Ohene
September 2012 to October 2026
01
Happy Birthday, Ohene.
I love you so much.
02
The years between us
I have known you since September 2012, from the years of high school, when you were my senior.
At the beginning of 2020, in the season of my national service, the old friendship drew breath again. We have too much history between us, and our lives are forever intertwined.

03
Thank you for always being there for me. You’ve been a steady big brother in every season.
04
I’m so proud of the man you are and the man you’re becoming.
05
God is just getting started with you. This month of mercies is only a sign of the season the Lord has brought you into: a season of His mercy and lovingkindness like never before.
His favour shines on you and is causing you to rise with speed. Welcome to your season of answered prayers.
06
The Lord will honour every labour of love and every labour of your hands. In every labour there is profit, and now is the time for yours.
07
You will not only reap where you’ve sown. You’ll also reap where you haven’t sown. God’s grace will be evident in your life, and He will restore time to you.
08
And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you.Joel 2:25
09
He will also take every garment of reproach and replace it with a garment of glory and praise.
To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he might be glorified.Isaiah 61:3
10
Your testimony will be so loud it will overshadow everything that has been a weight in your life.
11
I love you. God loves you more. I’m blessed to have you as my big brother and to share life with you.
12
The Lord establish the work of your hands. So much speed in this new phase.
God richly bless you. Amen.
