For thousands of years humanity has longed for a truth, revelation, or knowledge that explains the unity of God behind all mystical experiences, previous revelations, and religions of the world, and the truth behind the universe (science). There have been mystical explanations of God from those claiming they have experienced the truth by direct contact with Spirit. There are also those who have founded great religions of the world. However, a great confusion still reigns among spiritualists, religions of the world, and the many different branches within each religion. If you study this Book carefully, with a sincere mind and an Open Heart, it will be revealed to you that the major religions on earth are not contradictory and separated at all. In fact they are complementary and were sent to earth systematically by One God. When this is understood, the Path to Salvation (Eternal Divine Path) is known This book is the main writing of Maitreya of the Mission of Maitreya: www.maitreya.org

The End of Man Power emanating from the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ broke the bands of physical death. The sacrifice overcame the power of death. This ushered in the resurrection of all. Adams’ sin was forgiven. The power of the atonement is for the resurrection only and it restores all men again to the presence of God. The atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ was an extra assignment. The original assignment was to teach man how to return to God. God had said; we will prove them herewith to see if they would do all things which the Lord their God commanded them. Jesus Christ was chosen as the master teacher, the ambassador of God, to teach man on the earth. Jesus Christ was to teach man to qualify himself to obey God’s command.
Marvellous Mothers’ Mentality, Methods and Tactics outlines respectable mothers’ determination to add value to the lives of their child when no one else would. Any woman who conceives and bears a child that grow up to be a VIP is favoured by God of Israel the maker of the universe. Samuel’s mother, Hannah and Lemuel’s mother got God’s support to become the queen-mothers of their generation. They partnered with God to provide members of their generation. They offered prayers that God considered good enough to answer as they requested. Lois packaged her daughter, Eunice who in turn packaged her son, Timothy who became suitable to serve alongside Paul as apostle to the Gentiles. After Mary played her God-assigned role to conceive, bear and nurture Jesus into adulthood, she went a step further to urge Jesus to perform His miracle ever. John 2:1-11 can be said to mean that she gave Jesus the confidence to perform His first miracle.
Much as Josephs older siblings must have been happy that God used him to save them and their families from dying of starvation during the famine of their generation, there is no doubt that they lived the rest of their lives with regret that they had made attempt on Josephs life earlier. No one is usually happy to have to depend on his or her enemy for survival at any point in time. Many of us are merely enduring the help and support we live on because we lack the preferred alternative. Most of mans sources of joy have their allied regrets that he has to endure in order to enjoy the benefits in a sane manner.
There is an inevitable running battle between natives and strangers that several cases in the Holy Scriptures lend credence to. The perennial politics and hiccups of managing migration by nations have spurred this discourse that all and sundry should be knowledgeable about. Herein is useful information for border agencies, migrants, their relatives, and even parents who are based back home. It would assist counselors to help potential migrants across the globe. The role of God in the unending conflict between nations migrant managers and migrants is highlighted here. Parents should read to help them guide their children about issues that are bound to arise as a result of living in a foreign land.
The short study is aimed initially at students of the Bible and then to any Christian who has intent on understanding identity in Jesus Christ as opposed to earning our way to gain the favour of God. This short work aims to clarify God's role and your role in your salvation. God's hand of grace stretches toward humanity, but will not overrule humanity's freewill to call on God and reach out to God for salvation.
Do you have Questions for God? Contained in this book are some justifications and benefits of your God-given right to ask Him salient questions, ones that would bring about a resounding and rewarding change to your life if you live accordingly. God is eagerly waiting to give answers that will guide you to fulfill your purpose and let you enjoy a glorious end. Asking God questions helps man avoid or minimize pains and agonies in his journey through life. If Isaac had confirmed that God meant Jacob to be greater than Esau, he might not have considered giving the treasured generational blessing to Esau rather than to Jacob, because of the game meat that Esau provided for his eating pleasure. When Mary asked the angel Gabriel how she could give birth to a child when she was still a virgin, she was not blamed. She received an appropriate answer. God's answer to your questions adds enduring quality to your life. Conversely, failure to ask questions leads to mediocrity because of lack of knowledge. God has the best answer to whatever clarifications you need.

The belief that every physical experience has a spiritual undertone reveals that everything is stage-managed in life. Long before Josiah was born, God sent a young prophet from Judah to make it know to King Jeroboam of Israel. And indeed, Josiah lived nearly 257 years later to accomplish the purpose of God. This means that God stage-managed to ensure that Josiah lived to accomplish His assigned purpose. Queen Esther stage-managed her husband, the Emperor, to get rid of Haman the Amalekite, the preserved the lives of her fellow Jews as well as made Mordecai the Prime Minister of the Persian Empire at the expense of Haman. Naomi and Ruth stage-managed Boaz to marry Ruth so that Boaz would continually provide for them. God stage-managed to ensure the Israelites left the Egyptian captivity with enormous wealth. Check out the desirability or otherwise of stage-management of events of life.

The ungodly is robbed of innumerable blessings and fall victim of nearly everything by the end of their lifetime if they do not repent. Most of them realise too late that they are had been their own greatest enemies while they remained ungodly. The greatest ungodly are those who do not regard God appropriately for whatever reasons. While Godliness gladdens, ungodliness grieves greatly. The undoing of the ungodly reminds mankind of the need to abhor ungodliness appropriately.
God’s desire for every child of His is an intimate relationship. Our Creator loves to relate to us every day in all matters as we trudge along the dark alleyways of life, holding our hands firmly in His big hand. The essence of a walk with God is the divine guidance we get from Him from time to time, helping us in the process to align ourselves with His perfect will for us. But walking with God is not just a walk in the park. It comes with some challenges, especially for the end-time generations. Nevertheless, these challenges are not insurmountable. We can overcome them by drawing inspiration from the experiences of great men and women of faith in the Bible who walked with God successfully. This book is a great resource for every child of God who wants to walk with God in the journey of life. I urge every reader to read the book prayerfully, and I believe fervently that the Lord will empower you with the grace and power to have a successful walk with him in Jesus' name. Amen.

This is the first of a two part series which outlines the real reasons rulers would not readily subscribe to giving up their positional power, authority and relevance. Only those who are honest and had occupied such positions would understand the plight of the acclaimed bad ruler whom citizens insist must quit. It is one of the most difficult things for the human nature to comprehend and agree to implement at his expense. All those clamouring for the replacement of the ruler know their heart-hidden reasons, above the tenable reasons they give and defend stoutly, for such insistence. Rather than rubbish them, rulers under pressure to quit or who have even quit should be pitied because they are living a nightmare every minute they spend outside the throne which they once enjoyed. Most times, ousted rulers feel better dead than alive to adjust to regular lifestyle in the same domain in which they once ruled and reigned. Enjoy a happy reading.
From the Pharaohs to Fanon, Dictionary of African Biography provides a comprehensive overview of the lives of the men and women who shaped Africa's history. Unprecedented in scale, DAB covers the whole continent from Tunisia to South Africa, from Sierra Leone to Somalia. It also encompasses the full scope of history from Queen Hatsheput of Egypt (1490-1468 BC) and Hannibal, the military commander and strategist of Carthage (243-183 BC), to Kwame Nkrumah of Ghana (1909-1972), Miriam Makeba and Nelson Mandela of South Africa (1918 -).
There have been all sorts of relatives since the time of Cain and Abel, Joseph and his elder brothers, Laban against Jacob as well as Esau and Jacob. As things turned out, David wished his nephews, the sons of Zeruiah, one of his sisters, had not joined his army. They had a lusty craving for violence without reverence for God and immediate reality, whereas David reverenced God above anything else. You and I need God to shield us from the troubles that relatives constitute. Some are more of a curse than a blessing.
Since the start of the church, from the beginning of creation, Blacks and dark-skinned people have been involved in its spiritual, physical, theological, and doctrinal development. Who were and are the people involved in its development, and in what ways did they contribute? If Africans were involved in the Church’s development from the beginning, why is Africa not mentioned in the Bible? Blacks in the Annals of Church History examines the roles that Blacks and dark-skinned people played in the formation, development, and growth of the Church—both the church in the wilderness and that birthed by Jesus Christ of Nazareth when His side was pierced and blood and water flowed from Him. From Adam and Eve through the life of Jesus and on into modern times, black and dark-skinned people have formed the foundation of the church, and the vital parts they have played should be recognized. Uplifting and informative, this Bible study explores the contributions of black and dark-skinned people to the Church over the course of its history.
Some say survival, actually personal survival is the first law of life. It is natural to strive for survival under any circumstance and God have nothing against it. Jesus commended the acclaimed shrewd manager whose story He told in Luke 16:1-9. God expects that we use our earthly life to secure eternal bliss through living by unwavering faith in Him. The mention of Tamar, Judahs daughter-in-law, Rahab the Jericho harlot turned member of the commonwealth of Gods chosen people, Israel and Ruth, a Moabitess among the matriarchs of mankinds Messiah, teaches that adopting personal survival strategies is acceptable as long as they are done with faith in God.
Science, in the present state of our scientific knowledge, including the most advanced, can support our faith in order to make the texts not only understandable, but also interesting and often beneficial for our reflection or our interior life. This systematic alliance between faith and science is one of the most innovative aspects of the book, which is highlighted by its title. Thus, on a general level, history, geography, archaeology, linguistics, paleoanthropology, and other disciplines are now able to retrace the history of ancient palestine over a long period of time. Retracing by the same token, the history of the small territory of canaan that the hebrews conquered under the leadership of moses and then, joshua. You will discover egypt, master of the entire near east for more than a thousand years, and the invasions of the sea peoples who ravaged the land of canaan shortly before its conquest by joshua, as well as the hittites and the invasion of egypt by the hyksos. If we place ourselves at the more modest level of the protagonists of the profane or sacred stories that are told in this volume 1, “the time of the patriarchs,” science will teach us a lot about their habits, their fears, and their joys. Texts found in the remains of the city-state of nuzi will shed light on the lifestyle of these nomadic shepherds. Finally, I propose to use the theories of information and communication, in a totally new way, as two scientific tools at the service of the bible. We will consider the sacred text as containing a series of “messages” (in the sense of telecommunications) that god addresses to us through time and space. The senders of these messages are characters “inspired” by god (the patriarchs in this volume 1). These messages reach our mailbox (either e-mail or brain). Communication theory and habits will dictate our first action: authenticate the sender so that he doesn’t send spam or bugs! You will discover how to authenticate abraham through history and plate tectonics, and jacob through paleoclimatology and hieroglyphic inscriptions. Geophysics, including paleoclimatology, plate tectonics, volcanology, and seismology, makes it possible to convert facts tainted with divine wonder to simple manifestations of the earth’s moods, which can often be dated, and which make it possible to take these great patriarchs out of the mythical fog in which our ignorance has tended to confine them.
With fervent zeal for purity, fear of temptations, fear of persecution, and a deep dread for materialistic lifestyles, many honest but ill-informed Christians are embracing poverty and mediocrity and living below God’s financial plans for His people. Others, determined to be rich at all cost, are ignoring strong principles of the Bible and end up trading the fear of the Lord for material prosperity. A third school of thought tries to avoid controversies by staying away from the subject of money and claiming that it is not important. Consequently, we have a divided church with contradicting views that is slowing down the progress of God’s work. Believers all around the world want to make significant financial contributions towards great causes in support of orphans, widows, churches, and other noble initiatives but end up praying for the Lord to send help through other people because they themselves are financially weak. "God’s Will for Your Earthly Riches" will show you that you can have earthly riches without becoming materialistic and that you can desire and create material wealth without falling from the faith. This book will show you why God wants you to make money —more money than you will ever need in your lifetime
Digging for Gold comes to fill the need to teach sound and balanced biblical truths. Emmanuel Elendu draws from his years in ministry and professional practices to lead groups and training classes. Elendu uses the question model in his study designs. The book deals with topical and contemporary issues to address simple but practical Christian living. Digging for Gold serves as a resource for Christian workers. The stories and styles of presentation meet students at a crossroads while leading to the truth and the life. When you invest in stocks and bonds, you expect a good return on investment (with promising market dynamics). As you study with Digging for Gold, the return on your investment will be worth something more than gold.
The first all-encompassing book on Israel’s foreign policy and the diplomatic history of the Jewish people, The Star and the Scepter retraces and explains the interactions of Jews with other nations from the ancient kingdoms of Israel to modernity. Starting with the Hebrew Bible, Emmanuel Navon argues that one cannot grasp Israel’s interactions with the world without understanding how Judaism’s founding document has shaped the Jewish psyche. He sheds light on the people of Israel’s foreign policy through the ages: the ancient kingdoms of Israel, Jewish diasporas in Europe from the Middle Ages to the emancipation, the emerging nineteenth-century Zionist movement, and Zionist diplomacy following World War I and surrounding World War II. Navon elucidates Israel’s foreign policy from the birth of the state in 1948 to our days: the dilemmas and choices at the beginning of the Cold War; Israel’s attempts to establish periphery alliances; the Arab-Israeli conflict; Israel’s relations with Europe, the United States, Russia, Asia, Africa, Latin America, the United Nations, and the Jewish diasporas; and how twenty-first-century energy geopolitics is transforming Israel’s foreign relations today. Navon’s analysis is rooted in two central ideas, represented by the Star of David (faith) and the scepter (political power). First, he contends that the interactions of Jews with the world have always been best served by combining faith with pragmatism. Second, Navon shows how the state of Israel owes its diplomatic achievements to national assertiveness and hard power—not only military strength but economic prowess and technological innovation. Demonstrating that diplomacy is a balancing act between ideals and realpolitik, The Star and the Scepter draws aspirational and pragmatic lessons from Israel’s exceptional diplomatic history.

Why Pastors Act Strangely exemplified by Moses Double Standard Dealership Style reveals that Men of Gods mistakes are usually multi-dimensional. There is what we can call Mans Monumental Monstrous Metamorphosis practiced it is that the job of leading the Israelites that Moses rejected earlier, he was no longer eager to give up and be replaced by Korah who volunteered to do so. These do not add up. There is also the subject of Men of Gods Monstrous Mindset, Mannerisms, Methods and Tactics (MGMMMT). It is part of Mans Mind Mutilating Manners and Manliness. Moses was bold and courageous to use his God-given privilege as he deemed fit and to the best of his interest and that of his loved ones. Maybe, God gave His designated representatives in any generation that privilege because fundamentally, He had meant man to take charge of the earth on His behalf as long as man obeyed Him. If so, then Moses was still in order as far as God was concerned.

The Weight of Womanhood highlights the incomprehensible avoidable pressures put on women by societal expectations, male folks and sometimes women themselves. There is this culture of taking women for granted or taking advantage of women. Laban used his two daughters to swindle his nephew, Jacob, the Philistine Kings, and high officials used Delilah against Israelite leader, Samson who had become a pain in the ass for the Philistines’ leadership. King Saul attempted to use his daughters rather than any of his sons to kill David. Certain cultures imply that one of the worst things a woman can do is to conceive and bear a girlchild. They turn a blind eye to the murder of millions of growing girlchild in the womb on yearly basis. Moses’ older sister, Miriam resented and antagonized his wife to the extent that God was incensed to punish Miriam. King Rehoboam robbed his eldest son of his right because he preferred one of his stepmothers to the eldest son’s mother. When Samson’s mother claimed that an angel had visited her to talk about the imminent conception and birth of Samson, his father did not believe her. She had to ask God to resend His angel to attest to her claim before Samson’s father believed her. Most men take women’s gynecological and maternal exigencies for granted. Once Hannah did not conceive and bear him a child quickly, though he was supposed to love her very much, Elkanah opted for a second wife, Peninnah who made life miserable for Hannah once she bore Elkanah children while Hannah remained barren. He did not do anything to restrain Peninnah from worsening Hannah’s miseries.
These nine masterful readings of the Talmud by the renowned French Jewish philosopher translate Jewish thought into the language of modern times. One of the major continental philosophers of the twentieth century, Emmanuel Levinas was also an important Talmudic commentator. Between 1963 and 1975, he delivered an enlightening and influential series of commentaries at the annual Talmudic colloquia of a group of French Jewish intellectuals in Paris. In this collection, Levinas applies a hermeneutic that simultaneously allows the classic Jewish texts to shed light on contemporary problems and lets modern problems illuminate the texts. Besides being quintessential illustrations of the art of reading, the essays express the deeply ethical vision of the human condition that makes Levinas one of the most important thinkers of our time.
What is your perspective in this regard?.... I did not ask for this life, or to live. Yet my life is being orchestrated. I had no say in my existence. Yet I'm being told what I must do. Why does my conscience trouble me so when I do wrong, and why does life keep making these demands on me, asking of me so many confounded questions? trying to beat me into a shape of a kind I know not; and do not want; punishing me when I refuse to be molded. Yet when I cry out there is only empty space, no one comes to my rescue.
Daddy and Mummy are the first teachers, mentors, and examples available for children to take after. As a result, children are naturally tempted to become addicted to whatever they see their parents do in their childhood and formative years. However, because all humans have their inevitable and inalienable weaknesses, it is punitive for children to imbibe the curious characters and conduct of parents because it would affect the children and, in turn, their own children, as well as the society in general. It is profitable to identify and adopt the commendable character and conduct of parents, as well as abhor and avoid the curious character and conduct of parents.
Today the true gospel is lost completely. The children of God worldwide are being robbed of their money and of the truth and the knowledge of their priestly position in Christ in this era of grace (free gift) that we operate in by televangelists and prosperity preachers, who have sealed their hearts permanently from the love of God and the truth. God is in the business today of exposing this great evil and bringing back his people on the right track. He is setting aside the highly educated doctors and professors of junk for the lowly and weak to this purpose. In the great outcry, you will find Gods response to key questions such as sowing of seeds, tithes, prosperity, salvation, and lot more in this era.
