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

THE LORD IS REMOVING UNCIRCUMCISED LEADERS

REMAIN BLESSED AS YOU TAKE YOUR TIME TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD. THURSDAY 30 DECEMBER THE LORD IS REMOVING UNCIRCUMCISED LEADERS TEXT: NUMBERS 14: 26-31  Key verse: Matthew 20:16 So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many  be called, but few chosen. Completion of the angelic message: The Lord continued. “Because of this mandate given to you, I am removing around you the uncircumcised leaders. I am going to fill their place with righteous and holy leaders from various nations and races.” Truly I had pondered if any minister has suffered like this. People I loved, cherished and lived peacefully with suddenly began to speak evil against me to my shock. Well, it happens in politics, but is limited to their countries, whereas mine is international! Yes, some ministers may have suffered these things, but that was before the advent of the Internet, so their sufferings were limited. Maybe through letters or newspapers for a limited time, but my own is in the world of the I...
