ARE YOU READY?

The following conversation ensued between Ato and Beesiwa.

Beesiwa       :        Ato, how long have you been sitting here with these luggage?
Ato              :        For the past three days.
Beesiwa       :        [surprised] You don’t mean it, why? Has your landlord ejected
you?
Ato:             :        No, I heard the Son of Man is returning on May 21, so I sold
all my belongings except this few in order to go with Him.
Beesiwa       :        [laughing] But those you sold them to, aren’t they going with
Him when He comes? Anyway, today is May 22, what do you intend doing, since there is no sign of His arrival?
Ato              :        [disappointed] I guess I have to go back to my village and
                             come at a later date.
[Exit]

This is the way some people comprehend the second coming of Christ.  The book of Luke chapter twelve verse thirty five to forty stipulates clearly how believers should prepare for His second coming.  All we need to do is to be ready (spiritual readiness) – confess our sins and surrender our lives to Jesus, accept Jesus as our Lord and Saviour and continuously confess our sins whenever we err.

He says He will come at an hour when no one expects Him, so for any mortal being to predict a specific date is absolutely demonic from the pit of hell.  It is reported that some people in the U.S.A. and other parts of the world sold their properties and committed suicide.  If Jesus should appear right now, can you go with Him.  No one knows the hour, just be ready for His coming.

Deputy Minister writes Letter to Late President Atta Mills

Dear Sir, In adding my voice to the numerous befitting tributes occasioned by your untimely departure from this ‘terra firma’, I evoked this Roman Catholic prayer for the dead translated from Latin into English as: “May the angels take you into Paradise, may the martyrs welcome you on your way and lead you into the Holy City Jerusalem. May the choir of angels welcome you, and with Lazarus who once was poor, may you have everlasting rest.” I am convinced Jehovah heard and answered our prayers. Please prepare a place for us; for here is still hot and the unreasonableness and the political chicanery continues unabated. Sometimes I wonder whether this whole calling – politics, is worth it. Prof., for the purpose of this first letter I will not bore you with too voluminous a piece because I am aware you are a fresher (‘homo’) who has just joined the Dr Hilla Limanns, Munufies, the D.F. Annans, the Ala Adjeteys, the B.J. Da Rochas and many others who went long before you, so you must be ...
