Of God and Mankind

Psalm 18:1-2 (AMPC) “ I LOVE You fervently  and devotedly, O Lord, my Strength.   2  The Lord is my Rock, my Fortress, and my Deliverer; my God, my keen  and firm Strength in Whom I will trust  and take refuge, my Shield, and the Horn of my salvation, my High Tower.”    Dear people of God, one of the day in 2019 as I was beginning my 12 noon prayer, I felt such great joy within me as I thought of how God’s Word can NEVER fail.   It is amazing how many of us miss God’s best simply because we either ignore His Word or we treat it with levity.   God’s Words in the Holy Bible are Spirit and Life, and anyone who finds it has found life. This is because God’s Word carries anointing and He connects with us by His Spirit to our spirit through His Word.   You must deliberately fall in love with God’s Word to understand how G reat God is ,  how Mighty He is and How Majestic He is.   You must learn to meditate on God’s Word to connect wit...

Psalm 127:3 (AMPC)  “Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward. [Deut. 28:4.]” Dear people of God, an online dictionary has one definition of the word HERITAGE as a special or individual possession; an allotted portion.   So when God’s Word says children are a heritage from the Lord, it means there are a special possession or an allotted portion from God to their parents.   As the Word of God tells us in Romans 14:12, every human being will account to God for all that we do from the time we were born until when we depart from this world.   The Bible tells us in James 1:17 (NKJV), “ Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.”   Since we are going to give account to God for everything, this includes talents and gifts God has given us.   Since children are a gift from God to parents, therefore all parents MUST also...

  Ecclesiastes 12:13-14 (AMPC)  “All has been heard; the end of the matter is: Fear God [revere and worship Him, knowing that He is] and keep His commandments, for this is the whole of man [the full, original purpose of his creation, the object of God's providence, the root of character, the foundation of all happiness, the adjustment to all inharmonious circumstances and conditions under the sun] and the whole [duty] for every man.   14 For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it is good or evil. [Matt. 12:36; Acts 17:30, 31; Rom. 2:16;        1 Cor. 4:5.]”   Dear people of God, at times, we have some ignorant Christians who speak of the superiority of their church denomination over others.   There are also some pastors with dishonourable motives who set up a church denomination not with intention to preach the true gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ but with intention to defraud th...

Mark 11:23-24 (AMPC)    “ Truly I tell you, whoever says to this mountain, Be lifted up and thrown into the sea! and does not doubt at all in his heart but believes that what he says will take place, it will be done for him.   24 For this reason I am telling you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe (trust and be confident) that it is granted to you, and you will [get it].”   Dear people of God, today’s topic is meant to show Christians why they fail to achieve a number of things they have prayed for.   If I say for instance that I see myself as the President of my country very shortly, one of the first reactions I would get from friends, Christians inclusive, is that I should stop dreaming and face reality.   Once this reaction comment is made, the natural thing for most people is to give up their ambition and as a result, they are unable to move forward in life.   But I tell you to look again at the Lord Jesus’ statement in today’s lead Holy ...

Hebrews 12:1-4 (AMPC)   1 THEREFORE THEN, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses [who have borne testimony to the Truth], let us strip off and throw aside every encumbrance (unnecessary weight) and that sin which so readily (deftly and cleverly) clings to and entangles us, and let us run with patient endurance and steady and active persistence the appointed course of the race that is set before us,   2 Looking away [from all that will distract] to Jesus, Who is the Leader and the Source of our faith [giving the first incentive for our belief] and is also its Finisher [bringing it to maturity and perfection]. He, for the joy [of obtaining the prize] that was set before Him, endured the cross, despising and ignoring the shame, and is now seated at the right hand of the throne of God. [Ps. 110:1.]   3 Just think of Him Who endured from sinners such grievous opposition and bitter hostility against Himself [re...
