WHERE ARE THE GODS.

Wrapped in the cocoon of self consciousness,we have grappled with the complexities and intrigues of our primeval essence.As a species,we have tried to profer solutions to the mind bugging,ageless question of our identity,origin,purpose and destination . As a consequence of the confusion we have found our selves,various schools of human consciousness have proferred answers that have left us more bewildered than ever.We find ourselves surrounded by a cacophony of opinions without the prospect of convergence.




Devoid of adequate understanding and exhibiting exhuberance in ignorance,we attributed every phenomenon that defied our logic and cognition to some force or metaphysical element and brewed a concoction of deities.Some say these deities are primodal beings while others believe that they are the essence of our forebears watching over us.When we have questions,we run to them.When we have problems,we ask them to solve them.We make elaborate sacrifices and pour libations,each cult featuring a distinct style.



To the intellectual mind,I have this question.Will man's existence be defined by a bouquette of deities and elemental forces?How can we then presume the validity of our carnal theology,considering that mankind is still unable to fill the void in his soul.Neither the concepts of monotheism or polytheism is solving man's crisis in his desire for a connection with the supernatural.



That there is a suprenatural is an established fact.Man's science alludes to that fact.Where we need insight now is:What or Who is behind the supernatural? We have choosen lofty pursuits in our bid to answer this question.We have fought wars,built contraptions and in fact defined various civilizations on various answers to this question. History is a catalogue of man's abyssmal failure in his attempt to find the primodal force and understand the primeval order of the universe.In all the lofty pursuits that have made up the disciplines, civilizations and cultures of man,there is yet to be found a convergent,exhustive and conclusive view that answers once and for all,the question of the mystry of the supernatural.Where then are the answers we seek?Have we beel looking in the wrong places?



The simple things of life reveal in startling clearity an intelligent influence from an eternal agency.The atheist recognises this fact.



Where then are our gods and why have they failed us? In the three domains of our human consciousnes- memory,contemplation and imagination, we find that the gods live in our brains!They only were a figment of our imaginations,our "quick-fixes" to our dilema,each one leading us down the downward spiralling path of self anihilation.Our being oblivious of the essence of our existence has left us more perplexed about our existence than we ever were.We are driven by frustration to find alternative fixes for our depravity.We find the truth about God quaint.It is too simple,we need lofty answers saturated with jargons.How foolish have we become!Where are our gods now?Where is the science,philosophy,logic and all the other mental inventions we so highly exhalt?



This is my conclusion:As much as you try,concoct more theories and philosophies,your gods never existed,they were in your head!There were no gods,there are no gods and there will never be gods.There is only one God -Jehovah,the author of the universe,And he is not in the complex philosophies,theories and equations (products of your imagination,your gods which you worship!).He is in the simple things of life.Look around you.

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 ...

Complete in Him.

We have been given different templates for defining completeness in life by pou society.Some schools of thought have it in the form of physical substance.They believe that you are complete if you have money and influence.Others believe you are complete if you have men at your beck-and-call,yet others believe that a complete man is one who can satisfy his woman in all ramifications. What is completeness then?The bible tells us that completeness is not in the things we do but in who we are.In this world,there are two kinds of people: those who are in the middle of an identity crisis (No thanks to the fall),and those who now know who they are in Christ. Paul the Apostle said in Eph 1:22-23 that God made Christ the head over all things to the Church which is his body,the fullness of Him who fills all in all , so you see that Christ is not only the fullness of all things in God but he also fills all things in God.We can also say that Christ is the completenes of all things in God ...

Vodoo Dream

 Beads of prespiration pouring down as the heat of the sun mercilessly saps from the juice of vitality.With this gloomy reality enshrouding in its overwhelming magnitude, an escape must be sought, and fast. To elope into phantasm, a world surreal but loaded with endless promises of repose from the weariness of the travails of the battles of every day life, is the only open option of escape from this disarticulating, dicappiteting cosmos. Or is it? With so much self imposed definitions to the concept of  humanity, so much ambiguity is left unresolved. Schooled minds advocate pragmatic solutions to humanity's dilema, others prefer some phantasma. In acute despiration to alleviate this seemingly unending affliction, complications emanate by the lack of virtue, the virtue called responsibility. Without ability to accept and be accountable for the initiation of the chain reactions of cause and effect, gropping in darkness is inevitable. Having denied the true essence of...
