Being of Nigerian heritage, I heard this so often! Now, I can very simply in my heart know as I believe “like Father, as son”!
God The EVERLASTING sent Jesus The Essence of a Son to live as Man. We take a quick look back at Job; a servant of The Creator who worshipped his Origin in ALL his ways. A discourse transpired and Satan was given “allowance” to bring Job to his knees. God Knows ALL!!! Even before Job was born, God Knew his days.
“Everyone who is called by my name, whom I have created for my glory, whom I formed and made.” Isaiah 43:7
Glory is one of the buried treasures of lost humanity. It is an imprisoned splendor. The Purpose and the Power of God’s Glory delivers the keys for releasing that glorious life in a manifested demonstration of spiritual living and creative work.
Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in The name of The Father and of The Son and of The Holy Spirit. Matthew 28:19
