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.

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.
