Of God and Mankind

Dear friend, there are some people who believe people doing good things will enter heaven even if they do not know and receive the Lord Jesus Christ as Saviour of their lives. There was a time I reasoned that way and my submission was premised on the fact that God says “by their fruits (or actions), we shall know them” and if they are living lives consistent with the right living as the Word of God prescribes, they would make heaven. How wrong and ignorant I was then in quoting this scripture above and interpreting it wrongly. The Lord Jesus Christ makes it clear in John 3:3 (AMPC), “ I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, that unless a person is born again (anew, from above), he cannot ever see (know, be acquainted with, and experience) the kingdom of God. ” So what exactly does it mean to be born again? It means, as this text above tells us, to be born anew from above or heaven. It is the Holy Spirit of God that makes it happen through a life changing encounter wi...

Matthew 24:30-31 “Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn and beat their breasts and lament in anguish, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory [in brilliancy and splendour]. 31 And He will send out His angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather His elect (His chosen ones) from the four winds, [even] from one end of the universe to the other.” Dear people of God, on Wednesday December 6, 2017, Donald John Trump, the 45th President of the United States of America officially recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. He also promised to move America’s Embassy in Israel from Tel-Aviv to Jerusalem in actualization of this declaration. For over 25 years, previous American presidents including the 43rd, George W. Bush and the 44th, Barrack H. Obama had made this declaration a campaign promise but none of them made good their promise when they became ...

God and Father of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ is not partial towards any one. This is clear in Colossians 3:25 (AMPC) Even though the Christians are the only ones qualified to enter heaven when they die, God has still given an opportunity for non-Christians to hear the Gospel of Repentance and Salvation found only in the Lord Jesus Christ. This is why Christians go out to evangelise as Jesus commanded, to tell others about Him as the only Way to heaven. God has done this because He loves and respects every one of His creation, the universe and all in it, especially the humans. God would not force any one to accept His commandments so no one has an excuse to hold God responsible for his or her own actions. If the One Who created us treats us this way, He also expects us to treat ourselves with respect. This is why it is a surprise that people disrespect and look down on others on the basis of political, social, economic, educational, gender, ethnic and relig...

Dear friends, there is a court of heaven. The first time I heard of the court of heaven was from a pastor of a parish of my local assembly during a night vigil programme. He had given us amazing testimony after testimony of how he had taken to the court of heaven different cases of parishioners who asked for his prayers over their situation. And God intervened in a most miraculous way in each case. Now, during a popular Christian television programme on cable television, I once again heard about the court of heaven and how one can take cases there. I also want to testify of a recent miracle God gave an acquaintance of mine when I took her case to the court of heaven. I learnt through another friend that this lady was placed on 3 months’ suspension at work over an incident that did not warrant the suspension in the first place because she is a supervisor of a person who is directly connected to the incident. However, this incident was technology related over ...

Matthew 5:22 “ But I say to you that whoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment. And whoever says to his brother, ‘Raca!’ shall be in danger of the council. But whoever says, ‘You fool!’ shall be in danger of hell fire.” Dear people of God, I received a shocking message in my Facebook inbox 2 days ago on Thursday April 26, 2018 and from someone I don’t even know. Since there are many fraudsters and impostors on Facebook who steal other people’s identities (photos) to open another account in order to defraud others, I am wary of the messages I respond to especially when the poster is “female”. Notice I put the word FEMALE in inverted commas. It happened that this person whom I am still not sure whether male or female started chatting me 2 days before the insulting message. When the message first popped up on my PC screen, I looked at the poster and noticed it was a “female”, someone I did not know ...

Malachi 3:8-9 “ 8 Will a man rob  or defraud God? Yet you rob  and defraud Me. But you say, In what way do we rob  or defraud You? [You have withheld your] tithes and offerings. 9 You are cursed with the curse, for you are robbing Me, even this whole nation. Dear people of God, I know today’s heading will shock people and many will react that I do not know what I am saying. Mind you, I am only repeating what the Holy Bible, God’s infallible Word, has stated in today’s lead Scripture verses. I have written several posts on the topic of tithes and I will continue to write about it because a preacher of the Gospel is to speak the truth always for the spiritual and eternal benefit of ignorant believers and unbelievers alike who would come to believe, accept and implement it. The reason I decided to write about tithes today again is because there is a new issue on the internet concerning tithes. Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye of the Redeemed Chr...
