THE PLANET EARTH BEFORE ADAM DAY 17

By

Hello everyone, welcome to another day in this series. I said yesterday that the PROJECT MAN was not complete before man fell in Genesis 3. This audacious statement has generated some controversies among the readers. Because of this, I am going to start again and I will take still further. Adam wasn't complete before the fall. I will go over my points again.
I already said in this series that the God Head were already in existence before creating the Heavens and the Earth. I also said that Heaven is not the Home of God. Rather, the Third Heaven is God's Throne/Office. The eternal goal of God is that ONE DAY, MAN WILL BE HIS HOST; MAN WILL BE THE HOUSE THAT THE GOD HEAD WILL DWELL. Is. 66 vs. 1-2, 1Cor. 3:16-17, 6:15-20, 12: 12-27, Eph. 2:22, 5:30, and many others. I am still coming back to this.
Let us revisit Gen. 1 vs 26-27.
1. In Genesis 1 vs. 26, God the Father spoke to the remaining members of the God Head about MAKING ANOTHER MAN IN THEIR OWN (THREE OF THEM) IMAGE AND LIKENESS. It means this man MUST BE IN THE IMAGE AND LIKENESS OF GOD THE FATHER, WORD (WHICH LATER BECAME THE SON) AND THE HOLY GHOST. This is the reason Man was made to have three compartments; spirit, soul and body.
The question is this, was Adam in the image and likeness of the three of them? I don't know about you but my answer is a big NO! My reasons will be unveiled as we proceed.
2. If you notice in Genesis chapter 1, apart from Vs. 2 where Ruach Elohim (Holy Spirit) was used, the word 'God (Elohim)' was used throughout that chapter. But in chapter 2, especially from Vs. 4 notice that the word changed to 'LORD God (Yahweh Elohim)'. Yahweh Elohim is the name of 'GOD THE WORD who later became THE SON'. Every time, the name 'The LORD GOD' appears in the Bible, it refers to THE SECOND PERSON IN THE TRINITY. Remember that Jesus Christ (The Word made Flesh) has now been made LORD OF ALL (HEIR, RIGHTFUL OWNER OF ALL THINGS).
Yahweh Elohim was responsible for the forming of the physical body of man and other created things that picked up material tangibility in Gen. 2.
Having said this, the question is this, was Adam a complete reflection of the image and likeness of the Three members of the God Head? I don't believe so. Someone said how can you say this? Have you thought about the extraordinary feat Adam accomplished when he named all the animals? To be candid, that is matchless! But, that is not enough reason to say that Adam was complete.
WHAT IS MY DEFINITION OF COMPLETE?
My definition of 'complete' is derived from Gen. 1:26. It means MAN is supposed to bear and reflect the image and likeness of the THREE MEMBERS OF THE GOD-HEAD.
Having gotten the understanding of what the COMPLETE MAN should be, let us now explore
WHAT ADAM HAD AND WHAT WAS MISSING.
1. Adam was a spirit just like the God head.
2. Adam was created (Bara-Hebrew: to bring something out of a non physically existing material) in Genesis 1:27. His body was formed (Yatsah-Hebrew: to bring something out of a physically existing material).
What happened in Gen. 2 vs 7?
Some thought it was 'The Life of God (Zoe) that God breathed into Adam. If you are part of those people, your conclusion is very untrue!
Adam didn't have 'The Life of God'. Gen. 2:7 gave insight into how the 'spirit of man' that was created in Gen. 1:27 was TRANSFERRED into this 'clay like lifeless body from the dust of the ground'. Selah!
Let me stop here tonight and continue tomorrow.
God bless you!

Prayer of Enquiry

By
PRAYER OF ENQUIRY Prayer is a well established and accepted doctrine in all denominations of the body of Christ. Although, there are differences in our modes of prayer, we all believe in the efficacy of lifting up our voice to God to hear our requests and answer them. As much as we do a lot of this, we don't take the full advantage of it as children of God. We would rather worry and think things through rather than calling on God for help. This can be due to lack of faith in the power of God or being slothful in prayers. Apart from the aforementioned factors that prevent us from enjoying the efficacy of prayers, one key factor that prayer hinges on is praying correctly. To pray correctly simply means to pray according to the will of God. It is easy to know the will of God about sickness and poverty because they are expressly written in bible, but even at this, we still do not get answers when we pray. What you might be missing out may be a simple enquiry. The prayer ...

Holy Spirit 15- The Seven Spirits of God- Part 2

By
We have established yesterday that the 7 Spirits of God describe the 7 fold distinct manifestation of the Holy Spirit and it also describes the perfection of the Spirit of God. The answer to yesterday's quiz is: when God stepped into the matter in Eden, the 7 persons brought by the number 7 are: Adam, Eve, Physical Serpent, spiritual Serpent (the Devil), the Seed of the Woman (Jesus the Christ), the seed of the spiritual serpent (Antichrist) and God Himself . Re- read Day 14 to know how this fit in. Today's Broadcast 2. THE SPIRIT OF WISDOM Is. 11:2, Eph. 1:17 This is the Spirit that reveals to you the PLANS AND PURPOSES OF GOD CONCERNING YOUR LIFE, A MATTER, PLACE, etc. If you will ever know why you are on earth, you need the operation of the Spirit of Wisdom. He reveals EVERYTHING AND ANYTHING about the future. There are 3 prominent Greek words used for Wisdom relevant to our subject; SOPHIA, SUNESIS and PHRONESIS. A. SOPHIA describes the entire wisdom of God. T...

Holy Spirit 4- The Symbol of Dove

By
Mt. 3:16, Mk. 1:10. This typifies the harmless and gentle nature of God the Holy Spirit. He neither FORCE NOR FUSS ANYONE. It is only the Devil that force people and even afflict them without their consent. The Holy Spirit IS NOT a dove; He created the dove. Luke 3:22 says 'the Holy Spirit descended in a bodily form like a dove upon Him'. Many have wrongly interpreted this verse and that's why many church logos have the dove as an integral part of it. You need to know that the church can NEVER COME INTO HER FULL POTENTIAL AND RELEVANCE ON THE EARTH UNTIL SHE KNOWS (knowledge with participation-Greek EPIGNOSIS) the Holy Spirit. The person that designed the handbill for EPIGNOSIS Nite had already put a Dove there to represent 'the Holy Spirit'. I told him to remove it. The symbols in most cases are already becoming an idol in many people's hearts and rather than for many to think of the Holy Spirit as a person, they think of Him as a dove/fire/wind,etc. T...
