TRINITY OF THE GODHEAD REVEALED IN THE BAPTISM OF CHRIST

Text:  Luke 3:21-22 

WEDNESDAY MAY 17th 

Key Verse: Matthew 3:16-17 And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him and was the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him:
In the baptism of Jesus Christ, we see the Trinity of the Godhead clearly revealed. There is something to learn from the above verses, the Father was in heaven and the Holy Ghost descended in the shape of a dove from heaven and miraculously rested on Jesus. Note the following: Jesus was in human shape; Holy Ghost was in dove shape. The Father was in His power in Heaven. Can we say the Holy Spirit is a dove? No. He is God! What about Jesus that took the body of a man? Was Jesus a man? Who is He? He is God! God can take any shape He desires to fulfill a purpose that is in His heart. So, even though Jesus took the shape of a man, He was actually God. Jesus assumed the dual personality of God-man. It is a unique miracle! As man, He was lower than God the Father, but as God, He was equal with the Father. 
John 14:28 Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved Me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for My, Father is greater than I. 
In the above Scripture, Jesus showed that the Father was greater than Him because He had taken the form of a servant (a man). As a man, Jesus became a messenger. As a Son, He was doing the will of His Father. For this reason, His Father was greater than Him, not in His form as God but in His form as a man on earth. It is in this regard that Jesus said in the following verse, “I came from My Father and I am going to My Father.” John 16:28 I came forth from the Father, and Am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go to the Father. Jesus was saying in essence, “I left My Father to come into the world and took on human form, but now I am going back to My Father.” This again shows clearly that Jesus is different from the Father.

Thought for the day: Jesus assumed the dual personality of God-man. 

Song for the day: Everlasting Father, Everlasting Son, Immortal Holy Spirit…

Bible reading for the day: 2 Kings 18-19; John 6:22-44

Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern Text: Mark 16: 17 – 20 Wednesday May 8th Key verse: Obadiah 17 “Upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.” God has prepared to direct us on holy service unto Himself. He tells us when the lives and services of people are corrupt because from the heart of men proceed the works they do. When people are righteous and holy, their service is also righteous and holy. Hence, the word says, make the people holy then their service will be holy, so if you accept to live a life of holiness, then the fruit of your service will be holy. So, it is very important to accept the life of holiness because the God that made you is holy; He will give you grace to be holy. You just make up your mind to be holy. Do not accept that no man can be holy; then Jesus came for nothing, Jes...

God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider  Sunday May 12th Text: Jeremiah 3: 15 – 17 Key verse: Ezekiel 33: 11 Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel.  Receive the word that will change you, restore you, reestablish you and give you back the hope of eternal life. Come back! The Lord is pleading. Can you see the effort of God in your life? And can you see madness in your life; resisting every effort God is making. God is calling you. Retrace your ways. Follow the good old way. Go and confess those things, do not keep them. Your problem is, you want to serve God but you have not confessed your sins openly because of shame, fear and  pride which shall be dissolved in hell. That is where your problem is. Yes, you wa...
