Dear Brothers&Sisters in Christ

Shalom! And greetings to you in the matchless name of Our Lord Jesus Christ.

God's gifts for mankind are so awesomely amazing. As I turned to Him for the
subject matter that I can share with you all, the topic TECHNOLOGY came
across my mind. Today, we all  live in the age of technology where the
comfort of life can never be any better than at the click of the mouse,
where you can order meals, book your travel needs, shop on line and endless
list of things that technology has come to make our life so wonderful and
meaningful. God has given man the great wealth of intelligence to make
computers, both hardware and software, to enrich us with the state of the
art stuff that enhances our quality of life.To many, in fact every literate
person, information technology and computers has become the way of life so
much so that one feels handicapped and displaced  without it. I felt much
disturbed temporarily when my laptop backed up on me last month for 3 weeks
and you can fully understand me if you are totally dependant on this area of
technology.  But  the devil has the same access and steals the purpose of
what is intended by God to infiltrate, corrupt, destroy and pollute minds to
sin and do evil unto others. The great difference lies in the saving grace
of God. The Holy Spirit indwelling in us(1Cor 6:19) protects and empower us
to overcome these deadly sins and we are thankful He found us to inherit
eternal life. God's wisdom and guidance(Col 1:9) must be sought in all our
thoughts and deeds lest we go the opposite way..

How often have we painfully heard and read from the media of Bibles being
held up, confiscated, destroyed, burned etc that brought such hue and cry of
abuse in curbing our constitutional right to practice our own faith. This
particular instance, amongst many, brings us to understand why God's
thoughts and ways are higher than ours(Is55:8). For God did not give man the
know-how to design computers without reasons. Today, we need not have to
succumb to such unscrupulous persecution but we have the tools to achieve
our goals through information technology using thumbdrives, CD/DVD, laptops
etc. We now have solutions to reach intended parties especially the
unreached and spiritually hungry communities in remote areas and
hinterlands. Just imagine, almost instantly, sermon notes, teachings of
God's Word from great men of God, various versions of Bibles and
interpretations etc via internet, facebook, twitter, google  you name it,
from any part of the world can be easily accessed. Isn't this an amazing
revelation of God? Just imagine the tremendous impact on lives through these
means. Have you ever thought of blessing missionaries and missions
ministries who can be agents to teach someone who cannot afford  nor own a
Bible that through just one laptop, the Gospel and the truth(Jn8:32) and the
Kingdom  of God can be reached to unlimited masses in the remotest location
beyond borders.

Remain blessed and be a blessing to someone somewhere sometime.

To God Be The Glory!!!
