WHERE ARE THE GODS III- The conclusion of the matter.

The great teacher and the wisest king who ever lived, carefully observed life and all the machinations of man and reached the conclusion that all amounts to vanity. In the peak of man's iniquity we seek to answer the question: where are the gods?

From the two previous volumes on this subject, we see that man's abstract and tangible gods have grossly failed him: Philosophy, logic, so called primodial beings and ancestral spirits. There is the incontrovertible reality of the existence of certain supernatural elements that have had a strong influence on the civilizations of man in times past. That they are still influencing the trajectory of man's endevours is no excusable fact. However, the issue to settle is that as much as they have defined or given form to the present cosmos, there still remains providing, once and for all, a solution to man's insatiable hunger for a fellowship with the supernatural. It is rather comical to believe in deities who can not provide a panacea for man's disease called "corruption" but amplify the problem, masking in in elaborate ceremonies and rites.

The failing politics, economies, families, religious systems et cetera, all allude to the futility of the efforts of the gods (whether they be our own mental contraptions or some spiritual beings) to keep us enclosed in their thick cloud of ignorance and entrapped in their maze of confusion. Very gradually, the world is wakening to the knowledge of the source of all that was, is and will ever be- the one true God. He is not the essence of some religion as some wiish to see it. Rather, he is a personal God who wants a personal relationship with his creation! You can not find him in any religion because religion is a system that derives from elaborate laws, methods, deceptions and coercing. He is the one revealed in every awe of nature, the one revealed in the greatest awe of all eternity, Jesus, the anointed on e and His anointing. Every believer who has broken free from the shackles of religion, tradition and mechanical Christianity, understands the depth of what I'm talking about. Every babe has the prospect of growing into the fulness of this knowledge and every one who does not believe is invited to have a tiny, little faith and believe.

Satan and his cohorts have sought to keep us in the abbys of ignorance. Praise God for redemption. Now the conclusion of the whole matted: Fear God and keep his command for this is the whole duty of a man (Eccl 12:13).

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

Tests of purpose and vision- The sequel

Last time on this series, we examined four of twelve tests of purpose and vision- The test of apetite, pride, sex and money. Let's continue from where we stopped. As an addendum to the test of money, let me quickly say that most christians find it rather challanging to be faithful when it comes to money. Money is the only thing Jesus put in the god class when he said "you can not serve God and mammon". The problem believers have is the love of money which, as scriptures put it, is the root of all evil. We have seen (and we will always see) men do all sort of things for the sake of money. Believers have to be espeially areful in this area because what you do for immediate gain and satisfaction could cost you your destiny. Now to the next test- The test of Parenthood. Honour your parents (Eph 6:1-3). How you treat your parents affects your destiny either positively or negatively. The consequence of dishonouring your parents is not just a curse but the result of breaking

The Shift

Happy new year to all my esteemed readers around the world. We have, together, seen the end of the first decade of the 21st century and i have been doing alot of thinking and personal evaluation. I have come to the conclusion that there is a place where we are, or were, and there is a place where we ought to be, or are tending towards. One of the most significant things that will happen in the year 2011 is the shift. This shift will happen on a personal and global scale and the shaking will bring about mixed consequences. This shift i am talking about will be characterised by "seasons." Your control of your seasons will determine where you will end your shift process. There are certain things you must know about your season: every season has it's benefits no matter how gloomy every season has an opportunity for growth in all four dimensions of human consciousness viz: Imagination,conscience,will power and self awareness. You need the right tool to master your seaso
