PRELUDE
So many persons are out there looking for a way to scrap out
Christianity and everything that has to do with Christian
education, even nations had gone further to inact certain civil
laws that has handicapped there possibilities and has brought
darkness over them, simple because they feel judged and
intimidated when you mention Jesus Christ and all about God,
but just like Jesus accurately described their situation, so it's.
John 3:19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into
the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because
their deeds were evil.
But I've a good news for you this day, the Jesus Christ who is
our LORD although is God forever, but wasn't "God" during his
33 years on earth, but before I'll tell who he was, let's see what
The Apostle Paul had to say about this.
Philippians 2:5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ
Jesus:
2:6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be
equal with God:
2:7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the
form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
2:8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself,
and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
Question: So who was he then, He's you and I in the version
God engrafted us into creation in the loins of Adam. That's why
he had to come from the womb of a woman as God promised
the serpent in Genesis 3. Jesus was and did nothing that Adam
couldn't have done and was, before the fall, so in Hebrews 1 v1-4,
we see God tell us to follow Jesus to become the Man we lost
in the first Adam. So Jesus gave us that same position we lost
in our ancestry, and when he completed that particular mission,
he returned as The Holy Ghost to empower us to be exactly as
he's.
Therefore this book is for that purpose and if you follow this
series, I'm persuaded that you'll become a Man in the fashion of
the Adam God created prior to the fall, enjoy your study.
YOU CAN OVERCOME THE DEVIL WITH THIS
Knowing the strategy and the target of your enemy gives you an
edge to tame him, and rule over his decisions. The devil is not
really after your going to Heaven or Hell, his main concern is not
about how you will spend your eternity, no, his rather after
something that every believer, child of God, Christian should never
plan to lose, the devil is after your "Dominion".
You see the heaven of heavens is the abode of God and the
devil doesn't have a place there and the Earth according to the
Psalmist in verse 16 of chapter 115 has made us to understand
that Jehovah willed it to mankind and if diligently you look into
the 3rd chapter of the book of Genesis, then you'll find the
scope of the devil's aim and objective in the visible creation.
Genesis 3:1 Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of
the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the
woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the
garden?
3:2 And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the
fruit of the trees of the garden:
3:3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the
garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye
touch it, lest ye die.
3:4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely
die:
3:5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your
eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and
evil.
In the above scriptures we see the account of the 1st temptation
within the visible creation and right in verse 1, the devil was
described and he also began to speak thus: Ye hath God said, ye
shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
Why would the 1st question has to do with do's and don't's?
Why not other things like going ahead to pluck the fruit and
give it to Eve or try to ask her out of the garden or just try
something else? But he decided to come via the corridor of do's
and don't's. The answer is simple, it's because do's and don't's
signifies "Principles" which the devil knows that he could not
have had his way as long as they stick to the principles given to
them, the devil knows also that if you go against the principles
in any system of life, the system will abort you, thus you can't
break principles, rather principles breaks you. This is the reason
why the Apostle Paul warned his disciples never to think about
messing with their bodies being theTEMPLE OF GOD , the house
and office of the Holy Ghost, lest they be destroyed., So by this
we know that you can't break principles because unlike protocols,
principles areLAWS that are tailored into the fabrics of creation
by God and whenever you go against it, the system aborts you,
your efforts and lock you from coming in again and the
devil(rebel) being a victim of such experience knows that the only
way he could have perverted what God had shown to the the
Psalmist in the 115 chapter, and the 16th verse, is to make the
Man to rebel against the principles of God too by introducing a
protocol that wasn't in constant velocity with his do's and don't's,
since man also is the crown of God's creation in the visible realm,
the devil knows that without dealing with the man, his powers
are meaningless and immediately the Man goes beyond his
jurisdiction came judgement.
Question: Why didn't the devil go ahead and pluck and eat the
fruit by himself?
Note that God God told only the mankind not to eat of this
particular source, not animals, not insects, not even spirits, but
mankind and that's where the woman didn't discern the voice of
the adversary. Most times we humans tends to fall exactly the
victim of Adam, we have this problem of trying to be, have, do
or become things or whom we aren't designed to be, simply
because we want to confirm or affirm a particular school of
thought even when we know that these ideas aren't provided for
our consumption by our maker.
Now back to our panorama, the devil came for them to try
something that will make the principles to which they operate to
abort them, because as at that time mankind rank among
creation over Satan and Satan himself wants that position where
he'll have dominion over what God had made. This is what the
adversary is after and not your journey to heaven or hell.
OVERCOMING THE ADVARSRY
When Jesus Christ came in the flesh, the Bible made us to know
that his mission was in 2 dimensions:
Now it happens that the only way to overcome into the promise
of everlasting life is Dominion, this is what Jesus meant in his
charges to His disciples prior His ascension in verse 4-8 of
chapter 2 of the book of Acts of the Apostles. And the only
facility that's made for your prosperous existance , is also
responsible for your ticket in eternity and that's what the devil
needs to enslave you here on Earth. And now the LORD God is
saying, that any day you via the scriptures understand what your
value is, then you're able to willed the power of God on earth.
YOUR POSITION IN GOD
Psalms 82:5 They know not, neither will they understand; they
walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of
course.
82:6 I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the
most High.
82:7 But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.
82:8 Arise, O God, judge the earth: for thou shalt inherit all
nations.
The above scripture talk about a prayer session of a Psalmist,
who raised petitions to the LORD God, he witnessed the property
of the wicked and the regressions of the righteous and he came
with supplications and one of the things he said was "how long
will you O LORD judge unjustly, how would you be with us and
the wicked is ruling over us? And at that point the LORD God
decided to open his eyes, to see that the problem of mankind
has been ignorance on our side and He went on to say I've
called them (mankind) gods the sons of the Most High God, but
because they refused to understand like a mare mortal shall they
end and like one of the princes(Satan) shall they fall, and in His
Mercy can a remedial prescription, what is this prescription?
Stand up and cry unto the LORD thus "Arise Ọ LORD and judge
the earth for your offsprings, your posterity shall inherit all
nations.
Child of God under the sound of my voice, I don't know your
conviction about your existence, but if only you can pray, if only
you can depend on the LORD God through Jesus Christ our
LORD, your Nation will bow to God in you.
PRAY O CHILD OF GOD
Isaiah 40:28 Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the
everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth,
fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his
understanding.
40:29 He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no
might he increaseth strength.
40:30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young
men shall utterly fall:
40:31 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their
strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run,
and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
The above scripture shows that the only way we can be like God
is by waiting upon the LORD in the place of prayer and just like
the Psalmist in chapter 91, shall we be the testimony of believers.
Hallelujah.
