The genealogy of Adam and why Cain is missing

Image
  This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him; Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created. And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, after his image; and called his name Seth: And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters: And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years: and he died. And Seth lived an hundred and five years, and begat Enos: (Genesis 5:1-6|KJV- From this account, we discovered that in Adam's genealogy Cain and Abel is missing we understand that of Abel to be that he has died and has no generation to be counted from him, but Cain was still alive and was skipped and Seth was mentioned.  One clear indication from this scripture is that Adam brought forth children after his own likeness. Seth was described to be...

The Feast day of Epiphany

Image
  The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world. (John 1:29|KJV- In the feast day of Epiphany, Christian people everywhere behold the true identity of Jesus Christ as the saviour of the whole world. Though we knew Him as a babe born to Mary and Joseph but as we watch Him grew, we began to see the manifestation of God in Him. The term Epiphany means manifestation or revealing; the feast day captures 3 great occasions in the bible where Jesus was revealed to the Gentiles (Visit of the Magi, Matt. 2:1-12), where He was revealed to Israel (His Baptism at River Jordan, John 1:29-34) and where He was revealed to the entire world at the wedding feast in Cana. The 3 wise men saw His star from the east and travel all the way to worship Him. They represented we the gentiles, we all became Christians today because we heard the gospel that was brought to us by the white men, and it is only the wise among us that heard ...

The Model of Cain

Image
  For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another. Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him ? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous. (1 John 3:11-12|KJV- It is the law of God that we should love the Lord our God with all our heart and with all our strength, secondly is that we should love our neighbors just as ourselves. This is the model of Christ.  Cain took from his father the devil which Apostle John in our passage described as the wicked one. He claimed Abel to be his brother and neighbor but lacked the brotherly love that was preached from the beginning.  In chapter 4 of Genesis, he appeared before the Lord with Abel to offer sacrifice, but due to the fact that He is of that wicked one, his sacrifice was rejected but Abel's own was accepted because he is of the righteous one. This is to teach us of two categories of persons in Church of Jesus Christ, the ...

THE LOVE OF GOD

Image
  The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen. (2 Corinthians 13:14|KJV- The Love of God is God's compassion for mankind, He loved the world and all that is in it and sent His son Jesus Christ to salvage it from destruction.  How can we measure the love of God? But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life. And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement. (Romans 5:8-11|KJV- The love of God is not something we can measure or say, He loved us ahead of time, before we became sinners and while we were yet sinners He loves us and died for our sake. His love demonstrated...

The Grace of Jesus Christ

Image
 Grace is God's remedy for sin; through the disobedience of one man Adam, sin and death was attributed to all men but through the obedience of another man Jesus Christ, Grace reign through righteousness to eternal life.  Who is the Author of Grace? The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen. (2 Corinthians 13:14|KJV- Grace is an attribute of our Lord Jesus Christ. His obedience to die on the cross made Him the Lord of Grace; through grace He has saved us from the condemnation of Adam; we did not do anything to merit it, it is a pure gift that proceeds from the cross. His obedience earned us the grace to live and die. How can we be part of His Grace? Just as the scripture says, grace is God's free gift of eternal life to all that believe, there is nothing in us to make us qualify for His grace but He already qualified us by the cross; it is Him that works in us to make us willing to do and to obey Him. No ...

RAPTURE WATCH

Image
  Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning: Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping. And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch. (Mark 13:35-37|KJV- I have encountered alot of Christian people who told me that there is nothing scriptural about the Rapture. They deny in totality the second coming of Jesus Christ which is even believed among the Muslim and so many other faith.  What is Rapture? Rapture is the end of this present age: it is a day when God's grace will be taken away from the earth given room for the antichrist to take over. Rapture will mark the end of salvation for the gentile believers and the return of the gospel to the Jews for their own salvation.  Rapture is the catching away of believers in Christ Jesus both dead and alive to meet with the Lord in the cloud. When will Rapture take place? But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of h...

THE DAY OF VENGEANCE

Image
 The day of Vengeance of our God is the second phase of Jesus ministry as we saw from our text in isaiah 61:1-2. The acceptable year of the Lord will end upon Rapture and immediately the saints of God are taken out of this wicked world, the day of vengeance of our God will begin. That day will begin with the revelation of the antichrist who will be given power to afflict the earth and its inhabitants for a period of three and half years. When once, the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are: Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence,, and thou hast taught in our streets. But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the pr...
