READ ME.....I CARRY WHAT CAN TRANSFORMED YOUR LIFE FOR GLORY! HOW TO REMEMBER GOD ALMIGHTY. ‘’Remember now thy creator in the days of thy youth” Eccle 12:1 How can somebody remember God Almighty, the [Creator] of all things? This could be the question of many! The word “Remember” gives us a clue on how to do it. Again, the word “Remember’’ speaks of returning things in their right position as there were originally. And “Remember” is defined as to keep in mind. With this understanding, Genesis 2:7 says…. the ”LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. The Almighty God went further to proved His love for man by planting….’’a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed’’Gen2:8. But, God Almighty trusted man with an instruction of life, which He said to him…’’the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day thou easteth thereof thou surely died’’ Gen 2:17. In the process of time man broke his contract of trust with God Almighty in disobedient as he… “did eat” Gen 3:6. And by his action of disobedient, God Almighty …”sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken” Gen 3:23. And through his[Adam]…. ’’disobedience many were made sinners” Rom 5:19. So by this …’’one man[Adam] sin entered into this world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned” Rom 5:12. Therefore, because of sin created by man disobedience, all men in the world were displaced from the right position with God Almighty. So Roman 3:23 says …’’all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God’’. So in Roman 3:23, these word ‘’sinned’’, ‘’fall’’, and ‘’glory’’ communicates the displacement of man from his rightful position with God Almighty. Now, sin is a nature! This nature is formed in man’s disobedient to God. And the impact of this nature causes the displacement of man from his right position in God. Also the word ‘’fall” shows that man was displaced from a position that was originally designed for him. So according to Roman 6:23: which speaks ...’’of the glory of God”, which also indicates the original place of man – that is glory. And here are the synonym of the word “GLORY’’ for the place of understanding: 1) Exaltation 2) Fame 3) Praise 4) Honor 5) Splendor 6) Admiration. Therefore, from above synonym we can now understand the life that the man(Adam) initially was operating with before the fall. He was brought in by God Almighty, into His own glory: through fellowship. Man initially was living a life of exaltation, fame, praise, honor, splendor and admiration. But he lost all the glory by the act of disobedient, which usher the formation of sin nature. And the Lord Jesus Christ brought back this life of glory to man, for John 1:14 says …’’we beheld His glory’’. And Hebrew 1:3 says He is the …’’brightness of God’s glory’’. And in John 10:10 the Lord Jesus Christ said….’’I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly’’. So the life of glory is the life the Lord Jesus brought for all men. In John 3:16, the Lord Jesus Christ reechoes its by saying….’’for God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting(eternal) life’’. And roman 6:23 says …’’God freely gives eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord’’ (BBE). This eternal life that God gives in Christ Jesus is a life of exaltation, fame, praise, honor, splendor and admiration – the life of glory. So, in John 17:22, the Lord Jesus Christ Himself testify of this life by saying…’’ the glory which thou gavest me I have given them’’. Now, to remember God Almighty is to be born again. To be born again is not a fleshy thing but a spiritual recreation of a man’s spirit in Christ Jesus. It is not a process of going back to a woman womb to be born again. This was one of the question of Nicodemus to the Lord Jesus Christ, saying how can a man be born again? But, the Lord Jesus Christ in their dialogue said, in respond to Nicodemus question: …’’That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit’’ John 3:6. That’s means that the body of man is a product of a man from the dust, which is energize by God Almighty to reproduce itself. But, the spirit of man is the product of God Almighty, clothed in a body. So Hebrew 12:9 says God Almighty is the…”Father of spirits. That is why Ecclesiastics 12:7 says …’’Then shall the dust[body] return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it’’. So God Almighty seeks to make a total change of a man’s spirit. He start from the inside of man{spirit] to his outside[body]. This is born again – the regeneration of man’s spirit. That is why, in Ezekiel 36:26, God Almighty said…’’I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you’’. And this ‘’new spirit’’ is possible in Jesus, the Christ. So 1corin 15:45 says …’’the last Adam[Jesus, the Christ] was made a quickening spirit’’. And 1corin 5:17 says ….’’Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away: behold all things are become new”. Therefore, the new spirit is a new creature, who is a man of glory – the born again. A man of exaltation, fame, praise, honor, splendor and admiration – the life of glory. I went into details, to explained how man got the sin nature, his displacement from glory – losing fellowship with God Almighty and the recreation of man’s spirit in Christ Jesus, which is born again: so that all men and youths, will have understanding of the need to remember God Almighty. The death, buried and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ: made it possible for man to remember God Almighty – which is born again. In John 14:6, the Lord Jesus Christ said …’’I am the way, the truth and the life: no man cometh to the father, but by me’’. We come to God Almighty, who is the father of all spirits through Jesus Christ: where we fellowship with Him and function in His glory – His presence that makes the different. In 1corin 1:9 says Man is called to …’’fellowship’’ with God Almighty, through Jesus Christ. Then my humble question to all youths and all men is, do you want the glorious life? A new life of glory – which is of exaltation, fame, praise, honor, splendor and admiration. Then remember God Almighty – be born again. You will be a wonder to many generations! An amazement to many! No wonder Peter said to those who are born again: who have remember God Almighty…’’you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous[glorious] light’’. This is awesome – glory to God Almighty and praise forevermore: for His wonderful work. Now, if you are not born again ¬– ‘’if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your in heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved’’ Roman 10:9. And if you have done that – then you are born again. Congratulation! THIS IS ONE CHAPTER FROM MY BOOK WHAT YOUTHS NEED TO KNOW
