Of God and Mankind

The Holy Bible records many signs and wonders that the God and Father of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ performed up till the time the Apostles and Disciples of Jesus went about sharing the gospel in the Acts of the Apostles. In today's world, it does appear that miracles, signs and wonders have reduced or ceased completely. There are many who believe God does not perform miracles anymore. This erroneous idea and thinking about our God has further encouraged many to doubt the existence of God and even encouraged many to go into idolatry and very many others to remain in idolatry. God tells us in Malachi 3:6a, "For I am the Lord, I do not change;" We are further told in Hebrews 13:8, "Jesus Christ (the Messiah) is [always] the same, yesterday, today, [yes] and forever (to the ages)." If God does not change, it means what He does remain the same. It therefore means that miracles, signs and wonders do happen even till this very day. I pers...

When I was younger and living in ignorance, I used to check out horoscopes for the period in which I was born to see what it said about me and my future. Even though I wasn't sure I was doing the right thing, every now and then I looked for it to read in newspapers and magazines. When by God's grace I surrendered my life to Jesus Christ as my Lord and Messiah, His Word in the Holy Bible made me understand that there is a best way of accurately predicting one's future without error. Dear friend, notice I said there is a best way and not better way. I say best because it is the only accurate determinant of a person's future. Every human born into this world has two futures - one on earth in this life and one at death in the hereafter. I know of some ethnic nationalities in my country who visit witch doctors and fortune tellers to reveal to them what their future holds. God makes it clear in Leviticus 19:26,31,  You shall not eat anything with the blo...

Today I watched half-awake a crime investigation on cable television about a man in England who murdered an elderly couple he was doing business with all because he wanted their money. Police investigations found him trying to cash a cheque for 27,000 British pounds sterling using the late lady's forged signature. I then thought to myself and said aloud, why does one have to steal when the Lord Jesus Christ can do all things for us? I repeated the statement again to my wife and she agreed. The Bible says all things are possible for the individual who has faith or who believes - Mark 9:23. This statement by our Lord Jesus Christ is very profound and every Christian ought to meditate deeply on it. Jesus did not say some things but ALL THINGS are possible for the individual who has faith. The question is, why exactly do you want in life? If all things are possible when you have faith, it means all things you can get. However, it is necessary to note also that...

James 1:5-8  If any of you lacks wisdom [to guide him through a decision or circumstance], he is to ask of [our benevolent] God, who gives to everyone generously and without rebuke or blame, and it will be given to him. 6 But he must ask [for wisdom] in faith, without doubting [God’s willingness to help], for the one who doubts is like a billowing surge of the sea that is blown about and tossed by the wind. 7 For such a person ought not to think or expect that he will receive anything [at all] from the Lord, 8 being a double-minded man, unstable and restless in all his ways [in everything he thinks, feels, or decides]. Dear people of God, a Believer is a Christian but a Christian may not necessarily be a Believer. Please look again at today’s lead Bible text to see if you can fathom what I have just stated. A Christian has repented of sin, accepted Jesus as Lord and is living sincerely in accordance with Christ’s commands in the Holy Bible. Not all who profess Chris...
