DEEPER DAY 1TOPIC: Who do you image? Understanding delegated authorityTEXT: Eph 3:14MINISTERING: Apostle Emmanuel IrenPart of the privilege of theology is to start learning what you cannot finish knowing. The greatness of God surpasses knowledge. There is something about the natural creation that gives us an idea of the greatness of God.(Eph 3:19)Holiness means excellence, something that stands out, indescribable. (Exo 15:11)➡️How do we know what is beyond knowing📌Anthropomorphic attributesTo know God, God must step down and reach out to us primarily by the incarnation of God in flesh and by anthro attributes. (Dan 9:18)📌Theomorphic attributesThis is simply the conception of something in form of a deity. There are some things God put on earth to explain his greatness (Psalm 19:1-2)God is the sun📍God gives illumination (Psalm 84:11)He is the sun in his light we see every other thing, God’s light is our perspective in life. Through him we see everything else especially as believers in a world of several opinions and voices📍God is goodLight is a metaphor for good (I John 1:5) When we call him the light we see his goodness. He does not orchestrate pain or evil, he does not tempt us with sickness, any study that contradicts his goodness is done right. (Rom 15:3)📍God is consistentHe never changes. People changes everyday and so our hope is only in him. (Jas 1:17)📍(Psalm 19:6)God is self sufficient ➡️If God is the sun then we are moons (John 1:1-9)It is your destiny to image a spirit, God wants to beam his light through you to a degree that anyone that comes near you sees him through you.➡️The sonship of ChristThe same way Jesus images the father, we image God. We live as ambassadors of Christ (2 Cor 5:20)Every where we go we go on Christ’s behalf. We are called to defend the interest of God on this earth.You are blessed to be a blessing not to oppress or impress.You are destined to project if you don’t project God you would project something else (Gen 3: lol mlj➡️To image God iLook beyond yourself Heb 26Side with the purpose of GodBe compassionate and be sensitiveYour wealth should be measured by your contribution and not your possessions.➡️What does it mean to be an ambassador for Christ and what resources back you?(Psalm 82:1)📌Everyone sent on behalf of God, they present themselves as though it was God.📌God like to delegate authority.📌God likes to show off his greatness in his sons.📌When anyone in the name of God goes they can make decrees in the name of God.📌You cannot stop a man aligned to God.📌When you go where God sent you, you are a God in that place.📌When God sends you it is as though God went.
