The Lord of Hosts!

According to Mariam Webster’s dictionary Hosts can be defined as a great number or a multitude. In the bible, hosts and armies are used interchangeably. For example, A host of angels or an army of angels. Psalm 103:21 Yes, praise the LORD, you armies of angels who serve him and do his will! The host of angels do His pleasure, they are stationed to do God's will all the time and they are mandated to do what pleases God. Psalm 148 Praise the LORD! Praise the LORD from the heavens! Praise him from the skies! Praise him, all his angels! Praise him, all the armies of heaven! Praise him, sun and moon! Praise him, all you twinkling stars! Praise him, skies above! Praise him, vapors high above the clouds! Let every created thing give praise to the LORD, for he issued his command, and they came into being. He set them in place forever and ever. His decree will never be revoked. Praise the LORD from the earth, you creatures of the ocean depths, fi...

The Yoke of the Ox...

The oxford dictionary describes a yoke as a wooden crosspiece that is fastened over the necks of two animals and attached to the plough or cart they are to pull. It is used to join two oxen together so that there can be unity in what they are doing and they get the job done faster. The yoke is usually custom made and carved to fit the shape of the neck of the ox. When a farmer wants to train a younger ox, he does it with an older ox who understands what to do and is experienced, because the older ox has been allowed to grow to full maturity, so it is the best partner to be yoked with, it is reliable and it will teach the younger one how to pull, how to settle down under the yoke and how to be efficient. The younger ox is just supposed to submit to it and follow the older ox’s leading, but sometimes it is half in and half out of the yoke and not completely under it because it doesn’t want to be yoked (that is to submit and follow the older ox’s leading) and this leads to huge scars ...

Cane or Candy?

I remember what it was like many years ago in Airforce Primary school when I dreaded my class teachers’ painful cane (popularly called Pankere) so much. My wonderful teacher Mr Essien would ask us to buy a cane and bring it to school with us on resumption day, imagine after having a wonderful holiday, what a way to welcome children back to school. He would have about 40 canes in different sizes lined up behind his desk. It was a dreadful sight to behold, and he didn’t hesitate to use any cane at will on us, I dreaded that cane. We had to cram our numeric tables because if Mr Essien called anyone to the front of the class to recite it and they missed out only a number, Ah!!! It was doom for that person. It was a dreadful sight, seeing the faces of my classmates change to a mask of pure shock, their eyes suddenly got huge and, their faces became red. I can never ever forget my numeric tables now because of my experience with Mr Essien I can probably recite them while sleeping. Th...
