THE GOD OF ALL POSSIBILITIES

   

 "But Jesus beheld them and said unto them, with men this is impossible, but with God ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE". Mathew 19:26
Many Christians who claim to know God, most often in times of trouble, trials and persecutions begin to wonder whether God really exists and whether H is with them or even looking at them.

In this article" the God of all possibilities" we are going to take a closer at who the God we claim to know and serve is.
Someone may ask" what is or Who is God?. Well, I also once asked the same questions despite being born and bred in a christian home.
In my quest to answer this question I found out that both the Hebrew and Greek words translated God in th bible all point to one meaning and thus " God is a self existent/ eternal being ,the creator,controller and supreme in authority above all things.
Now let's take time to explain the key words one after the other.
  • Self Existent : Self- a persons personality / character that makes them different from other people.  Existent- real or natural not imagined or invented. Hence SELF EXISTENT means to to be real or in existence without dependency on anything or anybody for survival or life. We can deduce from the above definition that God is a being that exists and depends on nobody nor anything for survival.
  • Eternal Being: A being whose existence will never no an end.
  • The controller : Someone who manages  or directs. (Genesis 1-31)
  • Supreme in Authority : Supreme- highest in rank or position.  Authority - the power to give orders to people. (Exodus 3:14, Isaiah 3:1, Isaiah 44:6). hence supreme in authority means the highest in rank or position to give orders to people.
 Now let me take you back to the beginning of creation. "In the beginning,God created the heaven and earth. 2. and the earth was was without form and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters". (Genesis 1:1-2). From this verse we conclude that before there was a beginning there existed a God who commenced the beginning.
       In conclusion, we can boldly say that God is a being whose existence is not dependent on anyone or anything, neither has He a beginning nor an end, He is the one who manages and controls everything and finally His  authority is beyond or superior to every other authority whether of a prophet or a leader of a religion.
