TEXT: JOHN 4:22-24
THURSDAY AUGUST 24TH
Key Verse: 1 John 5:7 “For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one”
The scripture begins with God. Genesis 1:1 “In the beginning God”. Who is God? Psalms 90:1-2 gives clear explanation about the existence of God: He is in existence “from everlasting to everlasting”. John 1:1 affirmed His existence in creation – “In the beginning was the Word, the Word was with God and the Word was God”. God is One Person in three and three Persons in One. How do we know God is One? The singular pronoun used for a person is used for God: He, Him, I, I AM. One God created man and woman. In Isaiah 42:5, 45:18 He is addressed as the LORD, Self-existent Person, Jehovah, there is none else.
Jesus stressed that He is God, One Lord. In Isaiah 9:6 He was given to the world and bore the title Son for redemption purpose, John 1:14 He became flesh and dwelt among men, Proverb 8:30-31 He was by the Father, brought up with the Father…and His delights was with the sons of men. He came and dwelt among men. In John 4:22-24 Jesus said God is Spirit and those who serve Him… “Him” is singular pronoun. God is Three Persons in One; The plural pronoun, “us” used for God in Genesis 1:27 and 11:7 signify plurality in Godhead. 1 John 5:7 “For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one”. Whichever of them speaking, He speaks to Himself. Genesis 18:1-5
Three men visited Abraham and he understood, bowed before them and said, “My LORD”. The LORD, One LORD seen as three men. A coordinator testified that he was brought in a vision to the Holiness camp some years ago and three Persons met with him under the mango tree in front of Aquila hostel and prayed for him. The three Persons spoke but he heard one voice and they laid hands on him but he felt one hand. Recently, the Trinity visited the Holiness camp, Abuja as seen by Mummy Linda in a revelation and this unique nature was displayed as a confirmation.
