... like a thief in the night.

Helloooo?

Why am I still here?

And why are YOU still here?

Weren't we supposed to have gone to heaven a week ago? Did we miss the bus?

Well... Harold Camping and friends got it all wrong! Before 22nd May, 2011 I had never heard of him or of his ‘special revelation’ of the rapture, so that I could prepare, you know. Wink, wink. So I was surprised to have heard that I may have missed the bus if indeed Camping’s prediction came true on 21st May, 2011. I mean, how come I heard the news a day late?!! I'd like to think I'm on top of my internet news reading game. Wink, wink.

The angels don’t know when. Even Jesus Christ, Himself, doesn’t even know the exact day He’s expected to come... so how come mere human beings are making predictions on behalf of God?

Don’t listen to Harold Camping or anybody who claims he/she knows the exact date for the end of the world. According to Wikipedia, this is not the first time he has made such predictions. False prophecies and foolishness at its best.

For your reading pleasure and encouragement, please read Matthew 24 and 1 Thessalonians 5:2. Live your life in light of eternity and be always ready. Because... He will come like a thief in the night.

If you don’t believe there is anything such as end times or rapture, well... this post is not for you. Check back another time.

A word to the wise...

Heaven, Unlimted Space



"If we were to go to heaven with our possessions and things, our containers like in Tema Harbour, heaven would be congested before we get there."
~ Will not identify the person who said it.

So... the above statement was made at my Bible study group while we were discussing Matthew 19:16-30, in the context of priorities sometime last year. I was so ticked that I had to write it down at that time. I was reviewing this note book and I couldn't help but smile.



The truth? Heaven is Unlimited in Space. Even if God would allow us to get there with our perishable stuff, there would be enough room for all our stuff. Our perception of the Unlimited God is often limited by our own limited human wisdom and understanding (Pun intended). However, the point of the study discussion is that God wants us to be focused on Him, the Eternal God.

There is a song that a number of churches in Ghana sing that goes like this:

(You are) bigger than what people saaay -Call out
You are bigger than what people say -Chorus

You are good, You are kind,
You are bigger than what people say.

Amen,
Lady Akofa.
