THERE IS ONLY ONE GOD, THE CREATOR OF HEAVEN AND EARTH; AND THERE IS ONLY ONE SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST, THE ONLY BEGOTTEN SON OF THE ONLY TRUE GOD – ALL OTHER GODS AND SAVIORS ARE THE WORKS OF MEN, AND THOSE THAT MAKE THEM ARE LIKE THEM. BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN CHRIST, THERE ARE INCREASING NUMBER OF PEOPLE ALL OVER THE WORLD WHO NO LONGER BELIEVE THAT GOD EXISTS. THERE ARE THOSE EVEN IN THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST WHO NO LONGER BELIEVE THAT JESUS CHRIST IS THE ONLY WAY TO GOD AND TO HEAVEN. AND SOME OF US ARE GETTING UNNECESSARILY AGITATED ABOUT THESE DEVELOPMENTS. BUT WE OUGHT NOT.BRETHREN, WE SHOULD NEVER BE WORRIED OR DISMAYED ABOUT THIS - FOR THE SCRIPTURES ARE SIMPLY BEING FULFILLED IN OUR VERY EYES. FOR THE SCRIPTURES SAY THAT WIDE AND BROAD IS THAT WAY THAT LEADS TO DESTRUCTION AND MANY ARE FINDING IT; BUT NARROW AND EVEN AT TIMES TREACHEROUS, IS THE WAY THAT LEADS TO ETERNAL LIFE AND FEW ARE WALKING THEREIN. MEN AND BRETHREN, GOD HAS DONE MORE THAN ENOUGH TO MAKE EVERY LIVING THING WHOSOEVER AND WHATSOEVER, NOT TO BE LEFT IN ANY DOUBT WHATSOEVER THAT HE EXISTS – AND HE WILL NOT DO MORE. EVERY PERSON BORN INTO THIS WORLD COMES WITH AND IMMEDIATE REALITY THAT LIFE HERE IS TEMPORARY AND FLEETING. BUT AS WE GROW UP, WE MAKE CHOICES – AND ONE OF THESE CHOICES IS TO HOLD THAT WE JUST HAPPENED FROM NOTHING, AND BY IMPLICATION, WE WILL ALSO ONE DAY JUST DISAPPEAR INTO NOTHING. THIS IS THE IMAGINATION OF SOME OF THOSE WE OFTEN DESCRIBE AS THE GREATEST MINDS ON EARTH – THE “GREAT” SCIENTISTS AND PHILOSOPHERS. HOW WRONG WE HAVE BEEN IN OUR ASSUMPTIONS. BRETHREN, THE BIBLE SAYS THAT ONLY A FOOL SAYS THAT GOD DOES NOT EXIST. SO WE SHOULD KNOW THAT THOSE WE CALL “EXPERTS” AND “GREAT”, AND WHO SAY THAT GOD DOES NOT EXIST, ARE INDEED THE MOST FOOLISH OF ALL THE INHABITANTS OF THE EARTH – THE MOST WRETCHED OF THE EARTH. BRETHREN, WHOEVER SAYS THAT GOD DOES NOT EXIST IS A SHALLOW MINDED FELLOW- LACKING IN UNDERSTANDING AND WISDOM. IRRESPECTIVE OF WHATEVER THAT PERSON HAS“ACHIEVED”, THAT PERSON HAS ACHIEVED NOTHING – FOR WE KNOW THAT WITHOUT GOD WE CAN DO NOTHING! BRETHREN, IT TAKES THE MOST BRILLIANT MIND TO BELIEVE THAT GOD IS – AND IT EVEN TAKES THE MOST AUDACIOUS MIND TO TAKE A STEP FURTHER TO BELIEVE THAT THE SAME GOD IS ALSO A REWARDER OF ALL THAT DILIGENTLY SEEK HIM. BUT HEAR THIS – IT TAKES THE GREATEST MIND ON EARTH TO ACCEPT CHRIST AS ONE’S LORD AND SAVIOR. THIS IS THE MYSTERY OF GODLINESS. BRETHREN, WE THAT ARE SAVED ARE TRULY THE ONES THAT HAVE TRUE KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING. WE THAT ARE SAVED ARE TRULY THE ONES THAT HAVE WISDOM, TRUE WISDOM – WISDOM FROM ABOVE. WE CAN THEN SEE HOW FOOLISH AND SHAMEFUL IT IS WHEN SOME FOLKS EVEN IN CHURCH TRY TO USE UNBELIEVERS AS EXAMPLES OF EXCELLENCE AND ACHIEVEMENT. IT IS FUTILE TO COMPARE UNBELIEVERS AND BELIEVERS – IT AMOUNTS TO COMPARING HEAVEN AND EARTH – FOR THOSE THAT TRULY UNDERSTAND. BRETHREN, HAVE WE QUICKLY FORGOTTEN THAT JESUS WAS KILLED BY THE BRIGHTEST MINDS ON EARTH –BECAUSE THEY BELIEVED THAT BY SO DOING THEY WOULD HAVE STOPPED THE SOURCE OF TRUE WISDOM AND KNOWLEDGE? THEY COULD NOT UNDERSTAND HIM, BECAUSE HE OPERATED ABOVE THEIR LIMITATIONS - AND THEY BECAME OFFENDED. BRETHREN, THE WISDOM THAT IS OF THIS EARTH IS EARTHLY AND ENDS HERE; BUT THE WISDOM THAT IS FROM ABOVE IS OF GOD AND ENDURES FOREVER. WHICH THEN IS SUPERIOR? I LEAVE YOU WITH THE ANSWER. BRETHREN, BY WHAT WE SEE AROUND US EVERY DAY, EVEN A CHILD WILL UNDERSTAND THAT LIFE HERE IS WORTHLESS. BUT THE WISEST OF THE EARTH, THEIR BRILLIANT MINDS, WILL CONTINUE TO LOOK TO PUSH THE EARTH FURTHER AND FURTHER SEEKING FOR WHAT IS NOT. BRETHREN, WE HAVE NO BUSINESS EVER ENVYING THE WICKED – VIRTUALLY NONE. WHATEVER THE WICKED POSSESSES IN HIS WICKEDNESS IS JUST AN IMITATION OF WHAT IS. BRETHREN, EVERY TANGIBLE AND EVERLASTING PROJECT IS OF GOD. OUR GOD IS THE POSSESSOR OF HEAVEN AND OF EARTH, AND WE THAT ARE SAVED ARE JOINT POSSESSORS OF HEAVEN AND OF EARTH. OUR FATHER IN HEAVEN IS THE OWNER OF THE WORLD AND ITS FULLNESS. WE ALSO THAT ARE SAVED ARE JOINT OWNERS OF THE WORLD, WITH ALL THAT IS THEREIN. OUR DADDY IN HEAVEN HAS GIVEN US THE POWER TO SHAPE THE WORLD TO SUIT OUR TASTE. LETS STEP OUT AND BE WHO GOD HAS CREATED US TO BE…………… IT IS FOREVER WELL WITH THE RIGHTEOUS. Thus saith the Lord the king of Israel, and his Redeemer the Lord of hosts; I AM the First, and I AM the Last: and beside Me there is no God. And who, as I, shall call, and shall declare it, and set it in order for Me, since I appointed the ancient people? And the things that are coming, and shall come, let them show unto them. Fear ye not, neither be afraid: have not I told thee from that time, and have declared it? Ye are even My witnesses. Is there a God beside Me? Yea, there is no God: I know not any……ISAIAH 44:6-8.
