TOPIC: WHOM SAY YE THAT THE SON OF MAN IS? (PART ONE)


-THE WRITTEN WORD-
“When Jesus came to the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, He asked His disciples, saying, whom do men say that I the Son of man am? And they said, some say that Thou art John the Baptist, some Elijah, and others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.
He said unto them, but who say ye that I am?

 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. And Jesus answered and said unto him, blessed art thou, Simon Bar-Jonah: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it to thee, but My Father Who is in heaven”….MATTHEW16:13-17.

“”Who is the image of the invisible God, the Firstborn of every creature: for by Him were all things created that are created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by Him and for Him. And He was before all things, and by Him all things consist…….for it has pleased the Father that In Him should all fullness dwell”……COLOSSIANS 1:15-17, 19.



-THE REVEALED WORD-
This message is founded on an encounter I had with Master Jesus about two months ago. He ministered to me about Himself and about the world He gave His life to save. It was a sober encounter, colored in deep reflections – and of unimaginable insight into the very heart of our Lord, and by all means, into the very heart of the Father also. At the end of that encounter, He pointedly asked me to put this question to the people of God, even to humanity in general: “whom say ye that the Son of man is?

From our today's scriptures, we noted that Master Jesus had put the same question to His first Disciples in the days of His flesh. And Peter, the rock, did give an answer that attracted immediate divine response. But the answer to that same question, as revealed in this very message, is far beyond what was revealed to Peter at that very moment.

It took me almost a month to conclude this message, as satan would not have me to continue this cause. Even on the eve of this publication, he crept into my room while I was asleep and went for my Laptop. I was only awoken by Master Jesus Who alerted me that satan wanted to send demonic virus into my Laptop in order to stop this message, but fled on sighting Him. He is still on the run, I presume.  

The ONLY enemy of mankind, satan, is determined to keep all he has stolen from humanity and at all costs. He is more than determined, in his own very words, to fully avenge the world! He is bent, according to him, to make the Father regret ever casting him down to earth. And he believes that he has but a short time, which is not correct. (In the nearest future, and on a deeper and narrower platform, I will try to publish details of my encounters with satan in details even as the Spirit leads).

 Men and brethren, satan is on rampage. He is not satisfied even with the billions of souls he has stolen: their destinies, their hopes and aspirations. He has devastated the spiritual and physical well-being of millions world-wide. He has wrecked governments, sending many world leaders into delusive pursuits. He has sent many into the path of grief and hopelessness. He has wrecked millions of marriages, and turned many into mere animals.

Satan has brought untold hardship and pain on many families through strange sicknesses and diseases. He has sent many to untimely death and millions upon millions to hell fire. Yet he boasts that he has just begun! I do not know what he has done to you, but I do testify, that if not for the mercy of our God satan would have taken me down a long time ago.

But thank God for our Lord Jesus Christ, Who has been at the forefront of heaven’s strong and overwhelming determination to keep satan in check, at least until his cup is full.

Men and brethren, it has always been the perfect will of God that all humanity be saved and make heaven at last. And our Lord Jesus Christ, the second Person of the Trinity, has had to lay down, even His life, in order to perfect this heavenly agenda.

That is our Lord Jesus Christ, Whom I choose to call My Master. Like I wrote earlier, He is the second Person of the Trinity: He is God the Son. He is the One I am introducing to you, even to humanity at large.

Yes, there is one God, and that is not in dispute. But the same God is in three Persons, and that also must not come under any form of dispute.

The Person of our God, the Creator of the ends of the earth, consists in God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. He is the same God working and manifesting in three Persons. And our Lord Jesus Christ is one of the Persons of God. And by all means He also is God.

And of the three Persons of God, only Master Jesus has manifested to humanity as a man. He has continued to do so, but no longer in flesh and blood. He manifests either as a glorious Lion that He is, or in His human form. And When He does, He does so in the same three Persons of our God. This is the mystery of heaven lost to humanity, even lost to most folks in today’s Church, but key to all things and to life everlasting.

Men and brethren, Master Jesus is the express image of the invisible Father. When you see Him you have seen God the Father. When we see Jesus we have also seen God the Holy Ghost.

Yes, when God the Father manifests, He does so either as a burning Fire that never burns out or, as a dazzling light sitting in a throne. I have been privileged to witness these two manifestations; not because I am more righteous than those who have not, but simply because God ordained it to be so.

 Even the Holy Ghost does manifest as a radiant Lion, a flaming double crossed Sword or glowing Dove, among others. He never manifests in form of a human person and will never. He expressly told me that. You may ask Him if in doubt. Whosoever therefore claims that he or she has seen the Holy Ghost in human form must have seen somebody else.

But, neither God the Father nor God the Holy Ghost ever manifests in human from as our Lord Jesus Christ. Yet the appearance of our Lord Jesus Christ as a man is also the appearance of God the Father and God the Holy Ghost without more.

When Jesus Christ manifests and one beholds Him, that person is also beholding God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Ghost, all in one Person. If any must know how God the Father looks like, just take a deep look at our Lord Jesus Christ in manifestation! He and the Father are one and the same!

When Master Jesus manifested on earth as a man, God the Father and God the Holy Ghost were also manifest at the same time. Master Jesus on the streets of the Jerusalem was an embodiment of God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Ghost in one Person. If only those who killed Him realized that they were indeed crucifying the very One Who created them! But satan blinded their hearts just as he has blinded and is still blinding many hearts today.

Have you not read, brethren, what was revealed to Apostle Paul, in his first letter to Timothy, in chapter three thereof, even at verse sixteen, that…..”Without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifested in the flesh, justified in the spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up in glory”?

That is how the scripture captures the manifestation of Jesus Christ on earth. He manifested as God, Who He is. If you are still in doubt about this truth, that doubt is not of He Who created you.

(Part Two of this message will not be delayed by the grace of God. It is as revealing as this part but more compelling and more conclusive. Please do not shut down yet).
