GOD’S LOOK ALIKE? Wednesday, August 11, 2010
MEMORIZE: “And lo a voice from heaven, Saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased” (Matt. 3:17) READ: Genesis 6:1-7 The Godhead is the pioneer of look alikes as they are like a set of identical triplets. A minister of God was transported to Heaven some years ago. While discussing with the Lord Jesus, suddenly, the Father began to speak through Jesus-talking about why He sent His Son. Later, at the throne room, with an innumerable company of saved souls and angels, He saw Jesus standing at the podium preaching powerfully. From time to time, Jesus turned to exchange glances with the Father who sat on the throne covered in immense unapproachable light. At some point, Jesus walked into that massive light and was completely submerged in it. He also testified of the love in the Trinity to the point that it is like each should never let the other go even for a second. Some people think God the Holy Spirit is only a wind, sound or even a dove. Oh how wrong! God the Holy Spirit like the Father and the Son has a head, hair, hands, legs and body. Like humans, He exercises the basic senses of smell, touch, taste, feel, sight etc. only in a dimension beyond our understanding. God is spirit, has a soul and body parts. He manifests emotions like us. He can be pleased and displeased. He can be grieved when His creatures offend Him. He laughs, commands, and rebukes. He weeps too. Jesus wept on earth but even in Heaven, believers on earth still do things that make Him weep. God can be angry. You must do everything you can to prevent Him from being angry with you. This minister of God who visited the Heavenly planet confirms that God is so massive that if He stands or moves, a universe could be destroyed. No wonder the nations or the world are like drops of water in a bucket! God made us in His image. That means God created us to be gods like Him. Adam before the fall exemplified what we were created to be. Jesus Christ - the second Adam intervened after sin had ravaged mankind unlike the perfect state Adam met it.Today, if you can let Jesus come into you and live through you, the Godhead will make you their house and evil will be far from you. And you will begin to resemble God. Do you look like God? ACTION POINT: Ask for grace to look like God every passing day.
