Of God and Mankind

As long as someone remains in this world, problems, challenges and issues will arise. For a Christian, it will come and the reason is simple: the devil or satan’s main objective is to get the Christian to doubt the truth of God’s Word, the efficacy of God’s Word and the power of God’s Word to resolve all challenges. So satan will throw all manner of obstacles at a Christian to make him or her develop unbelief. If the Christian unfortunately accepts the obstacles as his fate and begins to question God’s ability to solve his problems, satan becomes very happy because that is what he wants to achieve. Since we know that satan is the cause of the world’s troubles, what are we to do as Christians? We are to focus solely on the truth of God’s Word in the Holy Bible. You must realize today that the worse thing that can happen to any human being is death. As long as the person is alive, there is hope and that hope lies in Christ Jesus alone. I have an uncle who once told ...

Sometimes with human beings you hear of a contingency plan or plan B as some call it. What this means is that they have an alternative plan in place just in case the first one fails. That is the imperfection of the human race in this world. However, with God, there is no contingency plan because God does not need one. God knows what will happen one trillion years from today and everything that will happen is laid out according to God’s plan for the entire period. Nothing takes God by surprise and nothing is an emergency for God. That is the perfection of God Almighty and Father of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Dear friend, having this knowledge in mind, who would you rather follow, God or a human? Who would you rather trust, a human or the Almighty God and Creator of the entire universe? For me I would follow God always because God can never disappoint anyone who trusts in Him. Now, someone may argue and say does it mean God has deliberately planned and allo...

Human beings get angry at times. Some are able to control their anger while others explode and do irrational things. In fact, in extreme cases, people have been known to maim or outrightly kill fellow humans in a fit of anger. So, what purpose does anger serve for the person venting it? Anger does not benefit you in any way. First of all it affects your health in negative ways. I had an aunt who once raised an accusation of a missing sum of money she had kept and while in her angry state, she had a heart attack and died as a result. After her burial, the money was found where she had hidden it and forgotten at the time! Secondly, anger opens the door to satan to attack you and cause harm. This is the reason why unsaved people or non-Christians are able to commit atrocious acts in their moments of extreme anger because a demon spirit is urging them to act. This is why they are able to kill or hurt others and then having realized what they have done, they run away. ...

Dear friends, let me start by wishing you a very Happy New Year.  It is my sincere belief that this year will be greater than the previous one for all of us in the mighty name of Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen. Now, when you hear the word “preacher”, the first thing that comes to one’s mind is the Gospel. When you hear the term “motivational speaker”, the idea is usually about that charismatic, well-dressed, well-spoken lady or gentlemen who inspires you to act now to achieve great things in life. The motivational speaker is also a preacher, albeit one who preaches about the things of the world. His preaching is about greatness in this life alone. He uses terms and phrases like auto-suggestion, imagination, picturing a bright future, stepping out of one’s comfort zone, tackling life’s challenges head on, etc. These things are very good; however, the motivational speaker’s doctrine has limitations to this world only. He never has any answer or information to what ...
