PREFACE

An artist creates the graphical knowledge of his purpose. An architect designs based on architectural insight and understanding of structural requirements. Software goes through various configuration management and procedures. Students graduate when all academic requirements are honestly accomplished. The pastor and reverend fathers preach based on their understanding of the Holy Scripture. The knowledge of that which is set to accomplish has to be understood.

We all have a system that we must go through with obedience, endurance, and perseverance to accomplish our purpose. Not everyone who goes through this process achieves their purpose. Purpose must be accomplished with honesty.

In a life time, we go through several implementation phases and a number of laws: natural law, manmade doctrine, or ecclesiastical belief, to accomplish something tangible. Accomplishments may be positive or negative. Positive accomplishments are characterized by perseverance, obedience, and endurance. Negative accomplishment still represents an accomplishment, but lacks depth—either the desire to achieve or spiritual perspective behind the desire to succeed.

Knowledge, understanding, and honesty are essential elements of all accomplishments. The three elements together are critical to success and useless without one another. An artist relies on his knowledge and understanding of his purpose to create an honest reflection of his vision. The same applies to the architect or software developer.

As believers, we struggle to know our spiritual and divine being, the awareness of the person we truly are due to lack of knowledge, understanding, and honesty. The Holy Book tells us from the beginning (Genesis) to the end (Revelation) about our own divinity. Few people are aware of the wonderful and divine qualities of being. Perhaps those who are aware don’t have a complete understanding of them; therefore, they cannot convey this truth to others, while the ones who do have an understanding decline to share it with fellow beings in an attempt to protect themselves from repudiation, ridicule and rebuke for speaking the truth. Every day, our wisdom diminishes because knowledge, understanding, and honesty regarding human divinity is not transferred to the masses.

The Holy Book says:

Let us make man in our image, in our likeness and let them rule—over all the creatures that move along the ground.

He will bring glory to me by taking from what is mine and making it known to you.

All that belongs to the Father is mine. That is why I said the spirit will take from what is mine and make it known to you.

These statements define the human inheritance for us as expressed by the Holy Scripture. Into the depth of these statements is hidden wonderful wisdom that very few can perceive.

God made mankind in His image and likeness and then deemed us worthy of His fellowship. The God, who socialized with Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, is the same God today. Christ owns the Father’s belongings. He gives Man all of these belongings through the Holy Spirit. Humanity should know all that God gave to Christ in spirit. What is Christ’s is, therefore, for everybody, and we have not claimed these divine attributes.

While I expect numerous rebuttals or repudiation from the world about this book. It is necessary to convey to you the wisdom behind the divine awareness of yourself so that you may know and develop spiritually and physically from that wisdom for no man knows everything. When we share truthfully, the wisdom propagates.

True wisdom is in God’s province, and only God can give that wisdom to those who ask and believe they will receive. Wisdom was given before and after the day Man fell from glory. Today, the book of wisdom is the Bible. The Bible is God’s word. His word is wisdom. However, just reading the Bible may not give you wisdom. You have to read the Bible with thoughtfulness and ask for the perception of that wisdom from God through Christ. The Bible was, is and will always be the book of wisdom.

God’s word is the Bible written through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. The Bible is full of God’s wisdom. As the Bible is written through the Holy Spirit, then the Holy Spirit knows all wisdom in the Bible. Christ sent the Holy Spirit to make known to us all things that belong to the Father. The Father is God, and words in the Bible are his own.

We must, therefore, ask for wisdom and guidance in studying the word of God. This is one request that God will always honor without delay. The gift of wisdom is not just for those who hold doctorate degrees or those savvy in technology. As a matter of fact, even a child who studies a children’s Bible can obtain wisdom. The word of God, studied under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, is the only source of true wisdom.

We learn about the birth of Christ, His life and what He did during His short ministry from church attendance and preaching, prayer meetings, bible study meetings, Sunday school lessons, from television evangelism and so on. Rarely are we taught ‘how’ He performed His miracles. People and authors who got close to teaching or writing how Christ performed His miracle were labeled occultists, and their teaching occultism. Wisdom is discernment and astuteness, the understanding that reverences from thoughtful acumen in the attributes of God. Men have mind, brain, consciousness, heart, and humility to use in the pursuit of God’s wisdom. Therefore, anyone who can teach with the discernment of Holiness, how Christ did what He did, has the sanctified wisdom given to do so. Truth is bare and cannot be construed to mean dishonesty or fraud.

What value then is it to me if I know all about the birth of Christ, His life history but not how He performed His miracles and conveyed His teachings to the masses? Christ came in the flesh so that humanity could emulate His ways, assuring the continued glorification of God’s name to infinity. Does that mean He cannot come as God himself and accomplish His objective with all His mighty power? Yes He can, but instead He came in the flesh so we can be convinced of being able to do like Him who came in the same image and likeness as stated in Genesis.

He said that with little faith we can do all that He did and more than He has done. Greater things are not only one thing; it is everything. Apostle Peter healed sick people and Apostle Paul did the same. Before he was stoned to death, Stephen saw Heaven, and Phillip was in numerous places within minutes rather than within days. These people had the knowledge, understanding and wisdom it takes to do all that Jesus Christ did. Christ came in the same image and likeness as mankind did and had the same Holy Spirit as mankind has, yet he said that mankind can do all that he did and more.

Preaching that lacks wisdom of Christ’s performances has no value to claim discernment of God’s attributes. We see this method of preaching every day. It is preaching because it is vocational and not meant to instill or impart wisdom of any kind. Thoughtful consideration of God’s word is missing in most of this preaching because it is not teaching. Christ was never called a preacher, but Rabbi which in Hebrew language means teacher.

Christ knew this was coming and promised the gift of the Holy Spirit that comes from the Father through Christ to teach in wisdom that which preaching and evangelism omitted in teaching. The Holy Spirit is Godhead and sits on the Infinite Council of Eternal Deliberations (The council of the three Godhead). The task of the Holy Spirit is teaching the word of God that was also written by Him. The Holy Spirit will not teach you unless you humbly ask for wisdom and show eagerness to learn or be trained.

The Bible is the word of God. If God himself (The Holy Spirit) is available to teach His words, why allow humanity, who needs wisdom themselves, to preach the Bible? Why not accept teaching by the author of the Bible? I am not saying that pastors, priests, and reverend fathers are not relevant people. They can give a lot of guidance regarding the good things of God, and they are the appointed authorities as the head of our individual churches and must be respected.

However, there is no need to rely on them to teach you the word of God. The Holy Spirit is the teacher of the word of God, and He is with the word of God. Pick up the Bible, open any page, start reading and the Holy Spirit will come to guide the reading. The word of God attracts the Holy Spirit for it is his task to reveal the wisdom, knowledge, understanding and honesty in the word. Before you picked up that Bible for the first time, something in your soul and heart had already nudged you to open it. This is when the realization of awareness of your being is beginning to awaken by the silent partner which everyone has. That silent partner is the spirit within you that knows your heart, and your needs.

The discovery of self is vain without the love of this silent partner. To fellowship with this partner, there has to be in your heart the existence of love for everything that has the breath of life and love for God’s creation. You cannot have hate within you and in your heart. A sin is a sin regardless of the magnitude, but all sin never attracts the same punishment. An adulterer is a sinner as a thief is one too. The same applies to a killer, a fornicator, a homosexual, a lesbian, a heterosexual, a fraudulent person and anybody that does something which contravenes the command of God.

Every sin is the same in God’s eyes except the sin against the Holy Spirit; the Holy Spirit cannot be cursed. You cannot hate a homosexual for what he is, or a lesbian for what she is, or a thief for what he or she is, or even a fornicator. Yes, you can despise and rebuke the attitude or the habit because it contravenes God’s law. God never authorizes hatred because of attitudes for God alone has the authority to judge. Hatred in the heart for anything is not acceptable for within the body dwells the Holy Spirit. Hatred within defiles the living place of the Holy Spirit. What you hate is not the issue, but the hatred within you in which the Spirit of God lives. Therefore, love all people and distribute fairness to all regardless of what their lifestyle is. Man does not have authority to pass judgment against his fellow man, nor the authority to kill (by the death penalty), or any other method. Those who judge, including those in authority who advocate the death penalty, will reap exactly what they have sown.

Jesus Christ was and still is the ultimate king. His kingship is always better than man’s democratic, autocratic, dictatorship, monarchy and even presidential system of governments. Speaking of kingship and authority, He has no match on earth, or in Heaven. In policy making, He has all wisdom. None of our political or spiritual leaders can boast about wisdom. Yet in all His perfection, splendor, authority on earth, the universe and in Heaven, and in all holiness and sanctification, Christ spent his time with people of questionable character. He loved them, treated them as if they never did any wrong, drank with them, ate with them and made himself equal to them. Which modern rulers would do such a thing? None at all that I know. They are always in castles, palaces, fortresses, government houses and always guarded exceptionally well.

A church leader has said, and I quote I will never go to any country that has no malls. The same church leader walks in to the sanctuary every Sunday with security guards. These guards stay with him throughout the entire service duration. Interesting, but not surprising with today’s pastors, for all they work for and strive for is money, money, and money. Here, is a clear case of separation and this is an unbecoming attitude for a spiritual leader. With God all things are possible; this is preached almost every Sunday. The same applies to missionary activities. With God, any pastor can survive in places that have no malls. Step out in faith, and the grace will be extended from God who makes all things possible. Christ went back to Judea where they wanted to stone him a short while ago because he was on a mission to raise Lazarus from death. It is a marvelous thing to pay your tithes and it is equally risky to avoid giving. It is a thing of pleasure and beauty to offer more support by giving extra offerings that will help the destitute. Apostle Paul worked to support himself as a tent maker and never begged or asked for any donations for himself, yet he founded more stable churches all over Judea and beyond than any modern day pastor. He never had a horse or donkey, which in his day represented the Mercedes Benz cars of today.

If you obey my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have obeyed my Father’s commands and remained in his love (John 15:10). The YOU in this priestly statement of Christ means you. The book did not say if you are a government, obey my commands; if you are a pastor, obey my commands; if you are a king, a queen, a movie star, a president, a prime minister, a Caucasian, an African, an Asian or even a Muslim, to obey the commands. It simply says If You. Therefore, This is my command: Love each other (John 15:17). "Greater love has no one than this, that
