Grace and providence.

Grace and providence . Let us place them in the same platter. God does not deny his creature love and attention. All God created was done with love. And freedom was placed as a choice for man. But freedom comes with the temptation to sin. God said to Adam eat all, but one, yet that one was where sin lies. Adam had the power, the mental capability to know where a bit from the fruit would land him, that eaten of forbidden fruit looks small, but it opened the door way to more evil like the killing of Abel by his own brother. Nimrod, was a great man from the onset .Genesis 10:8 (KJV) And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth. He was the first man to build a city and that city expanded and other cities followed. Genesis 10:11 (KJV) Out of that land went forth Asshur, and builded Nineveh, and the city Rehoboth, and Calah,. he operated on Gods providence. His abilities and greatness was to bring glory to his maker, but he choose not to recognize the giver of that abiliti...

WHY BAD THINGS HAPPEN TO GOOD PEOPLE

It is the question that needs rephrasing; why do bad things happen? Bad things can happen to anybody, but the righteous will survive it and tell the story as testimonies. In my years on this journey called life I have seen and have heard some things that happened to good people. And I have equally seen and heard of bad things happening to the bad people. I know a pastor of one of the largest congregation in Africa who lost one of his sons,;i have heard of a famous pastor, who died in a private plane crash. Trying to say these things can never happen to the christians only make it diffiucult to win those outside over. thruth aand fact are truth and do not need any embelisment from any body. The rain that beats against the house of the righteous is also the rain that beats against the house of the evil one, but the righteous always survive to tell the story. If the person dies in the perceived bad situation, then God knows why; it is not everything that God reveals to his children, there...

WHY ME?

Psalms 22:1, To the chief Musician upon Aijeleth Shahar, A Psalm of David. My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring? These psalms was repeated on the cross of calvary as Jesus was fulling his mission to pay a price for the sins of the world. See Mark 15:34 And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? To be forsaken by God means to be left unattended, left to be on your own , no divine protection and the gate of heaven is shut against your cries and agonies. If there is any one who knows what it is to be abandoned by the almighty it is the mighty God himself, yes the mighty God. When iniquity and sin becomes a clothing, when we wallow in sins and other evil mires, then it is a one way ticket to be abandoned by God who has promised to be there for us. See Psalms 91:15, He shall call upon me, and I wil...

THIS MONTH OF AUGUST

No month rolls out with similar events, talks, situations and circumstances in the same seconds, and minutes, and the hours, that leads up to the 24 hours, which makes up a day. The day may have the same day, like Friday or a Saturday, but it is not possible to implant or fix the conversation of yesterday in it. It comes with its own events and happenings and personal experience for us all. By this time yesterday, some of us were eating while some were visiting a loved one. some were being carried in stretchers into operating theatre while others were giving toasts. while many of us , indeed man would have loved to know how his day will begin and end , but that knowledge belongs to the , omnipotent one, Jehovah God. yet, that does not mean man do not try everyday to pry into their future life, "their tomorrow" . The irony for the Christians who practice this is it weakens their faith. Consulting anything, to tell you, about tomorrow is forbidden by God; the bible tells us in ...

More persuasive

  All religion  believe in conversion; no religion discriminates by color, race or creed. They all believe all humans are the handiwork of a god; at least they are being honest with that. Despite the killings, and maiming associate with some of them, the ardent followers still welcome and indeed, like all other to embrace their ways and the god they worship. Good enough, these religions believes in morality and some truth in their teachings. Half truth is no truth because it is applied in order to sell a big lie. Even Satan has to apply some truth in other to sell his lies. But the one thing that separates Christianity from all other major religion is this question about life and death which all religions have addressed.  The eastern religions seem to play down the sacred nature Christianity, Islam and Judaism views life. Coincidentally the three believes in life after death. The belief in karma, a circle of rebirth till until the person achieves liberation or mystic pe...
