"If he thinks the God of Israel can save him he shouldn't come. " - Nogokpo elder in viral video

Sometimes you need to weigh intentions and motives behind statements made by some people especially if they don't go as you expect. It will help you a lot to get their intentions even though it may not find you well.

The Archbishop Charles Agyinasare is a Man of Peace and has never incited any tribe against another here in Ghana.

You and I know very well that he didn't mean evil about the precious people of Nogokpo. If he did he wouldn't have come to apologise.

I hope you know there are many people from Nogokpo who are in his Church and would never want to undermine them and their hometown in anyway. He is a sane Man and wouldn't do that.

He didn't rise up on that fateful day to go and attack the people of Nogokpo like many people are making it sound. I know you're angry but calm down. You know very well that he didn't go to attack the people of Nogokpo.

It would shock you that the town Nogokpo was not even in his note. He was making a point and found it relevant to mention some places to back it which involved Nogokpo.

However, the mention of Nogokpo didn't find many people well and as a man of peace and humility came back to apologise and explain his intentions. If he meant attack on the people of Nogokpo I'm not sure he would have come back to apologise.

Now, if you say his apology was not sincere or you have any issue with it then you're a big hypocrite! You're a big hypocrite. Many of you making noise have made fun of Nogokpo before. Did you mean to even insult the people? Why do you think the Archbishop's case is different?

Now my point, I hope you read the quote I made in the beginning. I want the elder to know that Archbishop is a Man of peace and we are all people of peace and we seek peace to prevail but for him to make that empty statement, he should retract it!

"If he thinks the God of Israel can save him he shouldn't come" said by the elder. He should know that that's an empty threat!

Even if the Archbishop decides to honour the traditional leaders for the peace talk he should know that its not because he's afraid of any harm.

Many Christians are even afraid for the Archbishop because you feel that elder has some powers to do the Archbishop evil.
Funny!

Every demon is a demon whether its in the valley, mountain, water or shrine and they should never be feared. Demons are to be cast out! They're not to be feared.

Don't fear demonic power! Jesus is risen and it's proven in every territory of the world.
That elder should know that nobody fears his demonic powers. We have passed that stage of empty threats with demons and shrines long ago! Loooong ago!

The elder who made that statement should know better. He should never be deceived. The demons he trusts don't even trust themselves about what he may be thinking they

In this blog post, I will be talking about how I will describe a smartphone to a person from the 60's.

*Let's get into the context shall we?*

Describing a smartphone to someone from the 60s will be amazing. The person describing it to them will be seen like a god in a human's body.

To begin with, let's assume that the audience are from he 60's and I am the person doing the description. *(apologies if you didn't like the: "assuming the audience are from the 60's)*

The smartphone is a rectangular piece of well organized and upgraded electronic gadget made using both metal and plastic.

It also has an internet connection, making it easier for you to browse and explore the world with one click.

The smartphone is powered by a battery that could last a whole day when fully charged and it is being charged by electricity though. It has its own charger meant for it.

Let me start with my first article on Financial Literacy. This is the topic I delivered in one business community sometime in November 2021. I will not do the whole piece here all at once. It will be too much even for me. So, what I will do is just cut that old presentation into several pieces and update them into separate articles of at least 1,000 words each hoping that the piece will qualify for the Finance Writer Quest in Zealy Campaign.
My topic at that time was The Way to Financial Freedom. Others might rename it as Financial Security, but I would rather stick to my old title.
Not a Typical Article on Financial Literacy
At the outset, let me warn you, that it is not a typical article on financial literacy that you can read out there. Yes, some content might be familiar to you, but the biblical and theological foundations would be something that many would find surprising.
I have been searching for so long among my colleagues for this type of material, but I might be looking for something that might not be in existence or if somebody is doing it, perhaps, it is still in its infancy stage.
As a theological educator, I hope you pardon me, I cannot go on discussing something in the air as if you and I understand the same thing in the same way without first explaining where I am coming from. That provides the context and somehow facilitates better communication even in written form.
From a broader spectrum, I would say that I am coming from a Judeo-Christian point of view. I believe in God the Creator and I also believe that he did not abandon this world, even though many would find such a belief ridiculous in the face of numerous contradictions we are in today.
Given such a standard, I cannot talk of financial freedom without delineating first my source of information. Yes, I respect our common humanity. We are all the same in the eyes of the Creator whether we believe that He exists or not. That to me is given.
And the Creator I know did not leave us in the dark about the issues we are facing today. Theologians and Bible teachers like me may do, and churches too, but not God. He has given His Words and our task as humans is to examine the claims of God in this matter as revealed in His words. Of course, there are disagreements in dealing with current issues and that should be accepted given the reality of human limitations. They only become a shame on our part when we fail in our duty to make the message clear due to confusing voices from among us who claim to represent Him.
Before I leave my apologetic tone and go straight to my topic, I want to raise another point about the nature of the writing project. I recognize that to some extent my insights are premature and a little bit forced particularly in shifting from biblical history to the contemporary world. I still need to learn a way how to do it. So, if you can forgive me for such an offense, let me now go straight to our topic.
A Hypothetical Situation
In introducing our theme, let me begin with a hypothetical situation, that might be true for someone out there. This situation is about the possibility that a person can be amid vast opportunities that surround him, and yet he could not see them. Big changes are happening right before his nose, but he could not see them simply because he lacks the necessary tools or prerequisites to give him the capacity to appreciate and be grateful for what’s going on around him.
What I mean by tools is the necessary preparation of the mind and of the soul. The mind is prepared by relevant and solid information. This kind of information turns into knowledge once it is utilized to bring change.
The other kind of preparation is more difficult because it is how we respond to the lessons of life, whether as someone would say, we would either be better or bitter. Such a person can only be prepared if he has undergone a painful experience in life that one conference speaker describes as a “mind-blowing, soul-shaking, and seemingly world-ending experience.” I see such emotional preparation as very important for that person to see what’s going on around the world.
What COVID-19 and the lockdown did to us is to provide such kind of preparation. Responses vary to the current challenges that we are facing right now. Some just gave up and gave in to depression. Others just succumbed to fear and got paralyzed not knowing what to do. Others turned hopeless and no longer see a bright future ahead of them. But still, others see a different kind of world, a world filled with threats and at the same time opportunities.
Financial Freedom
In this article, as I share with you our topic about The Way to Financial Freedom, I just want you to keep this hypothetical situation in your mind. In the subsequent articles, we will return to it. For now, let us start by providing first a definition of financial freedom. What do we mean by this vision? What is financial freedom by the way?
I first heard this idea way back in 2009 among attendees of wealth courses conducted by a Filipino Chinese business community. Financial freedom for us is a vision of a future financial condition of a person or a family when his/their passive income exceeds his/their monthly expenses. This is a simple definition that I think many are familiar with.
Passive Income
A follow-up question is appropriate. What is passive income then? Again, this definition is common.
Passive income is different from active income. Active income is either the salary that you earn while working or the profit that you gain while doing small business. Passive income on the other hand is an income or profit that you gain without working for it. It is also called “money or a system working for you” and that’s what I see Hive can do for us if everything works out as I expect. Of course, I recognize that in new technologies like blockchain and cryptocurrency, nothing is certain.
In traditional finance, your money can work for you by way of investing in stocks, bonds, and other related financial products. But you can also lose money investing in these products when the market is in a downtrend. Investing in these vehicles requires understanding the general trend of the market, whether bearish or bullish.
I think that’s it for now. Again, I apologize if you find anything in this article not suitable to your taste, but that’s me, and I can’t deny myself.
In our next article, I will be writing about a biblical history that will somehow provide us with lessons to give us guidance on how to achieve this vision of financial freedom.
Grace and peace!
What is LeoFinance?
What is Hive?

The FBI and the DOJ owe me an apology. They lied to my father and divided my family. Hillary, Schiff, Biden, Obama, Comey all can go to hell! These lies divided my family, divided my country. ... And liberals have the audacity to shout down and silence those who don't agree with their liberal ideals. Disgusting!!!
I hate posting political info, ... this said, people need to know. Onward...

Shitposting is a difficult skill to learn and sharpen, it must flow from within, without thought or intent, never serious, always sincere, pure unapologetic spontaneity

Zelikow assembled a group of 34 academic, medical, and government apologists — the “Covid Crisis Group” — to write the authoritative report on the US handling of the “Covid 19 pandemic.” Once again.

Shiv (Historical Story)
Shiv ji was an Aghori monk. Who used to do penance in the forests of Kailash. He carried a trident with him and wore tiger skin as a garment. He used to wear many types of Rudraksha beads and kept his favorite snake kept by him hanging around his neck and spent most of the time in penance. He had a cow whom he named Nandi. He used to travel to far-flung areas many times and help people and do good deeds for them. Gradually they became prevalent and popular among the people. Brahma's son Daksha had a daughter named Sati who loved Shiva and wanted to marry him. Daksha considered himself greater than Shiva, that is why he did not listen to Sati. Shiva and Sati got married without Daksha's wish. One day in a ceremony, Shiva did not bow down to Daksha while standing in front of him. Daksh felt very insulted. He decided to take revenge. Daksha performed a yajna and invited many kings and sages except Shiva. Sati felt very bad. She went to meet her father. Daksha insulted Shiva in front of everyone. Sati could not tolerate this and she gave her life by jumping in the sacrifice of Yagya. Enraged, Shiva started the dance orgy. After that they reached there to kill Daksha. But after Brahma Dev apologized, he left King Daksh. After that Shiva left from there with the dead body of Sati. At that time tears were flowing from his eyes. Sati's body was cremated. For many days he got engaged in penance with such a sad heart. King Himwant and his wife Menadevi were devotees of Lord Shiva. King Himwant and his wife Menadevi had a daughter named Parvati. When Parvati started speaking, the first word that came out of her mouth was Shiva. She grew up to be a very beautiful girl. Meanwhile, Shivji, saddened by the death of his wife, had started a long meditation. Himwant was apprehensive that Lord Shiva might not accept Parvati as his wife because of being in deep meditation. He called Narada to solve the problem. Narad told him that Parvati could win Shiva's heart through penance. Himwant sent Parvati to Shiva only. Parvati worshiped and served him day and night. Shivji was very pleased with Parvati's devotion, but he decided to test her. He sent one of his devotees, a young Brahmin, to him. Devotees went to Parvati and said that it would not be right to marry Shiva who lives like a beggar. Parvati got very angry hearing this. She clearly said that she will not marry anyone except Shiva. Satisfied with his answer, Shiva agreed to marry Parvati. Himwant got both of them married with pomp. After a few years they had two sons. Whom he named Ganesh and Karthik.

Sri Krishna (Historical Story)
Bhojvanshi king Ugrasen used to rule in Mathura. His aggressor son Kansa removed him from the throne and himself became the king of Mathura. Once there was King Kansa who was the brother of Devaki. He was going to drop his sister Devaki at her in-laws house when on the way he fell asleep due to fatigue. He started going to his sister's in-laws house while sleeping in the chariot. Suddenly he had a dream. It was told in that dream that the eighth son born from the womb of your sister i.e. Devaki, whom you are happily taking to her in-laws house, will kill you. Kansh woke up from his sleep in panic. After Kansh tells about his dream. He asked Vasudev (Devaki's husband) to kill him. Then Devaki pleaded with Kansa and said that I myself will bring my child and hand it over to you, what will be the benefit of killing your brother-in-law who is innocent. Kansa obeyed Devaki and put Vasudev and Devaki in prison in Mathura. After some time in the prison, Devaki and Vasudev were blessed with a child. As soon as Kansa came to know about this, he came to the prison and killed that child. Similarly, Kansa killed the seven sons of Devaki and Vasudev one by one. When the turn of the eighth child came, the guard was doubled in the prison. Many soldiers were posted in the prison. But that day the deployed soldiers fell into a deep sleep due to fatigue and lack of sleep. Eighth son was born. It was raining heavily that day. Vasudev ji left after keeping baby Shri Krishna in the soup. Crossing the Yamuna, they reached Nanda's house in Vrindavan. Vasudev slowly opened the door and placed his son near Nanda and Yashoda. They were both asleep. Taking Nanda's daughter in his hands, Vasudev apologized to Nanda and Yashoda and started going towards Mathura. After a few hours he reached the Mathura jail. The soldiers were still sleeping. That daughter started crying as soon as she reached the jail. The soldiers were awakened by the sound of loud cries. As soon as Kansa got the news that Devaki had given birth to a child, he immediately came to the prison. Kansa snatched him and threw him brutally killed. Kansh is now free from fear. It's morning Nanda and Yashoda were very sad not to find their daughter and searched everywhere with their people for many days. But he could not find his daughter. Tired, he stopped the search and adopted that son. Whom he named Krishna, Slowly time passed and Shri Krishna grew up. Shri Krishna started playing his flute while creating Raas Leela with the Gopis in Gokul. All the residents of Gokul, animals and birds etc. would be very happy to hear the tune of his flute and they would love this sound very much. Shri Krishna along with his friends used to eat butter from other people's houses. Because of which the women of the village went to Yashoda with a complaint about Krishna. Shri Krishna used to love Radha in Gokul. Shri Krishna's anonymous stay was coming to an end. That's why Shri Krishna and Balram were sent to Ujjain for education. In Ujjain both the brothers started receiving education and diksha in the hermitage of Rishi Sandipani. In the same ashram, Shri Krishna befriended Sudama They were close friends. The discussions of their friendship were far and wide. Along with education, they came back after getting the knowledge of weapons. One day, through spies, Kansa came to know about the survival of the eighth son. On the other hand, Krishna also came to know that his real parents were imprisoned in Mathura. Kansa sent many soldiers to kill Krishna, but Krishna and the people of Gokul came together and killed those soldiers. Saddened by the failure of the soldiers every time, Kansa himself set out to kill Shri Krishna. There was a war between the two and Shri Krishna killed Kansa and again made Ugrasen the king of Mathura. Shri Krishna went to Dwarka after reconciling with his parents in Gokul. He established the city of Dwarka there and became the king of Dwarkanagari. There is a town named Amjhera in Dhar district of Madhya Pradesh. There was the kingdom of King Bhishmak at that time. He had five sons and a very beautiful daughter. Her name was Rukmini. She had dedicated herself to Shri Krishna. When she came to know from her friends that her marriage has been fixed. Then Rukmani sent a message to Shri Krishna through the hands of an old Brahmin. As soon as this message was received by Shri Krishna, he immediately left from there. Shri Krishna came and kidnapped Rukmini and brought her to Dwarkapuri. Shishupala also came following Shri Krishna whose marriage was fixed with Rukmini. A fierce battle took place in Dwarikapuri with the army of both the brothers Shri Krishna and Balram and Shishupala's army. In which Shishupala's army was destroyed. The marriage of Shri Krishna and Rukmini was done with great pomp and ceremony. Rukmani's status was at the top among all the queens of Shri Krishna. Shri Krishna also became the charioteer of the archer Arjuna's chariot in the war of Mahabharata. Shri Krishna had given many teachings to Arjuna during the war, which proved very helpful for Arjuna to fight the war. These teachings were the teachings of Gita which were told by Shri Krishna. This sermon is still famous by the name of Shrimad Bhagwat Geeta. Lord Shri Krishna had ensured the result of this war without raising the weapon in this war. In this war of Mahabharata, by winning religion over unrighteousness, the Pandavas had destroyed the entire Kaurava dynasty including the unrighteous Duryodhana. Duryodhana's mother Gandhari believed Lord Krishna to be the reason for the death of her sons and the destruction of the Kaurava dynasty. That's why after the end of this war, when Lord Krishna went to console Gandhari, then Gandhari, distraught with the grief of her sons, got angry and cursed Shri Krishna that the way my Kaurava dynasty was destroyed by fighting among themselves, In the same way your Yaduvansh will also be destroyed. After this Shri Krishna came to the city of Dwarka. Even after about 35 years of Mahabharata war, Dwarka was very peaceful and happy. Gradually the sons of Shri Krishna became very powerful and in this way the whole Yadu dynasty had become very powerful. It is said that once Samba, the son of Shri Krishna, insulted the sage Durvasa by being influenced by fickleness. After which Durvasa Rishi got angry and cursed Samba for the destruction of Yaduvansh. Along with being powerful, now sin and crime had increased a lot in Dwarka. Shri Krishna was very sad to see such an atmosphere in his happy Dwarka. He suggested his subjects to get rid of their sins by going to the banks of river Prabhas, after which everyone went to the banks of river Prabhas, but due to the curse of Durvasa Rishi, everyone there got drunk and started arguing with each other. Engaged. Their debate took the form of a civil war which destroyed the entire Yaduvansh. According to the Bhagavata Purana, it is believed that Shri Krishna was very distressed to see the destruction of his dynasty. It was because of his agony that he started living in the forest. One day when he was resting under a peepal tree in the forest in yoga nidra, a hunter named Jara mistook his leg for a deer and hit him with a poisoned arrow. This arrow fired by Jara pierced the sole of Shri Krishna's feet. Due to this piercing of the poisoned arrow, Shri Krishna died and after a few days the city of Dwarka, inhabited by Shri Krishna, also got immersed in the sea.

There are a lot of things I'd like to try as an artist. I guess one of them would be drawing the face without completing or adding certain parts. I found such a reference even before I thought of doing so. The photo was actually complete but when I got to this point in the drawing, it looked okay and so I left it that way and added the dynamics.
