Hi, here is a new message titled
KNOWLEDGE


I was looking and searching for knowledge around the world. Knowledge that will explain why things happens the way they happen. Knowledge that will answer the questions below. For example, I was searching for answers to the following questions.
1)[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]Why is the race of life not for the strong or for the weak or for the intelligent or for the dull or for the wise or for the unwise but for all?
2)[FONT=&quot] [/FONT] Why are so many young people dying today than before?
3)[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]Why are some people working hard but cannot prosper while others don’t work hard but they prosper?
4)[FONT=&quot] [/FONT] Why are the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer?
5)[FONT=&quot] [/FONT] Why are some wicked people living so long?
I asked so many questions and the ones above are just some of them. I knew that there must be answers to these questions. So I search for answers to these questions around the world but the world was unable to provide me with the answers.
So I knocked at the gate of heaven and the Almighty Father opened the gate. I was surprised and I asked ‘Father, where are all the angels that you are the one to open the gate for me?’ And He said “Because you are my son and I will do anything for you. I have given you the keys of heaven”. He asked me “Son what have you come here to do?” I said ‘Father, I’m here to seek for knowledge’. Immediately, I found myself opening the doors of heaven. As I opened, I saw people saying “GOD is perfect, GOD is peace, GOD is so merciful, GOD is riches, GOD is life, GOD is light, GOD is knowledge, GOD is love and GOD is the perfect solution to all problems. On their faces, I saw perfect happiness and the place was a perfect beauty and marvelous.
Immediately after I saw these, I found myself again with the Father. He asked me “Son what can I do for you?” I answered ‘Father, open the spiritual eyes, ears and the mind of the person reading this message or else he/she will not understand’. As I turn to go away, the Father called me and gave me a book and said “Here I am. Take, this is what you are looking for”.
Immediately, I found myself on earth and in my hands, I was holding the HOLY BIBLE. I opened and I read John 1:1-5. It says “In the beginning was the Word, the Word was with GOD, and the Word was GOD. He was in the beginning with GOD; all things were made through Him, and without Him was not anything made that was made. In Him was life and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it”.
Oh my dear, the Word of GOD is knowledge and it is GOD Himself. It is the greatest knowledge which I was looking and searching for. This knowledge has answered all my questions. Not only that it answered all my questions but it continues to make me ask new questions and provide me with the answers to the questions. I now see and understand why JESUS said my people are dying because of lack of knowledge.
Those who have eyes, let them see; those who have ears, let them hear and those who have brain, let them understand.
GOD is knowledge and never you fail to go to Him and get this knowledge because it is life; and those who lack it die because of the lack of it.
Give GOD thanks and praises for He is life.
Thanks,
T.M.Pelekeh.

God is knowledge and life. To live, we must have this knowledge.

1)Why is the race of life not for the strong or for the weak or for the intelligent or for the dull or for the wise or for the unwise but for all?
2) Why are so many young people dying today than before?
3)Why are some people working hard but cannot prosper while others don’t work hard but they prosper?
4) Why are the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer?
5) Why are some wicked people living so long?

1) Good question, I'll think of a worthy response.
2) There is a larger population of humans occupying our planet than before. Thus, more people are dying in general. At the same time, more people are being born. However, as medicine and technology improve, we are seeing less and less deaths as a percentage now than ever before.
3) Luck. Some people get lucky, others do not. Some people choose the right field to work in at the right time. Some people invest with the right companies. Others have large personal or financial setbacks. All you can really do is be optimistic and work your hardest with the opportunities that are presented to. Never take anything for granted.
4) This is a question for an economist (which luckily, I have a minor in). Wealth distribution has to do entirely with the socio-economic systems of the country. A side effects of capitalism are large wealth gaps between the rich and the poor. The more 'perfect' the capitalist system, the larger the wealth gap (there were some pure capitalist countries in Africa in which the top 1% owned 70% of the wealth). The wealth gap will only get worse in our country. Why? Because money makes more money. Money creates political power. With political power, wealthy people can force legislature through our government that will directly support their gains. For example, they can get rid of environmental protection agencies, decrease capital gains taxes, decrease regulation, promote tax cuts for large corporations, etc. Best of all, they have the ability to fund numerous media campaigns to launch their interests on the backs of ordinary people.
5) Why do the good die young? Why do the Wicked live on? Maybe there is a cosmic justice. Maybe there isn't. One of these believes is conducive to a fair justice system in this life, the other is not. If one was more inclined to believe that the cosmos is indifferent to the actions of beings within this life, one would be more inclined to pursue fairness and justice; to reward those who do good, and punish those who commit wicked acts. On the contrary, if there was cosmic justice, would one not be so inclined to be a bit more lax upon crossing an act of wickedness? After all, said wicked people would be condemned to an eternity of suffering; a much greater punishment that could ever compare to one while he or she is still alive. If this were the case, should we not spend our time in this life worrying about our own judgement rather seeking to punish another's mortal acts? We very seldom analyze our own beliefs, nor do we think of the consequences of such beliefs.
