Of God and Mankind

Ephesians 6:1-3 (AMPC)   “ CHILDREN, OBEY your parents in the Lord [as His representatives], for this is just and right.   2 Honour (esteem and value as precious) your father and your mother – this is the first commandment with a promise – [ Exodus 20:12.]   3 That all may be well with you and that you may live long on the earth.”     Dear people of God, there are many Christians who do not understand the import of God’s Word and the power and consequence therein, not until the Holy Spirit or someone inspired by God’s Spirit explains it to them.   Today Holy Bible text is one of such messages.   It tells us that our parents are God’s representatives on this earth and so we MUST obey them.   It further tells us to honour our father and mother and there is a promise attached, which is, that ALL may be well with us and that we may live long on the earth.   Now consider this, what do you think is the consequence for any child who refuses to obey...

2 Timothy 4:5 (AMPC)    “ As for you, be calm  and cool  and steady, accept  and suffer unflinchingly every hardship, do the work of an evangelist, fully perform all the duties of your ministry.”   Dear people of God, Christianity is beyond being born into a Christian family or just church attendance every Sunday.   There are many Christians who think it is okay to just be a Christian without any service to God and without having a personal relationship with God through the Lord Jesus Christ.   Let us see what the Bible says about a Christian in Ephesians 4:11-13 (AMPC), “ And His (Jesus Christ’s) gifts were [varied; He Himself appointed and gave men to us] some to be apostles (special messengers), some prophets (inspired preachers and expounders), some evangelists (preachers of the Gospel, traveling missionaries), some pastors (shepherds of His flock) and teachers.   12 His intention was the perfecting  and the full equipping of th...

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 13:5 (AMPC)    “A [consistently] righteous man hates lying  and deceit, but a wicked man is loathsome [his very breath spreads pollution] and he comes [surely] to shame.”   Dear people of God, a true test of a person’s character is his ability to keep commitments once made.   Many people do not realize that failure to keep your word on any matter whatsoever simply amounts to lying and the Bible says all liars will go to HELL – Revelation 21: 8 ,   27.   Whether it is a pledge you made in Church or to a worthy cause, a promise to a friend, relative, spouse, sibling or colleague in the office, you must keep your word otherwise you are heading to an eternal damnation if you fail to repent, confess and make amends as applicable.   Nowadays, it means nothing for people to make a commitment and break it.   This is why politicians all over the world are notorious for saying things they would never do but  keep coming back during electi...
