When You Have Questions? by kpakpandoN(m): 5:51am On May 06, 2023 |
As a younger Christian, I had many difficult questions for my pastors. For example, since Genesis 1:1 says, “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth”, I asked where He was before He created Heaven, but none of them could answer. Since I could not get answers from my pastors, I turned to God and He answered me. The reason we don’t understand certain things in the word of God is in Isaiah 55:8-9: For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. Some of the things that you are trying to explain with logic are far higher and deeper than what the ordinary human mind can process. In the Sciences, we say, “Prove it and I will believe you”. God however says, “Believe me and I will prove it”. If you are not ready to believe God’s word because you don’t understand it, you may never experience the power in it and you would be the one on the losing end. There was one particular question that I had from the story of Elisha and the Syrian army who had come to arrest him in 2 Kings 6:8-23. Elisha told them that they were in the wrong place then led them to Samaria where they were captured and then later released. I wondered for a long time how God could have supported how Elisha deceived the soldiers, until the day He explained by asking, “My son, if death were to come knocking on your door asking for you, would you welcome it in? If sickness comes asking for you, will you hug it? If poverty comes looking for your address, will you say it is in the right place?” When you have questions, turn to God for answers. He alone can open your eyes to behold the wonders in His word (Psalm 119:18). Written by Pastor E.A. Adeboye. |

kpakpandoN: God is the Father of infinity, meaning He is the Father of eternity, everything we have learnt Here from Quantum physics, quantum reality, biology, medicine, philosophy, mathematics and psychology are suited for our space,time, and matter limitations. In the Land beyond infinity where time does not exist cannot be grasped by the finite human mind. God cannot be searched out,you can study God for all of eternity and you still will not grasp Him. That is why He says in His Word in 1 Corinthians 1:25 " The foolishness of God is wiser than than man's wisdom. And the weakness of God is stronger bthan man's strength." The Wisdom of God is the sacrificng of His only begotten Son Jesus Christ on the cross in order to reconcile unto Himself. In 1 Corinthians 1: 24 " But unto them which are called both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the Wisdom of God." So if you want to get a glimpse of God's wisdom it is not through philosophy, ethics or theological debate it is accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and personal Saviour. Having a daily relationship with Him is Godly Wisdom. So my brothers and sisters are you Born again? have you humbly and sincerely accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and personal Saviour? Have you asked Him to wash you with His precious blood.?Have you asked Him to give you His Grace and make your heart filled with His Righteousness and Purity. It is not too late my Brothers and Sisters, kindly do so now, for it is written in the Book of Romans 19 :9-10 " That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shall believe in thine heart that God has raised Him from the dead. Thou shalt be saved." Verse 10 " For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." So my brothers and sisters do not hesitate, there is no time left. (2 Thessalonians 2:7) " For the mystery of iniquity doeth already work, only He who now letteth will let untill it be taken out of the way." Submit your life to Jesus Christ now. Read your Bible and pray fervently every morning and at night and also at spare times. God loves you so much, make sure you attend a bible believing Church where Jesus Christ is the center of the message alongside Holiness and Righteousness.
