DEEPER BIBLE STUDY 3

Ques: In the redemption of man, why did God not use an angel? Ans: The offence at the fall was committed by man and the curses in effect were direct curses on him, including the curse of death, so only man could perform the substitutionary work to meet the claims of justice. Ques: How was the claims of justice to be met? Ans: The devil had the authority of death, and death is meant for sinners, so the devil through his wickedness has to violate the laws of justice by destroying him who knew no sin 1 peter 2:22. Christ manifested in the flesh, lived amongst men but never was sin found in him. Heb 4:14. He conquered death and grave. The strength of sin is the law and the sting of death is sin 1cor 15 vs 54-57 Ques: Why was Mary chosen? Ans: She was only favoured, any other virgin could have been chosen. Luke 1:30 Ques: What was the physical and spiritual composition of Jesus that was deposited in Mary? Ans : He is the seed of Almighty, the Word spoken from the beginning John 1:14, a member of part of Elohim he has the qualities of the other members of trinity, he has a quickening spirit. 1 Cor 15 vs 45 which makes him to have a terrestrial and celestial body. On earth, he was 100% man, but after satisfying the claims of justice and defeating the host of hell, he took up his celestial body, but ascended bodily in his terrestrial body. Glory!!!!!!!!!!!!. Ques: Why did he manifest in the terrestrial body? Ans: Man has been a slave of his senses, soulish, Gen 2:7, he came to present himself in sense realm, but with a message of faith that we should get out of the sense realm, and accept salvation by faith. He rebuked Thomas for being a slave of the senses. John 20:27. Ques: Why did Jesus who is a creator submit himself to the baptism of John a creature? Ans : Baptism signifies death and resurrection and since he is to be the firstborn from the dead Col 1 vs 18, he needed to complete righteousness in the realm of senses to save man. Ques: What was the significance of his healings and miracles? The first is to make the natural man know that he can only get anything from God through faith, Mattew 9:22. The second is to make the natural man know the importance of mercy. Mattew 9:13 Thirdly, to make us know that while on earth, he could forgive sins, but in heaven, he is the advocate Luke 5:24 and Hebrews 4: 14-16 Ques: Why then do we still need to pray? Ans: In the spiritual realm, there is light and darkness, the forces of darkness have received a judgment and they have a short time to unleash wickedness, they hate man with perfect hatred. We need to pray, to bring their activities in our lives to nothingness. As we pray, we engage the forces of light on our behalf. Luke 18 vs 1-7. We need to pray in Jesus name!. We also pray to remind God that we are still subjects in his kingdom and that we believe his promises. Ques: Why do we need to ask for forgiveness if Jesus died for our sins? Ans: God is not committed to forgive a sin that is not confessed and forsaken; the devil and his host will readily use the sin that is not confessed to accuse us in God's presence. We need to engage Jesus as our advocate. Heb 4: 14-16. Que: What happened after Jesus left the cross? Ans: He FIRST went to paradise {there is no more paradise, only kingdom of God}to meet the Old Testament saints, i.e. Moses, Abraham and others who were waiting for the kingdom of God to fulfill the old covenant. He told the thief on the cross, 'this day you shall be with me in paradise' Que: How DID HE DEFEAT Satan? Ans: He LEFT paradise and proceeded to hell as he had met the claims of justice COLOSSIANS 2:15 gives a description of what happened in hell. He humiliated death and the host of darkness. He had to complete the assignment by being raised so that we are justified Romans 4:25. He carried his blood live into the Holy of Holies so that the supreme court of universe could accept as our justification. Mary could not touch him until he finished all these John 20 vs 16-17.

DEEPER BIBLE LESSONS 2

Ques: What was God's plan in creating man? Answer: God wanted to connect his kingdom in heaven to the earth, he created the heaven and earth so he could reign in both heaven and earth. That is why Christ came to preach 'thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven' Matthew 6. He made man his earthly representative as he gave Adam, the responsibility of naming all other creatures. Gen 2:19 Ques: What nature was man made? What were his qualities? Answer: God breathed in to man and he became a living soul. Gen 2: 7 This made the first Adam predominantly soulish- a slave of his senses, i.e eyes, ears , taste, feel, smell. He is a terrestrial being and the spirit in him was subject to his accepted master. By the fall, the spirit was already subject to the devil and it began to strive with God. Gen 6:3. Ques: How can man acquire a celestial spirit? Answer: This is only made possible by faith in Christ Jesus. Had man a quickening spirit, 1 Cor 15:45, He would have possessed a celestial body which is immortal, but he did not eat the fruit of the tree of life Gen3:22 which in the sense realm could have given him this ability before he was driven out of the garden. God has both terrestrial and celestial body, so he functions in heaven and earth. And Christ, took up his celestial body after resurrection, because he has a quickening spirit, that is different from that of man. This enabled him to resurrect in the same earthly body. At new birth, we acquire the quickening spirit which manifests after physical death ,that gives us the eternal life 1 John 5 vs 12. At physical death, we pick up our celestial bodies. 1 Cor 15. This is no longer in the sense realm, but in the faith realm, because we are now justified by faith .Romans 5. Ques: How was eve deceived? Ans: Eve was deceived through the same thing that still deceives many Christians today. Which is contention with the word of God. God gave them direct instructions but they followed the voice of the stranger. The serpent knew that the spirit in man is subject to mastership {psalm 51:12}free spirit. He is a free moral agent, he re-analysed God's word and Eve gave in. Gen3:6. The major points to note in this matter were the things that informed the decision of Eve. 1. The woman saw that the fruit was good for food[lust of flesh] 1 john 2;15-17 2. She saw that it was pleasant to the eyes[lust of eyes]1 john 2 ;15-17 3. She learnt it would make her wise[pride of life] 1 john 2;15-17 The devil's real mission is to counter the word of God and provide an alternative that will get man into trouble. Ques: Does this have a root in the new testament of Jesus? Ans: Jesus is the Word of God manifested in the flesh John 1:14 and he being the word himself gave his own analysis as the sower of the word in Mark 4:14-19. The summary of this scripture is the same with the above. When the word of God is sown, if any of the above three things is present, it will definitely choke the word. One can have all the good things of life and live for Christ, if the word is treasured. Ques: How did satan start to reign through man? Ans: He made man to receive a curse and also, the spirit of man began to strive with God, so he became the pseudo ruler of this world taking the advantage of the dominion of man, and his free moral agency. He made this claim in Luke 4;6 Ques: Why did God chase man away from the garden? Ans; If God had not ejected man from the garden, he would have eaten the tree of life in his state of wickedness and have both celestial and terrestrial body that does not die. This would have been a disaster!!!!. Now the tree of life is to be taken by those who have overcome in Christ Jesus. Rev 2:7 Ques: what is the plan of God for man outside the garden? Ans: He sent the law and the prophets, so that we can know that we, who can not fully obey the laws are wretched and miserable. The devil already had become the author of death. He could however, legally kill people who sin, as the wages of sin is death. Jesus was made sin on our behalf so that we could be the the righteousness of God in him. His death met the claims of justice against man would be met and Satan would lose his Pseudo-ruler ship.

Understanding What Jesus Christ Did Between the Cross and the Throne Through The Attached Cartoon.

Titled: Acquitted. Box 1: The Entire race of man fell Through Adam and had to face the universal court of justice. Roman 3:23 (All have sinned and come short of the Glory of God) Box2: Life is in the blood (Leviticus 17:11), and so only Blood can be used for sacrifice of Atonement. And so the Law and the Prophets came but they can only cover sin, they cannot purge it (Hebrews 10:4). The case looked hopeless. There was need for blood that could purge sins. Box3: And so, man was sentenced to death, Death reigned from Adam till the coming of Jesus Christ. Box 4: Jesus Christ, having perfected eternal salvation on the cross, went to Hell And took the keys of DEATH and was declared by the universal court as an able substitute to take our place (1 John 3:8), He appeared on the scene,’ having blotted out all the handwriting of ordinances that was against us which was contrary to us….took it out of the way, nailing it to the cross’…(Colossians 2:14) Box5: HE MADE YOU FREE! Box 6: What do you have to say now too?

are you protected in these covenant?

More About The Disciples Of Christ…. Humans are inquisitive beings by nature. We always want to know what our contract with God holds to be sure we are well considered. Abraham needed God to really explain to him about the OLD contract. Genesis 15:8. He wanted to know if he would really inherit the promise.. The Disciples were equally inquisitive. At different times, they wanted to know if they were protected in the new covenant with Jesus. These guys are no fools to die the way they did. They saw the man they revered so much ascend to Heaven as he promised and they knew they were protected in the contract. What about us? I mean you and me? Remember Christ told the disciples to wait in the upper room for the promise of the Holy Ghost? And when the Holy Ghost came, the promise was sealed. The GUARANTEE OF THIS PROMISE IS THE HOLY GHOST! Ephesians chapter 1 vs 13’ in Him you also who have heard the Word of Truth, the glad tidings (Gospel) of your salvation, and have believed in and adhered to and relied on him, were stamped with the seal of the long –promised Holy Spirit. 14”That (Spirit) is the guarantee of our inheritance(the first fruits, the pledge and foretaste, down payment on our Heritage), in anticipation of its full redemption and our acquiring (complete) possession of it ---to the praise of our glory!(AMP)

Nothing Just Happens!

The physical world is very much deceived that there is something called co-incidence, but in the actual sense, this is gross contradiction to the fact that people sometimes dream and it does come to pass. The dream world is the commonest way to catch a glimpse of the spirit realm.

The Bible makes it clear that whatever you can hold or have a grasp of has no eternal value! 2 Corinthians 4:18.Since the Spirit of man can not be held, so it is eternal! So whatever will cause joy or sorrow would have been released in the spirit realm before it can come to physical manifestation.

There is a continuous connection and unbroken interference of both the physical and spiritual realm as one needs the other very much.

As a Christian Counselor, I am familiar with the fact that people get afflicted in the spiritual realm and sometimes immediately sees the manifestation in the physical realm and sometimes the affliction goes through an intriguing process that it is no longer traced to the spiritual realm. Because man is essentially a spirit being, he gets worried and there is a longing in him to know what tomorrow holds, so he delves into mysteries and he begins to consult psychics and other mediums.

As earlier said, the inter-relationship of the physical and spiritual realm with each other brings a lot of experiences pleasant and unpleasant to human beings.

The problem of knowledge has caged the modern man since he is a product of senses, and so  whatever he does not get in his sense of touch, taste, feeling, seeing or hearing is not real as far as he is concerned, however there is a knowledge he cannot decode which explains who God is, that decodes the law of gravity, insight into the spiritual realm of dreams and visions that he could not have decoded.

Sense knowledge always ends up in guesswork as it cannot unravel God. It fails to contact reality as the only reality is in Jesus Christ. It cannot explain the sudden feeling of emptiness in an individual despite the fact that the individual is financially stable. Sense  knowledge cannot explain the reason for sudden lack of love but there is a type of knowledge called revelation knowledge that can unravel all these mysteries, and this knowledge is only given by receiving the fullness of  Jesus Christ 

Romans I verses  22-32 makes us to understand how depravity crept into man as a result of delving into the other side of spiritual reality, and this resulted into :

Witchcraft (Conscious and Unconscious)

Familiar Spirit

Spiritual Spouses (Spirit wife or Spirit husband).

Operations of Generational Curses and Covenants

All these forms of spirituality have their aims which in one way or the other inflict pains on people directly or indirectly.

The Hidden Man

God Almighty And The Hidden Man!

God Almighty is neither a phenomenon or an idea, nor a product of man’s imagination as some ancient philosophers have made many to believe . It is actually  very foolish for anyone to promote the evolution  or any other theory that only portrays God as an idea. If any has fallen into this category, it is good for such a person to take a deep reflection on himself and see if he can locate his Spirit or tangibly have a grasp of his Soul. If the answer is no, it follows that the real man is hidden and not seen, but embedded a mass of carcass called a body which we carry around!

2 Corinthians Chapter 5 verse 1 says ‘”For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle was dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in heavens”.

This scripture portrays our body as a house! And right inside this house is the real man! The hidden man! The Spirit of the man!

Since man cannot see his Spirit, he is very Spirit thirsty. He is always bothered about the unseen realities. He has a longing for things he cannot hold! All he does when he is trying to solve a mystery is to try and locate the unseen.

If we have agreed that the real man is hidden, and we are made in the image of God, Then it follows that God too must be hidden.

The Bible is the only book that proves also that man is ageless. So it is not when a man is born that he starts to live. He has had a pre-existence  before he came to live on the earth.

God Almighty said he knew Jeremiah before he was formed in the belly. Lets read Jeremiah 1 verse 5 says` Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.`

Who did God know? Was it the body of Jeremiah? No! it was his Spirit!

 Some people  have actually had  dreams in which they see the children they later give birth to in real life. This means that this children had pre-existed in the Spirit world before coming physically to the world.

Many prophets in the Bible had many prophesies that had gone ahead of them before they were born. In summary, we conclude that man is ageless through the Spirit, and God is in effect ageless as the creator of man.  We also conclude that God is the creator that was never created, He is the provider that is never provided for, He is the ruler that is never ruled, He is the Beginner that never began! He is the I AM THAT I AM. He is God Almighty!
