THE THREE

-
1John 5:7(KJV)
For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.

1 John 5:7
So we have these three witnesses—

There have been a lot of arguments concerning the three, or the trinity as the Roman Catholic church coined it and thus others followed. Some relate it to the Babylonian gods and other deities who reigned in earlier times.

I love what Apostle Paul taught us:

Colossians 2:8
Don’t let anyone capture you with empty philosophies and high-sounding nonsense that come from human thinking and from the spiritual powers of this world, rather than from Christ.

1 Timothy 1:4
Don’t let them waste their time in endless discussion of myths and spiritual pedigrees. These things only lead to meaningless speculations, which don’t help people live a life of faith in God.

For recently many have left the way of Christ and have begun to dwell in the arguments, the same error that the Pharisees and Sadducees did.

For though they were physically with Christ they could NOT enjoy the benefit of His presence. Selah!

However from creation, the Father, the Word and God's Spirit has been revealed. For the Father initiated the creation, the Spirit empowered the site and the Word brought forth the physical.

Genesis 1:1-3
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
The earth was formless and empty, and darkness covered the deep waters. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the surface of the waters.
Then God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.

This is how all things work:

The Father initiates, the Spirit prepares the site and the Word gives it, its form.

John 1:1-4
In the beginning the Word already existed. The Word was with God, and the Word was God.
He existed in the beginning with God.
God created everything through him, and nothing was created except through him.
The Word gave life to everything that was created, and his life brought light to everyone.

There is no division in the Father and His Word neither with His Spirit, it is we humans that have the disagreement. Thus Jesus prayed:

John 17:21
I pray that they will all be one, just as you and I are one—as you are in me, Father, and I am in you. And may they be in us so that the world will believe you sent me.

So the oneness is not arguable, Christ said so Himself, so why do we continue the argument?

John 10:30
I and [my] Father are one.

Thus salvation is complete in the presence of the Three. For we are to be returned to the Father -  the Initiator, thus we are convicted/convinced by the Spirit, empowered by the Word and thus becomes adopted into God's family.

Glory to God.

Never forget that no matter what the powers that existed or exists practice(d), they are just an imitation of the truth. They copy the prototype of the original. The Heavenly Father has the original. Selah

So do not doubt the oneness of The Heavenly Father, His Word and His Spirit, instead enjoy the salvation and life you received. Glory to God, we are made in His image: Body, Soul and Spirit. May we receive full understanding, by His Spirit. Halleluyah.

Worship the Heavenly Father.

He calls us blessed.

Love
@the watcher.

DO YOU STILL SEE?

-
Habakkuk 2:3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time; but at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, it will not tarry. It may have been easy when we first believed, to visualize the promises. We reach out with zeal, loving God, seeking to do exploits. That was when we first believed, just as Jesus said: John 3:3 Jesus answered and said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." When we become born again we see God's kingdom, our spirit man is reborn and we count the flesh as nothing. Then time passes by, we are in the world, all its distractions, temptations, responsibilities, challenges and so on begin to reveal themselves. The question then is: * Can we still see heaven? John 3:3 * Are we still zealous? John 2:17 * Are we continuing in those things? Acts 2:42 * Are we walking in love? 1John 4:7 or Has the cares and worries of life and service ta

DO UNTO OTHERS . . .

-
Matthew 7:12 "Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets. It is hypocritical of us to expect people to stand with us when we are experiencing challenges yet when we see others face their own challenges, we begin to imagine what they must have done wrong or maybe they annoyed God or did one evil or the other instead of reaching out to help as we would desire others to do for us. The same thing goes for prosperity, when the Lord opens a door for us and we have abundance of wealth or a breakthrough we expect others to rejoice with us, more so, some would even find it hard to give to others. What is our reaction when someone else gets this breakthrough, do we get suddenly suspicious without reason. Do we expect the person to reach out to us? It is better to stay on the side of encouragement than to sit as a judge or prosecutor. Jesus said, Matthew 7:2 "For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the same

MY YEAR OF FULFILMENT

-
Psalms 57:2 I cry out to God Most High, to God who will fulfill his purpose for me. We just finished the book of 1Samuel, in this book we see the cry of Israel for a king and how God raised Saul to rule them. We also saw how Saul disobeyed God and lost kingship for himself and his generation. He did not stop there, he went on to seek for the death of David, whom he saw as the next heir of the throne. In chapter 31, the last chapter, we see how Saul and all his sons and men were killed, it was tragic, however it was as a sign of relief for David. We could go on counting all the struggles and difficulties we faced in the past year. No, we should not, we should begin to look at all the positives, remembering all the good things God has done for us. If He promised it, He will do it and that is what we hold onto as we go through this year. Hebrews 10:23 Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise. This is the year of fulfilment, and
