These are some of the highlights picked up from the Bible exposition that took place on youtube on the 22nd of May 2021. The Bible exposition kicked off with a brother asking if there is only one God, speaking from
Genesis 1:26 Then God said, “Let us make humankind in our image, according to our likeness; and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the wild animals of the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth.
We can see that the word used in the above verse is referring to more than one entity, signifying the presence of more. Here God the Father was referring to the other 2 Godhead, the Son and Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit have the ability to create life and we can find evidence of it in
Luke 1:35 And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.
Jesus also have the power to create and we can find evidence of it in the book of
Acts 3:15 And killed the Prince of life, whom God hath raised from the dead; whereof we are witnesses.
Here Jesus is been referred to as the Prince of Life, meaning He is the Giver of life, everyone lived because of the creator of life.
We can see evidence of this when Christ raise Lazarus from the dead. But raising the dead is an inert power given to all christians. You don’t need to be the creator of life to be able to raise the dead, Peter and apostle Paul raise the dead up. So as Christians we have the ability through Christ to raise the dead.
Final thoughts on the question was, there is not just one creator, they are 3 in 1. And it’s difficult for us to wrap our heads around it, just as its Difficult to wrap our head about our own existence.
I pray we stay guided by the Holy Spirit to empower us perform our duties as followers of Christ.
Another brother asked a question, if he needs to ask to God whether to return to his family in his hometown. Brother Eli went in to point out that, it is ideal for a husband to be with his wife as we can see in 1 peter 3:7 Husbands, in the same way be considerate as you live with your wives, and treat them with respect as the weaker partner and as heirs with you of the gracious gift of life, so that nothing will hinder your prayers." ... Treat her as you should so your prayers will not be hindered.
You should be there to support her not just emotionally, physically, financially and spiritually. God really wants the couple to live together. If you are away for too long, your wife might get tempted by another man, leading to the destruction of your home. 1 timothy 5:8 Anyone who does not provide for their relatives, and especially for their own household, has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.
