Central Truth: Man was created in Gods image and likeness, spoken words are a sign of our inbuilt attribute through which we are to, just like our maker use the authority given to us to SPEAK light(counsel of God) to our generation.
In this series part one and two, we are going to be diving into some realities that are either not known or underutilized in the body of Christ today.
I have outlined it by the grace of God into these:
Part one:
1. The Mystery behind our Identity, our being, image and likeness as regards speaking.
2. Examples of men whose spoken words backed by Gods authority wrought victory for God in the Bible
And in Part 2, we will look at the dynamics
Criteria
Principle that brings about the workings of that which proceed out of thy mouth.
God drew me closer to Him by placing burdens in my heart, strong burdens in form of questions about the supremacy of God and His word.
I had a lot of questions and still do and by His grace He has led me to some answers about most things.
One of the burdens was that, why when a person says he or she is a Christian, people tend to mock and say "Ahh dem don get this one" in the sense that you have fallen into bondage??
Another question was that, why are most Christians that love God sincerely and are mostly faithful, poor and suffering? And they are ok with it. They use the term " This world is not my own etc" "Money is evil" yet they stand on the pulpit and tell the congregation to donate money for building??
Another one is " Why has the world and its systems so infiltrated the church, all kind of atrocities. It's hard for us to see trust worthy brothers and sisters that are faithful or operate a legal business.
Doctrines was the worst of all, the body of Christ are like cats and dog, doctrinal differences. This are some,
I was driven to always defend the image of Christ and became angry at every insult to the name of God especially in the body of Christ and by unbelievers.
So I began to seek knowledge in the word, I began to search scriptures and what the Holy Spirit was revealing to me was in total contrast to what I was seeing manifesting in the body of Christ and amongst believes.
From passion and questions, I fell in love deeply with Jesus Christ and the burdens became stronger just like the love of a wife for her husband, always ready to support and defend Him at any cost..
Why am I saying all these?
But until we get to that place where the eyes of our understanding be enlightened to know the mystery of Gods original intention for creating man, and for sending His son to die on the cross for us to redeem us back to His original plan, until that, the devil will continue to deceive us and rub us off our rights and capability bestowed upon us in Christ Jesus.
I pray the day will come when I will vocally pass this message to everyone because this one field I am passionate about, that is bringing people to the reality of our inheritance in Christ Jesus, establishing Christ and Lord in our hearts and helping people to discover the many dimensions of possibilities that are available in Christ Jesus.
Brethren, God is not man that He should lie or a son of man that He should repent.
He is a perfect God,
He was before time began
He is God even now
And is to come,
He has eternity in the palm of His hand. All we are experiencing now, from the beginning of time till the end he has seen it all
"For ever oh Lord, thy WORD is settled in heaven, it is settled "
Mystery behind our being
There is no better place to start than from the beginning.
Genesis 1:26-27
[26]God said, Let Us [Father, Son, and Holy Spirit] make mankind in Our image, after Our likeness, and let them have complete authority over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, the [tame] beasts, and over all of the earth, and over everything that creeps upon the earth. [Ps. 104:30; Heb. 1:2; 11:3.]
[27]So God created man in His own image, in the image and likeness of God He created him; male and female He created them. [Col. 3:9, 10; James 3:8, 9.]
Take note that the decision to make man was brought to life in unison with God Almighty, The Word and the Holy Spirit.
2. They agreed that man was going to take the image of a god on earth, in other words, earth was mans domain to rule dou over. All authority was given to man over everything on earth and over the devil and his angels that were cast down to earth..
We were created the IMAGE AND LIKENESS OF GOD
Image speaks about all the attributes and character, personality of God, in other words we are God Personified
While Likeness refers to "Man has two hands and two legs, head, heart, MOUTH, voice, eyes etc.. With God also. All our likeness that we possess have their and physical and Spiritual functions, just as the body of Christ described by Apostle Paul in (1Corith 12:12-13)
Since we have established the origin of man, his image and likeness and his duties given by God, creation didn't stop there, please follow me.
Jeremiah 1:5-7
[5]Before I formed you in the womb I knew [and] approved of you [as My chosen instrument], and before you were born I separated and set you apart, consecrating you; [and] I appointed you as a prophet to the nations. [Exod. 33:12; Isa. 49:1, 5; Rom. 8:29.]
[6]Then said I, Ah, Lord God! Behold, I cannot speak, for I am only a youth. [Exod. 4:10; 6:12, 30; I Kings 3:7.]
[7]But the Lord said to me, Say not, I am only a youth; for you shall go to all to whom I shall send you, and whatever I command you, you shall speak.
Now God was speaking to Jeremiah, at that time, Jeremiah was afraid, the task given him by God seemed overwhelming for him at his age.
God had to open his eyes to mystery of the Breath of Life
Genesis 2:7
Then the Lord formed man from the dust of the ground and breath into his nostril the breath of Life, and man became a living being
Jeremiah 1:5 Says and i interpret
"Way before your parents began envisage getting married and having kids, way before the earth began I KNEW YOU.
Where did God know Jeremiah from?
The word KNOW in the original text of the old testament ( Hebrew) implies that to Know a person goes beyond understanding, and knowledge, it refers to a more intimate and personal relationship between a person e.g a husband and his wife Genesis 4:1 says " And Adam knew his wife" intimacy and personal relationship.
What am i getting here?
Every man that is in existence before man was formed all dwelt intimately IN ELOHIM in Spirit (Colossians 2:9) so that when God finished molding man, He breath into man the Breath of Life and Adam came forth.
So it is with Children. The psalmist says Children are the HERITAGE of the Lord which simply implies that all children comes from God and the dwell intimately with God.
So it is safe to day that we also were present during creation and we also took part in the SPEAKINGS OF GOD concerning the formation of the earth.
So Imagine the anger of God when one created in His image as a god begins to bow to an idol, to poverty, depression, sorrow, sicknesses, error.
The psalmist says in psalm 82:6-7
Have i not said that YE are gods and the children of the most High..
But complacency, ignorance, fear, laziness, deceptive wiles of the devil, (Eve and the serpent) has caused us to bow.
"AND GOD SAID"
"AND GOD SAID"
"AND GOD SAID"
LET THERE BE"
at the authority of ELOHIM everything spoken, WAS and IS, and IS TO COME already spoken into the books of Revelation..
I ask you today, what are you LETTING
What are you SPEAKING
Moses tell them "WHATSOEVER EVER I hear them say, that I will do unto them
In context of that scripture, the children of Israel by them selves spoke of their own demise in the wilderness by doubting God and exalting their enemies over the power of God after He had brought them our with His mighty hand and with His out stretched arm, without war but through signs and wonders.
So they spoke their demise.
I ask again, what are you SAYING with your mouth and in your heart because Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks
Are you Jeremiah who told God
6]Then said I, Ah, Lord God! Behold, I cannot SPEAK for I am only a youth. [Exod. 4:10; 6:12, 30; I Kings 3:7.]
[7]But the Lord said to me, Say not, I am only a youth; for you shall go to all to whom I shall send you, and whatever I command you, you shall speak.
under whose command, under whose report do you speak??
This is a night of searching and returning and say to God.
Prayer:
Lord I have fallen short of the image i am made off through Christ Jesus through deception, but Lord I return today, RESTORE unto me your divine power to walk in the consciousness of who I am in Christ.
Revelation 5:10.......
And with your blood you purchased for God from every tribe and language and nation
(Vs 10) You have made them to be a kingdom of priest to serve our God and they will reign on earth..
Open the eyes of my understanding to discern the deception of the devil and to overcome him with revelation of my authority in Christ..
In Jesus name we have prayed, Amen.
Hallelujah
God is not a man
He doesn't lie
He doesn't make mistakes
His original intention for Mankind will stand
And we will be partakers of His divine nature.
Next week we will go even deeper to discuss the terms and conditions applied to Jump Start your speaking Spirit in you.
Its in you..
But if you haven't given your life to Christ, this reality will be very far from you, The Lord is calling you now to come before Him and He will make you free and a partaker..
Say these words:
Lord Jesus, come into my life, I accept you as my Lord and my saviour, cleans me of all my sins, was me by your blood for I believe you are the son of God, and that you died and rose again the third day, I surrender all to your Lordship, give me your Holy Spirit to fill and guide me. Thank you for making me new, thank you for my sins are washed away, thank you Lord, in Jesus name I pray, AMEN.
Hallelujah.
