 IS GOD IMAGINED?


Because we must ALL live together, there cannot be true human FREEDOM unless it is regulated by a UNIVERSAL law and enforcer above us all - GOD.


It is for the above reason that some people guess that the ancients imagined God into existence. 


The guess however fails to stand because of the clear interventions of God in what would otherwise have been our life based on chance. Here are three of His interventions:


1. THE BIBLE. God gave His Word and laws to Israel, a nation that has persisted till today. The compilation of his interaction with them up to AD 100 makes up the book called the Bible. It is the only authoritative reference for the mind of God, and it describes origins and how things work in a way that that ultimately refutes all alternative views.


2. JESUS CHRIST. Over 2,000 years ago, He came down as fully human, lived perfectly, died, resurrected, and ascended. Global date refers to His times, and no one exceeds Him in perfection of conduct. All man-made laws soon fall apart, except those that make Him the standard.


3. THE CHURCH. The church that Jesus started currently holds sway over at least a third of human population without violence. Its reason for existence is to conclude all humanity under God's rule of love with justice. Every government on Earth is glad to count on the disciplined and selfless lives of the members of the church. All know very well that no rule of law is possible without Christians' obligation to forgive those who offend them and set example in upright living wherever they are.


God has SPOKEN.

God has COME.

God is AT WORK in us.


God is not imagined.

THE CHRISTIAN AND THE LAW OF MOSES

July 3 at 7:48 AM  ·  On the Christian and the Law of Moses Since Christ has set you free from the curse of the Law, now put to death the following: 1. Fornication 2. Uncleanness 3. Passion (letting evil thoughts control you) 4. Evil desires 5. Covetousness, which is idolatry 6. Anger, or wrath 7. Malice 8. Blasphemy 9. Filthy language 10. Lies "Because of these, God's wrath comes on the disobedient, ... "For the wrongdoer will be paid back for whatever wrong he has done, and there is no favoritism." (Colossians 3:5-11, 25) Observation : Whoever has been set free by Christ, whether Jew or Gentile, is now more acutely aware of the destructive nature of what the law forbids, and why God abhors them. He or she is therefore expected to uproot them from his/her system (put them to death, NOT JUST SHOW THE SURFACE LEVEL COMPLIANCE WITH THE LAW). Otherwise, they should expect the same judgment that God visits on those who do them! For, th

FOR BETTER FOR WORSE FOR GOOD

 FOR BETTER FOR WORSE FOR GOOD Your spouse isn't in your life simply to give you blissful days. He or she is in also to improve your character by stretching it to limits no one else can.  Just like change of lesson at school, couples regularly give each other bad days without even intending to. Those are all providential too. That is why every marriage looks nicer from the outside, at least soon as the honeymoon is over. Over time, after you've learnt to trust better and let some things go, you'll understand that you've been forged for greater things.  During the 'difficult lesson' periods, consider first which aspects of your own character is being dealt with, and try and make amends, otherwise, you'll have to do remedials several times over.  You focus also on God's overall goodness to you, and make room to thank Him. Don't let your grumbling steal His honor and praise. He is the one refining us, and though He passes us through fire, He is with us

(Economy African Cereals and Tubers Edition) 1. Gari (roasted milled cassava) ________________________________ Champion - can be prepared to be eaten with soup, stews or sugar. Stores quite well and has earned a lot of respect across West Africa. 2. Kyekyire (milled/powdered roasted dry corn) ________________________________________________ 1st Contender - can be prepared and eaten with sugar, soup or stews. Is usually in contention with tom-brown (which is not locally produced). Significantly durable, but usually priced higher than gari. 3. Akple (milled/powdered dry corn) _____________________________________ 2nd Contender - can be prepared to be eaten with soups, stews or sugar, but may need regular drying to stay healthy. People prefer to keep dry corn to transform into Kyekyire or konkonte as the need arises. 4. Kokonte (milled/powdered dry cassava) ___________________________________________ High ranking - to be prepared and eaten with soup or stews, but not
