Of God and Mankind

As long as someone remains in this world, problems, challenges and issues will arise. For a Christian, it will come and the reason is simple: the devil or satan’s main objective is to get the Christian to doubt the truth of God’s Word, the efficacy of God’s Word and the power of God’s Word to resolve all challenges. So satan will throw all manner of obstacles at a Christian to make him or her develop unbelief. If the Christian unfortunately accepts the obstacles as his fate and begins to question God’s ability to solve his problems, satan becomes very happy because that is what he wants to achieve. Since we know that satan is the cause of the world’s troubles, what are we to do as Christians? We are to focus solely on the truth of God’s Word in the Holy Bible. You must realize today that the worse thing that can happen to any human being is death. As long as the person is alive, there is hope and that hope lies in Christ Jesus alone. I have an uncle who once told ...

Sometimes with human beings you hear of a contingency plan or plan B as some call it. What this means is that they have an alternative plan in place just in case the first one fails. That is the imperfection of the human race in this world. However, with God, there is no contingency plan because God does not need one. God knows what will happen one trillion years from today and everything that will happen is laid out according to God’s plan for the entire period. Nothing takes God by surprise and nothing is an emergency for God. That is the perfection of God Almighty and Father of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Dear friend, having this knowledge in mind, who would you rather follow, God or a human? Who would you rather trust, a human or the Almighty God and Creator of the entire universe? For me I would follow God always because God can never disappoint anyone who trusts in Him. Now, someone may argue and say does it mean God has deliberately planned and allo...

Human beings get angry at times. Some are able to control their anger while others explode and do irrational things. In fact, in extreme cases, people have been known to maim or outrightly kill fellow humans in a fit of anger. So, what purpose does anger serve for the person venting it? Anger does not benefit you in any way. First of all it affects your health in negative ways. I had an aunt who once raised an accusation of a missing sum of money she had kept and while in her angry state, she had a heart attack and died as a result. After her burial, the money was found where she had hidden it and forgotten at the time! Secondly, anger opens the door to satan to attack you and cause harm. This is the reason why unsaved people or non-Christians are able to commit atrocious acts in their moments of extreme anger because a demon spirit is urging them to act. This is why they are able to kill or hurt others and then having realized what they have done, they run away. ...

Dear friends, let me start by wishing you a very Happy New Year.  It is my sincere belief that this year will be greater than the previous one for all of us in the mighty name of Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen. Now, when you hear the word “preacher”, the first thing that comes to one’s mind is the Gospel. When you hear the term “motivational speaker”, the idea is usually about that charismatic, well-dressed, well-spoken lady or gentlemen who inspires you to act now to achieve great things in life. The motivational speaker is also a preacher, albeit one who preaches about the things of the world. His preaching is about greatness in this life alone. He uses terms and phrases like auto-suggestion, imagination, picturing a bright future, stepping out of one’s comfort zone, tackling life’s challenges head on, etc. These things are very good; however, the motivational speaker’s doctrine has limitations to this world only. He never has any answer or information to what ...

Matthew 24:1-3 (AMPC)   JESUS DEPARTED from the temple area and was going on His way when His disciples came up to Him to call His attention to the buildings of the temple and point them out to Him. 2 But He answered them, Do you see all these? Truly I tell you, there will not be left here one stone upon another that will not be thrown down. 3 While He was seated on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately and said, Tell us, when will this take place, and what will be the sign of Your coming and of the end (the completion, the consummation) of the age? Dear people of God, only yesterday December 25, 2017, the nation of Guatemala in Central America has also taken a decision like the United States of America to move its embassy in Israel to Jerusalem. From today’s lead Holy Bible text, you can see the Lord Jesus’ comments concerning the future fate of the Jewish Temple that was in Jerusalem. This was actually the 3rd temple or Herod...

Joel 3:1-7 (AMPC)   “ FOR BEHOLD, in those days and at that time when I shall reverse the captivity and restore the fortunes of Judah and Jerusalem, 2 I will gather all nations and will bring them down into the Valley of Jehoshaphat, and there will I deal with and execute judgment upon them for [their treatment of] My people and of My heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations and [because] they have divided My land. 3 And they have cast lots for My people, and have given a boy for a harlot and have sold a girl for juice [of the grape] and have drunk it. 4 Yes, and what are you to Me, O Tyre and Sidon and all the [five small] divisions of Philistia? Will you pay Me back for something? Even if you pay Me back, swiftly and speedily I will return your deed [of retaliation] upon your own head, 5 Because you have taken My silver and My gold and have carried into your temples and palaces My precious treasures, 6...

The preachers of the false doctrine of eternal security (once saved, always saved regardless of subsequent lifestyle whether immoral or not), a doctrine of demons, usually quote Romans 8:1 and say there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. Is that what that Scripture verse says? Let us examine Romans 8:1, “ THEREFORE, [there is] now no condemnation (no adjudging guilty of wrong) for those who are in Christ Jesus,  who live [and] walk not after the dictates of the flesh, but after the dictates of the Spirit. As you can see, dear friend, there is a second part of that Scripture, which says those in Christ live and walk not after the dictates of the flesh but after the dictates of the Spirit. When you have the Spirit of God, He will warn and remind you when you have done something wrong so you can immediately return to God in sincere repentance and make necessary amends. Anyone who claims to be a Christian and who can do a wrong thing without a p...
