Silence of the lambs...

Nothing stirs my spirit more than when I see men rejoice in ignorance,Ignorant men who do not wnat to get wisdom. Oh brethren, did not the scripture say that wisdom is the principal thing and that in all our getting we should get wisdom? Men of this age are pursuing every other thing but wisdom. My bible tells me that wisdom was present when the foundations of this world was laid. What then is there that we desire to be instructed in that we can not get from the school of wisdom.
How overwhelming is the foolishness of this world, how pathetic is the life of the man who celebrates his ignorance! He is caught in the trap of an insatiable urge to always hear his own voice and bewitched by a strong sense of entitlement. Let us therefore listen more than we speak for in patient listening comes epiphany. The enterance of God's word gives light and understanding to the simple. Seek wisdom and you shall find her. Not in the volumes of man's knowledge for man has been confused since after the fall, but in the hidden mystries of christ, hid from the world from its foundations but revealed in us by Christ. Christ is the wisdom of God and He lives in us,so we have the mind of Christ and speak the mystries of the unsearchable riches of Christ to a foolish and dying world. Indeed the groanings of creation will soon be silenced by the manifestation of the sons of God.
Seek wisdom therefore, seek her passionately...seek her.

Thankful Thinking and Thanksgiving

I have a thought to share this morning. It is on the Thankful thinking and Thanksgiving.  One book of the Bible I really love is the Psalms. I love it because I can identify with it. It is a picture of the relationship between humanness and divinity, insufficiency and all-suffifiency, fallibility and grace. It is a picture of us and God, us swallowed in as we are, in His accommodating grace. David, expresses the principle of the success of this relationship in faith (conviction), trust and absolute dependence.  Thanks flows from a mind that acknowledges provision from a posture of dependence. Paul said we have no bragging rights because there is nothing we have that we have not received (1 Co 4:7). Our ingratitude therefore comes from our ignorance of our plant-to-soil kind of relationship with divinity as set forth by the law of creation: no creature is independent of its creator, every creature draws sustenance from its creator, the creator is source and sustainer of...

The Grace of Our Lord Jesus, the love of God and communion with the Spirit

On the Grace of our Lord, the Father's love and the communion of the Spirit in the life of the Believer. 2Cor 13:14 is a portion of Scripture quoted so often in church that the mention of it brings closing of service or benediction to mind. In this portion of Scripture which indeed is a prayer, is hidden an eternally powerful truth. It is my confidence that the Spirit of God by the will of God will shed light on our spirits as we seek the light of this truth, embrace it and apply it daily in our walk with God. It says "the Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Love of God and the sweet fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all". What a prayer! First it is seen in this prayer, THE WORD, THE FATHER and THE SPIRIT. Once upon a time, in the beginning of time, there was a convocation and in that meeting, Elohim, was there with The Logos and His Pneuma, and the result was creation. What if there is a creative mystery embedded in this prayer in the life of a believer? What ...

The Owner of the Office knows best.

Earlier this evening I decided to cook for the family. I wanted to prepare a local delicacy popular with the Enugu people of Eastern Nigeria. It is called Okpa. It is a pudding made from the flour of bambara nuts with palm oil, pepper and a little salt. You can add pepper to taste. My son is particularly fond of it. Well, my wife is the manager of the kitchen and the store. She went to church for clean up, leaving me and my boy at home. I decided to give her a helping hand. It was she who organized the store and it was she who really knew where what was kept. I invaded her office with good intentions. But you know how that saying goes that good intentions are not enough. I had never prepared Okpa myself but I have watched her do it several times. I can learn by observation so I knew what to do. I entered into the store and got the flour I used, combining it with the other ingredients and seasoning it to taste. It was going to be delicious and I felt proud of myself. I put it on the ...
