THE VAULT OF THE PUZZLE
The vault of the puzzle of God’s wisdom I have found by the Help of the Holy Spirit in these three scriptural references, Matthew 11: 27, John 14: 9 and Colossians 1: 15.
Matthew 11: 27 (ESV)
All things have been handed over to me by my Father, and no one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and anyone to whom the Son chooses to reveal Him.
John 14: 9 (ESV)
Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long and you still do not know me, Philip? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father?
And finally,
Colossians 1: 15 (ESV)
He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.
The wisdom of God entails the entire details, from the tail to the head, without any detachment, but perfectly fitting in the bits in values to produce the ground and figure where the true image comes alive. This does not end at the aspect of God that hides the revelation, which we are supposed to know and that detail is who Jesus truly is.
I
I AM
Who is Jesus?
Who is Jesus to you?
Is Jesus the Son of the Living God or God?
God had to still introduce Himself to operate in the heart of man to change man’s ideology of Him because of the void found in the heart of man. Void is what defines the self, but the triangle of reality begins with a unit statement, I, then the introductory statement, because of the formlessness of the earth and that statement is I AM. The void led man into a thought apart from the thought of God questioning God’s authority and because of this God had to repent for man’s sake (Genesis 6: 6). The revelation of thought questioning the authority of God in Psalm 8: 4 is a clear pointer that something opposed the position of a man with God. This thought was made crystal clear in Hebrews 2: 6, which reads, “But one in a certain place testified, saying, “What is the man that You are mindful of him, or the son of man that You take care of him?”, so the man was dragged into judging God.
Genesis 3: 12
Then the man said, “The woman whom You gave to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I ate.
So because of this, God had to come down to be with a man like Immanuel, which translate to mean “God with us”, since man said, it was what God gave that made him to disobeyed him. Man, dragged God into human emotion and the ache of the LORD (a passion of the cross) birthed in God to come and save man from His fall, so do not get things twisted to misinterpret in an attempt to interpret the revelation of the person of Christ as the Son of the living God. I hope this is clear to you.
If the only options are, Son of the Living God or God, who is Jesus?
The wisdom of God entails the mind of Christ and the mind of Christ is simply the drive of God’s will with men who have given their all for the course of truth and have yielded their hearts to doing nothing but the perfect will of God.
You can never understand the wisdom of God if your thinking is not all correct, by this, you can never reach perfect truth if your thinking is not all right. This means that your thinking must be ALL-RIGHT, for you to be all right in faith.
The wisdom of God reveals that we can do nothing on our own, but this is only true when if we are not helped by God. Moreover, for this singular reason, we must deliberately cultivate the right attitude of gratitude, because of God’s faithfulness.
Many Christians are just like Lot whose selfish interest led him into a corrupt land that was ordained for destruction, and this is what happens when we choose a way that seems right (Proverbs 16: 25).
Many Christians still think faith in God is a thing of work, and end up wearing the gown of eye-service, always trying to please and get praises from men, even when their lifestyle does not align with the wholesome pattern of God’s Word. The truth is and would ever be, as it has always been that we have no faith in God because the faith we have is a gift of God by grace, not that we deserve it. The reason why we still consider more carnal options is that we still have not gotten to a level of faith in God. This is the level where we can put our absolute trust in the sure Word of God and that is why, a little conspiracy from the pit of hell can drag us into panic, to make situations that should be stopped just by the spoken word of faith, now become the god we talk more about. Why do we overemphasize the common plague more than God?
Can a man be perfect or blameless?
The perfection of a man in love.
If a man cannot be perfect, scripture will not say, “Be ye perfect…”
Perfection is what defines blamelessness and uprightness. We will see men in scripture that lived a perfect life. A perfect life is a life that has been able to suppress the pull and drag of flesh. However but in all of these, the men whom God has used as an example to us never compromised their stand in God, which implies, perfection is of God, not of man. When we allow God to take the drive in our life, we will live a perfect and upright life.
Scripture in Genesis 6: 9 stated that Noah was just, perfect in his generations and this was because he walked with God. You cannot have God who is righteous and upright living inside of you (John 17: 23) and you will not be upright. The job was also a perfect and just man and this was because he feared and revered God and as a result of this, he shunned evil because he knows evil to him is an unwelcoming task unto God (Job 1:1). You cannot have a God who is perfect in knowledge with you and you will not be perfect and upright (Job 36: 4).
Matthew 5: 48
Therefore, you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.
You cannot be perfect when you are still selfish, because if you are selfish, you cannot let go of that thing that will keep not from perfection. Perfection is without the weight of this world and lusts is the greatest weight that will never make a man attain perfection.
It is so unfortunate that we are living in a generation where the perfect (light) has come, but we are still dwelling in the part, because of our self-gain motives (1 Corinthians 13: 10). Because of our motives, when we say, “Old things have passed away and behold, all thing have become new”, we will still end up returning to those things we know for sure are old, because we know if we do away with them, we will not get some benefits apart from the blessings of God. We choose the blessings of men because we would always want men to come under our grip. If a particular ideology is a part, we need to get the whole, and in the whole, we will get the full revelation wherein there is perfection. God’s Word is so perfect, such that if we use a particular scripture for our selfish intention, He will certainly expose the mole, with time, when the eyes of the people become open to knowledge.
The lie is a mole until you trace it is properly, with its seed destroyed with perfect truth; it will certainly wreck the entire system as it will affect the dynamics contrarily.
Perfection is not in faith and hope, but in the greatest of the triplet, called love and God is love.
Man must function in faith, the church which is the union of men must function in hope because in hope is faith and the church without stain, wrinkle or blemish must function in level. All these are the dimension of advancement because the first term in the sequence that calls forth faith has to do with our relationship with the God who is perfect and true and this relationship is what guarantees our confession of who He is, which connects us to hope of glory to fully declare the testimony of Jesus, which is the spirit of prophesy (Isaiah 9: 6), where the true church will now in due time declare who Jesus truly is, as John 3: 16 will have its revelation hinged on 1 Timothy 2: 5 and 6 and we will know that the Son that God gave, was only a symbolism of the man Christ Jesus who gave Himself as a ransom for all men, but this truth was kept for the right and proper time and that is why it is called the testimony of the saints of God.
The PowerPoint of every man that will be presented perfectly is Christ, by this I mean, every man must be presented perfect in Christ Jesus (Colossians 1: 28) and we need to know that there is a working which works in us mightily to perfection and that working is the grace of God.
