Hard work is commonly considered necessary by ordinary people. But it was hard work that unnecessarily affected humanity, after Adam’s curse. Otherwise, God did not create humanity in His own image so they could toil in this physical universe and perish miserably. It is unnecessary to succumb to living under…
Whose Lord is Jesus?
Why is Jesus identified as “Lord of Lords” and “King of Kings”? (Rev 19:16). Why not the “Lord of the world” or “King of the world”? When Jesus walked on earth, only His disciples called Him “Lord.” The Lordship’s secret is hidden from the entire world. The mystified ones will…
Listening requires duplication before understanding.
Anyone can test his/her art of listening by how tolerant he/she would be, listening to those with different viewpoints. Poor listeners are those who cannot tolerate listening to what they disagree with. However, good listeners are those willing to listen to anything coming from another fellow human being. The violators…
There is comfort in slavery
God’s image implies that by nature, all humans belong to the God family. Lost in degradation, very few humans accept this reality. Jesus faced the most strenuous opposition, by the Jews who could not entertain any idea of being likened to God. The Jews had held the truth that a…
The delusions of introversion
In my approximately seven decades of survival on this planet, my accumulated experience reveals that all failures are a result of introversion. This, basically, describes the idea of focusing on one’s own interests, thoughts and feelings. Hardworking for purposes of accumulation of wealth and properties are symptomatic of introversion. This…
God’s Church is revealed by its secrecy
The true Church of God is not revealed by those declaring to represent it. Neither is it revealed through flamboyancy or charisma. As belonging to God, that Church is revealed to those having become God’s children. The rest remain committed to the founders of their respective denominations. At its formation,…
Gukurahundi victims are at a conditional advantage.
Wickedness can be as infectious as any other contagious disease, attracted by similar conditions. Any transmittable disease behaves similarly to how fire spreads. Quarantining has been the only effective way of handling infectious diseases. Without knowledge, anyone gets affected by other people’s evil conduct. In an emotionally charged room, where…
Good leaders cannot claim to be good.
Bad leaders are identified by their declaration of being better than others. Sadly, in Africa, it seems no politician would be taken seriously, as long as not highlighting his own good attributes. Good leaders have to compete with those convincing ordinary people with falsehoods. This is what makes it impossible…
The majority of people are their own jailors
Most of those living in this world, are under irresistible bondage. Everything comes to be, without being caused by the person concerned. For instance, circumstances, forcing humans to look for employment or else starve to death, are considered normal. Tradition is given respect, ahead of a person’s own condition of…
A Christian is stronger in his weaknesses
Women travel with mirrors and spend time checking their looks in mirrors. This appears normal and innocent, but inapplicable in Christianity. A human being is not identified by the looks in the mirror. Created in God’s image, a human being is different from physical looks.
