  “ that you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God”  Colossians 1 : 10 NKJV Artificial intelligence overview has it that the rate of human knowledge growth is exponentially, transitioning from doubling every century to doubling every 13 months. Unfortunately due to digital technologies, internet of things (IoT), data capture, processing, and collaborative sharing, things made by the blessings of God are rubbing the people of God of the knowledge of God. Actually, the human minds embarked on wasteful walks, like robots, when the hearts become devoid of every good work and decreasing in the knowledge of God. Therefore, every home, assembly, and institution needs spiritual anchor on men with bended knees, like Apostle Paul, who will not cease to pray and ask for every believer’s worthy walks “ that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding ( Colo...

Many peace accords have been executed with the sacrifice of collateral on the altars of good human relations, without the embrace of a lasting peace. Even in a religious relationship with God, human sacrifices have failed to fully atone for the punishment of sin. The sacrifice of all things on earth or things in heaven, that are equally subject to the influence of the depravity of sin and unrighteousness, is not acceptable before God. Therefore, God offered His only begotten Son - Jesus Christ - for the redemption of humanity from the captivity of sin. Little wonder the scriptures declared a special beatitude on peacemakers, saying ‘Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God ’. Unlike the political ...
