until you take the covering off you will never appreciate the gift which is wrapped inside. Sometimes, we may be beating ourselves too hard wondering when all our hardwork and sacrifice are ever going to be rewarded. Why does my husband not appreciate everything I do for him as a wife? I cook, clean, wash dishes and clothes and bear babies for him yet he does not value what I do. I buy the best things money can buy for my wife, yet she doesn't appreciate. I provide for the home and take care of our children yet she sometimes compare me with other men, only yells for me to do more. . Why am I not valued or appreciated by the people who are supposed to value and appreciate me? We feel very disappointed, frustrated and let down when our sacrifice and love is no

Most people think to become rich, you have to work very hard to earn more money  and give your all to your work or business, and you will be successful and rich. But, unfortunately that's not true. To be rich has to do more with being a disciple and focused with a long term plan for the money you earn and spend. I repeat it is not about hardwork and earning more money. It is what you do with the money after you earn it that counts. If becoming rich was only through hardwork, then every street hawker around the world will be rich. Then the most hardworking people at your office or in your company would be the richest people. But it's not so. However, there are a few life-changing lessons we all have to learn here. Here's how it works.... Rich people live in the world of abundance. And by abundance, I mean learning and understanding well the habit of savings and making wise, profitable investments  that will reap multiple folds of more money for you at the end. However,

The will of the dying on his last day on earth is the mirror of the life he or she has lived on earth. Most people usually have lots of regrets and a billion thoughts of "Had I Known" getting to the  end of their lives because of they failed to understand the power of their choices, the impact of the decisions they took and how necessary it was to have a plan for their lives and the things they did. We should learn not to take doing these things for granted. Because the turn of events in life can take any of us by suprise at any day. We should then not think we have everything figured out until we carefully understand these things and what they will mean to us coming to the end. Whatever situation you find yourself in your life right now, your end matters more than your beginning. Your choices, decisions, risks and plans you are making today should lead you to a fulfilled life at the end. Failing to plan your life from now will fill you with lots of regrets and wishe

Men are often stereotyped for being weak or soft if they show their love or affection openly. But the truth is, men also need love too. Men need tender loving care and affection and attention just like women do. Caring, showing love and affection and giving attention is not only about women. It is about men too. Men also need early morning calls, just for their women to tell them sweet words too, encouraging words to carry them through the tough day they are already having or that sweet short text message you can send him just for him to know you love him and you are thinking about him. This is the reason why most married men  turn their attention to slay queens and side chicks looking for this kind of treatment. And not necessarily for sex. So from now on, ladies, start also calling your men and husbands, tell him sweet words, encourage him and inspire him,  learn to compliment him on his good looks, what he wears and appreciate with much admiration what he does for you. Tell hi

How ready are you willing to sacrifice to achieve your dreams in 2020?? How much is your dream or vision worth to you?? Here this story...... It was a rainy Sunday afternoon in August 1965. Robert had closed from church and was about to go home with his wife and four children. He had developed several designs for  automatic wipers he wanted to design and install in his car. So this particular rainy day,  he wanted to get home early so bad so he could finally put his designs to the test. They finally managed to get home after long hours in the rain and heavy traffic.   Drivers at the time operated their wipers by turning a small knob close to the steering wheel continuously to clear the windscreen of rain,  water or fog or just anything that prevented them from seeing the road clear as they drive. So Robert was really determined to  do something to solve this problem. So just after lunch, he went straight to his basement with his three sons so they could plan and build the new wip

Whatever things you love to be done to you or you expect from others, do same for others also. If you expect people to be honest with you about things and not lie to you for example, be honest with them too. If you wish you had more.... wish others have more too. Everybody  expects to be treated well  these days, but we don't want to treat other people just the way we wish to be treated. How ironic!!!! We  are always looking forward or expect to be loved but we don't show love to one another or support one another with genuine love. How can we then demand from others what we never give them in return. We complain of the world being evil and unforgiving, when we are the same people who create that world. We disappoint people who put their trust and confidence in us, we hate the very people who tell us the truth all the time. We don't even want to get closer to people who are nothing like us, people we feel are below us. We stab people who help us in the back and we do

Fake people are only nice to you when it's convenient for them because they always have a hidden agenda. They always think of their interests first above everything else. Genuinely nice people go out of their way to help others because they have an honest heart. Stick with the ones who never let you down and keep their promises even under unplanned circumstances. You can't always fake an honest heart. You either have it or you don't. Never abuse a kind heart because it is already rare, once it's gone, you will never find another one like it again. And never take good or kind people for granted because it  already takes a big effort to be a kind person in the world today. Understand this,  some of the most generous people have no money but a big heart Some of the wisest people have no education but have a strong desire to teach others their failures and successes so they may learn from it. Some of the kindest people are  people who were hurt the most. Kwame Sar

Are you always the kind of person who expects people to encourage you before you do something great by yourself? Many of us today are very sensitive to whatever people say to us. If people say something negative to us, we usually tend to overthink them and finally get to accept it's true because we feel inferior and powerless even in ourselves. Most times, when we start something great, be it a business, a project or a decision to live a positive life,  people with small minds often very close to us usually will be the first people to tell us.... Oh, this won't work, stop it before you embarrass yourself.... or where did you get the confidence to believe you can do or achieve something this big..?? I'm telling you, this is not going to work. How many people have you seen do this here and succeed?? Don't try to overdo yourself, stop thinking of yourself a genuis, stop thinking of these big ideas and plans... you don't have the balls to make something like this ha

How far are you willing to go to forgive someone who has really hurt you so bad, physically and emotionally?? *The story continues* ....... A few years passed and I was ordained as a Reverend Minister of my church in the company of my daughters who were now mothers and women of God serving in  the childrens ministry in the church. One afternoon, I decided to go visit the inmates at the Kigali Maximum Prison to share the word of God with them, teach them about the Bible and the love that God bears for the world through the gift of salvation of his son Jesus Christ to the world. The warden (head of the prison) led me to the biggest front yard of the male prison to preach to them all and his men too. So they called out everyone and arranged the place with a pulpit to use and preach to them all. I came in and saw hundreds of men  standing on their feet and clapping for me as I entered with joy. I shouted out loud; Boys, do you know how much Jesus loves you? He loves you and me so mu

You can continue to hide the real you from everyone. But you can't hide from your own self forever. There are always some things you cannot hide from yourself.... the truth, who you are, your weaknesses and your strengths. Even if you will want to fake a different person Infront of the whole world, your inner soul, mind, your heart and your conscience deserve better. They are the only human systems within us we ourselves cannot corrupt with what happens to us in the world we live in. Do you fear speaking your mind or being honest?? Tell people the truth, be honest to yourself  your friends and everyone you deal with. You will be hated so much I promise you if you are honest and you speak your mind or the truth. Because people hate the truth. They love being in the dark state of mind. You may not get a lot of friends and admirers but tell the truth and be honest anyway. Start being honest with little things, and you shall see a greater reward free from guilt and fear. People hav

Do not compare yourself to others, if you do so, you are only insulting yourself and the person God created you to be. People's lives are way different than we imagine them to be. Those people we may assume are comfortable in life, may  actually be having difficulties on their own they may be dealing with which we may not see or they may not tell us. Sometimes they may be trying to live a fake life outside their true selves on social media and outside their private lives. And we may be envying them or  hating our present lives for nothing. Everyone has a black spot in their white linen clothes. So before you think or assume your life is not perfect or great, and  wish you also had a better life  that somebody's having, stop and love yourself first. No one has a perfect life. Everyone is going through a difficult time in their lives. Stop comparing your life to others. Focus on your life, work on yourself and embrace everything this life has to teach you, both good and bad.

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do because you allowed people who didn't believe in your visions and dreams to talk you out of pursuing it. So fend off doubters and unbelievers away from you and get out from your comfort zone to be able to focus on your dreams and ideas. Your dreams, visions or ideas may just be the next big thing the world has been waiting for. Get to work now!!! Kwame Sarpong

The Power of Forgiveness How far are you willing to go to forgive someone who has really hurt you so bad, physically and emotionally?? Kigali, Rwanda 1994 It was early morning on Sunday, April 15. My husband and I had just woke up sharing the word of God on our bed. Suddenly we heard a big knock on our door. It sounded like the person wanted to break the door down and just enter our house straight away. Where are you, ? you  Hutu devils, we will show you today. Open this door, open it. Come on, we know you can hear us. The person said with loud voices of men cheering. So my husband finally got downstairs and opened the door. We saw soldiers, most of them teenagers, who followed the man as he entered our house. Shaking with fear, my husband asked; Good morning gentlemen, please can I offer you some water to drink?? No cockroach, we didn't come for water, we came for blood. I rushed to hide my two little teenage daughters in the bathroom, told them not to make a  noise and not

Have a mental picture of how you would want to end the year in your mind everyday from now. Whatever you do from now in January will determine where you will be and the results you will get come December 2020. Think positive, have a plan for whatever you will do for each day, write whatever you want to do for the day down and follow them through. Don't just get up every day and just be thankful for life, live it and plan for it. Be accountable for any failures you might have the same as the successes you will enjoy. Be in control of each day of your life this 2020. The blame games, negative emotions and the moods of feeling down always all have to be controlled and blocked by you. Allow yourself in your spirit to think positive, pray more to God and decide to stay hopeful. We are not promised good or better days everyday but with these positive vibes everyday, why can't you have a great day. Remember, whatever you do, if you think you can or  think you cannot, either way
