KNOW YOUR GOD

Welcome back dear reader, I hope we are getting along fine. Don’t forget to drop your comment(s) so that we can grow together in knowledge. From the last post we talked about expatiating on the three sub-topics: know your God, know yourself, and have vision. Today we will start up with the first.
Know Your God

In spite of your previous knowledge or what you might have heard in time past, there is only one God, the maker of heaven and earth and everything in-between, both visible and invincible to the human eye. What makes Him “the God” is the fact that He is the uncreated creator (don’t let that confuse you now). Every thing or being was created by Him, everything, including ‘these other gods’

Every god demands worship, hence, money, beauty, and fame are regarded as gods. This is because consciously or unconsciously, people worship these things. As a matter of fact, anything that takes precedence in your live, thoughts and actions that takes up your attention, desires, emotion and most of your time can be regarded as your god. So, leisure, food, work, sex, T.V and /or a man- could be your boss, parent(s), relative, or even your spouse or children could be your god.

As earlier mentioned, every god demands serious worship and followership, but ultimately, every thing or/and being must bow down in worship to the Almighty god. So, the questions are: who is your god? Who is the direct recipient of your worship?

Lest we forget, this piece is not intended to incite but to shake your thinking. The reason we have arrived here at this point is because we have discovered that as products we want to know the manufacturer. This will help us know how where to fit in, what to do and where to go, and ultimately discover our purpose.

Who is He?
He is the creator.
He is the maker of heaven and earth.
He is Almighty.
He sits on the circles of the earth.
He is so mighty, from heaven his garment overflows the earth.
He measures out the waters of the earth in the hollow of His hand.
He weighs the mountains on scales and the hills on a balance.
He says a thing and it is established.
Angels bow before Him in worship day and night.
He is from everlasting to everlasting.
He has been from the beginning and is till the end of our time.

His Attributes

He is kind.
He is merciful.
He is powerful.
He is awesome.
He is magnificent.
He is God of the whole world yet is interested in every detail of our lives.
He is interested in who our parents are, what race or colour we are, and what school or college we attend.
He celebrates with us in our successes and is sad we are.
Our losses are His pain.

We must try all we can to know this God. He is worthy of our worship, praise thanksgiving.

We will talk some more in the next post.


Stay blessed
