THEME: THE SUPREMACY OF THE CREATOR OVER PHILOSOPHY AND SCIENCE 

Blessed be the name of the Lord God Most High.  At His name, every knee bow—spirits and men, principalities and powers shake.  All creation bows and confesses Him as Lord, whether in humble acknowledgment and adoration or in desperate, furious, and violent denial, yet submission to His impregnable power and might.   All that bears the fact that He is their beginning and ending.  He is the Creator.  All things consist of Him.  That they exist by Him and for Him, and without Him there is nothing that is, that can be, or and that would be. 

Spirits knew from the beginning that they owe their existence and powers to Him.  How else could they have come into existence. If man and creation are merely products of evolution, what of angels, the sun, and moon?  Men struggle in defeat over the inexplicable, insufficient, non-fully substantiated evolution. Unbelieving philosophers and scientists have long ago realized that things they “discover” already existed. Their observations, discoveries, findings, and lessons in nature are not their creation. The search, discoveries, findings, lessons, theories, and principles all continue, and on increasing scale.  Is it not correct to say that discoveries are no creation. That suppose human nature and human life and creation as a whole are still in the process of evolutionary change, there must have been a beginning, whether by fortuitous chance, by an alchemy of chaotic motions, or by definite design.  

Now, if the end of evolutionary change is not in sight, unknown, then life itself is not definite.  It is and will be without direction. It will have no meaning.  Life will be but a chaotic mess, without faith and without hope. In that case, scientific discoveries would be without purpose, since all things will be in a Fulcrum of Uncertainties. Fortuitous evolutionary change is by definition out of man’s control.  Therefore, man’s effort to participate in the change process will be an uncertain adventure. 

And the Creator said, “I Am the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.” All things begin in Him, by Him and with Him.  They exist by Him, that is by His creative power which set them in motion.  They exist therefore for Him, and for the purpose for which He created them.  Departures therefrom constitute failure and death.  The truth is that no philosophy nor scientific theory has yet discovered the full cycle of evolutionary change, the end result and nature of things in evolutionary change.  Indeed, the philosophers and scientists cannot tell us the “end of the tunnel,” the end nature of creation. 

So therefore, I am content. Dear reader, I am content to believe and accept the Creator’s declaration, “I AM THE ALPHA AND OMEGA, THE BEGINNING AND THE ENDING….AND THE END”.  

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.  The same was in the beginning with God.  All things were made by Him; and without Him was not anything made that was made.  In Him was life; and the life was the light of men” (John 1: 1-4 KJV)  

“Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of His dear Son: In whom we have redemption through His blood, even the forgiveness of sins: Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: For by Him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by Him and for Him: And He is before all things, and by Him all things consist, and He is the head of the body, the Church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things He might have the preeminence. For it pleased the Father that in Him should all fullness dwell; And, having made peace through the blood of His cross, by Him to reconcile all things unto Himself; by Him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven” (Col. 1: 12-20 KJV). 

It is this mystery of God in creation via Christ—the special position of Christ in the reconciliation, salvation, healing, deliverance, redemption, and restoration of creation—that has been committed to the Church.  That is the spiritual foundation of mission and glory of the church. The Good News is the reconciliation, redemption, and restoration of creation through and by Christ Jesus.  

“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” (John 3: 16 KJV)  

To the Church is committed the vision and mission of reconciliation, salvation, redemption, restoration, re-creation and establishment of A New Man, A New Heaven and A New Earth through the man of mystery, even Jesus the Christ.  

“And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness:  God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.” (1st Timothy 3: 16 KJV) 

“How that by revelation He made known unto me the mystery”; (as I wrote afore in few words) (Ephesians 3: 3-12 KJV). 

As the Apostle Paul was once compelled to address the ignorance and unfaithfulness of the people of Israel (Romans 10), so are we being compelled by the abundant evidence of rejection and the “straying away” from God and Christ in the world. Even more concerning is the falling away from Christ and the Faith in the Church herself. 

Therefore, we call and appeal to the Church, particularly to her ministers saying: 

I. COME BACK TO JESUS CHRIST. 

II. BELIEVE ON THE LORD. 

III. BELIEVE THE SCRIPTURES. 

IV. REJOICE IN FAITH AND HOPE OF HIM—who is the Spirit, Power, and Glory of the church and who is with His people unto eternity. 

This appeal extends to the religious who are willing to believe in everything except the singular truth: that Christ is the only way and the only Name by which we are saved, redeemed, and restored. Only through Him can man enter the beauty and glory of the Divine One God and into eternal rest in the divine nature of the Eternal One God, Holy and Unchanging.  

We conclude by wrestling briefly with the deception and death of the atheist who knows not his/her beginning, what he/she is, what tomorrow is and holds.  What ending, what a tragedy, the spiritual blindness and foolishness of the dead and buried, shouting from the grave, “There is no God! Who can deliver but He who went to proclaim salvation and life to the dead that believe they might live!  It is only those who call upon His name JESUS THE CHRIST that can be saved.  All others are but sinking sand!!  

The philosopher who confronts life, its challenges and its prospects thereof, has no basis but the acts of men. He stands in the midst of acts and realities of nature—the air, the animals, the land, the water, and the sun and moon.  The philosopher may fall prey to the teasing and seduction of spirits.  But be it as it may, he has no power as of himself or for that matter the human race as a whole as such to work out the perfect end, maintain and sustain his vision of life and society.   The glory of man is but grass, short, often brutish. 

The scientist who bases his work on that which already exists does nothing but attempt to find and read meaning and purpose to “That Which Is”— the pre-existing creation, nature with its inherent laws, forces, and powers. The scientist merely uses the materials, forces, forms, and norms in nature in the attempt to explain the existing phenomena.  He is neither a creator nor the ultimate authority on truth and reality. 

Thus, the attempt by man to find, know, subdue, and use for benefit is but an expression or manifestation of the cultural mandate given to man created with a lower but similar nature and virtues of the Creator. (Gen. 1 :26-30). There is nothing new in nature; man’s creative force is but an expression and proof of his divine origin and character. 

We are not ashamed, therefore, to declare that Jesus Christ, Son of the Living God, is God, King, and Lord.  He is the Saviour, Redeemer, King, and Governor of Ghana.  The plans and works of any other spirit, principality, or power—of any system, dominion, kingdom, or throne— will never stand.  They have tried and fairly succeeded in overthrowing the Faithful Church in Europe and America.  They are at it in Ghana and Africa to subdue and divert the emerging glory of REDEEMED GHANA and AFRICA towards themselves and Satan.   

But the Faithful Church in Ghana and Africa will not fall to their treachery, deception, lies, lures, or tricks.  

OUR GOD REIGNS!!!
