The Nature Of God In Man 

Thursday 6th March

Text: Genesis 1: 26-27
Key Verse: Let us make man in our image, Genesis 1: 26
When someone is walking, how many persons are walking? It is a composite of three distinct components: body, soul and spirit. The three components of man walking are united into one. You only see one person but inside him are three components, separate and distinct. The body serves as a “container” for the soul and spirit. The body is the material or physical structure of a human being, while the soul and spirit are his immaterial components, which cannot be seen or touched
The Doctrine of Trinity is the coexistence of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit in the unity of the Godhead. Father is in the Son and in the Holy Spirit, the Spirit is in the Father and the Son, and the Son is in the Father and in the Holy Spirit, yet these three separate Persons are actually One Person. Man was created in the likeness and image of God, verse 26 above, tells us that more than one person was speaking: “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness.” The underlined pronouns shows that more than one person was speaking. These three persons sat together and discussed among themselves the creation of man. In the next verse, it changed to a singular pronoun: “God created man in His own image, in the image of God created He him; male and female created He them.”  
These three singular pronouns showed that it was one person talking to Himself. No animal has this nature, and the angels in Heaven do not have it. Therefore, the creation of man is superior when compared to all other creations of God, Proverb 8: 31. God’s distinctive Persons physically exemplified man, where God said, “Let us make man in our image.” Here, God spoke to Himself. Can man also speak to Himself being conscious of the separate persons in himself? Yes, man can speak to himself, Psalms 42:5. You can see the spirit exhorting his soul: Why are thou cast down? Why are you discouraged? Trust God! I will praise Him. And in Psalms 42: 6 and Psalms 42:11, same situation played out. This is how the Trinity of God is displayed in man.  
Thought For The Day: Man is spirit, soul and body 
Song For The Day: We are heirs of the Father….

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...

The Testimony Of Jesus Is Spirit Of Prophecy.

God's blessings will continually accompany you for dedicating time to your studies. The Testimony Of Jesus Is Spirit Of Prophecy.  Monday 10th November  Text: Jude 1: 2-5 Key verse: Jude 1: 3 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. The faith of Jesus has already been delivered and it is written in the scriptures. Whatever prophecies, revelations or dreams that comes must not be contrary to the standard in the scripture. They must speak the same thing. The testimony of Jesus is spirit of prophecy. Every prophecy or revelation must honour Jesus and must be according to the written word. Even where they are new things, they must not contradict because the Bible is a summary of the things Jesus did. The Bible cannot contain all things. It must be according to what the scripture has already signified, ...
