Of God and Mankind

Matthew 13:44-45 “The kingdom of heaven is like a [very precious] treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and hid again; then in his joy he goes and sells all he has and buys that field [securing the treasure for himself]. 45 “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls, 46 and upon finding a single pearl of great value, he went and sold all that he had and bought it.” Dear people of God, it does appear today’s topic and the Holy Bible passages are contradictory but they are not. What the Lord Jesus Christ is talking about is the value one should place on Heaven above everything else in this world. Jesus is talking about doing all you can within God’s grace to ensure you enter heaven because there is a great and terrible cost for anyone who would miss heaven at the end of his or her stay here on earth. Not every person reading this message would take it serious and I can assure you that every person who has died in th...

Mark 6:5-6 (AMPC) “ And Jesus could not do a miracle there at all [because of their unbelief] except that He laid His hands on a few sick people and healed them. 6 He wondered at their unbelief. A nd He was going around in the villages teaching.” Dear people of God, there is a race by different nations of the world to produce a so-called vaccine for the coronavirus (covid-19) pandemic with a view to stemming the tide of the ailment. Recently, I had cause to tell someone in writing that the coronavirus or whatever ailment by whatever name cannot have any effect on me because I am a child of God and Jesus Christ has taken my infirmities and borne my sicknesses and diseases. The fellow, a self-professed atheist, responded by saying that I should come off my high horse with my statement and he went on to ask if other Christians who had died from covid-19 were not children of God. I did not bother responding to him because he is not a Christian and I had clearly quoted the Scr...

Ephesians 4:22-25; 28-29 (AMPC) “ Wives, be subject (be submissive and adapt yourselves) to your own husbands as [a service] to the Lord. 23  For the husband is HEAD of the wife as Christ is the Head of the Church, Himself the Savior of [His] body. 24  As the Church is subject to Christ, so let wives also be subject in EVERYTHING to their husbands. 25  Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the Church and gave Himself up for her, 28  Even so husbands should love their wives as [being in a sense] their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself. 29  For no man ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and carefully protects and cherishes it, as Christ does the Church,” Dear people of God, many marriages are in trouble today because of disobedience of the couple to this simple injunction from God to Christians. The reason I was inspired to write this message is because of a pathetic statement I heard over the radio yesterday from a br...

Baptist Pastor Edward Mote in 1834 wrote the Hymn “My Hope is built on Nothing Less” in which the under listed is the chorus: On Christ the Solid Rock I stand All other ground is sinking sand All other ground is sinking sand How true these words are of the person who puts his or her trust in the Solid Rock Jesus Christ my God and Saviour. Putting your trust in anyone or anything else other than the Holy Trinity One God (God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit) is simply standing on sinking sand that would end up killing the person. Dear friend, anyone living a life of disobedience to God’s commands in the Holy Bible is standing on a sinking sand. Anyone who rejects the Gospel Message of Repentance, Salvation and Eternal Life found only in Christ Jesus is standing on a sinking sand. Whenever you encounter any problem in life, Jesus Christ is the Person you should run to because He alone has the power to save you. This message is most urgent especially in t...
