IS IT TRULY GOD?

1 Chronicles 21:1,7,17

Satan rose up against Israel and caused David to take a census of the people of Israel.

God was very displeased with the census, and he punished Israel for it.

And David said to God, “I am the one who called for the census! I am the one who has sinned and done wrong! But these people are as innocent as sheep—what have they done? O  lord my God, let your anger fall against me and my family, but do not destroy your people.”


One good advise to give to new converts is to begin reading scriptures from the New Testament. Most preferably from the book of John.


Why is this so?


Jesus said:


Matthew 11:27

“My Father has entrusted everything to me. No one truly knows the Son except the Father, and no one truly knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.”


The person who could really reveal the Heavenly Father was Himself through His Son, Jesus the Christ.


None who recorded the old testament had a true knowledge of the Father. This is proved when we read the accounts like that in 2Samuel 24 and compared to 1Chronicles 21.


2 Samuel 24:1

Once again the anger of the lord burned against Israel, and he caused David to harm them by taking a census. “Go and count the people of Israel and Judah,” the lord told him.


1 Chronicles 21:1

Satan rose up against Israel and caused David to take a census of the people of Israel.


From the original texts we see that the translators could not clearly see the distinction between God and Satan, the truth was that in the time of the old testament, the people did not have the revelation of who Satan was.


That is why we read the New Testament to get the true revelation of who the Heavenly Father is, then when we read the old testament, we read without the veil.


Also it was Christ who exposed Satan and his works.


So do not complicate it by trying to explain yet with the veil on, take it off then the true revelation of the Heavenly Father will be revealed.


Christ is the true revelation of who the Heavenly Father is, and if you are truly going to know the Father it must be through the Son.


Colossians 1:15-21

Christ is the visible image of the invisible God. 

He existed before anything was created and is supreme over all creation,

for through him God created everything in the heavenly realms and on earth. 

He made the things we can see and the things we can’t see— 

such as thrones, kingdoms, rulers, and authorities in the unseen world. 

Everything was created through him and for him.

He existed before anything else, and he holds all creation together.

Christ is also the head of the church, which is his body. 

He is the beginning, supreme over all who rise from the dead. 

So he is first in everything.

For God in all his fullness was pleased to live in Christ,

and through him God reconciled everything to himself. 

He made peace with everything in heaven and on earth by means of Christ’s blood on the cross.

This includes you who were once far away from God. You were his enemies, separated from him by your evil thoughts and actions.


Christ is the true revealer of the Heavenly Father all others after Him are liars, know this and know peace!


He yet remains the revealer and the mediator.


1 Timothy 2:5

For,There is one God and one Mediator who can reconcile God and humanity—the man Christ Jesus.


So you want explanations, come to Christ Jesus.


Glory.


PRAYER 

Loving Father thank You for revealing Yourself through Your Son, Christ Jesus. Lord help me to know You more and more each passing day. Glory to Your name Lord forevermore.


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

TRADE WISELY

-
Isaiah 40:31 But those who wait on the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint. Many have traded their joy chasing over material things and the pleasures and satisfaction of the world. The question is "is it worth it?". Yes we must earn, work and keep improving day after day but we must remember "nothing is free". We must pay a price. So, what are we ready to sacrifice? Some have sacrificed, their: * health * peace of mind * children * marriage * calling * ministry * good name All in the bid to get material things. 2Timothy 4:10 for Demas has forsaken me, having loved this present world, and has departed for Thessalonica-- Crescens for Galatia, Titus for Dalmatia. There is always a process, we would get into trouble when we try to use the shortcut, to get it by all means and immediately. Let us be careful of what exchange we make! Let us ask like J

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
