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.

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 ...
