#67: SALVATION PROJECT II

Hebrews 2:5-6 ( MSG ) 5.God didn't put angels in charge of this business of salvation that we're dealing with here. 6.It says in Scripture, What is man and woman that you bother with them; why take a second look their way?. Man disobeyed God and fell out of God's original plan. But God, being so mindful, kind and merciful, provided a means of reconciliation for man to reconcile back to Him ; The Salvation Project. "This is how much God loved the world: He gave his Son, his one and only Son. And this is why: so that no one need be destroyed; by believing in him, anyone can have a whole and lasting life"  John 3:16 The Salvation Project is a planned endeavor by God with the goal of delivering man from sin and eternal damnation; giving man a new life. This process was kick-started by the birth of Jesus. "It's obvious, of course, that he didn't go to all this trouble for angels. It was for people like us, children of Abraham." Hebrews 2:16. Yo...

#66: I AM, therefore you are!

Then Moses said to God, “If I come to the people of Israel and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they ask me, ‘What is his name?’ what shall I say to them?” God said to Moses, “ I Am  Who  I Am .” And he said, “Say this to the people of Israel, ‘ I Am  has sent me to you.’” Exodus 3:13&14 Sequel to the last episode of our devotional a week ago, Moses was now ready to be encountered by God after that he had come to the wit-end of his abilities. When God wanted to reveal Himself to Moses, He used a rather strange name. Nevertheless, it is custom for God not to be careless in naming ceremonies. Why then would God introduce Himself as I AM? A couple of weeks ago i was viewing a program on TBN and in their interludes, they kept repeating this advertisement or would i say, message: "I AM, therefore you are! That message struck me in my spirit. I began to understand why the name answered Moses' question of who God is. "Those who...

#65: Self Pride in Question

But Moses said to God, "who am I that I should go to Pharoah and bring the Israelites out of Egypt?" Exodus 3:11 Sometimes we forget that the Moses in this chapter of Exodus is the same Moses in the chapter 2 of Exodus. What could have happened to Moses who felt that he could save the Israelites [all by his strength and influence]? At this point God had frustrated Moses as if to squeeze every pride and esteem he had for himself and his ambition. At this point, he had lost his youth, he had lost his position of influence in the palace, he had lost his ground amongst the Israelites, there was no possible way that saving the Israelites could be possible as far as Moses was concerned, yet this was the right time that God could move through Moses. Before now, the deliverance songs and praise would have been given to Moses, but God, in His jealous nature, wanting all the glory to belong to Him, saw it pleasing to make Moses pass through many discomfort and failures until h...
