Of God and Mankind

2 Corinthians 6:14 (AMPC) “ Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers [do not make mismated alliances with them or come under a different yoke with them, inconsistent with your faith]. For what partnership have right living and right standing with God with iniquity and lawlessness? Or how can light have fellowship with darkness?”   Dear people of God, the nation of Nigeria in West Africa is immensely blessed of God with abundance of natural and human resources.   Unfortunately, this same nation is governed by a group of savagely and notoriously corrupt officials whose ungodly activities over the years have made the socio-political environment very hostile to anyone who is committed to Godliness.   Corruption and ineptitude is a state policy and the nation appears to be drifting into more and more lawlessness every day.   You can hardly obtain any service from any public sector organization at the official price without having to part with more money via of...

Romans 16:17-18 (AMPC) “ I appeal to you, brethren, to be on your guard concerning those who create dissensions and difficulties and cause divisions, in opposition to the doctrine (the teaching) which you have been taught. [I warn you to turn aside from them, to] avoid them.   18  For such persons do not serve our Lord Christ but their own appetites and base desires, and by ingratiating and flattering speech, they beguile the hearts of the unsuspecting and simpleminded [people].”     Dear people of God, in his Holy Spirit inspired letter to the Christians of Rome, Apostle Paul warned that they should be wary of people who profess Christianity but cause dissensions, difficulties and divisions and to avoid them.   Since God’s Word is forever and for all generations, this message also applies to today’s Christians especially with the way many lay claim to knowledge of God even when their character clearly displays ungodliness.   I know there are...

  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 the...
