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

Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All

God's blessing shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All   Monday 24th March Text: 1 Timothy 5: 19-22 Key verse: Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear. 1 Timothy 5:20 God wants you to avoid doing evil while saying you want to go to heaven. You may be a member of a worldly church and be saying, “It is my tribal church; if I leave them, they will be angry. I do not want them to be angry.” Is it God you want to make angry by your compromise? You will see the anger of God indeed. It is through the word that you perfect the people, and as a result, the Bible says, “Thou shalt not suffer sin upon your brother. Thou shall reprove him.” Your brother or sister has done a bad thing, and you do not bother. You leave them in their sins. They may do the same to other people. The Lord says, “Correct them.” Do not allow sin to be in them because sin will take them to hell. The Bible says, “Them that sin, rebuke befo...

For taking your time to study remain blessed. UNDERSTANDING ETERNITY WEDNESDAY MAY 10 TEXT: Psalm 90: 1 - 2 Key Verse: “The Lord is King forever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land Psalm 10:16 People that understand eternity are always careful. Eternity means forever and ever, it means ever-lasting, ever-living, never dying. Trillion upon trillion years, eternity is still on, in fact it is life without end. There are two extreme ends of eternity: The kingdom of God called third heaven where God the Father, God the son, God the Holy Ghost, twenty-four elders, saints of God that make heaven, holy angels of God, and entire host of heaven dwell now presently; Hell-fire, where Satan, demons, and sinners that have died in their sins are presently kept. God is the One that introduced eternity. He lives forever. It is not a choice, the One who created us is forever, hence you will live forever, but what matters is where you will live eternally. Remove God from the way, then t...
