Of God and Mankind

  2 Timothy 4:2-4 (AMPC) “ Herald  and preach the Word! Keep your sense of urgency [stand by, be at hand and ready], whether the opportunity seems to be favo u rable or unfavo u rable. [Whether it is convenient or inconvenient, whether it is welcome or unwelcome, you as preacher of the Word are to show people in what way their lives are wrong.] And convince them, rebuking  and correcting, warning  and urging  and encouraging them, being unflagging  and inexhaustible in patience and teaching.   3 For the time is coming when [people] will not tolerate (endure) sound  and wholesome instruction, but, having ears itching [for something pleasing and gratifying], they will gather to themselves one teacher after another to a considerable number, chosen to satisfy their own liking  and to foster the errors they hold,   4 And will turn aside from hearing the truth and wander off into myths  and man-made fictions.”   Dear people...

Proverbs 11:30-31 (AMPC)   “ The fruit of the [uncompromisingly] righteous is a tree of life, and he who is wise captures human lives [for God, as a fisher of men–he gathers and receives them for eternity]. [Matt. 4:19; I Cor. 9:19; James 5:20.]   31 Behold, the [uncompromisingly] righteous shall be recompensed on earth; how much more the wicked and the sinner!  And if the righteous are barely saved, what will become of the ungodly and wicked?  [I Pet. 4:18.]   Dear people of God, if you missed the first part of this post, please click here to see - https://www.facebook.com/truewealthsecrets/posts/10159680997768306   Now, let us continue with the list of those who would not be found in heaven:   ·  Every Christian who prays for the death of his human enemy. This includes those who place curses on others and die without reversing such curses – Luke 6:27-33.   ·  Every Christian who visits casinos, nightclubs and bars – 2 Corinthians ...

Proverbs 11:30-31 (AMPC) “ The fruit of the [uncompromisingly] righteous is a tree of life, and he who is wise captures human lives [for God, as a fisher of men–he gathers and receives them for eternity]. [Matt. 4:19; I Cor. 9:19; James 5:20.]   31 Behold, the [uncompromisingly] righteous shall be recompensed on earth; how much more the wicked and the sinner!  And if the righteous are barely saved, what will become of the ungodly and wicked? [I Pet. 4:18.]   Dear people of God, this message is a very critical one because many people who claim to believe in God Almighty and Father of my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ are NOT aware of the justice side of God and so they downplay the eternal consequences of their actions here on earth.   For now, the only thing that separates a person from eternity is death and there are millions and millions of damned souls suffering in HELL for their sins – sins committed by rejecting Jesus Christ as Saviour and Lord of their live...

Proverbs 4:23 (GNBDK)   “ Be careful how you think; your life is shaped by your thoughts.”   Dear people of God, the most powerful resource in this world available to every human being is the Word of God in the Holy Bible.   However, it is also sad and unfortunate to note that majority of humans, very many Christians inclusive, fail to adhere to and use the power of God’s Word to their own advantage.   Today’s lead Holy Bible text says that our lives are shaped by our thoughts.   The way to harness the power in the Word of God is by meditation, that is, thinking on it after a careful study.   Since our lives are shaped by our thoughts, does it not make great sense for a person’s thoughts to be about God’s Word, which contains enormous power?   Should that not tell us that humans should study God’s Word to know what it says concerning us?   Thinking in line with God’s Word is one of the most arduous task a human can embark on because we are constan...

Matthew 7:21-2 3  (AMPC) “ 21 Not everyone who says to Me, Lord, Lord, will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father Who is in heaven.   22 Many will say to Me on that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your N ame and driven out demons in Your N ame and done many mighty works in Your N ame?   23 And then I will say to them openly (publicly), I never knew you; depart from Me, you who act wickedly [disregarding My commands]. [Ps. 6:8.]”   Dear people of God, there are many Christians who underestimate God’s righteous standard He demands from those who are His children.   Ability to pray, prophecy accurately, share the Gospel of Christ with others in Evangelism, speak in tongues (foreign languages), fast from food, perform miracles in the Name of Jesus, cast out demons, contribute financially to the cause of the Gospel etc does not confer righteousness on the person or acceptance by God.   Unfortunately, today’s...
