Christian Realities

4 What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him? Psalm 8:4 After creating everything, God wanted a special creature to have dominion over everything he had created, one who will be like him and express his image to other creatures. He called this special creature MAN.  The idea was that because he was invincible, MAN will become the visible representation of his true nature.  "And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth." Gen 1:26. But, it was as if God’s plan was thwarted, because we didn’t see Man having dominion over all things. Instead we saw that Man through his disobedience became subject to SIN and DEATH (Sin and death had dominion over Man).  At a particular time God regretted why he had created Man (because the Man of domini

A vine very black in colour  sprung forth from the middle of the Earth, it had eyes and a mouth with which it spoke. It boasted of its power and everyone that heard its voice fled, for it was very terrible.  The vine grew higher and larger, and in no time produced creeping branches that extended into the four corners of the Earth. The branches captured men, women and children of different nations of the Earth, twined around them placing twigs within the mouths of its captives.  The whole Earth was filled with this great vine, for there was no space it didn’t fill, and no man could withstand its power. Even the light of the sun was obstructed by the branches of the wicked vine. Something else wonderful happened, a seed shining as the sun came down from heaven and entered deep into the Earth.  The black vine felt threatened by it and extended some branches to kill the seed, but try as they might, they couldn’t come close because the light from the seed burnt and killed the branches of th

I somehow saw myself in a dark snowy world. The Lord and I were walking together. Are you ready? Yes Lord! But where are we going? The house of fire he replied.  I was kind of surprised, because I haven’t heard of such a house before. Although from the surroundings, it is expected that one could be frozen because of the cold, yet I felt warm close to the Lord.  We should climb this mountain to its top, there we will find the house of fire. The mountain he pointed to was made of snow and a bright furnace shinned on its top. Is that the house of fire? Yes, follow me, the Lord replied.  He took the lead, and steps appeared before him, with torches of fire spiraling around the mountain. I followed right behind as we climbed the spiral steps. Lord, I cannot continue, this vision, it doesn’t seem real. It’s as if I’m in control of the scripts. You should be the one in control not me.  I sat down in one of the steps unsure of the revelation (it was like a mind-game to me). But the Lord came c

The Wild Berries A young sheep craved so much for berries. The green pastures the Shepherd provided were not enough. It had heard of the delicious berries on the mountains where the wolves are. I can outwit the wolves he thought, let me get some delicious berries for myself. And so one day, he left the sheepfold and headed for the mountains. He saw a lot of delicious grapes and ate as much as he could, but they were poisonous. The wolves were very clever they had howled ‘Sweet berries on the mountains’ at night, their trap had worked. Yes, obviously a sheep heard it and there it was lying almost dead for their consumption, but before they could pounce on it. The Shepherd showed up, and with the aid of his staff discomfited the wolves. He placed the sheep on his shoulders and led it home. The wolves did not give up, they kept on howling ‘Sweet berries on the mountains'. The sheep heard and went again only to be rescued once more. The Shepherd's determination to save wa
