Of God and Mankind

Dear friends, I just returned today Saturday August 25, 2018 from a week-long event of a burial in honour of a close friend and colleague of mine. This friend came from a family he was close to as I discovered during the burial. He was married with 3 beautiful kids. He supported the Liverpool Football Club of England. He had a good job by Nigerian standards. He worked very hard to deliver excellence on every task he was assigned. He always had great ideas and great contributions whenever we had our weekly meetings. He had great hopes and aspirations concerning himself and his family just like every focused human being in this world. However, all that ended exactly in the early hours of Saturday August 11, 2018 when he passed away from this world. I received the news of his death with deep shock because this year 2018 alone more than all other years I have known him, I kept receiving from him different news about the deaths of others we either knew or he personall...

One of the biggest challenge most humans face today is raising money to pay their bills. As a result of this challenge, even some Christians have compromised their spiritual beliefs. Rather than trust in God and the Truth of God’s Word for their material well-being, they feign righteousness in Church and then engage in ungodly acts outside Church just to earn a living. The Lord Jesus Christ Himself tells us in Matthew 6:31-34, “ Therefore do not worry  and be anxious, saying, what are we going to have to eat? or, what are we going to have to drink? or, what are we going to have to wear? 32 For the Gentiles (heathen) wish for  and crave  and diligently seek all these things, and your heavenly Father knows well that you need them all. 33 But seek (aim at and strive after) first of all His kingdom and His righteousness (His way of doing and being right), and then all these things taken together will be given you besides. 34 So do not wor...

Judges 17:6 “In those days there was no king in Israel; every man did what was right in his own eyes. ” Dear people of God, two days ago I had an interesting conversation with a young man I just met. He had told me that he believed in doing the right thing and that was because he hated injustice. When I asked him what the right thing was, he said it was doing what was right. As we discussed further, he made me understand that he usually had problems with people because he believed in doing the right thing. I then reminded him of the people who break traffic laws daily in Nigeria and especially in Lagos State, that is, those who drive against traffic. I told him that these people believed they were also doing the right thing and so driving against traffic cannot be wrong for them as far as their minds were concerned. Dear friend, just as today’s main Holy Bible text tells us, there was a time when Israel had no king and so everybody did what was right in h...

Galatians 3:13 (AMPC) “Christ purchased our freedom [redeeming us] from the curse (doom) of the Law [and its condemnation] by [Himself] becoming a curse for us, for it is written [in the Scriptures], Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree (is crucified);” Dear people of God, sometime last year 2017, in one of my posts I gave a testimony of how God miraculously healed a colleague’s wife who had cancer and had been bedridden for a month. As a summary, what happened was that I was told of the woman’s health situation, and then I compiled a number of prayers using Holy Bible verses on Divine healing, and sent it to the woman through her spouse. The prayers were administered on this lady, God healed her, and she that was previously bedridden was discharged from the hospital and returned to her home. The kids who had been withdrawn from school as a result of their mother’s ill health returned to school. Shortly after the testimony, I was told by the man’s supervisor wh...
