How God Created Man
Part II
The Authority Called Man
By
The Man Who Saw God Face To Face
Raphael Okechukwu Nweze
Man Was Created In The Image, Likeness And Nature Of God
In creating man, God bestowed on him so much glory that the Angels sang joyful praises to God. He was son of God because he came forth from God, and had the very nature of God. God made him a bright and glorious spirit. He could have fellowship with God and Angels (companionship and friendship), because he had the ability to see the heavens from the earth, as well as the ability to see Angels serving and praising God.
His life was full of joyfulness and gladness, until he decided to do things his own way. That was when things went wrong, at the prompting of the Devil, who never wanted man to take over his (Devil's) glorious position.
Restoration
Right from the ancient times, God has consistently made several efforts for the salvation of mankind. He has sent several Angels and Ministers to help man return to his appointed glorious position. Himself has visited the world in various manifestations. He appeared to Moses on Mt Sinai. Later, He came to the Israelites in the human form of Jesus Christ. The same God appeared to Arjunah and introduced the original sacred text of Hinduism, called Bhagavad-Gita.
All the religions of the world are clear evidences of the diverse efforts, revelations and manifestations of God in the bid to salvage humanity. The real problem remains, not original sin or the Devil, but man's refusal to know himself and attain perfection. That was why Socrates gave the warning, "Know Thyself." He was right, because if you were to leave a baby prince to himself, he would never know that he is the son of a king. For man, at his present level of spirituality, is like a baby who always plays on the ground, not minding to roll himself over dirt.
In the course of time, majority neglected to discover themsleves. They choose the path of spiritual indolence, which is walled in by ignorance and paved by complacency. The result has been pretended peace. Today, man has developed all things, but failed to develop himself. He boasts of Computer Science, Physical Science, Chemical Science, Social Science, Political Science, etc, but has neglected the most important one, which is Spiritual Science.
The Only Solution
The only solution is for man to retrace his steps, look where he has overlooked. This is because no one ever finds the Truth by shying away from it! "You shall know the Truth and the Truth shall set you free." But, you must first seek to find it, not from religions and churches, but from those who actually know.
When man knows the truth, he will reset his priorities. Then he will understand that the marks of a man are : knowledge of the truth, the wisdom of the Holy Spirit and Love in holiness. Until that priority reset is accomplished, he will continue to boast of money, wealth and fame. An attitude that is best described as "leaving the Gold, in pursuit of frivolities."
It is only the ignorant masses
that are easily impressed by the by ignorant teachers,
who teach the figments of imaginations, the fabrications of falsehood
and the deceptions of the enemy.
Need For Self-Examination
Behold a king
who does not know
that he is a king
Behold a priest,
who does not know
the meaning of priesthood
Behold a prophet
who does not know
how to mix knowledge to get wisdom
That person is man!
Behold a creator
who dishonours himself
by worshiping his creatures
Behold a house
full of potentials
and yet lacking in skills
Behold a dynamic intelligence
who is so lazy
that he is always sleeping
That person is man!
Ignorance Is A Problem
He gives his crown to an effigy
and his scepter to tide and fate
He calls a refuse gold.
What he calls faith
is nothing but false belief.
He refuses to learn the truth
the simple truth
until he has suffered untold hardship
which is both recurrent
and unnecessary
Majority Of The Men Play Fools
It is disappointing that in matters of spirituality and fight against forces of darkness, that the men are so lazy and indifferent, that they do not even know that a terrible war is raging on against them. Indeed, the men behave like sleeping giants, while the enemy is busy entrapping them, one by one, into his merciless net.
Observe the churches, crusades, fellowships, ministries, etc, and see how women are striving everyday for the kingdom, while the men, who should lead in the race, are idle watching or drinking in the beer parlours.
Jesus As A Role Model
Jesus came to:
- Demonstrate what man is.
- Demonstrate the nature of man.
- Demonstrate the powers of man.
- Show how man should live and relate with his fellow men.
- Show the relationship between God and man.
- Emphasis the need for life in spirit and in truth.
- Show man how to solve people’s problems.
- Serve as a light to the nations, providing knowledge, understanding, insight, foresight, wisdom, solutions and counsel.
-
Show that every statement He made about Himself equally applies to man.
The Light Called Woman
Special Warning About Women
If the men insist on what is good, the women shall make it better.
And if the men insist on what is bad, the women shall make it worse.
Indeed, it is better to tend upwards in righteousness,
than to steep downwards in lawlessness.
Therefore, do everything possible to prevent all forms of indecency.
Introduction
Many have interpreted 'Woman' as meaning 'Woe unto man.' In many sermons, people are advised to
avoid the women. While it is good to avoid every stumbling block in the path of salvation, we
should always remember that the woman was made to be a blessing to humanity. The woman is an
extraordinary light given to man, to help and for companionship.
God is perfect and there is no imperfection in Him or from Him. He is righteous, and there is no
evil in Him or from Him. All things were good after the creation until the enemy, Devil, came into
the scene. The scriptures make this clear in the The Parable of the Wheat and the Tares
:
Another parable He put forth to them, saying: "The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good
seed in his field; 25 but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat and went
his way. 26 But when the grain had sprouted and produced a crop, then the tares also appeared. 27
So the servants of the owner came and said to him, 'Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field?
How then does it have tares?' 28 He said to them, 'An enemy has done this.' The servants said to
him, 'Do you want us then to go and gather them up?' 29 But he said, 'No, lest while you gather up
the tares you also uproot the wheat with them. 30 Let both grow together until the harvest, and at
the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, "First gather together the tares and bind them in
bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my barn." ' "
Matthew 13:24-30
In other words, whatever is good is good, and whatever is bad is bad. Good fruits do not come from
bad trees, just as bad fruits do not come from good tree. In the perfect state, the woman is a
blessing and a light. She is a light intended for the good of humanity. The entrance of a woman into
every house or organization supposed to bring blessings and prosperity to the house or organization.
But the enemy would not let that be. He relentlessly tries to destroy the good works of God. In
every situation, he starts with the woman, because he knows that the woman has extra sensory
perception to understand his insinuations faster than man. And he succeeds because most of the
women are spiritually blind, hypocrites and lovers of fame.
From Grace To Grass
If the woman had maintained the position given to her by the Almighty, she would have become Gold
in the midst of humanity, very precious and glorious. But the woman, out of incessant desires and
cravings, lost the glorious state and became depraved. Having become depraved, she has continued to
be a ready and willing tool in the hands of the devils. Observe the numerous deliverances going on
on the televisions and at crusades, most of them being performed on women.
The women sold themselves to the evil spirits. The situation is so bad that on the wedding day, the
bride that stands at the altar in white garment, which signifies virginity, is no longer a virgin
but a devastated being, who had already had one or more husbands in the spirit or marine kingdom,
with several children calling her Mummy. And while the blind reverends glory in their
magnificent temples and cathedrals with teaming population, the evil spirits, demons, ghosts and
black energies rejoice to hold sway in the midst of blind congregation, stealing, killing,
destroying and devouring.
The Glorious State

The Depraved State
|
Today, the situation continues to worsen. That is why women abound in every church, crusade,
temple,
prayer house, fellowship and ministry, yet every family is on fire. Like a blind and jealous
beggar, the woman tries to grab everything that is within her reach on the right and the left,
whether those things are good or bad, holy or unsaintly. She calmly and actively plays a hypocrite.
She professes to side with God, but is busy reaching for everything the enemy presents to her. That
is why she is struggling for equality with man, when God and nature make it clear that the man is
superior to and the head of the woman. She is relentlessly throwing away the rich and wonderful
blessings which God has bestowed on her, in her effort to become like man. She strives to change
her shape to that of a man, tries to change her appearance to become man-like, and steadily changes
her dresses to those of a man, to the extent that today, many of them appear more rugged than men.
They are heedlessly committing the same sin the fallen Angels committed, by leaving their glorious
state and abode to dwell in the midst of lower beings and mess up themselves thereby.
Understand the womenfolk when they testify of the evils they commit. That is why they are happy and
proud to tell you that what a man can do, a woman can do better. And they confirm their hypocrisy
by saying that women play politics better than men! And what is modern politics? ...Hypocrisy!
What a terrible state. Yet, many of them are not ready to heed warnings from the Holy Spirit to
retrace their steps. Hear their responses to divine warnings: "It does not matter," one of them
would say, and "O digh ihe neme! (no cause for alarm, no consequences!)" the others encourage one another. The ugly
development is so bad nowadays that the entrance of women (as brides) into their husbands' families
bring crisis upon crisis, quarrels, fighting, discrimination, hardships, etc.
Despite the worsening state, the womenfolk are not ready to accept advances for peace and
settlement. Like the merciless demons that possess them, they strive for more troubles,
segregations, enmity, wickedness and aggression. Even, some of the men seem helpless in the
situation. They can no longer issue effective commands to their wives, who like the evil spirits
are bent on causing more havoc.
The women do everything possible to disrupt every kindness being given by their husbands to other
women or people in need, against the will of the Almighty. They do this by criticizing every effort
of their husbands, by discouraging every assistance, and by aggressive refusal to allow charity
extend to others. Even to the extent that a man would happily make a donation in the church, only
to get home to be ridiculed by an angry wife, who should have prayed God to bless her husband with
success and prosperity. She quickly and blindly forgets that all good things come as blessings from
God.
The situation would have continued to worsen if the Almighty had not intervened by empowering
deliverances and prophecy (revelations).
As the man who saw God face to face, I warn the womenfolk to return to the ancient path of
saintliness. Return to humility, simplicity, gentility, decency, holiness, kindness, dutifulness,
politeness, love, cooperation and goodness. Otherwise, many of them shall find themselves in the
hell fire. Already, many are bound inside the hell.
The Light Called Woman
In creating the women, God bestowed love and beauty on them. He did not give them much wisdom
because the woman is made to obey the man. All she needed is obedience. And in order to ensure that
she is never placed at a disadvantage, she favoured her with beauty, so that the man would love her
and take care of her. Unlike what is obtainable today, whereby the woman wants to take care of
herself and even lord it over men.
God intended that the woman will be a booster of spiritual life and progress. She is meant to be
more receptive of communications from the heavens to humanity, just as a junior army officer
carries the communication devices for the commander at the battle field. Thereby, she supposed to
bring success and prosperity to everywhere she enters. Evidence abounds. Examine the church
gatherings, you would notice that women abound there more than men. Also, consider those people
that receive and deliver messages, and you would find out that the women out number the men.
Contrary to this providence, she has chosen the ways of the evil spirits. She complains a lot;
would not forgive an offence, however small the act might be; she is full of self, always angry to
defend her selfishness, instead of joyfully rendering selfless services to humanity; she prides
herself in her make-up and fashion, instead of glorying in the Lord; where she supposed to fortify
her environment by shining as a light dispelling forces of darkness, she has turned herself into a
porter, who is busy opening the door for all kinds of evil spirits, demons, ghosts and black
energies to enter and wreak havoc; on the wedding day, she kneels down in the public to serve her
bridegroom, only to be arrogantly talking to him at home as if he were her house boy; decency brings
out the beauty in a woman for public delight and appreciation, but she is everyday introducing
every form of indecent dresses, to the annoyance of morality. No wonder Peter complained to Jesus that
women are not worthy to live. King Solomon confirmed what Peter said, "... one man among a
thousand have I found; but a woman among all those (womenfolk) have I not found."
While Solomon wrote his assessment of women, God wants every woman to become a saint. That is why
He empowered the wisest man to set the following standard for every woman:
10 Who can find a virtuous wife?
For her worth is far above rubies.
11 The heart of her husband safely trusts her;
So he will have no lack of gain.
12 She does him good and not evil
All the days of her life.
13 She seeks wool and flax,
And willingly works with her hands.
14 She is like the merchant ships,
She brings her food from afar.
15 She also rises while it is yet night,
And provides food for her household,
And a portion for her maidservants.
16 She considers a field and buys it;
From her profits she plants a vineyard.
17 She girds herself with strength,
And strengthens her arms.
18 She perceives that her merchandise is good,
And her lamp does not go out by night.
19 She stretches out her hands to the distaff,
And her hand holds the spindle.
20 She extends her hand to the poor,
Yes, she reaches out her hands to the needy.
21 She is not afraid of snow for her household,
For all her household is clothed with scarlet.
22 She makes tapestry for herself;
Her clothing is fine linen and purple.
23 Her husband is known in the gates,
When he sits among the elders of the land.
24 She makes linen garments and sells them,
And supplies sashes for the merchants.
25 Strength and honor are her clothing;
She shall rejoice in time to come.
26 She opens her mouth with wisdom,
And on her tongue is the law of kindness.
27 She watches over the ways of her household,
And does not eat the bread of idleness.
28 Her children rise up and call her blessed;
Her husband also, and he praises her:
29 "Many daughters have done well,
But you excel them all."
30 Charm is deceitful and beauty is passing,
But a woman who fears the LORD, she shall be praised.
31 Give her of the fruit of her hands,
And let her own works praise her in the gates.
Proverbs 31:10-31
Jesus summarized it all:
17 Because you (the woman) say, ‘I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing' — and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked — 18 I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and white garments, that you may be clothed, that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see.
Revelation 3:17-19
The Beautiful Angel?
You are very beautiful
You look like an Angel
Who are you talking about?
The woman
But why?
Why what?
The venom in her mouth
And the glances like those of a witch
The rage in her heart
And the stings of her action
It is unexpected
Besides, it is amazing!
You may wear them like gold
But they do not fit you
