Knowing the Omnipotent & the Power of His Glory
“These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country. And truly, if they had been mindful of the country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned. But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city.” Heb. 11:13-16
Whatever God commands must and can be accomplished only by divine power. What ever is commanded must be accomplish according to the specifications and directions given by God. It must be according to the righteousness of God. It is a common belief by many persons, that God is not that particular in his requirements, and therefore proclaim, that the way or method by which the command is carried out does not matter, only that the task is done. But is that so? In fact just to reflect on Genesis chapter two and three would indicate that God is very particular. Sin came to our world because our first parents deviated from the express commands of God.
But let it be clearly understood and firmly fixed in the mind, that for us to know God’s ways and walk according to directions, we must have another mind. We are all born the children of this world, with the mind of the prince of this world, satan controlling us. Hence, we are born not knowing God’s ways and walking contrary to his direction. We must therefore be born again.
