PREFACE God referred to David as a man after His
own heart, I have not ceased wondering
about what could make David so much of
a favorite to be described in that manner?
The apostle John was referred to as the
disciple whom Jesus loved; David and
Jonathan exhibited a kind of relationship
built on love and trust, and so many other
characters in the scriptures also exhibited
such kind of relationship in the early
Christian ministry and livelihood.
What happened after the first century
believers passed on this same kind of faith
to us? Where is the first love we
professed to have had for the church and
our fellow humans in the faith? One
cannot in any way comprehend the love
of God for himself without first of all
loving other humans, to love the brethren
will mean we first loved ourselves.
How practical can love be? Is it possible
for us to walk in love in this era? What in
reality is love? Many have sought the
answers to this question, and have come
to zilch. As you explore the contents of
this book, you will understand that true
love emanates from God, whose love goes
beyond anything describable. I trust that
you will be able to link the contents of this
3
book to your personal life, and as you
walk in love towards the brethren, the
father will take delight in you and bless
your entire generation through and after
you.
THE STORY
I reported three weeks after school
resumed from vacation, new students had
been admitted into form one, and those
who were borders were already on
campus, most of my colleagues, of course
now seniors had already chosen their
school sons depending on the Junior High
Schools they came from, how good
looking they were, which regions or parts
of the country they came from, and still
some which tribe or ethnic they belonged
to. I asked a friend who his school son was
and how he got him to become his school
son, ‘I don’t have one yet, and I don’t
4
intend taking one either,’ he responded.
And so it was, just as he said it, even
though in actual fact he mentored several
students because he was a good leader
and everyone respected him.
I walked up the stairs in house three to
join some friends of mine who were
sitting up there and I saw this wonderful
person who was so unique among all the
students I had seen so far in the school, I
asked, ‘what is your name?’ and he
responded. ‘Owusu Francis Junior,’
immediately I heard someone call him Mr.
Bean, and I went like wow, you do really
look like him. I liked him from the onset,
but I still had to give up on him because
he told me his school father was upstairs,
I was disappointed but I still hoped I will
get someone to call my own school son.
During that same week on Thursday at the
dining hall after classes when we went in
for lunch, I met him again, this time he
had been disadvantaged because he did
not get food to eat, I could not just sit
down and watch him go out without
getting food to eat, it felt like I was in his
place, so I called him and gave my food to
him, though he was reluctant at first, I
managed to convince him to accept it, like
a miracle, I was satisfied just because he
5
accepted the food and ate it there,
thanked me and went away. I can’t
actually recall the next time I saw him
again, but I do still remember every
significant moment we shared together
on campus. ‘Significant’ because on these
moments, we spent time discussing the
Bible, our families, and ourselves, and we
never parted without affecting each
other’s life. He was one of the best things
that ever happened to me in Kumasi High
School.
In his own words, this is how he puts his
experience in this relationship, “I am
highly short of words and I really do not
know what to say. There was this strange
student I once met while descending the
staircase in house three, Kumasi High
School, he asked me of my name and
other crucial information about myself, I
surprisingly answered him to the detailed
fact about myself. During the same week I
remember very well it was on Thursday I
met this same person at the dining hall. As
a fresher, I was not familiar with the vigor
students used to go to the dining hall, so
unluckily for me I had no food to eat. On
my way to the dormitory, I heard this
strange student call me and asked me to
take his food and eat it whiles he goes
hungry, oh no! I said, but he
6
wholeheartedly gave me the food and as a
hungry fresher, I took it and ate it happily.
I thanked him very much and from then
onwards he has turned this little fresher’s
life around,
Joseph Zotoo, whom I now call future
Jones, has been someone I would like
everybody to dream of and relate to.
These words am writing are just belittling
him, but there is nothing I can do but to
write them. Future, you have been a
brother, father, cousin, friend and a family
to me. You’ve taught me great moral,
academically, spiritually and in every
sphere of my life, you have put me ahead
of my friends and mates in everything,
and you changed my tongue, attitude
among others. You imparted numerous
knowledge to me, which people now seek
after and confine in. Immediately I heard
you’ve started your English orals, my
heart wept, thinking you will be gone
forever. Can I live without your presence
on Kuhis land? Are you a God sent? An
Angel? Or God himself? Who are you that
can change a fresher’s way of life and
make him so bright in school, at home and
even in church? Whenever I think of you
leaving me behind, my heart weeps, but I
know your words live and they never die.
Indeed you have fought a good fight in
7
this land and I know the Lord who
rewards diligently, honorably, massively,
will perfect you and make you a brighter
light that shines than the sun anywhere
you find yourself. To others you may say
goodbye, to still others you may say see
you later, but to me I will say see you at
Jesus’ feet after the life we live here on
earth.”
Owsh! Thank you very much for those
words Junior. For the sake of my direction
in bringing out how my relationship with
Junior and Robert helped me to focus on
God’s love for me even as I loved Junior, I
will use the very questions Junior asked
himself even though he did not expect any
answer.
8
CAN I LIVE WITHOUT YOUR PRESENCE ON
KUHIS LAND?
In as much as I had lived on Kuhis land for
approximately two years before Junior
came, I can say that I had a good company
of friends who made my stay on campus
very comfortable and lively, and am very
grateful for all those friends, I love them
all and I thank them for being with me all
those times, but life after Junior joined me
on Kuhis land was exceptional, I never
knew life could be so meaningful when
there is someone to love you and
someone you can love. It’s not as though I
had never fallen in love before, but this
was TRUE LOVE. I could see the love
Apostle Paul talked about in his letter to
the Romans when he said,
“Love must be sincere, hate what is evil;
cling to what is good. Be devoted to one
another in brotherly love. Honor one
another above yourself.” Romans 12:9-
10.
SINCERE- without pretense or deceit,
never was there a situation when Junior
gave up on me, my counsel was the best
to him, and my opinion was the ultimate.
Always ready to listen to what I have to
say about a particular situation, not that I
was perfect, but he trusted that my
9
decision concerning any situation was
based on nothing else but the word of
God. If you have someone who can trust
you so much and hold you in such a high
esteem, carry out all your instructions
without murmuring and frown on any
advice from a third party that will end in
deceit, then you have no option than to
place a high value on such a person and to
love him beyond all odds. That is how
come you can trust that God loves you as
long as you consider Him the Head and
Supreme one in all your dealings with
Him.
HATE WHAT IS EVIL- In an institution,
where in spite of the good teachings we
received from our teachers, pastors and
even among ourselves; wickedness still
abound, profane language still wafting in
the air, even in the ‘jama’ songs that were
chanted during moments of happiness,
colleagues picking on themselves and still
some teachers perpetrating evil against
students, none of these showed up in my
relationship with Junior. He never uttered
profane language even under duress
against me because he had a reputation
to protect and the love we shared to
guard against anything that could make it
wax cold.
10
CLING TO WHAT IS GOOD- Did I not
exhibit some flaws that Junior could take
cognizance of and call to a halt whatever
we professed to be love? Yes I did, but all
he took notice of in me was the good
aspects of my person; my devotion to
God, diligence towards academic
excellence, conscious effort made
towards respecting everyone and loving
them just as I loved myself and many
others.
HONOR ONE ANOTHER ABOVE
YOURSELVES- I once heard my pastor say
a man loves only two kinds of people in
his life. First he loves those higher than
himself in terms of authority and second
he loves those beneath himself in terms of
authority, but fights the one at same level
with him. This is why even marriages
where wives try to share authorities with
husbands collapse and cannot stand the
test of time. The truth is, we are not
better than anybody God made, but can I
also tell you, nobody is better than us. I
think Junior and I succeeded in loving
each other because I regarded him as one
higher than myself as very valuable and
he regarded me as such, this made us
respect each other and ensured we
apologized to the other when either is at
fault. Having exhausted all that is
11
pertinent in Apostle Paul’s letter to the
Romans, you can now tell why I describe
this as TRUE LOVE.
Living on Kuhis land as a matter of fact
was sort of hell to me anytime Junior was
not in school and more particularly during
my last days in high school when he was
on vacation and I was still in school
writing my final exams. During those days
I could put myself in his shoes, trying to
figure out what it will feel like or it would
really look like when am gone, I was not
surprised when he wrote that or better
still asked himself that question because I
have asked myself the same question over
and over again in his stead just as Apostle
Paul again encourages us to do in his
letter to the Hebrews when he says,
“Remember those in prison as if you were
their fellow prisoners, and those who are
mistreated as if you yourselves were
suffering.” Hebrews 13:3.
In this instance, it was not ‘as if’, but the
reality, because I was actually feeling it.
And this made me now understand very
well why the disciples were troubled
when Jesus was always talking about his
departure,
12
“my children, I will be with you only a
little longer, you will look for me, and just
as I told the Jews, so I tell you now;
where I am going, you cannot come.”
John 13:33.
“Do not let your hearts be troubled, Trust
in God, trust also in me.” John 14:1.
His presence was enough for them, what
more could a man need when he has one
who knows just how to get him nourished
both naturally (physically) and spiritually,
one who spoke the right words just at the
right time when you needed the exact
words to refresh you, One who provided
anything you needed just upon naming it,
one who showed you how much he loved
you and made you feel as though you
were the most important person in the
world.
But the truth was that, Jesus had to go
just as I had to go; when the purpose for
which you find yourself in a place is
accomplished, you have no business
staying there a day longer than you are
meant to. I had completed and it was time
for me to live, purpose for going to Kuhis
accomplished, now time for departure
and nothing could change that.
Notwithstanding that, there was hope,
TRUE LOVE never separates, and in the
13
words of John Paul Jackson he says, ‘True
love is much more like the glue that binds
together, it creates on entity out of two,
the two become one flesh.’
“On that day, you will realize that I am in
my father, and you are in me and I am in
you” John 14:20.
That’s all True love is about, oneness. I in
Junior, and Junior in me and we are both
in Christ Jesus. This is why it is impossible
to love anyone beyond how much you
love yourself. The truth is Junior and me
both have the same Spirit, and that is the
Spirit of God, whom also Jesus promised
his disciples that He will take His place
while He is gone. He said to them,
“Because I have said these things, you
are filled with grief. But I tell you the
truth; it is for your good that I am going
away. Unless I go away, the counselor
will not come to you; but if I go, I will
send him to you.” John 16:6-7.
In Junior’s case, if I do not go away, he
cannot benefit fully from the precious gift
of our fellowship with the only thing we
have in common, the Sweet Holy Spirit.
Junior has no cause to worry again about
my absence on Kuhis land, because he is
not alone, am with him in Spirit, in as
14
much as this is the same Spirit that Jesus
promised us.
The reality of the matter is that, we
Christians must grasp the fact that we are
one just as has been stipulated in the Holy
Scriptures,
“There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor
free, male nor female, for you are all one
in Christ Jesus.” Galatians 3:28.
Now Junior can live on Kuhis land and
anywhere in the world and my presence
with him is guaranteed in the Spirit.
ARE YOU A GOD SENT?
I still remember very well how that a
friend of mine succeeded in convincing
me to choose all my schools in the Ashanti
region even though prior to that time, I
had no relative there and visited there
only once, and even that once, I was very
young by then when I embarked on an
expedition with my cousins who came
from the Netherland. Most of the time, I
regretted having gone to a school that
was very far from home; especially when
most of my friends who stayed in Kumasi
went home during the weekends. I’d
always pray to God to speed up the
15
seconds and minutes so that the time will
just run as fast as it can for me to leave
school and come home as soon as its
vacation. But the story changed when
Junior showed up, then I realized I was
sent, my coming to Kumasi High School
was not an accident, but for a reason, to
be the joy, love and attention that Junior
needed to survive on that land.
This was a student who was very unique
from the rest of the student body. When I
say unique, I know everyone is especially
different from the other because that is
the handiwork of God to show how much
He cares about each and every one of us
individually,
“I am fearfully and wonderfully made”
Psalm 139:14.
Out of over seven billion people on the
earth today, no two people have the same
thumb print; this is a proof of the
uniqueness from above. But due to the
societies that we grow up in, we develop
some traits which in general give us away
as to where we are coming from without
us even having to tell people where we
came from. Here is the distinction, Junior
was born and soiled in the Ashanti region,
he had his kindergarten right through to
16
JHS education just as most of the students
who came from the same background as
him, yet, he was so exceptional in speech-
eloquent and impeccable English, very
cultured with refined manners-never
abusive and always obeyed rules
regarding our stay on campus; as a matter
of fact, it was difficult for most of the
students to acknowledge the fact that
they all had the same opportunities that
Junior had, but turned out to be different
compared to him. This is to say, Junior had
actually prepared himself for the entire
world while they only furnished
themselves for their region or better still
the nation Ghana.
Just as Joseph was hated for dreaming
wild dreams and preparing himself to
affect and rule the whole world by his
brothers who thought it was better for
him to be submissive and think of the
least of the birthrights that will be
accorded him because he was the
youngest,
“Joseph had a dream and when he told it
to his brothers, they hated him all the
more” Genesis 37:5.
Junior was no exception, he was despised
and picked on, just because he was
different, even those who pretended to
be friends gave up and joined others to
17
mock him anytime he was mocked, this
was what I did when I heard someone call
him Mr. Bean, and I agreed with the
person and we all laughed, not knowing
he did not like it, am sorry huh! Living on
Kuhis land wouldn’t have been fair with
Junior at all if I had not been there to give
him the condition he had from the days
he was being nurtured as a kid and also
explain why he found himself in such an
environment that was very contradictory
to the one he grew up in. an environment
where he is no longer the king of other
peoples heart, where his opinion doesn’t
count anymore, and his right to even ask
questions is labeled as rebellion. There
was countless number of times when he
would run to me very sad and unhappy,
sometimes I could see from his face he
had cried his eyes out all because he had
been scorned by people who claimed to
have been the ideal friends that he
needed. But thanks to God, He found me
a faithful servant to send to Junior,
“Peace be unto you; as my father has
sent me, even so send I you.” John 20:21.
To do what for Junior? Again it is
stipulated,
“The lord your God wins victory after and
is always with you. He celebrates and
18
sings because of you, and he will refresh
your life with His love.” Zephaniah 3:17.
That is it, the Lord our God sent me to
Junior, so that through me, He might
refresh his life with the love that He
compels me to love Junior with.
The truth is, we Christians are sent to the
world to do just one thing, preach the
good news about the love God has for all
mankind, how? By loving God, ourselves,
and everyone;
“This is the message you heard from the
beginning; we should love one another,”
1 John 3:11.
Again it is written,
“This is my command; love each other.”
John 15:17.
19
ARE YOU AN ANGEL?
TRUE LOVE is a call to servant hood.
Angels are spiritual beings who are
messengers of God; many a times, God
sent angels to His people with a message
or a mission to get accomplished on earth.
An Angel who came with a message most
often remained in the spiritual being and
this scared or terrified the people they
were conveying the messages to.
“Then an angel of the Lord appeared to
him, standing at the right side of the
alter of incense, when Zechariah saw
him, he was startled and was gripped
with fear.” Luke 1:11-12.
“The angel answered, ‘I am Gabriel, I
stand in the presence of God, and I have
been sent to speak to you and to tell you
this good news.” Luke 1:19.
“But the angel said to her, ‘do not be
afraid,’ Mary, you have found favor with
God.” Luke 1:30.
Angels sent however with a mission to
accomplish on earth usually come in an
earthly body. Inferring from the book of
Genesis, reading the whole of the
eighteenth chapter, you will realize there
were three visitors Abraham had while
sitting outside his house in the afternoon,
20
but then you get the distinction in chapter
nineteen that two were actually angels,
“The two angels arrived at Sodom in the
evening, and Lot was sitting in the
gateway of the city, when he saw them,
he got up to meet them and bowed down
with his face to the ground.” Genesis
19:1.
They come with a blessing for the
righteous and destruction for the wicked.
Also, angels are servants given to men to
serve them. Is it not very disturbing that
God made man and man made slaves out
of his own kind?
“Are not all angels ministering spirits
sent to serve those who will inherit
salvation?” Hebrews 13:2.
I was always happy when an opportunity
was granted me to help Junior with
something. On one occasion I remember
when the tap in our dormitory was not
flowing, I was awake at around two
o’clock after midnight and went to the
masters bungalow to fetch water, when I
came back, I sent someone to call Junior
and we shared that water, I was more
happy when he did not ask where the
water came from but took cognizance of
the fact that I may be a senior because
21
school made it so, but angels are meant to
serve and that was what I did. All of us are
angels in one way or the other, which is
why servant hood cannot be relegated in
our lives as Christians if we claim we love
the brethren. We must reciprocate the
attitude of servitude, this is very
important, we must learn to execute our
duties as angels sent to bless, protect,
inspire, encourage and practice whatever
has to do with serving.
“Last night an angel of the God whose I
am and whom I serve stood beside me
and said, ‘Do not be afraid Paul, you
must stand trial before Caesar; and God
has graciously given you the lives of all
those who sail with you.’” Acts 27:23.
This is an angel in his angelic office of a
guard. Countless number of times in
Paul’s expedition throughout the book of
Acts, there were angels to carry out one
or more responsibilities in his life just so
the word of God will reach the end of the
world. The person you are with at any
moment of time may be destined to be
the hope of the world in the generations
to come, so keep your perspectives right,
be the angel to see him or her through at
every phase of his or her life.
22
Above all, “Do not forget to entertain
strangers, for by so doing, some people
have entertained angels without
knowing it.” Hebrews 13:2. Junior made
this a reality to me, God sends angels to
us every now and then, Junior was my
angel and this angel I will never forget his
ministry in my life.
ARE YOU GOD?
This is one question that many people find
very difficult to answer, theologians are
still not certain as to what the answer to
this question should be, atheists don’t
even believe there is a God, and still some
think it is very blasphemous to compare
oneself with God, even Christians who
believe they have been saved still doubt if
they can say yes or no to this question.
My response however may exasperate
any other person who does not hold the
same views or opinions that I am holding
onto about God, Junior and I however
discussed this issue several times when I
23
was with him on campus and so this is just
like a reminder and to affirm my stand on
this issue. The argument about Jesus
being God or not is still bubbling because
Christians still find themselves entangled
in the loop of interpreting scriptures with
the words which human wisdom teaches,
hence, find the Bible contradictory and
the so called argument of literates and
professors very plausible and persuasive.
This is however not the story of the Spirit
filled Christian, what is our story then?
“Now we have received, not the spirit of
the world, but the Spirit of God; that we
might grasp/comprehend/know the
things that are freely given to us of God.
Which things also we speak not in the
words which human wisdom teaches, but
which the Holy Ghost teaches; expressing
spiritual truths in spiritual words. The
man without the Spirit does not accept
the things that come from the Spirit of
God, for they are foolishness to him, and
he cannot understand them, because
they are spiritually discerned.” 1
Corinthians 2:12-14.
If it has to do with discerning spiritually,
then of course, it is very imperative that
every Christian matures spiritually so as to
be able to grasp this truth. Any time Jesus
24
tried to establish his oneness with the
father, He encountered problem with the
teachers of the law, and it is the same
thing that is repeating itself in our days
where the so called Bible scholars who are
not filled with the Holy Spirit try to
interpret the Bible to Spirit filled
Christians, their arguments sound very
logic to the human senses, but thank God
we do not walk according to the senses.
“You however, are controlled not by the
sinful nature (senses), but by the Spirit, if
the Spirit of God lives in you. And if
anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ,
he does not belong to Christ.” Romans
8:9.
The undeniable fact is that, Jesus Christ is
God. The testimony of John the revelator
read;
“In the beginning was the Word, and the
Word was with God, and the Word was
God.” John 1:1.
In his own words, Jesus Christ said, “I and
the father are one” John 10:30.
Is it not amazing that nobody ever talked
like Jesus, and those who tried imitating
Him found their selves enraptured in the
25
same predicament that He found Himself
in? But He told us before it came to be.
“If the world hates you, keep in mind that
it hated me first,” John 15:18.
“I have told you these things, so that in
me, you may have peace. In this world
you will have trouble, but take heart! I
have overcome the world.” John 16:33.
No wonder since the time of the apostles
till our days, there are still doubts about
men of God simply because they live
beyond the natural realm, but this is
supposed to be the life of every believer
out there. The Jews tried to stone Him
anyway, because they considered it as a
blasphemy for a man to compare himself
with God, but Jesus showed us what we
really are to God.
“Jesus answered them, ‘is it not written
in your law, ‘I have said you are gods’?’”
John 10:34.
Any angle you look at this issue from, it
points to one thing. Now, naturally, by the
law of reproduction, a dog gives birth to a
dog, cats to cats, lions to lions and
humans to humans. What does it mean,
God will surely give birth to gods, “I said,
you are gods, and all of you are sons of
the Most High.” Psalm 82:6.
26
Again, many have argued that the human
being is a tripartite being, so long have we
been groomed by this knowledge that it
might perhaps be abnormal for us to think
otherwise. But the truth stand, the human
being is not a tripartite being, but a Spirit
that lives in a Body and has a Soul. Rightly
put by Dr. Myles Munroe, ‘the human
being is a spirit in a dirt body. Humus
(earth/soil), Man (name of the spirit God
briefed into the dirt/humus). Hence, the
real person is the Spirit, given a body to
reside in and have contact with the
physical world, and a soul to reason and
have emotional interaction.
“Therefore we are always confident and
know that as long as we are at home in
the body, we are away from the Lord.” 2
Corinthians 5:6.
If the real you is the spirit, then it is very
plausible that we are begotten by the
Spirit of God. And this is all Salvation and
Christianity is about; Born again, given a
new life that is high than the human life,
and a superman to whom anything is
possible.
“For you did not receive a Spirit that
makes you a slave again to fear, but you
received the Spirit of son ship, and by
Him we cry “Abba” father,” The Spirit
27
Himself testifies with our spirit that we
are God’s children.” Romans 8:15.
Also, if there is anything that makes God
who He is, then it is Love, for it is only His
Love that distinguishes Him from all the
other gods that are preached in this
world. He is the only God who reaches out
to His creation out of Love; the others rest
in their so called sovereignty and wait for
their subjects to reach out to them. It is
love that can make a whole God become a
father, brother, and a friend to His own
handiwork, the Agape Love, hence, no
man can love except he is born of God. Let
no man deceive himself, for whatever we
profess to be love outside what God fills
us with is not love.
“If I speak in the tongues of men, and of
angels, but have not love, I am only a
resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If
I have the gift of prophecy and can
fathom all mysteries and all knowledge,
and if I have a faith that can move
mountains, but have not love, I am
nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor
and surrender my body to the flames, but
have not love, I gain nothing. Love is
patient, love is kind, it does not envy, it
does not boast, it is not proud, it is not
rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily
28
angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices
with the truth. It always protects, always
trusts, always hopes, and always
perseveres.” 1 Corinthians 13:1-7.
Is it not puzzling that people can speak in
tongues, have the gift of prophecy,
fathom all mysteries and knowledge, have
faith that move mountains, give all they
possess to the poor, and offer their bodies
to be burnt and still not have love? Love is
of God, and no one can love except he is
of God.
“This is how we know who the children of
God are and who the children of the devil
are; anyone who does not do what is
right is not a child of God; nor is anyone
who does not love his brother.” 1 John
3:10.
I can love Junior and everyone because I
am a child of God and if so ‘god’.
“Dear friends, let us love one another, for
love comes from God. Everyone who
loves has been born of God and knows
God.” 1 John 4:7.
Remember, our love is genuine and
authentic because it is the love of God
that has been shed abroad in our hearts.

“And hope makes not ashamed, because
the love of God is shed abroad in our
hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given
unto us.” Romans 5:5.
To conclude, I will say, whatever God
begins in us, He already finished it before
it begun in us. This is just the beginning of
mighty works to be done through all that
hearken to the voice of the Holy Spirit in
these last days. I love Junior, Robert and
you reading this book, especially the
church; and nothing can stop me from
loving you.
“For I am convinced that neither death,
nor life, neither angels nor demons,
neither the present nor the future, nor
any powers, neither height nor depth,
nor anything else in all creation, will be
able to separate us from the love of God
that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans
8:38.
Selah!
