Numbers have meanings. If you dive into the world of myths,
numbers are significant. Christians see 7 as a representation of completion.
God created the world 6 days and rested on the 7.
In some parts of the world, especially the US, the number 13
is synonymous with bad luck. It's considered unlucky to have 13 gifts, many
buildings don't have a 13th floor and most people avoid getting married or
buying a house on a day marked by this dreaded number. Especially superstitious
folks even avoid driving on Friday the 13th.
In some parts of Ghana, you can’t give three fingers of plantain
to people as gifts. It’s considered a taboo to do so.
From the above, one should be wary of the number 13 and for
that matter 2013. But that is my line of thought.
2013 represent a year that I hope to turn things around for
the better. In 2013, I will save more,
be closer to God than before. Help those
I can and create opportunities for myself and others.
Indeed, my church, Global Evangelical Church could not nail
it better than declaring ‘2013 OUR YEAR OF DEVINE ACCELERATION.’
