THE CHARACTER OF GOD

THE CHARACTER OF GOD. 

Written By Merry Paul

Please allow me guide your theology tonight: Jesus is the perfect explanation of God. God does not have a dual character. He is good and his mercies endure for ever.


Jesus is God,  explaining God to Man.

Invariably,  what you can't find in Jesus, you can't find in God. Jesus reveals  the solidity of God's Character, when we see Jesus,  we know that we've seen God. 


For instance Jesus was never found inflicting sickness and disease on sinners. Rather he sought opportunities to convert them. 


The prophesy that went ahead of Jesus' birth says He shall  save his people from their sins and not destroy them because of it. 


Jesus was even called the friend of sinners. He ate in Zaccheous' house, enrolled mattew in His discipleship school,  allowed the prostitute with the alabaster box to kiss, wash and perfume his feet, he discharged the woman caught in adultery, converted Saul the persecutor to Apostle Paul etc. 


The interest of God is in the salvation of men and not in their destruction. This is clearly revealed luke 9: 54-56(paraphrased) 


Jesus' disciples were pissed because the people in Jerusalem would not allow them prepare a place for Jesus to come in.   They then angrily suggested that Jesus should do what Elijah did; calling down fire to consume them as a proof that he is from God  but in verse 55 the Bible stated succinctly that Jesus turned and rebuked them, the word rebuked there is the same word with casting out devils. What warranted such rebuked?  Because his disciples were still not aware of the kind of spirit they are made of. Then He added verse 56 "For the son of man is not come to destroy lives but to save them.


The main purpose of Jesus is the salvation of men.  God doesn't kill,  steal or destroy,  that's what Satan does.  God's joy is in giving life and giving it abundantly.


To be  carnally minded is death,  but to be spiritually minded is Life and peace. 


I hope someone has been helped.

  THIS IS WHY YOU ARE NOT GETTING OPPORTUNITIES  Written By Edirin Edewor It is not your village people. Your environment determines the kind of opportunities you will get, and to the degree in which you will get these opportunities. Your environment doesn't have to only be your physical geography. It could be the people you hang out with or the kind of experiences you immerse yourself in.  There are certain opportunities you can never get unless you're in a particular city, state or country.  There are certain opportunities you will not be able to take advantage of if you don't have a passport or a valid visa.  There are certain opportunities you will have to turn down because your business isn't yet registered and/or you don't have a corporate account.  There are jobs you will not be able to take on because you have refused to open a Domiciliary account.  There are conversations you will never be able to be a part of because you are not physically present in the r
