Previously we dealt with the idea of predestination/election, and I hope I emphasized with enough Bible evidence that those who claim God does not predestine and elect us unto salvation have either never read their Bibles or are deliberately being dishonest. In light of that, let us now go on and deal with the concept of our human freewill. How is it possible that God can elect who will be saved without violating your individual will to choose him?   As somebody who studies Scripture without bias, I can confirm to you without fear that Scripture teaches that we have free will to either reject or accept the call to salvation. Fortunately, I do not use that fact to discredit or to deny another Biblical truth of predestination. Yes, the good Lord has predestined who will be saved, yet at the same time Jesus died for all men and calls all men everywhere to freely make the decision of repentance and faith. Those two doctrines are both Biblical and true and I have no problem with it . I ...

Actually, I am not really concerned about whether a man can cry or not, of course they can cry! Unless they are not humans. My topic is about the feminisation of men in our society. Which seems to be a growing trend – worryingly so. Perhaps I am the one who is just naïve by seeing things that are not there, however, I would like to continue my nativity because I am definitely convinced that if you were to observe men about 3o years ago, our fathers perhaps, compared to the kind of men that we are raising now, something quite isn’t the same. Those old timers had some manliness about them, some masculinity, which was even evident in the way they dressed themselves. For one, they were not afraid of handwork, they were responsible at home, and they even boasted in their physical fitness.  Thanks to women rights movements, and their feminists friends, women are being elevated and encouraged to have strong wills and self-determination; to “man up” while men are being discouraged from thi...

Raise your hand if you have heard someone talk about something called Calvinism. Which according to them is a false doctrine that teaches that God has predestined and elected those who will be saved, while allowing the rest to go to hell. I am told that is a cruel doctrine because apparently, God is so loving of everyone, Jesus died for all men, therefore He cannot, in a million lifetimes elect who will be saved. It’s now up to us mankind to freely choose or reject Him.   Well, this is the day to discuss this critical issue, thoughtfully and Biblically. Just to set the record straight, I am not here to condemn or support Calvinism, that is someone else’s responsibility. In fact, we already a full explanation of what is the TULIP (Calvinism) on this platform. My goal today is to handle the idea of predestination and election: what does the Bible say about that? A definition : predestination simple means to decide the outcome of something before it even starts . The idea is that God ...

Nothing in the life of a Christian is as vital as Scripture. That is, a believer’s faith matures and grows as a result of his regular interaction with the Word of God; read, taught and obeyed. Once you miss the significance of this (your Bible), then you are already living on danger’s edge because anything that comes, any supposed knowledge or teaching is bound to be accepted by your spirit as truth. I say this with a grieving heart because I am reminded of certain ministers and those who follow them, who love what they have labelled as “deliverance.” Which is a highly dramatic event that happens in their churches where demons who possess some individuals are given a fair share of the church’s time and a platform to express their evil and of course, to tell the congregation who they are. What these spirits speak is recorded, believed and applied to the lives of God’s people. For example, if some demonic being speaks through a young woman and confesses that she came into that girl becau...

I bet most of us have heard about something called Calvinism. In fact, the people who are responsible for making this term famous are the critics of it. They are the ones on the campaign of telling all of us that “Calvinism is a cruel false doctrine that misrepresents the character of God.” Allow me, therefore, to give you a brief, yet clear explanation of it. What I don’t want is for you to agree with those who criticise Calvinism while you have no idea of what it is . Instead, I want all of us to have knowledge of the entire teaching, so that you will decide on your own whether this Calvinism thing is biblical or not. John Calvin was the Pastor of St Pierre Cathedral Church in Geneva, Switzerland. He was originally from France and is the pioneer behind the Protestant Reformation, after Martin Luther. Calvin’s doctrine is summarized in his book the Institutes of the Christian Religion, from which he is credited with what is known as the TULIP, which is a five set of doctrines about sa...

Come to the front if you sincerely believe that you have seen a vision, or an angel or an encounter with Jesus, or any other extraordinary spiritual experience. Some of us are just common Christians, we have not seen any of those things. We don’t know how it feels like to have a tour of heaven with angel Michael while still on earth.  Therefore, we always have questions about such encounters. If you happen to be one of those lucky Christians, and you don’t mind, please enlighten us and give us answers to these questions: How do we know it’s true? We are definitely not denying that the Lord Jesus Himself appeared in your bedroom, the problem is that we have no way of verifying it . For a start, you were alone when this happened; there are no other witnesses besides you, how then do we know that this encounter really happened? Do you have any other evidence of this event beside what you tell us? Therefore, we will always be suspicious of your visions and encounters. We don’t’ trust t...
