MICEAL ESSIENS SECRETE HEALING IS?
01.06.2010 LISTEN

From: Stephen A. Quaye, Toronto- Canada.
The news of Michael Essien's absence in the Black Stars squad to next months world cup has created a lot of bad feelings amongst Ghanaians because of his professional skills to the game of foot ball that many not only Ghanaians alone but the world over are going to miss in this tournament.

His tactical play, behavior on the pitch of the game, his commitment to the game of football for both national and international game of soccer can not be compared to so many foot ball players in the world therefore the worry of many soccer fans who are going to miss his absence this tournament.

When the news broke out a couple of days ago that he was going to be excluded in the squad because he has not recovered fully from his injury, many were those who got shocked and quickly went to check on various media webpage's to ascertain the true.

Yes I checked myself and really it was true our football hero was not going to be part of the Black Stars squad to give us the beauty of football that most of us were going to expect come next month.

But what can we say or do? Pray for God guidance and healing for our beloved football maestro so that he get healed fast and return to the game of foot ball not just to entertain us but also serve our motherland as he has demonstrated all these while worth emulating by the up coming ones.

It is also believed that his absence will not affect his colleagues who will be donning the Ghana national jersey but rather present him a special gift of splendid soccer resulting in wins in their matches.

Let us come to the issue of our playmakers injury that has put him out of soccer for a while which is a big worry to many soccer fans. From normal human perspective it happens to sportsmen who incurred various forms of injury in their life styles.

In order not to play any mischief here I will be cautious by not assigning any reason to the soccer legends injury which has put him out of this great tournament but will like to appeal to all Ghanaians to go on their knees and pray for him to get healed fast.

There came in the issue of the purported rift between him and his father which has been hyped so much by certain media houses in Ghana. The latest report I read was in News One as it was reported that his mother and siblings do not want to talk to the press on the issue.

Whether is true or false, the itchy situation this story has created for many soccer fans is the believe that such a wealthy football legend could neglect his father and only look after his mother and siblings because of the allegations that the father did neglect him in his childhood days.

But if it is true, readers will agree with me two wrongs do not make one right and therefore our soccer maestro should not pay his dad in the same coin, rather let the past be rolled behind them and do everything he can do for his father now that he is alive since God says vengeance is my.

Really no body will support the idea of men who neglect their children only for their mothers to sweat and cater for their children only for them to become wealthy persons for their run away fathers now to claim ownership of them.

The same way, we should also not support our great men and women who suffered irresponsibility on the side of their fathers to neglect them after being blessed by God but rather put them to shame by catering for them so that after their death they faces their maker for their judgment.

In this world, forgiveness of sins has been found to be the number one miraculous medicine to many sicknesses and diseases that many people did not know. Due to vengeance, many people have found themselves in so many situations that they can not found solutions to and are still suffering because they are not ready to let go of pains once suffered at the hands of another person.

As I have said earlier on, I am not a soothsayer to tell what exactly is causing our maestro's injury, but if all could agree that the story of his fathers neglect is true, then a special appeal must be made to our soccer hero to forgive his father and seek for blessing from him now.

A typical example is a Ghanaian friend who shared his life experience to other Christians gathered at a social meeting in Toronto. According to the gentleman, his father neglected him immediately his mother announced the pregnancy to his father. The father run away to another region and never saw him again until he traveled to overseas.

Try as the father did to apologize to this man to forgive and reconcile as father and son, he never gave the father the opportunity to do so. Then he started to witness decline in his life activities till the point where one day he had a changed in mind that he has to forgive his father and seek the face of God in his life.

The gentleman embarked on a visit to Ghana where he arranged and met his father where apology and forgiveness notes were exchanged and right from there this man started to experience growth in his life once again. That is what apology and forgiveness can do for one.

Children are blessings from God that is why God places more emphasis on parents to play their responsibility roles well. The same way it also cautions children to respect their parents [mothers and fathers] so their lives may be long on earth.

In fact children serves as a unifying force between mothers and fathers everywhere that is why sometimes when one is peeved at the other, he says but for the sake of our children I have forgiven you. Let Michael Essien's mother say but for the sake of our son I have forgiven you.

But before that, let our powerful clergy men devote themselves in mediating in the issue. Let them take both parties through counseling forging a reconciliatory course and finally officiating the apology and forgiveness of one another which it is believed that the good God will miraculously heal our soccer hero once and for all.

Who knows what Mr. James Essien wants to tell Michael Essien is a top secrete he does not know but will help him to seek for a total healing once and for all. Ghanaians and for that matter all football living people should not play blame game now that the story is out or castigate the media for hyping it but together as one people help the family reconcile for peace and tranquility to prevail amongst them so that the soccer hero can serve his nation the best as he is professionally doing.

At this point many readers will agree with me that Michael Essien's secrete healing is forgiveness to his offended dad and reconciling with him. Once again let our powerful clergy men move in and help the family and it is my belief that he will get healing. END STORY.
