Tithes Revisited (three)

"If others be partakers of this power over you, are not we rather? Nevertheless we have not used this power; but suffer all things, lest we should hinder the gospel of Christ." Moving towards the didactic crescendo, Paul reminds them of the legal claim he possesses, more than the Old Testament priesthood, over the tenth part of their substantial worth. 13) "Do ye not know that they which minister about holy things live of the things of the temple? and they which wait at the altar are partakers with the altar? 14) Even so hath the Lord ordained that they which preach the gospel should live of the gospel." The tithes that have been brought to the temple form a good part of the things found on the altar of the Temple. God's storehouse has not crumbled. Or has it?Read More

Tithes Revisited (one)

The legalism of Old Testament, concerning tithing, which they employ, does not hold any argumentative water at all. Abraham, who first offered his tithe did not have to comply out of any religious and coercive straitjacket terms. Father Abraham gave it out of sheer faith. Now we can comfortably say that God had no choice but to give an imprimatur to an idea solely envisioned by faithful Abraham, to bless HIS Israelites.

It was not only a case of God knowing this in eternity of the past, HE was the One who deposited the thought into Abraham's heart. Amen.

PROOF OF POWER (2)

February 2, 2019

Being the One who told Abraham to, "Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee:" of Genesis 12:1, it then behoves His excellent Divinity to show His Almighty power. God would not allow His covenanted son and friend to lose his wife. The manifestation of His power got Abraham's family protected from Pharaoh's incursion. Why? Satan wanted to scuttle the birth of the next man to receive the baton towards the emergence of the nation of Israel, and ultimately the birth of Jesus. Read More

Get Jesus Involved (1)

December 4, 2017

Manoah had involved Jesus when he prayed to God for a son. The epithet 'angel of the LORD' is, in many cases, the epiphany of the unseen Jehovah. This is the preincarnate manifestation of Christ Jesus. He said HIS name is 'secret' which in Hebrew is pil'ı̂y or pâlı̂y' (pil-ee') meaning: 'wonderful, remarkable, incomprehensible, extraordinary.' Who does the oracular afflatus call 'wonderful'? It is the expected Messiah of Isaiah 9:6. It is Jesus the Christ. As many times Samson got Jesus involved he brought the extortionate belligerency of the enmity of the Philistines to their knees.Read More

NO COMPROMISE (two)

November 26, 2017

Who would have known Mary if she had just as made the mistake of committing just one seemingly innocuous sexual act in her life, before marriage? One act of fornication would have broken her virginity, rendering her absolutely ineligible to conceive the Saviour of the world! One illicit sex would have disqualified her womb from the actualization of the Incarnation! “All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any;” says Paul in1Corinthians 6:12. So many useless, inconsequential habits and deeds have ruined humanity. Too bad!Read More

It is a well-known fact that Job was, personally, guiltless of the predicament he found himself. He faced his trials with a certain equanimity. Tribulations are good for us. They teach us how to wear the fitting robe of patience. It is getting worse these days after six thousand years of Adam's unfortunate act that has plunged man into this quaggy state of depravity.Read More

FAITH RESPONSIBLE (I)

September 18, 2017

Faith is an established understanding in the heart which one sees as the solution to problems. The foundational ground of faith is of utmost importance. To the unlearned heart, faith can come from anywhere, and to such mind, it is debatable when you say that true faith stems from the knowledge of the word of God, in the name of Jesus. Your faith cannot stand the true test of global vicissitudes outside Christ based faith. All other ground, as the hymn renders, is sinking sand.Read More

CAN I ADVISE GOD AS ABRAHAM AND MOSES DID? (Part 2)

If you think you can actually counsel God then you have not understood scripture according to Job 36:23, which says “Who hath enjoined him his way? or who can say, Thou hast wrought iniquity?” Let us study the key words involved. ‘Enjoined’ is paqad (paw-kad'), meaning: ‘1. to visit (with friendly or hostile intent) 2. (by analogy) to oversee, muster, charge, care for, miss, deposit.’ Read More

To the parents, especially the father, "Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it [Proverbs 22:6]. The word 'train' is an interesting one, it is chanak (khaw-nak'): 'properly to narrow; figuratively to initiate, catechize or discipline'.Read More

THE DESTINATION OF YOUR DESTINY (I)

October 29, 2016

The word ‘destiny’ is not found in the Bible; and when I say Bible, I mean the KJV. An implication of it is represented though in John 14:6, "I am the way, the truth, and the life no man……." The word 'way' is hodos: 'path, road, by implication destiny'. Jesus is the only path to the perfection of good destination of success!Read More

ISRAEL (1st part)

February 1, 2016

Israel is Jehovah's involvement. Israel is God's personal invention. It is God's child, son and wife. God's investment on Israel is too huge to become an abandoned, white elephant project. Israel is the actualization of His reconstructive dream of the epitome project of creationism - mankind. Who or what can kill God's own nurtured eternal dream? Read More
