Of God and Mankind

  1 John 1:7-9 “ But if we [really] are living  and walking in the Light, as He [God Himself] is in the Light, we have [true, unbroken] fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus  Christ His Son cleanses (removes) us from all sin  and guilt [keeps us cleansed from sin in all its forms and manifestations].   8 If we say we have no sin [refusing to admit that we are sinners], we delude  and lead ourselves astray, and the Truth [which the Gospel presents] is not in us [does not dwell in our hearts].   9 If we [freely] admit that we have sinned  and confess our sins, He is faithful and just (true to His own nature and promises) and will forgive our sins [dismiss our lawlessness] and [continuously] cleanse us from all unrighteousness [everything not in conformity to His will in purpose, thought, and action].”   Dear people of God, the above Scripture was addressed by John the Evangelist to Christian believers.   There are s...

 Mark 6:54-56 (AMPC) As soon as they got out of the boat, [the people] recognized Him (JESUS CHRIST), 55 And they ran about the whole countryside, and began to carry around sick people on their sleeping pads or mats to any place where they heard that He was. 56 And wherever He came into villages or cities or the country, they would lay the sick in the marketplaces and beg Him that they might touch even the fringe of His outer garment, and as many as touched Him were restored to health.   Dear people of God, there were medical doctors in the time the Lord Jesus Christ was here on earth as a human being because Jesus made reference to medical doctors helping the sick in Mark 2:17; Luke 5:31. However, there is no record in the Gospels where the Lord Jesus Christ referred a sick person to see a doctor. Jesus Christ dealt with every sickness in two ways – laying of hands and casting out demons where present by His Word – Matthew 8:16. Also, when Jesus Chr...

There is food for the physical body, which those who can afford it eat three times every single day of their lives. There are a number of ways food helps the human body, which according to the edx blog are as follows: (1)         Provides energy to get things done daily (2)         Repairs muscle and build DNA (3)         Helps the body insulate itself and improve overall health (4)         Helps one feel better and look attractive (5)         Helps to improve brain function, which includes memory and attention You can therefore imagine the impact on a human when there is no food to make the above activities happen. Eventually, a person who starves his body from food would die. Very few people also understand that there is food for the human spirit, which is the real person. When a person dies...

Dear friend, there is palpable fear the world over concerning the so called Coronavirus pandemic or covid-19 as coined by the World Health Organization (W.H.O.). Medical experts are proffering various suggestions as to what could be done to stem the evil tide. Social media miscreants are spreading rumours, conspiracy theories, panic and outright lies to deceive and probably kill people with faint hearts who are unwilling to first check and confirm facts before taking action. Political leaders of affected nations are reeling out measures after measures on economic, social, medical and political activities meant to assist their populace to remain upbeat and alive until the crisis subsides. Economies of nations are shutting down, people are engaged in panic buying of food and other essential items for the period they have been told to stay at home in the worst hit nations. What is therefore the fate of the families and persons who do not have the financial muscle to...
