Series 7: Rahab
In Series 7 we look at the importance of allowing lulls in between major events. We will see why you need to hear from God and take strategic decisions before you make major moves.
Fringe life
You know how it is when you are not in and you are not out? Hanging out maybe. Going with the flow. Not dry and not wet. Not cold, not hot. Not blue, not red. Lika dis and lika dat. It can seem safe. A safe place to dodge criticism, branding and identification. A life of no real identity.
The Red Sea
As swiftly as the arrows fly
Word came by hue and cry
Pharaoh said to go
We are free of blows
Win every challenge
A major investment that brings the kind of returns that move you from being a petty trader to a medium scale entrepreneur is likely to come with such risks that many stop on the ground floor of business and career. What can be even more stressful is not so much the risk at any one time.
Go deep and wide
A round of misbehaviour brought on this insight. My firm conviction is that airport tolls have become too expensive! A count of Ghana cedis for hanging around the airport for less than an hour. Naaaaa…. So these days, I do a terribly naughty thing.
Series 6: Moses
How do we make this cycle of mountain top living easier to manage? Three suggestions…
Exodus – it is good to be confused
That afternoon years ago, Moses had heard the strangest conversation. And since then, life has cascaded from one trauma to another. Moses had plummeted from prince to fugitive.
Is God with me?
So is God real? I think that if we are not even convinced by the many confirmations in the order of creation, the beauty of nature, and the love expressed in provision of sun, water, food, health and relationships, we should be convinced by the fulfilling of prophecy. That God is real.
Striking the iron when it’s hot
Not all opportunities are good. I can assure you. This is because opportunities are not only occurrences, they are significant junctions that can affect your direction for good or confusion. New job with shinier prospects.
Roll back the darkness
I keep praying, drinking in the kissing of heaven and earth on my verandah. It’s speaking peace. Kenya, Cote D’Ivoire, Sudan will hear the voice of treaties and cries, as Angola and Rwanda seem to have done. Don’t fret.
