INSOMNIA – Inability to sleep










Insomnia is a sleep disorder that is known for its symptoms of unrest and inability to sleep. It affects millions of people worldwide and its effects can be devastating.



Insomnia commonly leads to daytime sleepiness, lethargy, poor concentration, and a general feeling of unwell both mentally and physically. Mood swings, irritability, and anxiety are common symptoms of insomnia.

Insomnia can be caused by psychiatric and medical conditions (eg. cough, arthritis, diarrhoea, depression, asthma, chronic pain etc.), unhealthy habits (eg. eating late, sleeping late, bright light, dehydration etc.) substances abuse (eg. alcohol, tobacco, narcotics etc.) and certain biological factors. The type of food one eats influences his ability to sleep well as well. 

To prevent insomnia, you must increase intake of Oats, Malt beverages, Honey, Carbohydrates and lettuce. You must also reduce or eliminate stimulant beverages, spices, chocolate, proteins, soft drinks, meat and cheese from your diet. More importantly also, don’t forget to pray before you sleep.

Ebony is not in Heaven!!!

The issue of death continues to be a mystery to many. Many people throughout world history have tried to explain this mystery but none has been able to answer all the questions associated with it. Science has not been able to explain, neither has philosophy been able to tell exactly what happens to a person when he dies.  The only book that contains all the answers related to death is the  Holy Bible.  The purpose of this message is to bring our minds back to the word of God and to reiterate the clear position of the Bible concerning the state of the dead. In Ghana and like other countries, the issue of death becomes a topic for discussion anytime a popular person dies. In such situations, we often hear lay people and even prominent Pastors make statements about the dead which are not Biblical. These statements go contrary to the explicit position of the Bible (The inspired word of God). The death of Ebony (a Ghanaian dance hall musician) who died in a motor accident on 8th February

One Saturday after church a friend said to me, "is it good to have high levels of good cholesterol? If it is good as you - medical people say, why should there be a limit?". Like my good friend, there may be other people who are yearning for answers to these questions and more. However, cholesterol is one of the most misunderstood topics in health. In this reflection series, I will talk about cholesterol; where we get it from, how good or how bad it is, how to keep it under control and possibly how to prevent complications that come with it. Cholesterol; what is it? Cholesterol is a waxy type of fat which is found in the blood and moves throughout the body. Since fats do not dissolve in water, cholesterol does not dissolve in the blood which is water-based, and for that matter it floats in the blood as it moves in the blood vessels. This explains why it can be found everywhere in the body. Cholesterol; where do we get it from? It is important to know that the body produces
