WHERE ARE THE GODS II

WHERE ARE THE GODS IS A TRIBUTE TO THE VICTORY OF WISDOM OVER IGNORANCE,the victory of redemption over slavery.

In this sequel,I will continue based on what I term my favourite part of the previous volume.
History is a catalogue of man's abysmal failure in his attempt to find the primordial 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,exhaustive and conclusive view that answers once and for all, the question of the mystery of the supernatural.


In this state,man could not understand the workings of the supernatural,this being the consequence of man's separation from God and His divine nature.Man attributed every phenomenon he could not understand to figments of his imagination as well as other forces that man's separated spirit connected with by virtue of his fallen state.In the first volume I referred to the abstract gods: reasoning,logic and all other derivatives.Here,I'm referring to the  tangible gods: Idols and ancestral spirits.And as I hinted in the previous volume,man has spiraled down the path of confusion.Indeed there is an assortment of these deities with various shades and appearance.However,like the gods of old,the gods of the 21st century- money,fashion,wall street e.t.c.,have not been able to alleviate the inner sufferings of mankind.The world as we now know it, is in the middle of an aggravating crisis consequent upon the failure of man's gods.So, I ask one more time,Where are the gods?
To the believer who is loosing faith,I ask:Has God hidden Himself through the ages?Has He stopped being God?I oncce read a post on Facebook that says "God is no longer in control of the world".You can now see what my motivation behind this writeup is.I want to give faith to the weary beliver and make a believer from the unbeliever.It is not by my own means that i hope to achieve this,I am only pointing in the direction of the answer as I am inspired to.

Oh that man will have a little faith and believe the simple fact that There is God,he loves us and can only help us when we invite Him.All our gods have failed us...
While musing on this part,I had some other insight which I want to share now. The various schools of thought have offered suggestions in an attempt to explain the origin of all things,the begining of time,how we came to be,what we are doing here and what happens after here.These are the most pertinent questions that have bogged mankind since after the fall.I make it a point to emphasise after the fall because this is when man started living in depravity and delusion.Since man by his own volition,plunged himself into into an identity crisis,he since lost touch with the god in him.Every other man after Adam was born in the image of man and in his likeness.This is why Cain could commit murder given that there had been no previous experience to that effect i.e. there was no previous example from which he had learned.

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 ...

A case for Heavenly Mindedness.

It is often said "do not be so heavenly conscious that you become earthly useless" but I say unto you, the man who is conscious of eternity as he ought cannot and will not be earthly useless. His heart will be set on pleasing God and that means obeying God's every instruction on his life. There is no man who has so lives that turns out useless to his world and generation. Jesus didn't turn out that way nor did the apostles and every other saint whose names we mention and whose works we reference. Their contributions derived from inspiration that flowed from their following God faithfully is the light we now shine for the next generation. This systematic secularization of the church is what is standing between men and their eternal destines on the earth. We complain we do not have devoted men serving God but we preach that men should balance spirituality and secularism. It is not so in God’s word. You cannot serve two masters. You are either following God or you are f...

SEXUAL PURITY

Sex. This three letter word is one of the most talked about subject in the world. In fact, we live in a highly sexualized generation. I have seen bill boards that have pictures of ladies not properly dressed, advertising tooth paste! Movies are not interesting without sex, novels struggle to sell if there is no touch of sex. It is hard these days for young people to live untangled lives, free from the grip and influence of sex. Marriages are not free either as infidelity remains a leading cause of divorce. I read twenty-six different stories today, sad tales of young men who were molested at some point in their life, some were raped. There are also stories of women whose lives carry scars from sexual abuse. The world we live in is sexually charged and there are now all sorts of ways people go about discharging. The journey towards sexual purity begins at gaining a proper understanding of sex. This understanding can only be formed from God's word. This understanding will be built...
