Well
many know of a God who is not the Lord and the father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Many
have the idea of a harsh God spirited with anger and wrath and demanding of
undivided loyalty.
When
John saw Jesus he says this is the one from the father full of grace and truth.
You who want to see the face of GOD. We who seek to be men after God’s heart ,
what kind of God do we worship?
Is
he a God full of love or a God full of rage and expectation, for many say Great
is your faithfulness oh God by mouth but what they actually mean is great is
their performance to earn acceptance points towards God. He is Abba father; behold the proximity.
John 1:14 The
Word became flesh and blood, and moved into the neighborhood. We saw the glory
with our own eyes, the one-of-a-kind glory, like Father, like Son, Generous
inside and out, true from start to finish.(the message)
John decides to enter the bush straight and
introduce us to the beginning where there was the word, the word was with God
and the word was God.
He then tells us that the word became flesh and
dwelt amongst us. The beauty of God is in his proximity. He is not far from us,
he is Emmanuel. Paul testified of the same to the pagans in Athens by proclaiming that in him we live,
move and have our being.
The greatness of our God is that he moved into our
neighborhood. God refused to be God without us. Indeed we are his offspring. He
invites us to partake in his divine nature
2nd peter 1:4-5 We were also given absolutely terrific
promises to pass on to you - your tickets to participation in the life of God
after you turned your back on a world corrupted by lust. 5 So don't
lose a minute in building on what you've been given, complementing your basic
faith with good character, spiritual understanding,
Think of a God who gives such terrific promises.
Actually all of the promises of God are yes and through us amen is uttered to
the glory of God.
Think of a God generous with love and life and I guarantee
you your life will never be the same.
John 1:16-18We all live off his generous bounty, gift after gift after
gift. 17 We got the basics from Moses, and then this exuberant giving and
receiving, This endless knowing and understanding - all this came through
Jesus, the Messiah. 18 No one has ever seen God, not so
much as a glimpse. This one-of-a-kind God-Expression, who exists at the very
heart of the Father, has made him plain as day. Thunder in the Desert(the
message)
We live by his resources. The glory of the father
is by providing for his children. When the children are fattened by the
resource of the father, the father’s heart is blessed. Our father desires that
we live by his resources. When we say that we are the righteousness of God the
holiness of God, its because we are living by his resource.
God has made his heart as plain as day. He is a God
of Giving and we are endless receivers. We give glory to our father by receiving
his abundance forever. God has one expression, one face, one expectation,
fullness of grace and truth.
He is a father itching with numerous love for us.
When we see that we are filled with wow moments. We see what the father sees.
We experience what God experiences, joy in seeing us redeemed, what a blessedness
