Of God and Mankind

In the last few years, I have developed a habit of not bothering about taking my faulty electronics/electrical appliances to technicians to fix because I believe I won't get it fixed properly or they may just end up causing more damage and I will spend money with no value received. I therefore prefer to buy a new one as a replacement. My spouse on the other hand believes we should try to fix these items with a technician when it develops a fault. We both have a point. However, the truth is, if the cost of fixing a faulty appliance is almost the same as buying a new one, it is a wise decision to buy a new one. By the special grace of God, I have a developed a love for His Word in the Holy Bible as well as an understanding of the Word of our Lord Jesus Christ stated in Mark 11:22-23 "Have faith in God [constantly]. 23 Truly I tell you, whoever says to this mountain, Be lifted up and thrown into the sea! and does not doubt at all in his heart but believes th...

James 2:1-4 1 My brethren, do not hold the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with partiality. 2 For if there should come into your assembly a man with gold rings, in fine apparel, and there should also come in a poor man in filthy clothes, 3 and you pay attention to the one wearing the fine clothes and say to him, “You sit here in a good place,” and say to the poor man, “You stand there,” or, “Sit here at my footstool,” 4 have you not shown partiality among yourselves, and become judges with evil thoughts? Dear people of God, today’s lead Bible text warns us against partiality or discrimination in our relationships with others everywhere we find ourselves. A great many of us unfortunately discriminate against the less privileged in the society with the way we treat them. We forget that it is the same God who created them that created us too and as far as God is concerned all human beings are equal, whether you are a Country’s President or a destitut...

At times I hear some people who profess Christianity make some statements that shows very little or no understanding of their faith as Christians. A typical example of such statement is to say that no one has been to heaven and back. This wrong statement is premised on the faulty assumption that death is final and one who dies and whose soul has departed cannot return back to this world. Our very faith as Christians is built on the foundation that our Lord Jesus Christ died and rose again on the third day. If Jesus Christ did not die and rise again as He said He would and then did, then Christianity would not exist and we who practise it today would only be fooling ourselves. Now what happened when Jesus Christ died? He went to a part of HELL called Hades to recover the keys of death from satan the deceiver and Jesus also went to recover souls who had died before He came as a human being, who were qualified to enter heaven but could not because man was spiritually sep...

You have committed 10 or more abortions. You have raped and murdered 20 or more people. You have embezzled a $100 million USD. You tell lies round the clock like someone drinking water. You have divorced your spouse and are now living in adultery with another person even when your spouse is still alive. You have used several people for rituals to create wealth. In one corner of your beautiful mansion, there is a room where only you enter and in that room, there is a dead corpse of your close relative (wife, child, mother, father) that you call their name and it produces money. You are a manufacturer or seller of fake drugs, fake car tyres, etc that is responsible to taking the lives of so many innocent people in health and vehicular accidents from burst tyres. You are a doctor who has helped more than 2.000 pregnant women to commit abortions and get rid of babies they say they do not want and they paid you to kill their innocent unborn child. You are an ardent wor...

The Word of God tells us in 1 Timothy 5:8, "If anyone fails to provide for his relatives, and especially for those of his own family, he has disowned the faith [by failing to accompany it with fruits] and is worse than an unbeliever [who performs his obligation in these matters]." God has made the man the head of the home (1 Corinthians 11:3). It is therefore the duty of the man to provide for spiritual and material needs of his household as God's Word has clearly stated. Now, what happens if the man loses his source of livelihood and the woman runs the home from her resources? What should be her reaction towards the man? Before you respond, dear friend, I encourage you to take a second and even third look at the Bible verse in 1 Timothy 5:8. What you will observe is that that Bible verse is addressing Christians specifically and not just any one. I was told today of a woman whose husband used to do very well financially and provide for the family in...

While He was here on earth as a human being, our Lord Jesus Christ performed astounding miracles to confirm that He was sent by God. The Religion Jesus Christ established on earth and commissioned His Apostles to take to the entire world is called Christianity and Christians are followers of Jesus Christ in word and deed . Now, when Jesus Christ was about leaving the earth to ascend into heaven, He commissioned His Apostles with the following Words in Matthew 28:18-20 “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen. Notice that Jesus Christ said All Authority in Heaven and on earth has been given to Him. In commissioning His Apostles to go share the Gospel with all nations, Jesus Christ gave them t...
