Of God and Mankind

2 Peter 2:20-22 (AMPC)  “ For if, after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through [the full, personal] knowledge of our Lord and Savio u r Jesus Christ, they again become entangled in them and are overcome, their last condition is worse [for them] than the first.   21 For never to have obtained a [full, personal] knowledge of the way of righteousness would have been better for them than, having obtained [such knowledge], to turn back from the holy commandment which was [verbally] delivered to them.   22 There has befallen them the thing spoken of in the true proverb, The dog turns back to his own vomit, and, The sow is washed only to wallow again in the mire. [Prov. 26:11.]”   Dear people of God, during morning devotion this past Saturday April 18, 2020, the Lord placed it upon my heart to visit a certain area within our neighbourhood for our weekly Evangelism.   I told my partner and then after prayers, we proceeded for the Evangelism. The...

Romans 10:13 (AMPC)  “ For everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord [invoking Him as Lord] will be saved. [Joel 2:32.]”   Dear people of God, it is amazing and sad how many people choose to discuss every other topic under the sun except spiritual matters or the Lord Jesus Christ.   Unfortunately, you also find this practice amongst Christians who are expected to be the light of Christ Jesus to a world darkened by ignorance and sin.   They are quick to discuss coronavirus, cancer, diabetes, other terminal ailments and how they are ravaging different parts of the world taking human lives whilst canvassing different solutions, but they won’t discuss Jesus Christ Who is the Ultimate Solution to all sicknesses and diseases, having taken away our sicknesses and diseases when He shed His precious blood for our sins on the Cross of Calvary – Matthew 8:17; 1 Peter 2:24.   They are quick to discuss the ravaging and heart rending insecurity around the world by terroris...

Romans 11:29 (AMPC) “ For God's gifts and His call are irrevocable. [He never withdraws them when once they are given, and He does not change His mind about those to whom He gives His grace or to whom He sends His call.]”   Dear friend, as is usual with most of us, we would have reflected over 2024 and made some resolutions, goals and commitments for 2025.   My simple advice to everyone reading this message today is that you include the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the Messiah and Master of the Universe in whatever plans you have for 2025.   You must include Jesus Christ because He is the ONLY person Who would never mislead you because of His unfailing love for you as your Creator and God.   You must therefore follow Him wholeheartedly by diligent study, meditation, obedience and action on His Word in the Holy Bible. When you do this, you can be sure that your every prayer would be answered because He has said for you to ask God the Father anything in His (Jesu...

Acts 9:17-2 2  (AMPC) “So Ananias left and went into the house. And he laid his hands on Saul and said, Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, Who appeared to you along the way by which you came here, has sent me that you may recover your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit.   18 And instantly something like scales fell from [Saul's] eyes, and he recovered his sight. Then he arose and was baptized,   19 And after he took some food, he was strengthened. For several days [afterward] he remained with the disciples at Damascus.   20 And immediately in the synagogues he proclaimed Jesus, saying, He is the Son of God!   21 And all who heard him were amazed and said, Is not this the very man who harassed  and overthrew  and destroyed in Jerusalem those who called upon this Name? And he has come here for the express purpose of arresting them  and bringing them in chains before the chief priests.   22 But Saul increased all the mo...

1 Corinthians 2:9-13 (NKJV)    “ But as it is written: “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.”   10 But God has revealed  them  to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.    11   For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God.    12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit W ho is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God.   13 These things we also speak, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual.   Dear people of God, every human being born into this world is born into a spiritual experience that becomes part of him as he grows in ag...

John 16:33 (AMPC)  “I have told you these things, so that in Me (Jesus Christ) you may have [perfect] peace and confidence. In the world you have tribulation and trials and distress and frustration; but be of good cheer [take courage; be confident, certain, undaunted]! For I have overcome the world. [I have deprived it of power to harm you and have conquered it for you.]”   Dear people of God, I was watching cable television last night and on one news channel I saw a story of protests by people in different countries against their governments. Since the beginning of the year 2019, It has been crisis, crisis everywhere from Albania to Algeria to Bolivia to Catalan to Chile to Egypt to Gaza to Georgia to Hong Kong to Indonesia to Lebanon to Montenegro to Papua (Indonesia) to Venezuela to Bangladesh to Kenya to Nigeria, etc. Majority of these protests are directed against the government of the day whose policies and activities have created a lot of discontent while the one in Ind...
