Blessed
be the Name of the LORD, for He is good, for His mercy endureth forever, Amen. Brethren, we are going to browse through the
Humble Mind of God and we should know that without the alignment of our mind with God's, we couldnt achieve anything as regards
our claim that we are going on for Him. The Bible says, But without thy mind would I do nothing; that thy benefit should
not be as it were of necessity, but willingly. Philemon 14. We must, therefore, consent to God now to be able to weld
our mind willingly with His so that all we are going to study shall bring forth fruits, either thirtyfold, sixtyfold, or a
hundredfold, depending on the level of our spiritual growth and yieldedness. God is not going to compel His Humble Mind on
any one as He created man, not as robot, but as free moral agent with volition to choose either to live or to die.
It
is given unto me in the Scripture to understand that we should study to shew ourselves approved unto Godrightly dividing the
Word of Truth (2 Timothy 2:15). The whole Scripture is given (present tense) by the influence of God and is (presently) profitable
for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness; that the man of God (the children of God John
1:12,13) may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works (2 Timothy 3:16,17). If it be so, let us briefly see what
happened in the beginning, Hallelujah.
Genesis
1:1 says, In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. If we look at John 1:1, the Bible also states, In
the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. If we examine the word In in the beginning
of these two scriptures, we should be able to reconcile it with Christ in the following statements. Christ the beginning,
God, created the heaven and the earth. Christ the beginning was the Word, and the Word (Christ) was with God, and the Word
(Christ) was God. This is, without any controversy, powerful, Hallelujah. No wonder Jesus said in Revelation 1:8, I
am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the
Almighty. The twelve governmental names of the LORD are made known in all creations or living things, Amen.
In the beginning of this current earth, God created
man in His image (Male [Word]) and after His likeness (Female [Spirit]). Adam Female was inside Adam Male on the day that
God created them. Rightly dividing the Word of Truth, God did not create Adam and Eve in the beginning, but Adam Male and
Female. We have come in contact with many writings whereby we say that in the beginning, God created Adam and Eve. If we look
into what the Bible says in Genesis 5:1,2, This is the book of the generations
of Adam. In the day that God created
man, in the likeness of God made he him; Male and female created he them; and blessed
them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created, we would see that one man was created but he was created two in one, that is to say,
male and female in one person. The Bible says that male and female created he them and called their name Adam.
This is saying that two persons bearing one singular name not names. Before the fall in the Garden of Pleasures and
Delight called Eden, their name was Adam, male and female. It was only in Genesis 3:20, after their depravity, that Adam Male
called his wifes name Eve. God did not give the name to Adam Female.
If
we look at the original creation of man closely, we would agree that Adam Female, the Bride of the first Adam, was inside
him the Groom. But today, our Bridegroom, the second Adam, the LORD Jesus Christ, is inside us the Bride, Hallelujah!
Adam
Female was attentively listening inside her Groom to the commandment of God to them that they should freely eat of the trees
in the Garden of Pleasures and Delight. There was a warning in Genesis 2:17, But of the tree of the knowledge of good and
evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. There was nothing wrong
with the tree of knowledge of good and evil in the first place as far as God is concerned but God deserves obedience of His
own creations. If we look at the order of arrangement of Gods statement as regards the planting of the trees in Genesis 2:9,
And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of
life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil, you should agree with me that even though
man wants to eat, he should first of all eat of the tree of life before the tree of knowledge of good and evil. Both were
pleasant to the sight and good for food according to the Bible. If you give a little child a plate of rice with meat on it
in the western part of Nigeria and the child first eat the meat before the rice, he or she is a thief and shall be punished
by the parent. Rice is the real food and meat is just a food supplement. Even if you see an adult who is served with plates
of food and he first picks meat or chicken to eat, he or she must have a symptom of a thief blood in his or her veins.
If
Adam male and female had eaten of the tree of life first, there is no doubt that they would not fall into the hands of the
enemy, the Fallen Lucifer, through the Serpent. They should have automatically been given the knowledge of good and evil and
would not have agreed to the Lucifers false advertisement. This is where man traded his joy for guilt. This is where man decided
to forgo the divine intelligence of Love, Light, and Life given unto him by God and obtain serpentine intelligence of Hate,
Darkness, and Death. We know all things about nothing, says my Grand Spiritual Mother, Revd (Mama) B.R. Hicks. All that man
claims to know today is roundabout nothing. They should not have fallen short of the glory of God. The tree of life is the
tree of the Son while the tree of knowledge of good and evil belongs to the Father. How can you be so stupid and foolish,
arrogant and obstinate, proud and rebellious to go to the Father first when He had commanded that you should see Him through
His Son?
What
we are doing today has been in the beginning from Adam to our generation. We want to serve God but not through His Son, the
LORD Jesus Christ. This is the reason why many are found in false religions all over the world, being rebellious against God.
We are now asking everyone who has not come to the knowledge of the Son of God (2 Peter 1:2-8) to come to the Brazen Altar,
the Low Humble Place, repent and baptized in the Name of the LORD Jesus Christ to receive the gift of the Holy Ghost (Acts
2:36-38).
The
state we find ourselves today is as a result of our disobedience to Gods commandment in the beginning.
We
are called to make the Holy, Righteous, and Powerful Name of the LORD God Almighty, Jesus Christ of Nazareth known through
this medium. We are, therefore, here to serve you without any iota of disappointment in the Name of the LORD. If you have
