Sitting in God's Chair, would you give humanity a second chance?

By -

 If given the chance to sit in God’s chair, would you grant humanity a second chance? Could you forgive our transgressions and choose to create a new world? Or would you curse human beings and walk away?

This question resonates deeply, much like asking a mother whose son has chosen a path of terrorism if she would willingly bear another child. The pain of seeing our own flesh and blood rebel against us, rejecting the love and nurturing we’ve provided, is a sorrow almost too great to bear.

In this world, the righteous suffer while the wicked prosper. The cry of the innocent goes unheard, and the beauty that once honored life is destroyed or being destroyed. It’s tempting to wonder what God thinks of us, how He views our rebellion and ingratitude. Have we become so entrenched in our sin that we’ve forced God to turn away from us? The thought is both haunting and sobering.

As I ponder the state of humanity, I am met with a mix of emotions – sorrow, disappointment, and frustration. Despite our potential for good, we have consistently demonstrated a capacity for violence, greed, and immorality. We have ravaged the environment, waged wars, and exploited the vulnerable. It’s astounding that we can simultaneously possess the capacity for love, compassion, and kindness, yet choose to perpetuate harm and suffering.

The irony is stark when we consider the sacrifices made by Jesus, who embodied love and forgiveness in the face of unimaginable cruelty. His example stands in stark contrast to our own behavior, where we often prioritize self-interest over the well-being of others and the planet.

The Bible reminds us that Jesus was beaten beyond recognition, yet he still chose to forgive and plead for our forgiveness. In the face of such grace, can we not strive to do better? Can we not learn from our mistakes and work towards a future where love triumphs over hate, and compassion triumphs over greed?

The question Is not whether God will give us another chance, but whether we will give ourselves and each other another chance. Will we choose to love and forgive, or will we continue down the path of destruction? The choice is ours, and the consequences will be ours to bear.

I believe it’s essential to put ourselves in someone else’s shoes to truly understand their experiences. As the saying goes, ‘The greatest is the one who maintains love for human beings after all the evil they have done.’

Jesus exemplified this perfectly, forgiving humanity and pleading with God to do the same, even after enduring unimaginable suffering. As the Bible records in Isaiah, Jesus was beaten beyond human recognition, yet His love remained unwavering.

If God still chooses to love and sustain us after all our evil deeds, shouldn’t we strive to love and honor Him in return?

The Bitter Truth: Death respects no one.

 The truth is, we're all going to become food for worms someday. This is the fate for everyone regardless of rank or honor. A lot of people have seemed to forget that we all have the same fate which is death. You find them killing as if they’ll never die, they beat, torture and oppress as if they own life.  I’ve written this article, basing on the notorious thief, murderer and robber called Sobi. This was a guy who created terror amongst innocent people and boasted in it. He caused suffering and pain, stealing, and killing with impunity for almost thirty years. All because of a paper called money. But like they say, “he who kills by the sword, dies by the sword”, Sobi died by the sword, killed in a manner that’s so inhuman. He was cut on his throat like a goat. A man who boasted in the wrongs that he did was found in cold blood like some kind of a street dog. The day he died, is when the nation knew that he even had a family that he loved. The late Prince Paul Kafeero said in his s

THE DECEPTION OF MEN IN SUITS

Growing up, I was taught to beware of individuals with unconventional appearances, such as tattoos, dreadlocks, and nonconformist hairstyles. They were labeled as dangerous and criminal-minded. However, as I matured, I realized that the genuine threat was not those who looked different, but those who wore suits and concealed their true intentions. My teacher once told me that my appearance would hinder my success, that I resembled a thug. Yet, after witnessing the cruelty and oppression perpetrated by men in suits, I am proud to embody the qualities they despise. Beneath their suits, they harbor beasts and monsters, exploiting their power to loot, steal, and rob from the vulnerable. Lucky Dube astutely observed, “They initiate wars at will, some for entertainment and personal glory, sacrificing innocent lives for their wrongdoings.” Men in suits are masters of excuses, utilizing their influence to justify their atrocities. Through personal experiences, I have learned to distrust them.

Every kiss feels like a new beginning.

I know we've been through our fair share of struggles and disagreements. We've argued and quarreled time and time again, but despite all of that, my love for you remains unwavering. I don't care about the past or the mistakes I've made; all that matters is the love I have for you, and the fact that you were the first person I ever loved. I know I've hurt you, and for that, I am truly sorry. My actions were thoughtless, and I broke your heart. But please know that my love for you is genuine, and it can't be changed by my mistakes or the challenges we've faced. I may not be perfect; I may be a little or more rough around the edges, but my heart belongs to you. My mind may wander, my eyes may stray, and my feet may take me on a different path, but my heart will always find its way back to you. The world may try to tear us apart, but our love is stronger than that. They may try to silence our laughter and our smiles, but we won't let them. If I were God, I w
