WHOSE IMAGE? 2

Text : Matthew 22:21

*They say unto him, Caesar's. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's.* 

Today, we shall be looking at the things that are God's which you must give back to Him. You must know that God is not interested in the things of Caesar. The things of Caesar will perish and fade away with this world.

The things of God are those things that transcends this age. They are eternal. Every man on earth has the things of God in him. God has created every man in His image and likeness. Gen. 1:26. One of His things in man is the soul which was once made a living soul through God's breath of life. 
_And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul._ Genesis 2:7.

Man lost God's life when he fell in the garden, the living soul died and man  was alienated from God. The soul which was once living can no longer respond to God. Devil stole, destroyed and killed man to the point that  every imagination of of the thoughts of his heart was evil continually. Gen. 6:5.

Your soul and the things(Mind, Emotion and Will) contained therein belong to God. God therefore would have you render all of your soul to Him. Praise God! You have been quickened by simply believing and  confessing Jesus as your Lord and Saviour. (Rom. 10:9-10), but God still wants to own the whole of your soul content. He wants your Mind to be totally transformed. Rom. 12:2, *He wants your Will to do His Will and your Emotion to express His heart's desire continually.* 

To know that you are yet to give God all the things that are His; check how quick you are willing to respond to His instructions, Check the expressions of your emotions towards God, check your reasoning. Have you submitted ALL to God? Are they in alignment to God? Are they serving God or serving the devil?

Until the whole of your soul become purged by experiencing the quickening that takes place in your spirit at salvation, you will not be able to give to God the things that are His.
  *Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with _all_ thy heart, and with _all_ thy soul, and with _all_ thy mind.* Matthew  22:37.

 *God wants ALL of You so you can get ALL of Him.* 



Bible Reading: Genesis 1:26-31.


 *PRAYER FOCUS* 

1. Lord, I committ and offer my life to you afresh, cause me to rediscover the likeness and image I was created in through Christ Jesus.

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portray...

WAY MAKER-2

Text: Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing: now it shall spring forth: shall ye not know it?  I will even make a way in the wilderness,  and rivers in the desert. God promised that He will do a new thing for you, and that He will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. He has done this before, and He will do it again even in your own life.  When the children of Israel left Egypt, the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them, encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.(Exodus 14:9). Just like anyone would react, the Isrealites became so fearful because there is neither way forward nor back for them to escape. Before them was the red sea, behind them were the Egyptian armies. They became perplexed and began to murmur against Moses. It is possible you are also in a situation like the Israelites- No way forward, and no way behind. Things may appear like you are ...

BEWARE OF DOGS

Text :  Philippians 3:2. Beware of the dogs! Beware of the evil workers! Beware of the mutilators! Usually, when you see the inscription "BEWARE OF DOGS", you instantly know there's a wild or trained dog around the corner, hence, the need to beware.  However, when God says 'Beware of dogs,' He wasn't actually referring to dogs as in 'animals' but to animals in human skin. Note that this caution was given to believers against other so-called  believers.  That is, some people within the church that we refer to as brothers and sisters are actually operating in the capacity of dogs.Though fellow worshippers in the church are called brothers and sisters, but if they behave like wild animals, know that they are dogs in humans skin- BEWARE. Matthew  7:6 says *Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.*  Essentially, dogs don't have capacity to r...
