Of God and Mankind

The online dictionary defines disobedience as “ failure or refusal to obey rules or someone in authority”. The world is facing all the calamities today because of an act of disobedience to God’s commands. Thousands of years ago, God gave a simple instruction to Adam and Eve to eat of the fruit of every tree in the Garden of Eden except the tree of the knowledge of good and evil in the middle of the Garden. Only God knows for how long Adam and Eve kept this instruction until one day when the devil came and deceived Eve into disobeying God and Eve also made her husband Adam disobey God as well – Genesis 2:16-17; 3:1-12. The rest as they say is history, for today, humans are paying dearly for this avoidable act of disobedience. Not only did Adam and Eve and indeed all mankind descended from them die spiritually, all mankind is destined to die physically as well. Many people, Christians inclusive, do not bother to consider in their minds through meditation the gravity of the si...

Dear friend, we have entered what is known worldwide as Christmas, the best season in the world. It is the best season in the world because the season commemorates the first coming of Jesus Christ the Messiah, in fulfillment  of God’s promise to send a Saviour into the world to redeem mankind from the eternal consequence of sin.

However, as a result of God’s unfailing love for His greatest creatures, humans, He, God, left His glorious throne in Heaven and came i...

The Holy Bible, the infallible Word of God tells us in Ecclesiastes 3:1-2a (AMPC), “TO EVERYTHING there is a season, and a time for every matter  or purpose under heaven: 2 A time to be born and a time to die This is the fate of every human being born into this world. Additionally, the Word of God tells us in Hebrews 9:27 (AMPC), “ And just as it is appointed for [all] men once to die, and after that the [certain] judgment, ” Again, no human being born into this world would escape this certain judgment. What are we going to be judged by? The Word of God, the Perfect Law of Liberty, the Holy Bible. This is God’s standard for all humans. It does not matter what you believe about what I have just stated. How you choose to live your life here on earth matters to God because He wants you to be aware of these facts I have stated and to adjust your life to His standard and not yours. When you depart this world, there would be no room for any adjustment ...
