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.

Secrets of Divine actions.

This is a sequel to the last post on The Ways of God. I laid some foundations that are necessary to thoroughly understanding this teaching. You can read up THE WAYS OF GOD to catch on. God the Father is the most important revelation the new testament believer must catch. This revelation is the very core of the ministry of Jesus, while he was on earth and today in the lives of believers. The gospel has one objective which is to reveal to us the person and character of the Father. A man may be introduced to a child as being his father but it takes more than an introduction to have a family relationship. The child will only begin to relate well with this person the more the child comes to know this person. My emphasis being on the Word PERSON. I posed some questions in the concluding part of my last post. We will use them as a line to guide us to our destination. God bless you as you undertake this journey of the Word with me. I celebrate you. What drives God's divine actions is wh...

Orbis Unum

We witness a display of man's tendency for a unified system in the Babel episode as recorded in the book of genesis. Here we see man uniting and making himself mighty in a "one world" government. I want to answer two questions that arise from that episode: Was man's crave for a one world government (and that crave is still unsatisfied) an accident? Also, was God's refusal justified? "Orbis Unum" is the latin for "one world" and this has been the direction that world politics has been heading. From the time of Nimrod, to the Pharohes of Egypt, to Nebuchadnezzar, to Dairus, to Alexander the great, to Julius Ceasar, the list is endless. The primary motive that drove the manifestation of their dominion was Orbis Unum. Believe it or not, the Roman Catholic Church joined the party and Islam is about Orbis Unum.Why then is this drive towards a one world system? Understanding this will give insight into the direction that world politics is heading to...

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 ...
