“Good writing must be a constant oscillation between unselfconscious momentum and self-examination. You must look beyond your immediate impulse in order to avoid what’s easy, hackneyed, unexaminedly ideological, and what’s merely smooth and pleasant to the inner ear.”

Last week Sunday on my way back  from Church, i had a strong feeling that i should pray. The feeling was so great so i started praying undertone; because in was in a public bus. While praying the holy spirit drew my attention to something and that is what i am about to share.

I  was drawn to ”Who God is and how to communicate with Him”. Now, all religions pray as the Late Myles Munroe ever said. Muslims Pray, Buddhists Pray, Traditionalists Pray so do Christians Pray. All religions have got different ways of praying, different meanings of prayer  and different (gods) God . I am here to talk of the God of all Creations, the maker of heaven and earth and everything within. Above all said, Prayer has got nothing to do with religion. Therefore, Prayer is only an expression towards one’s belief. Answers to one’s prayer does not mean there has been a miracle. This is because before you prayed you were in expectant of an answer to whatever prayer you said. We don’t expect Miracles when we pray; we expect answers.

A miracle is when you gain answers without expectations. When you have no hope but there comes hope. When you are caught up on your feet.

The difference between all other prayers is, Christians pray not for answers but for miracles. Christians pray, knowing the capabilities of God. The prayers of Christians have no routine. Christians develop habits for prayer that is why Christians need no special place to pray. Christians can pray not only in church, on their knees or before the altar. They can pray while driving, while cooking, while working, while trying to sleep, while walking, while standing; at any point in time because their God is the God of ALL-TIMES.

While other religions would have to face a direction, get certain items in place, put on a special gown before they could say a Prayer, Christians can say a prayer at any given time even while taking a bath. Christians need no prescribed routine to Communicate with God. They only have to make praying a habit like any other thing because God is always ever ready to listen at any given time.

Christians gain both answers and miracles to their prayers. My Kind of God is not the God of format neither is He seasonal. He is the God of All times.

I’ve  been wondering why the 1 Pesewa coin denomination among the Ghanaian currency has not been patronized ever since it was introduced and put in circulation. Today, i just want to talk about the 1 Pesewa coin. I think the general Ghanaian public has given the 1 Pesewa coin no recognition especially in the market.

I think Ghana has not been fair with the 1 Pesewa coin because it has gained no recognition in the market. It is only accepted in the banks and few shopping centers like the Accra Mall, A &C Mall and few Shopping Malls in the country. Whiles all the exiting currencies are accepted in all forms of transactions in the country, 1 pesewa ( 1GP ) happens to be facing rejections in most forms of transaction in the country and my question is ” WHY SHOULD IT BE SO”?

Personally i have over 20 pieces of the 1 Pesewa coin which makes 20 Pesewas. Now, 20 Pesewas can be added to 80 Pesewas; making 1 Cedi, the price of a bottled water but i can not spend except i get to any of the Big Shopping Malls in the country or perharps get it to a bank.

Looking at the different coins above, each have got a different design which symbolizes Ghanaian heritage and traditions.  So now, would you bear with me if i should say disregarding the 1 Pesewa coin literally means we are discarding a part of Ghana’s Tradition and Heritage?

I think Something should be done or Bank of Ghana should stop wasting money in producing 1 PESEWA COIN among Ghanaian currency.

The Raggae and hiplife artists, Wutah have finally sort out their differences. ( at long last). Wutah Afriyie could not hide the on-cooking surprise from their fans when he took to his Facebook page and wrote ” In His time he makes all things beautiful, Back for the music, back for the fans, back for good”. ( well i think it is the best decision they could ever make as far as music is concern )

The group which was formed years ago came into the limelight when they placed second to Praye ( the-already-faded-out and the yet-to-be resurrected group) during the maiden edition of the Nescafe Africa Revelation music competition in Accra.

They had a debut album; ” Anamontuo” with songs like; ‘Gossy Gander’,  ‘Big Dreams’, ‘Adonko’ which earned them eleven music Awards nominations including The Most Popular Song of the Year, Album of the Year, Best Male Vocal Performance, Hip-life song of the Year, Hip-life Album of the Year, New Artist of the Year,  Hip-life Artists of the year, Song writer of the Year, Raggae artist of the Year and many more nominations which boosted their fans, opportunities and popularity.

They are back this time with many surprises after they went their separate ways for almost 8 years or more. Well, during their separation they both came out with singles which i think would have been a success if they were together.  There were also speculations during their separation as to who/what could be the cause of their break-up. While others pointed hands at Wutah Kobby, others did at Wutrah Afriyie and Money for being the cause of their break-up. (Thanks be to God for your COME-BACK)
