Someone asked me quite recently , ”do you think you are God?”. (I never remember telling it out , “I am a god “ , but , erstwhile, I had acted audaciously without fear or doubt because of the truths I have discovered and imbibed from God’s word … this had espoused his resentful remarks).
My response is: How do you read the scriptures, just as Jesus asked the Pharisees?
What does your Bible tell you?
It is very instructive telling us to study to show ourselves approved unto God… isn’t it ?
But why is the emphasis on study , meditate or read ?
Could there be a sublime twist to what our natural mind knows about the word of God? I guess that might be the reason Apostle Paul prayed for the Church at Ephesus to be granted the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of his will….
Let’s consider the Book of beginnings; Genesis, as posited by Apostle John in the gospels.
“ In the Beginning was the WORD, and the WORD was with GOD and the WORD was GOD”
What's the word or what does it encapsulate?
I understand God’s word to be God himself. The very breath of God with divine essence ….also known as His revealed will , purpose or plan concerning a people or places or a given situation in line with His provisions in Christ Jesus. It is the creative power of God carrying divine essence. The “constituent” of God’s word is a divine force with an undeniable creative ability and the very nature of God.
It is however, the sanctifying truth of God that positions anything into alignment with God’s plans.
Imagine imbibing divinity into your being continually for the rest of your life. Why won’t you be that audacious?
Let’s take a look at these scriptures:
John.10:34 - Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?[KJV]
And….
John.10:35 - If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken;[KJV]
The word came to a generation(the children of Israel), and God called them gods.
Think about this : Just by receiving the word of God they were captured as gods. This was the case with Moses after his encounter with God. He had just begun hearing the voice of God in the burning bush and subsequent engagements with God’s voice.
Exodus 4:15 - And thou shalt speak unto him, and put words in his mouth: and I will be with thy mouth, and with his mouth, and will teach you what ye shall do.[KJV]
Exodus 4:16 - And he shall be thy spokesman unto the people: and he shall be, even he shall be to thee instead of a mouth, and thou shalt be to him instead of God.[KJV]
Exodus 4:29 - And Moses and Aaron went and gathered together all the elders of the children of Israel:[KJV]
Exodus 4:30 - And Aaron spake all the words which the LORD had spoken unto Moses, and did the signs in the sight of the people.[KJV]
Who did the signs?
Do you know that God actually made Moses a God unto Aaron and Pharoah?
Exodus 7:10 - And Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharaoh, and they did so as the LORD had commanded: _and Aaron cast down *his rod* before Pharaoh_, _and before his servants, and it became a serpent.[KJV]
Whose rod is mentioned here , Aaron’s ,right?
Is it not amazing?
It was that same Moses' rod that hitherto was casted on the ground before the Lord .
But because God made him a God unto his brother and pharoah , he gave instructions to his brother ; putting words in his brother’s mouth.
Verily ,Moses stood in the stead of God as he was commissioned and promised to return to Egypt to deliver God’s inheritance (Israel).
Moses was just like God to his God’s people, especially Aaron and pharoah.
Take your faith life seriously. Endeavour to dig deep into God’s word for yourself. Never downplay any opportunity to learn Gods word or to think of His promises made you; they are so reliable.
Please take note:
Knowledge makes you vitally an authoritative figure
God bless you
