Of God and Mankind

The Holy Bible, the infallible Word of God tells us in Ecclesiastes 3:1-2a (AMPC), “TO EVERYTHING there is a season, and a time for every matter  or purpose under heaven: 2 A time to be born and a time to die This is the fate of every human being born into this world. Additionally, the Word of God tells us in Hebrews 9:27 (AMPC), “ And just as it is appointed for [all] men once to die, and after that the [certain] judgment, ” Again, no human being born into this world would escape this certain judgment. What are we going to be judged by? The Word of God, the Perfect Law of Liberty, the Holy Bible. This is God’s standard for all humans. It does not matter what you believe about what I have just stated. How you choose to live your life here on earth matters to God because He wants you to be aware of these facts I have stated and to adjust your life to His standard and not yours. When you depart this world, there would be no room for any adjustment ...

One of the easiest things for a Christian to do is to begin to lament to God in prayer about his or her situation, whether financial, medical or whatever it is. There are many people who believe when they do this, God would respond to their cry for help. Unfortunately, there is nowhere in the Holy Bible where a Christian is directed to pray in this manner. Every human being born into this world comes in as a helpless baby requiring the support of a family – mother, father, older siblings, relatives, etc for nourishment, protection, cleaning, and everything required to make the baby comfortable. As the child grows, he is taught and learns to do some of these activities by himself until he becomes an adult when he can handle them seamlessly. This same process applies in Christianity. As a new born again child of God, there is little the person knows about spiritual things so the person depends on a spiritually mature Christian to study, understand and apply God’s W...

God has told us NOT to live by bread alone but by every Word He has spoken – Deuteronomy 8:3b; Matthew 4:4. In other words, a human being should live, be upheld and sustained by God’s Word as the Amplified version of the Holy Bible puts it. As Christians, it is so easy to miss this very important point in our relationship with God as our Father especially in times of difficulties. You find many people who look in every direction except the Word of God for solution to their problems. They tell themselves that after all, their past experience has shown that when they prayed to God, He did not answer so why bother Him? Dear friend, this is the very position the devil wants every child of God to reach, which is to rely on your own strength, advice and understanding as against the infallible Word of God. As our Father God loves us so much and has made it clear that His thoughts and plans for us is of good and not of evil, to bring to an expected end – Jeremiah 29:11 (...

Dear friend, a lot of times you hear people speak of a fear of the unknown. According to such people, unknown stands for what the future holds for them. Now, because they are not sure of their future, they live in fear and this fear influence their daily decisions and some even engage in despicable acts that run contrary to God’s expectation of His children who profess Christ. I want to tell you for free today that there is only one Person Who alone can guarantee you a worry-free and stress-free future and His Name is Jesus Christ. The person who causes the troubles of this life is satan or the devil. The Lord Jesus Christ tells us in John 10:10 (AMPC), “ The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have  and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows). ” In this passage, satan or the devil is the thief because his SOLE mission is to steal, kill and destroy and since man fell at the beginning of crea...

1 John 3:13-15 (NKJV) 13 Do not marvel, my brethren, if the world hates you.  14 We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love the brethren. He who does not love  his  brother abides in death.  15 Whoever hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him. Dear people of God, Christians who pray for their human enemies to die are praying out of ignorance and in direct contrast to what the Lord Jesus Christ commanded. The reason such Christians pray this way is because according to them their human enemy does not wish them well and wants them to suffer and even to die. These Christians are stating the obvious but reacting in sin. Such folks forget that non-Christians are under the influence of the devil, who is the god of this world – 2 Corinthians 4:4. Since it is known to Christians that the devil hates them, why would these Christians ever expect the devil’s controlled human...
