Of God and Mankind

Isaiah 41:10-13 (AMPC) “ 10 Fear not [there is nothing to fear], for I am with you; do not look around you in terror and be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen and harden you to difficulties, yes, I will help you; yes, I will hold you up and retain you with My [victorious] right hand of rightness and justice. [Acts 18:10.]   11 Behold, all they who are enraged and inflamed against you shall be put to shame and confounded; they who strive against you shall be as nothing and shall perish.   12 You shall seek those who contend with you but shall not find them; they who war against you shall be as nothing, as nothing at all.   13 For I the Lord your God hold your right hand; I am the Lord, Who says to you, Fear not; I will help you!”   Dear people of God, no doubt there is a lot of insecurity all over the world and many people are living in fear.   In countries like Libya, Nigeria, Venezuela, Mexico, Yemen, Syr...

Psalm 37:25-26 (AMPC) “ I have been young and now am old, yet have I not seen the [UNCOMPROMISINGLY] righteous forsaken or their seed begging bread.   26 All day long they are merciful and deal graciously; they lend, and their offspring are blessed.”     Dear people of God, today’s lead Holy Bible text tells us that God does not forsake the UNCOMPROMISINGLY righteous, neither does his seed beg bread.   To be uncompromising means unyielding in making concessions or unyielding in changing your stance on a matter.   In the context of God’s Word, to be uncompromising means spiritual maturity evidenced by refusal to say anything or engage in any act that offends God or that goes contrary to His Word.   Unfortunately, to live an uncompromising life is one thing that is very difficult for a number of today’s Christians.   It appears even more challenging when you live in a nation where many are engaged in lawless acts on a daily basis.   One th...

2 Corinthians 11:13-15 (AMPC) “ For such men are false apostles [spurious, counterfeits], deceitful workmen, masquerading as apostles (special messengers) of Christ (the Messiah).   14  And it is no wonder, for satan himself masquerades as an angel of light;   15  So it is not surprising if his servants also masquerade as ministers of righteousness. [But] their end will correspond with their deeds.”     Dear people of God, if there is one thing the devil loves, it is sceptics denying either his existence or existence of his current agents or his former agents who are now Christians having repented and accepted Jesus Christ as their Saviour and Lord.   There is a recent video of a lady preacher who stated that she was a former high-ranking agent of the devil and used to hold meetings with the devil before the Lord Jesus Christ arrested her and she is now a Christian.   Part of what she stated was that the jean clothing material is a creation of the...

Jeremiah 9:23-24 (AMPC) “ 23 Thus says the Lord: Let not the wise and skillful person glory and boast in his wisdom and skill; let not the mighty and powerful person glory and boast in his strength and power; let not the person who is rich [in physical gratification and earthly wealth] glory and boast in his [temporal satisfactions and earthly] riches;   24 But let him who glories glory in this: that he understands and knows Me [personally and practically, directly discerning and recognizing My character], that I am the Lord, Who practises loving-kindness, judgment, and righteousness in the earth, for in these things I delight, says the Lord.” [I Cor. 1:31; II Cor. 10:17.]   Dear people of God, it is important for human beings to recognize that there is nothing in this world they have that came to them by chance or by luck as many often say.   It is important to recognize that for your legitimate work and the accompanying bless...
