Of God and Mankind

Dear friend, most times, people have what they consider the worst of problems and think it is over for them. In majority of cases, they put their trust in a human being to solve their problems and are usually disappointed. In many cases also, some close friend(s) will advise the person (including some Christians) with the problem to consult a juju man or voodoo priests or witchdoctor. The person with problems usually ends up spending money and being the worst for it without any solution. What most people are not aware of or fail to understand is that voodoo priests are agents of  darkness or satan. The original cause of the problem is from satan so how can satan help when he caused the problem himself (Mark 3:23b-26)? I have heard a true story told by a priest of the Roman Catholic church how his mum had cancer of the stomach and had to undergo surgery that left her with a permanent wound on her navel. A lot of prayers were offered for the elderly woman and wh...

Dear friend, are you a committed or nominal Christian? To make it clearer, we will define a nominal Christian as one who attends Church on Sundays and does not get involved especially in evangelism or other Church activities. A nominal Christian does not pay tithes nor contribute financially to Church projects. Our Lord Jesus Christ tells us in Mark 16:15, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature." This directive from Jesus Christ is to everyone who has accepted Him as Saviour and Lord of his or her life. How can you receive such a beautiful gift as salvation of your soul and then refuse to obey the Lord's command to share with others? Many Christians shy away from Evangelism because of the fear of rejection and embarrassment from those they approach to share the Gospel with. Some think they should not be seen as being too religious so that people will not mock them when they engage in worldly activities. Paul tells us in God's ...

Romans 1:26-28 – 26 “For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. 27 Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due. 28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting;” Dear friend, our God and Father of our Lord & Saviour Jesus Christ has appointed a day on which He will judge the whole world (Acts 17:31). Unlike human trials where a lot of sentiments and miscarriage of justice can take place based on several factors including the accused’s social status, the trial in God’s court will be without prejudice of any kind because God is not partial (Romans 2:11). Now, the standard by which God will judge everyone is His Word. You find God’s W...

Revelation 22:12-13 “And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to every one according to his work. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last.” Dear people of God, during Sunday Service June 28, 2015, I witnessed firsthand what I had only heard another person talk about previously. Our senior Pastor started warning the congregation to make up their minds and stop eating from two tables - the table of the Lord and the table of the devil. What he meant was that members of our local Church should decide whether they want to remain loyal to God or to satan in their deeds and there was no way they could do both. Thereafter, he asked everyone who agreed with him to pray and raise their right hand to represent the sword of the Lord against His enemies. As the prayers intensified, all of a sudden, the Spirit of God took control of two ladies who started prophesying that the senior pastor should warn the people. Then, ...

The Word of God says in Malachi 2:7, “For the lips of a priest should keep knowledge, and people should seek the law from his mouth; For he is the messenger of the Lord of hosts." It is therefore the duty of priests, pastors and prophets to teach the Word of God to His people. This is why our Lord Jesus Christ first asked Peter, the head of the Apostles, three good times if he loved Him (Jesus) and when Peter affirmed three times he loved Jesus, He was given a command to feed the sheep and take care of the lamb, which is the Church (John 21:16-17). This command from our Lord Jesus Christ remains the same today to every preacher of the Gospel He has called to minister to His Church. Though we have false preachers these days as the Holy Bible prophesied would happen in the last days (2 Corinthians 11:13-15; 2 Peter 2:1-3), we also have some genuine men of God, though very few in number because of the proliferation of false doctrines in many different parts of the w...

Dear friend, there are many Christians out there who struggle every day to eke out a living. Many are struggling to pay bills and many are struggling to live a righteous life and earn a living at the same time. Temptations to sin are rife round about them and it is so difficult not to yield to it. Or so it seems. One of the greatest discoveries a Christian can make is how to properly apply faith to achieve results. Though this is simple to do, majority cannot fathom why it is so difficult. The reason I say it is simple is because the answer lies in God's Word found ONLY in the Holy Bible. So many people are caught up in the daily chores of life that they fail to give heed to the most important area of their lives - the spiritual. Anyone who CONSTANTLY AND CONSISTENTLY reads, believes and applies God's Word in his or her life will get the same results. Notice I said anyone because God did not create the world to favour any particular person. However, Go...

Today, Saturday June 13, 2015 my Church group organized evangelism within my home area so we broke into smaller groups to go share the Gospel with others. As usual, we observed that people naturally moved away once they saw people clutching the Holy Bible approaching to speak to them. Even those I know personally who worked for me as artisans claimed to be very busy to listen and when we got one or two to listen, they would walk away claiming to go and attend to customer's jobs. After a while, we would see them chatting in groups and not doing the work they claimed they were busy attending to that made them refuse to listen to the Gospel message in the first instance. I did not feel bad or disappointed because I recollect I was once like that, always taking off once I sighted people clutching the Holy Bible and approaching to share the Gospel with me. Now that I know better, I regret all those times of foolishness and ignorance when I ran away from the best th...
