DAY 2: THE CREATION STORY I— THE CONCEPT OF WHO GOD IS (PART ONE)

-


THE RHEMA WORD FOR TODAY
(A DAILY DEVOTIONAL WITH PREACHER SAM)

TOPIC: THE CREATION STORY I— THE CONCEPT OF WHO GOD IS (PART ONE)
DATE: 2 SEPTEMBER, 2019
BIBLE READING: GENESIS 1:1, 2
MEDITATION/MEMORY VERSE: MATTHEW 3:16, 17 (ERV)
So Jesus was baptized. As soon as he came up out of the water, the sky opened, and he saw God’s Spirit coming down on him like a dove. A voice from heaven said, “This is my Son, the one I love. I am very pleased with him.”

The Bible opens with the name of God. The Amplified Bible puts out Bible reading as, “…God (Elohim)…” Elohim is the plural form of Eloah, which refers to strength; deity. Hebrew scholars have taught that numbers are grouped into: singular (which refers to one), duo (which refers to two) and plural (which refers to more than two).
So, Elohim; which refers to persons more than two, created the heavens and the earth. Now, this number of persons are not specified here. But from our verses for meditation for today, they gave us the specific number of persons in Genesis chapter one.
‘In the beginning God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit, created the heavens and the earth.’ (Gen. 1:1).
‘Then God (Elohim) said, “Let us…”’ (Gen. 1:26).
Just as the way water can exists in three forms (solid-ice, liquid-water, and gaseous-steam). So also, our God exists in three forms (God the Father—Jehovah, God the Son—Jehoshua, and God the Holy Spirit).

 ACTION POINT: I BELIEVE THAT GOD EXISTS IN THREE WAYS, BUT HE IS ONE.
PRAYER POINT: GOD, PLEASE GRANT UNTO ME MORE UNDERSTANDING OF WHOM YOU ARE.
PERSONAL READING: REVELATIONS 22:1-5

2024: THE YEAR OF ESTABLISHMENT

Hosea‬ ‭2:23‬ ‭GNB I will establish my people in the land and make them prosper. I will show love to those who were called “Unloved”, and to those who were called “Not-my-People” I will say, “You are my people,” and they will answer, “You are our God.” The Lord is about to prosper us in all areas of our life, but He must first establish us in Him. It is until we're established in Him, our prosperity will have no root to last long. The Lord has said to us, “I will establish you.” Another area of God's establishment this year is in the area of His love. Ephesians 3:17 NIV So that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love. The Lord has said to us, “I will uproot every plant that I have not planted. And get you rooted and established in My love.” (Matt. 15:13; Eph. 3:17). Falsehood will die as Truth will thrive. Every wind of doctrine will vanish, because the full knowledge of Christ will be established.  Strange practi

 PHRONESIS DEVOTIONAL 30 DAYS DEVOTIONAL WITH PREACHER SAM September 22, 2023. Topic: TRUE RICHES Bible Reading: Matthew 6:19-34 Verse for Meditation: 1 Timothy 6:6 NLT Yet true godliness with contentment is itself great wealth. About sexual temptation, if you are struggling to break free, you must first be saved so that you can be given the Holy Spirit to empower you to live above sin. But breaking free and living constantly above sin; especially sexual sins, it take discipline and consistency. You don’t stay fit on the first day you go to the gym to work out; it takes consistent exercise and discipline to achieve that, so does exercising ourselves towards godliness (1Tim. 4:7). When you fall, you need to rise again to continue with the exercise. It was a constant practice that made that sexual habit called addiction. So you need to deliberately keep at it constantly till the appetite to sin dies. Spiritual attack is real, but what we call spiritual attack is actually a lack of knowle

I John 5:4-5 [4]For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith. [5]Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God? The Certainty of God’s Witness. Our last year theme—our subject of discussion for last year was “WALKING IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF CHRIST.” And we shared some lovely articles that correlate with that theme.
