“How can Jesus be both God and God’s Son?”—was a
question that was posed at me about six years ago. Though I was a strong and
well versed believer on the deity of Jesus Christ, what this group of people
argued about got me thinking. It made me want to study the bible more
concerning the subject of Jesus’ deity. That group wanted to dismiss the fact
that Jesus is God. They taught that He is just smaller than God and is a little
god.
“Is He God or is He God’s Son?”—the question kept on
pondering me. As I continuously contemplated on the issue, the Holy Spirit, who
always guides us into all truth, rubbed a certain thought on my spirit, “He is
both God and God’s Son.”
I was so excited; I had gotten a revelation. I had
been enlightened. “But how is that so, Holy Spirit?”— I wanted some explanation
and some scripture verses to support that. Accordingly, I engaged myself into a
period where I prayerfully ‘searched the scriptures’ trusting the Holy Spirit
would reveal His secrecies. As an answer to my prayer, the unknown truths were
revealed; John 1 verses 1 and 14 came to light in the eyes of my spiritual
understanding.
John 1:1 says, “In the beginning was the Word, the
Word was with God and the Word was God.” Now the ‘Word’ here is God Himself,
right? If you leap over into verse 14 you read, “And the Word (that is, God)
became flesh and……we beheld his glory as the glory of the only begotten (Son)
of God.” John 1:14 (Parenthesis mine)
You see; when God became a man in the person of Jesus,
that’s when He became ‘the Son of God’. Jesus Christ is God who made Himself
the Son of God. He is both God and God’s Son. Howbeit, in this article my main
objective is not to explain the deity of Christ but to show you how you can
change your life through this revelation. A more detailed teaching about the
deity of Christ is found in my book, “The Three That Are One”.
I want to talk about what I call, “The God-Man Union”.
When God became flesh He was made 100% a human being, and while at the same
time was 100% God. Him becoming a man was a sign to mankind that God had come
to unite with them. God, in the person of Jesus Christ, came to live on earth;
and because He was a God-man, He would heal the sick, cast out devils, walk on
water, raise the dead, multiply bread, and would speak to the raging wind such
that his disciples would ask, “Who is this man?” In other words they said,
“What type of a man is this who can function like God?”
Little did the disciples knew that Jesus had come to
show and give them a new type of life. Jesus was a man who had the DNA of God
in Him. He was a God-man and He wanted that very same life to be in everyone on
earth. It’s a pity that most Christians don’t know how to take advantage of
this life—the God kind of life. They still like to live the ordinary life they
received from their parents. That’s not God’s will. God wants you to have His
life.
This life is in every Christian. Through Christ we
have been made superior beings on earth. We should function like God here on
earth. It’s about time that we begin to speak to situations to change. It’s
about time that we begin to heal the sick, to raise the dead and to perform
miracles in our homes and workplaces.
No one should die of HIV if you are there. As a
Christian you are a saviour in your own world. You carry God; when you show up solution
should show up, hope should show up, life should show up. You are the salt of
the earth. Jesus expects you to be doing everything He ever did. You have been
made a God-man. You are no more ordinary. Say, “I refuse to be ordinary! I have
been created for glory and virtue!”
This world is getting corrupted day by day. Even
nature itself is being corrupted; regions that used to yield enough rainfall
are now becoming dry lands. In almost the whole world people are unceasingly
confessing that things are getting worse by the day; children are becoming
wilder.
But the bible says, “The creation is earnestly waiting
for the manifestation of the sons of God.” (Romans 8:19). The corrupted world is waiting for you sons
and daughters of God. It is waiting for you to give it life; to prophecy good
to it. When ordinary men of the world are crying and are fearful of the future,
don’t cry with them, but rather speak life to them. You are a God-man.
The bible says, “When men are cast down you shall say,
‘there is a lifting up.’” (Job 22:29) You are a God-man and you are supposed to
function like God on earth.
God changed my thinking when I got this revelation. It
is a life changing revelation and it grows by the day.
It is true—you
have been united with God in Christ. You are a god-man on this earth. Begin to
shine.
