In the Begining God
Audio Message link below:
The story of creation is not strange to us, and so I don’t intend for us to start retelling that story. I am assuming that we have a firm grip of that aspect of the Word of God, and I believe that for you to be a minister of the Gospel, you do have any quiet conviction that the world only came out of evolution.
Could we agree together on that? That in the beginning, God. Is that alright? That at the beginning, God. Now, that is where the Word of God begins.
In the beginning, God. That already proves that God did not begin. Is that alright? He is the beginner of every beginning, but he himself never began.
Our God is the cause that causes everything to be, but he himself is not caused by anything. Our God is the self-sufficient God that provides every sufficiency for everything either in heaven and on earth, but he himself does not depend on anything to exist. God is God.
Is that alright? There is no need to look for anything beyond Genesis verse one, I mean chapter one, verse one. The beginning of wisdom is the knowledge of God. Is that alright? If you have doubts about the fact that in the beginning, God, then I think our basis of relationship here will be faulty.
So can I go ahead that our biblical basis is that God has no beginning. Is that alright? And he has no end. And that God calls into existence those things that be not as though they were.
And he did everything effortlessly. He is God. Is that alright? Now, why did I need to emphasize that? It is impossible to speak eloquently about God, whom you think was constructed out of some philosophical ideas.
Your ministry will be weak except your conviction of a personal God. A God that is a personality. A God that is real.
A God that created and creates. A God that organizes things and he does everything according to his own counsel and his own purpose and that nothing ever happened anywhere all over the universe including the heavenlies that was outside his hand. He is in charge of all.
Do we agree with that before I go ahead? Alright. That’s good. So, we wanted to note that in the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.
That’s alright. All other scriptures in the book of Psalms, either Psalm 24, Psalm 115, they continue to reemphasize this, that God created. God conceived and crafted from within himself what we now see.
Is that alright? The book of Hebrews chapter 11, I suppose verse 2 says, by faith we believe and we know that the present world we now see was what? Formed, fashioned out of what we did not see by the word of God. So, do you get to that now? So, we go ahead from that point. So, we now know that our theology is first and foremost established on the fact that there is our God who is a personality, is not a feeling.
Even though you can feel God, but God himself is not a feeling. Is that alright? Our God is not a wind. Even though when he comes, there is an earthquake, but our God himself is not an earthquake.
Is that alright? Even though fire goes before him and fire surrounds his throne, but our God himself is not fire. He’s not intangible things like wind, like water, like fire, like feelings. No.
He’s a person, reasonable person. He’s a person who calculates, who plans, and who executes his plans to details and who uses the instrumentality of his word to cause things to happen. And because he is God, we cannot, and I like to quickly say that, don’t worry yourself about wanting to say, where was God before the heavens were created? That is not important.
That is a childish question. He is God who feels all in all. And actually, nothing created can contain him.
Are you understanding? If God chooses to dwell in a house, he just constrains himself. Nothing can contain him. No house can contain him.
So when he dwells in the heart of a man, that is great humility on the part of God. He chooses to be that. Is that alright? He is omnipresent, that is, he is present everywhere at the same time.

God’s Original Concept Of Man In Ministry
Below is the Podcast audio link:
Now, I’m going to ask you to let’s read from the book of Genesis. We’ll read Genesis chapter 1 and we will refer to other scriptures that has to do with Genesis.
The story of creation is not strange to us. And so I don’t intend for us to start retelling that story. I am assuming that we have a firm grip of that aspect of the word of God.
And I believe that for you to be a minister of the gospel, you don’t have any quiet conviction that the world only came out of evolution. Could we agree together on that? That in the beginning, God. Is that alright? That at the beginning, God.
Now, that is where the word of God begins. In the beginning, God. That already proves that God did not begin.
Is that alright? He is the beginner of every beginning. But he himself never began. Our God is the cause that causes everything to be.
But he himself is not caused by anything. Our God is the self-sufficient God. That provides every sufficiency for everything either in heaven or on earth.
But he himself does not depend on anything to exist. God is God. Is that alright? There is no need to look for anything beyond Genesis chapter 1 verse 1. The beginning of wisdom is the knowledge of God.
Is that alright? If you have doubts about the fact that in the beginning, God, then I think our basis of relationship here will be faulty. So can I go ahead that our biblical basis is that God has no beginning. Is that alright? And he has no end.
And that God calls into existence those things that be not as though they were. And he did everything effortlessly. He is God.
Is that alright? Now, why did I need to emphasize that? It is impossible to speak eloquently about God, whom you think was constructed out of some philosophical ideas. Your ministry will be weak except your conviction of a personal God. A God that is a personality.

Bruised Today, Overcomers Tommorrow
Below Podcast Audio link of message:
This night, there are two passages I would like to start to exhort you with. I’m just hoping that I’ll be speaking to you very briefly and then I’ll be releasing you into prayer.
There are two passages that I want to read to you. One is God’s disposition towards you. And the second is your response.
Your deliberate response. These two passages, they look alike, but one is coming from God’s own side. The second one is coming from your own side.
And usually, every time God wants to use a man, there is God’s own aspect and then there is the man’s response. And it is when God’s disposition towards a man and the man’s response, when they jam together, when they meet together, that you begin to see great things break forth. And that’s what we’re starting tonight.
Tomorrow, the Lord will be leading us to dealing with principles. But for tonight, we will simply read a few scriptures. I’d like you to read Isaiah 42.
Now, where I want you to read is verse 3 and verse 4. A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall he not quench. He shall bring forth judgment unto truth. He shall not fail, nor be discouraged, till he has set judgment in the earth, and the eyes shall wait for his law.
While you put your hand in Isaiah 42, I now want you to turn and go to the book of Hebrews chapter 12. Verse 12, verse 13, more deliberately, but we’ll read up to 17. Can I read? Wherefore, lift up the hands which are down, and the feeble knees, and make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be torn out of the way, but let it rather be healed.
Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord. Look intelligently, lest any man fail of the grace of God, lest any root of bitterness spring in or trouble you, and thereby many be defied. Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his baphrite.
For you know how that afterward, when he would have re-inherited the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully. With what? With tears. May the Lord bless his word to our hearts, in the name of Jesus Christ.
Amen. We’re talking tonight about preparing to win. God’s disposition and your necessary response.
What is God’s plan for your life? How does God envision your future? What does God long for, by preserving you and by keeping you? What is heaven planning to make out of your life? How is God considering you? I know that you have several, several scriptures that may be streaming in your mind. Like scriptures like, I know the thoughts that I think towards you. I know the plans that I have for you.
Plans for good, and not for evil, to give you what? An expected end. God, in his deliberate choice, something that comes out of his pleasure, is constantly speaking deliberately about you. He’s speaking about what he wants to do with you.
He ordered us and said, look, turn your attention back. Because that’s where I am focusing now. But what I want to deal with tonight, is God’s own disposition and your needed response.
When we go to the book of Hebrews that we have read, just very briefly, you will notice that that chapter, the entire chapter, chapter 12, started very curiously when he said, wherefore, saying, we also are compassionate by our great witnesses. That was not what I intend to look at tonight. But when you use the word, therefore, to start, it means you need to look a little back.
