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….
Bible Reading For The Day: Joshua 5-7

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...
