Excerpt:Beyond the scene

Sovereignty of God in our salvation

Does one's mind just respond to salvation after hearing the message?
What causes Conviction in the mind of a sinner?
Can he just get born-again of his own accord?
Who is the agent responsible for conviction in one's mind?

Salvation is strictly God's affair, Romans9.

Excerpt : Relationships and Sex

During a counseling session with a man, he said that there is no need for his wife to know about his past; moreover he has a child from another woman. Response When you are married, you ceased from being two flesh, two minds, but one flesh and one mind. It is evil if you have such secret and you did not tell your wife, as much as it is hurtful you will hurt yourself the more if you do not tell her, only if you are not a Christian. It is advantageous to discuss it so that you can free your mind from the guilt of your past. There is a Yoruba adage “You do not hide from the person that will bury you”. She is your wife, you are not meant to keep things from her. You do not expect her not to be angry because you have taken a long time to tell her such trivial matter. You do not have a choice now than to tell her, whatever the response. Do not forget that she may have her own fears which may include the position her own children in the family, all she has worked for, properties and will,

Does God control everything

 God is sovereign in all things, He created heaven and earth, He made all things, He knows all things, He is the Supreme God and the source of all power and authority. He is the Alpha and Omega.

God works not just some things, but all things according to the counsel of His own will, Eph1:11.All things work together for our good does not mean that God is behind the bad situation but God does permi

Our choices

 God’s hands are opened so wide for us to embrace in salvation,which is why the word "RECKLESS" was used to describe His love to humanity.    He is sovereign, and He is the creator, but does not mean He controls our affairs, He gave us freewill ability to make our own choices. Some choices we make have  blinded us from seeing God’s essence in our existence. God’s foreknowledge means He knows everything that will happen now, tomorrow and ever, but note He does not control our choices.  The scriptures describe how God knows us even right Jeremiah1:5 “Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you, before you were born, I set you apart, and I appointed you as a prophet to the nations”.  Luke12:7 “even the hairs of your head are all numbered”.  God did not create a robotic man with artificial intelligence.The man God created has a freewill and can make choices. This was responsible for Eve’s decision. If God has control over our choices, that means we do not have freewill and we can
