Enoch Immanuel A. Agbozo
“And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness (faith in God). God was manifested in the flesh, Justified (vindicated) in the spirit, seen of (by) angels, Preached unto the Gentiles (nations),Believed on in (throughout) the world, received up in glory, (glorified in heaven) - 1st Tim. 3:16)
We have the heavenly task to present JESUS CHRIST, Son of the Living God to Ghana as GOD, KING and LORD for Ghana.
This is the New Year Message from the LORD GOD JEHOVAH, creator of heaven and earth to Church and Government, Nation and People of the country. The Most High God has raised His holy hands to bless and glorify Himself in our country. Hence, He wants the nation not only to receive and know and honour Him the Father but also His Son Jesus who is accredited personal representations with full authority and power and standing as God King and Lord to the world, and in particular His chosen and blessed nations Ghana. CHRIST is the Divine Spirit released, presented and given as reconciler, connection, salvation, redemption, restoration and covenant with God the creator.
In Christ, His blood of atonement and reconciliation HUMANITY, NATIONS and CREATION as a whole are reconciled, delivered and redeemed from the fallen state, condemnation and eternal damnation. CHRIST has not only come to preach peace but also to establish peace and good will on earth. He is the Prince of Peace.
He has come to order and establish a State, Government and Kingdom of Peace on earth. Christ is the Spirit, Power and Governor of Salvation, Redemption and Peace on earth. He is the Spirit of Hope of Glory to Man, the human race as a whole that is.
That makes Jesus Christ the SPIRIT and POWER of heavenly ordered reconciliation and life, government and kingdom on earth. He is in the regard the GOD, KING and LORD of man and creation, and the Kingdom of Heaven on earth.
If this is accepted, Jesus Christ can easily be understood and honoured as the spirit and power of Salvation, Redemption and Glory for man, and the nations. He is the Spirit of Glory to man, the human race as a whole (2nd Cor. 5:18-19; Colossians 1:14-27; Ephesians 2:11-18).
The above-stated standing and reality of the SPIRIT and PERSON of JESUS CHRIST is clearly confirmed by first God The Father, Creator, and Father of all spirits, second by the Father and the Holy Spirit through the prophets and apostles of God and third by Satan, and his colleagues the fallen angels and demons. The fourth confession came forth from the apostles who lived, walked and worked with Him.
GOD the Father’s Testimony – Math. 4:17; 17:5
Jehovah God the Father testified of who His Son Jesus Christ is Himself when He said “This is My beloved SON in whom I am well please, HEAR YE HIM” The world is called upon personally by God to know, accept, listen to and consequently honour JESUS CHRIST, the SON. The Father’s testimony confirms clearly the fact that Jesus Christ is of Him, of Divine origin and not a man as such.
Even if Christ Jesus is treated as Man, He stands loftily above the greats of Moses, Elijah and John the Baptist, and of course the Apostles who were commissioned to testify of Him to the world.
Peter confessed that his personal conviction and standing stems from the Father’s voice from heaven, 2nd Peter 1:17-21.
The testimony of the Father and Holy Spirit through unction upon the apostles and prophets (Acts 2:1-4, 14, 22-24, 32-36; John 3:28-36; Math 16:13-17; Acts 9: 1-6; 26: 14-18).
The apostle Peter, the prophet John the Baptist and the apostle Paul were people who had direct revelation and unction to testify openly who Jesus Christ is.
Their testimonies mentioned above are of direct revelation and unction an d not just one of knowledge through reading, waling and working with HIM. Their testimonies have Divine heavenly origin, and relevance to the fact that Jesus Christ though appeared in the flesh as man is of God the Father and is of DIVINE SPIRIT origin and standing among all spirits, including angels and the spirit of elders in heaven, men, Lucifer and other spirits on earth. Christ who in His blood has reconciled men and nations unto the world is placed in position, authority and power “far above all principality and powers, and might, and dominion and every name that is named not only in this world, but also in that which is to come” (Ephesians 1:21-22).
The Testimony of the Devil and demons (Mathew 4:4-11; Mark 5:1-20)
The devil, Lucifer the archangel himself declared testifying that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, accepting His Divine origin and standing so also the demons (legion of them possessing and tormenting the man of the country of the Gadarenes – Math. 5)
The devil and the demons all describe Jesus Christ as SON OF GOD. Jesus proved Himself as being indeed God when He spoke defying the devil’s power and kingdom and glory, commanding all of them into obedience. “Get thee hence” was the word to the devil, who claims the kingdoms of the world and their glory are of him.
Now, if Jesus Christ can command the devil and demons unto obedience, then it is obvious that He has standing, power and authority above the kings, princes and rulers of the world. It follows that Christ Jesus can stand and does stand as GOD, KING and LORD of the world.
The Bible envisions Christ gathering, taking over and bringing all creation and the kingdoms of the world under His charge and Kingdom (Eph. 1:10; 1st Cor. 15:20-28; Rev. 11:15
The Apostles Testimony 2nd Pet. 1:16-18; 1st John 1:1-7; John 1:1-4, 14-16
The Apostles Peter, John and Paul and all others who have met, been with and known Jesus Christ have testified throughout the ages as to who Jesus is.
The experience, witness and testimony of the apostles and prophets is the basis of declaration of Jesus Christ as GOD, KING and LORD not of the christian church alone, but the entire human race and nations. To Him, unto Him and for Him all creation and nations of the world.
JESUS CHRIST and The Kingdom of God on Earth
The conclusion of the matter is that the revelation of JESUS CHRIST as the hidden mystery, indeed the Divine Spirit behind man and creation (John 1: 1-4 ; Colossians 1: 16-17) is not only for the purpose of salvation, redemption and restoration of glory to man, also to deliver man from the human fallen kingdom and glory on earth otherwise taken over and brought under the control of the devil. He has come to deliver from sin, Satan and death, and order, establish and reign the Divine heavenly order, government and Kingdom on earth (Is. 9: 6-7, 61: 1-6 ; Rev. 11: 15)
As the Divine Spirit-Person and Power of Salvation, Redemption and Restoration of the Heaven Kingdom Order on earth, He has right and deserves to be worshipped and honoured as GOD, KING and LORD of the earth.
It follows that Ghana has hope of redemption and restoration of glory and the establishment of a state and government, spiritual and social order of PEACE, GOODWILL and DIVINE Heavenly GLORY. Ghana must accept, acknowledge and honour Jesus Christ as GOD, KING and LORD of the nation. CHRIST is the Divine Spirit of redemption and power for heavenly kingdom order on earth. ONLY JESUS can help order the affairs of Ghana in everlasting peace, progress and glory.
The truth is that GOD the Father and Jesus Christ has already redeemed, taken over and ordered the heavenly Kingdom Order for Ghana. Hence the unique state of peace, shining light and glory of Ghana.
GHANA, behold Jesus Christ, the Saviour, Redeemer, Victorious Prince, Mighty God, King and Lord of the country. CHRIST IS THE HOPE of PEACE, and GLORY of GHANA.
Soon Ghana shall enter, flourish and prosper in REST, PEACE and JOY, SECURITY and GLORY. This is the intent of New Year message of glad tidings of joy to Ghana. Amen!
