Of God and Mankind

Luke 10:19 (AMP)  “Behold! I have given you authority and power to trample upon serpents and scorpions, and [physical and mental strength and ability] over all the power that the enemy [possesses]; and nothing shall in any way harm you.” Dear friends, I am currently reading a book written by the late Pastor/Evangelist Kenneth E. Hagin. In this book, the pastor spoke about a revelation he got from our Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus told him that He has delegated His authority on earth to the Church and so praying to God for help against the devices of the devil here on earth was a waste of time. Jesus also made it clear that there is no where in the Holy Bible where it is stated that the Church or an individual on earth should call on God to handle demonic influences HERE ON EARTH. Jesus says He can only work through the Church to deal with satanic influences ON EARTH because the Authority over satan He has given to the Church. Unfortunately, most Christians do n...

Romans 13:11-12 (AMP) Besides this you know what [a critical] hour this is, how it is high time now for you to wake up out of your sleep (rouse to reality). For salvation (final deliverance) is nearer to us now than when we first believed (adhered to, trusted in, and relied on Christ, the Messiah). 12 The night is far gone and the day is almost here. Let us then drop (fling away) the works and deeds of darkness and put on the [full] armor o f light. Dear people of God, it is critical for us to assess our lives in line with God’s Word in the Holy Bible to be sure we are not found wanting. A lot of people who profess Christianity nowadays are leading extremely ungodly lives and carrying on as if nothing is wrong! Our Lord Jesus Christ continues to warn but most are not paying attention. Jesus is using different media to send His messages of warning that His second coming is imminent, but majority are so busy chasing wealth and worldly pleasures and sinning in the pro...

An atheist is someone who does not believe in the existence of God Almighty. If you engage an atheist or some others called secular humanists, all they keep asking is why God permits suffering and they use the suffering in the world as their perfect excuse for their unbelief in God's existence. They claim that since God cannot stop the killings of humans by themselves in the world or the untold difficulties people pass through, then it means God cannot exist. What these atheists and secular humanists are unable to do themselves is tell us how to stop these same problems. They believe in science and yet science also cannot tell us how to end the untold sufferings in the world. Indeed, the very answers they seek is right in the one Book, the Holy Bible, they refuse to read and even when some read, they refuse to believe. Yet, the same God they claim does not exist has said in the Holy Bible only those who believe His Word will receive the promises He has made therei...

By the grace of God I have come to understand that the Word of God in the Holy Bible has an answer to every question in this world. This is evident in Matthew 4:4, "But He (Jesus) replied, It has been written, Man shall not live and be upheld and sustained by bread alone, but by every Word that comes forth from the mouth of God. [Deut. 8:3.]" There is one question I have always heard people ask and I told myself whenever I get to heaven by God's special grace I would ask Him the same question. That question is this: why does God allow satan to operate and not destroy satan for the whole world to have peace? Dear friend, just yesterday, God used one of our pastors in my church to show me and other brethren the answer to that question in the Holy Bible. God's Word tells us in Isaiah 54:15-17, "Behold, they may gather together and stir up strife, but it is not from Me (God). Whoever stirs up strife against you shall fall and surrender to you. 1...

Dear friend, are you in a situation where you have prayed continuously to God without getting any response or solution? Are in a situation where you have tried your best to resolve and nothing seems to be working? Are in a situation where it seems all hope is lost? Have your friends abandoned you to your fate mocking and asking where is your God? There is only one solution left to try - praise God and Father of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Sing songs of praise genuinely from your mind to God and I assure you the solution will come. It may not sound as a solution to you reading this but I tell you, dear friend, it is THE SOLUTION. There are events in the Holy Bible to confirm what I am saying here. We have the case of King Jehoshaphat whom God commanded to praise Him (God) when Judah went to war against the Moabites, the Ammonites and Meunites - 2 Chronicles 20:1-24. God then made the enemies to fight each other and destroy themselves completely all without t...

Dear friend, in these days of technology and social media, information and reports move very fast and so many people are always wanting to be the first to break the news. However, in today's world, we are witnessing an ever increasing number of false reports, rumours and what have you, being spread like wild fire, creating confusion and avoidable tension in many societies and countries. The Word of God sounds a warning in Exodus 23:1, "YOU SHALL not repeat or raise a false report; you shall not join with the wicked to be an unrighteous witness." As we all know, there is no being in this universe that can argue against the Word of God in the Holy Bible because God's Word remains forever, is final and settled in Heaven - Isaiah 40:8; Psalm 119:89, 160. It is therefore futile and a deadly decision to try to against any of God's Word including this warning in Exodus 23:1. Therefore when next you see a report or message anywhere, do not be in a hu...

Heaven is such a beautiful place as testified by every single person who has been fortunate to visit there through the grace of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. In fact, the Holy Bible uses these Words to describe heaven in 1 Corinthians 2:9, But, on the contrary, as the Scripture says, What eye has not seen and ear has not heard and has not entered into the heart of man, [all that] God has prepared (made and keeps ready) for those who love Him [who hold Him in affectionate reverence, promptly obeying Him and gratefully recognizing the benefits He has bestowed].  Looking again at the above Scripture, one thing we observed is that heaven is for those who love God, promptly obeying His commands in the Bible and gratefully recognizing the benefits He has bestowed. This clearly means heaven is not for everyone but only for those who qualify. Some argue that there is no heaven but they are not the focus of today’s message. My focus today is for those who are hoping f...
