TEACHING ON THE GROW TO GLOW INT’L GROUP PAGE – INVITED
So…
Sweet HolySpirit of God we bless you for this precious moment and the grace to teach your people through me. We receive with meekness in our hearts, the engrafted words of God, which wields the capacity save, deliver, rescue, and help our dying soul. We ask that beyond words, our hearts are spoken to, and beyond this medium, you would touch right here and now where we are.
For in Jesus name we pray
PSALMS 8:4-8
4. What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?
5. For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.6. Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet:
7. All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field;
8. The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.
MY EMPHASIS through this Teaching would be on 4&5.
In the Original translation, the word used for angels in vs 5 is “Elohim” I.e. the God head(Father, Son and the HolySpirit). I will be addressing this topic from two angles.
First I’d be addressing the Nature of Man as it pertains to Spiritual Positioning.
Second, I’d be addressing the Command laid on man as it pertains to dealing with women.
On account of the first. And sequel to my highlight of Psalms 8. I’d like everyone of us to know that the rate of Man’s Spirituality makes it easy for him to what and all he wishes to be in line with God’s plan.
Man is the only entity in the universe that has had the privilege of being crowned with a crown, and not only being crowned alone, but being crowned by his creator.
Psalms 8:5 says: And you have Crowned him with Glory and Honour* So the kind of crown Man wears is not such made form hands but such made with Glory and Honour.
When the Psalmist got to an understanding, he did not say: *Who is Man? He said What is Man?
It is us who have by inexperienced Intellectual dictates called ourselves human beings. But we are “Beings“. It is our body that is human being, we are such being among many being and Creature of God, that is why the Psalmist had to ask: “what is Man: what kind of Creature or being is this.? That you have decide to crown (Coronate) him yourself.
Revelation says there are four beings before the throne. One’s face is like a Eagle, another like a Calf, another like a Lion and another like a Man. So Man is a Kind of beast… But only that this beast, this creature is tamed by God through the function of God’s Glory and Honour on him.
This is why when a Man looses his Glory or Honour, he is nothing more than a beast or animal. An example is Nebuchadnezzar, when God took away his Glory he was like a beast in the woods for 7 years.
Scientist understands a fragment of this, that’s why they say we are higher animals. But they do not understand the Mystery of our kind of being.
So I would like to take us on a journey to understand the Spiritual dignity and hierarchical composition of this entity called: Man.
Our God is so glorious and wonderful, and his Magnitude knows no bound. He then want to express himself in such a way that when he sees his Express, He can come into terms with how mighty He is. So he created the universe and created everything that inhabits it. And for the sake of Fuller expression He created Man in his own Image. And gave Dominion to man over all what He had.
So that as God will rule in heaven and rule the whole universe, Man likewise would rule the earth. This is why Psalms 115:16 says:
The heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD’S: but the earth hath he given to the children of men.
The hierarchy then is this. We have two realms, the realm of the Spirit and the Realm of the Physical.
In the realm of the Spirit, we have:
GOD(Father, Son & Spirit)
MAN
4 BEASTS
ELDERS
SERAPH
CHERUBIM
ARCHANGELS
ANGELS
PRINCIPALITIES
e.t.c.
In The realm of the Physical we have:
MAN and
BEASTS (Animals).
…………………………………………………………………………
God expects of us that our Dominion on Earth would be facilitated to how much we agree with the plans of our God in the realm of the Spirit.
And for those who do not believe in the concept of glory… There is Glory, and it is a part of God’s magnificence saddled on Man.
That’s why when a man glory is taken away, such persons hardly prosper on Earth. WHY? Because the glory is the crown recognized by the Forces of the want to permit us to function fully. It is like a “Legitimacy“. It is the mechanism that makes the elements of earth agree with the dictates of Man.
So as a MAN; Spiritual being that we are, we must be able to utilize everything for the Kingdom. A shadow of this happened in the old testament. I.e. the relinquishing of power of God to Man.
In the book of Genesis, when Pharaoh gave Joseph his ring and told him you can. Have everything in the land but my Throne. Genesis 41:40-44
So also we are permitted to have everything except God’s throne. This magnitude of benevolence is what the Psalmist saw and cried out.. what is Man ?
I once put out a quote as inspired by the Holy ghost:
Honour is something all men are born with, it cannot be taken from you, nor can it be granted. It must only not be lost, (Psalms 8:4-5).
No man can do anything to add glory or honour to himself, we.must only strive in our characters and relationship with me not to loose it. For it is a part of us.
When we understand this Spiritual Positioning of ours that only God is superior to us in identity, we would without apology take charge of the earth and it’s resources.
On the Second account of Man: addressing the Command laid on man as it pertains to relationship and dealing with women
THE COMMANDS
1 Peter 3:7 Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered.
Ephesians 5:25
Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
If you notice, the Bible did not command the lady to love. WHY? Because by default ladies are designed to love. But by default, men are designed to take responsibility. Just last week I was telling some individuals that the love a man can have for a lady is such that overflows from God, because by nature, a Man cannot love.
In the garden of Eden, Man was busy with responsibility and God brought and help-meet; Eve, and even after that, when the devil came, Man, Adam had gone to work again to attend to responsibility and then the devil interacts with Eve.
And the Bible recorded in
1Timothy 2:14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.
That the Man was not deceived.
I do tell my Lady something and it’s this:
Do not pray that I should not see beautiful ladies,
Do not pray that I should love you,
Do not pray that I should not hate you.
But pray that My heart is right with God. Only then can I truly love you.
We must understand that even when in a relationship, we must maintain constant connection with God, because we are designed to be attentive and attracted to Busyness, to Responsibility. And when the home is not favourable we find it easier to look out for something to keep us busy.
But the Kind of love we dispense to them is and should be such that stemmed out if a place of relationship with God, this is why Ephesians 5;25 said even as Christ also love the church. For cannot try love with God.
So I implore us. Great men of this generation, let us correct the mistakes of our fathers on marriage through our connection to God.
You see, ladies can be annoying and vexing buy according to 1peter 3:7 we must deal and dwell with them according to knowledge, the knowledge of God..WHY? So that our prayers would not be hindered
The Crux of our being “Manly” both in taking Dominion and in addressing relationship is resident in our Talk, Walk and Staying with God.
I will stop here, so we can entertain questions… Thanks you and God bless.
