RIGHTEOUS TROTRO

“May the Lord harass you with a Tsunami of Blessings”, he declared... and the usual Amen could be heard in every space of the Trotro (a.k.a Troski – public bus). I, however, responded with a cuss. Yeah, you read right…a cuss!  Why? Kindly follow the read.

I stay at Baatsona, somewhere in Accra. Every morning, I count on Troski drivers and their conductors to get to my workplace. Today, May 11 2017, I got to the bus stop but for some weird reason, I took a snapshot of the troski I boarded.  I got aboard the troski and little did I know that it was one of those ‘Righteous Troskis’ - public buses with someone preaching to [pretentious] passengers. I had just given the fare to the conductor (a.k.a Mate) when a man in a blue shirt on a row [just at the fore of me] stood up to share the word of God. He sought the permission of the driver to preach and greeted those (passengers) on the bus…which I thought was cool because some will not even seek permission.

He ushered us into a season of praise in worship [with dots of prayer] and then mini-prophetic declarations before sharing the word of God. It was during the prophetic declarations that I received my ‘baptism’ [by sprinkling LoL]. He declared, “May the Lord harass you with a Tsunami of Blessings”…and I was instantly baptized with SALIVA on my face! Yeah, saliva! Eeew, might have been the right expression. In fact the cuss came from my lips like I was also prophesying.

I know that a ‘certain Christian’ would have urged me to shout, 'I receive it'. I say to such, HELL NO! Even if it were the Lord Jesus, I would have responded in like manner [I am human!]. I would have even added, "Rabbi, why spitteth thou on my face?"

Now there were some women seated beside me and they had the gut to affront me because I cussed a ‘man of God’… and I asked them, “whom am I?  Animal of God?” Spare me pleeeeeease! I am not a gullible fella who will let those stuffs slide without a comment. With that kind of gullible mindset, many people are abused… all in the name of "he's a man of God".


Dear Reader, I am not an enemy of the Gospel. All I [simply] demand of Preachers on ‘Righteous Troskis’ is to cover their mouths with any appropriate stuff! I am not ready for another ‘Saliva Baptism’ and neither are you!

'Cutpurse Saints'

“None of our members would steal money from the Church’s coffers”.  This assertion is commonly associated with churches that by nature are involved in the holy and noble mission of seeking to win souls for Christ and His Kingdom. The leaders are mostly devoted and mission- driven. They operate with the mindset that all those (church members, board members, etc.) aboard the mission ship are working towards the same direction, and they think and feel that there is no need to institute stringent controls to deactivate any temptations for individuals. Within these settings, there are practically no effective controls, and that is when ‘Cutpurse Saints’ enter the scene to take advantage of the church community. I am not trying to paint a picture (existence of fraud) that does not exist. After all what benefit do I get by painting such an image. I share in the concerns by people who want the right systems to be put in place to sanitize the church environment. For instance, why would...

Men of which God?

Photo credit: Parables Gh It's been a struggle for me to begin this write-up. My thoughts have been flooded with emotions...  Let me state that this is not an attack on anyone. I'm trying to speak the mind of many who are afraid to speak... because of ‘ touch not my anointed’. I dare to say that if Ghana (even Africa) were to be plunged into destruction, it would not be the sole responsibility of corrupt politicians…but a ‘certain men of God’, their hallelujah children and those of you who kept quiet and allowed them the space to mock the freedom and peace of our beloved country.  Nowadays, I find it difficult to tune in to any radio station…because these people who purport to be messengers of God will not let us live our lives out of joy but fear and panic. I will always appalled by their outrageous comments. Some years back, there was sanity in the religious arena... there was sanity on our radio stations... I remember people were very discipline and responsibl...
