In Mark 5:30 we read about Jesus Christ, turning around in the midst of the crowd to ask the question; “Who touched me?” Such a question was strange, if not shocking, to his accompanying disciples.
However, Jesus Christ understood why he asked the question. He explained that he knew the reason why. He said: “For virtue has gone out of me.”
The woman who was afflicted with bleeding for twelve years secretly thought and acted amidst the crowd to touch the helm of the clothes of Jesus. She exercised strong faith of touching Jesus’s clothing in order for herself to be healed. She had said within her that; “If I may only touch the helm of his garments, I shall be made whole.” Truly, she touched Jesus; and she received healing instantly.
God calls out to the whole family of mankind to look up to Him. This is another period in human history that we all need God’s merciful intervention and deliverance from the deadly COVID-19 pandemic. Mankind has carelessly brought avoidable human disaster upon the world. Selfishness, pride, greed, arrogance and unthinkable wickedness in individuals, groups and governments have brought about this nagging agent of death. Cooperation, humility and selflessness can bring about the needed change, healing and victory.
God can make this to happen when we seek Him and humbly surrender to Him. He said: Look unto me all the ends of the earth and be ye saved. For I am God and there is none else.
God also said:
“Call unto me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things which you do not know.”
Jeremiah 33:3.
The perfect remedy for mankind is in humbly seeking after God. The LORD God of creation knows all things. He can do all things. Nothing is too hard for him. God’s blessings be upon you and your entire family and nation.

Inspite of all the ravaging disease and deaths, the LORD God is still in control of the whole world. He is a merciful God. He loves the whole world. He loves mankind whom He created. God will give us a way out of this agent of death. Having failed so many times before and on this ocassion, it is not too late to cry out and look up to God for merciful deliverance.
To the numerous families across the globe which have been bereaved, we send heartfelt condolences. May the LORD God comfort you all during these challenging times of mourning. May you experience in ways greater than before, the powerful refreshing presence of the Holy Spirit of God. Amen.
The LORD God is greater than all. He is greater than our collective failures. God is greater than all of our collective fears and anxieties. He is greater than all of our collective achievements in all fields of human endeavours. Of course, the reason for that is due to the fact that He is the source of true wisdom and knowledge.
At this juncture in human history, man has misfired. Mankind has lost his way again. Mankind is not being open enough with one another. There is race or competition for economic, technological and political supremacy among the top class nations of this world. God is watching us all, even as the blame game and buck-passing goes on.
It is written: If anyone lacks wisdom, let him ask from God. God would grant him wisdom joyfully, provided it is for a good purpose. Individuals should ask for wisdom. Leaders of governments across the globe should ask for wisdom. Scientists should ask for wisdom. Frontline Health, Security and Essential Services workers should ask for wisdom. Others who form the overwhelming majority of the populace should also ask for wisdom. God would bless us all with great answers for effective solution in our messed up world.
The old time-tested message comes to all; to the young and old. It comes to the leadership and the followership; to the rich, poor, noble and peasant.
Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon Him while he is near: Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. Isaiah 55:6-7.
God Almighty said: Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else. Isaiah 45:22. Whosoever shall call upon the name of the LORD shall be saved. Romans 10:13.
Let the whole world seek God now. He will answer us and rescue us. In these days of challenging complexities in human behaviour and governance, we need God to help us. He is waiting and eager to come to our rescue. Let human pride, stubbornness and arrogance be subdued by humility. Let us seek God now. God bless you.

Last month we posted the first part in a series of articles on the now sensitive topic of homosexuality.We assert that homosexuality is definitely a deviation from the normal, natural and old tradition of heterosexuality,as originally made by God Almighty.We uphold the conviction that God is willing, ready and able to heal and set free all those in any degree of homosexual inclination or relationship.We also know that no homosexual habit is inheritable!A homosexual man or lesbian lady cannot transmit his or her practice or behaviour through natural or biological inheritance.Traits or characteristics can only be transmitted when a man and a woman come together for procreation in a normal heterosexual relationship.Come to think of the new practice of making babies via surrogate mothers or fathers.It is self-deception that a rich and influential lady who chooses to be a lesbian goes to have babies via In-vitro Fertilization(IVF),making use of the sperm cells of a man. Similarly a rich man who elects to have babies by having his sperm cells introduced via IVF,into a willing surrogate mother,who donates her ovum and who after a nine month pregnancy plus a short period of maternal care, releases her baby to a homosexual male couple? In other procedures,sex cells from separate male and female persons have been brought together with the resultant zygote introduced into the womb of a surrogate mother, who allows her womb to be used for the development of the foetus.That has been used to help heterosexual couples who have problems with pregnancies. It is not right for homosexual couples to adopt this method. It is the peak of utter ridicule and self-deception! Why not stick to their chosen form of sexual orientation. If later on they choose to have babies, then they should repent and reject homosexuality entirely!They should not try to eat their cakes and have them at the same time! Modern society may legalize various forms of absurdities, but legalism or modernity cannot successfully naturalize all those deceptions outlined above, which run contrary to the plan and counsel of God Almighty, our Maker! Anatomical and physiological abnormalities are not the works of nature, but the effects of the stubborn, defiant manipulations of nature my human beings, under the guise of experimentations and some via geniune mistakes of drug abuses! Incomplete cleavages during gestation, have been known to produce physical deformities.There is only one human calamity and that calamity is sin! The practice and experience of sin have made human kind live in rebellion to God our Maker. This negative stance has brought many problems to human society today. We talk of global warming, green house effects, pollutions of various kinds, and the race for nuclear power. All these are on-going in the midst of glaring poverty in most parts of the world. There is the problem of deforestation and the massive ecological disasters in our world today. Many poor countries of the world have found their shores being inundated with poisonous industrial wastes from the developed countries.The distruption of the ecosystem in the poor nations eventually have a cyclic effect on the so-called perpetrators of these ecological crimes! Do these affect sexuality? Knowingly or otherwise, the long term effects of distruption of our ecosystems is capable of producing various traits in human beings who are less capable of mounting lasting resistance.Congenital deformities have been reported in few individuals. Some of these have been found to develop sexual deformities. There have been cases of siamese twins which have been separated with some aspects of corrective surgeries. There have been cases of other forms of corrective surgeries on the palate, ear, face, heart and some other parts of the human body. This is also true for domesticated animals.Certainly, not all of these have inheritable traits. It is our firm belief that none of all the forms of homosexual life syle is hereditary.We challenge anyone to prove otherwise!Human manipulations have created distortions about sexuality and sexual orientations in this 21st Century world. Dear friend, if you are willing and obedient,God is ready now to set you free from your present homosexual life style. Mark you,we do not condemn you. If you insist on your present life style,you would only have yourself to blame at the end. The whole counsel of God Almighty forbids homosexuality totally;no half measures.Anyone,group,community,society,civilization,generation,religion or government which condones homosexuality is working against God! (Deuteronomy 23:17;Leviticus 18:22; 20:13;Romans 1:18-32). It was the sin of Sodom and Gomorrah; two great cities in earliest centuries,which practised homosexuality,for which God destroyed them! How then can you or your homosexual friend or family member be set free from the strong grip of the chronic problem? Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.Homosexuality is an anti-God life style.Therefore it is a sin.Adultery,lying,theft,pride,racial discrimination,tyranny and such like are all sins.It is no worse sin than other sins.God says: Look unto me,and be ye saved,all the ends of the earth:for I am God and there is none else Isaiah 45:22. God is angry at all sins.This same God loves all sinners.Jesus Christ said:For God did not send his Son into this world to condemn it,but that through him the world might be saved (John 3:17).
