On the 04-11-2023 we discussed a very important verse.
John 14:12 tells us of Jesus' assurance to us, children of God, doing works even greater than what Jesus did during His time on earth, if we believe in Him.
There has been some misunderstanding with this verse, where some think those who think they are gods have blasphemed as they are thought to contradict the First Commandment: 'Ye shall have no other gods before Me' (Exodus 20:3).
This is where the great and all too real deception of the devil lies at the heart of Christianity - that in viewing ourselves lesser than who we truly are as children of the Most High (gods), we walk on in darkness/ignorance (Psalm 82: 5-6), we in turn limit our potential/capability to do the great works Jesus had done.
In limiting our potential, we have become like unto the Pharisees of old, attempting to stone Jesus on the charge of blasphemy; for Jesus being a man claiming Himself to be God (John 10:33)
If God, who is All-Mighty and All-Powerful with none willing and daring enough to challenge Him has declared us to be 'gods' on numerous occasions (Psalm 82:6), who then are we to renounce our sonship with Him? (Romans 8:19)
Even satan himself knows this truth, and had mixed it in along with his deceit in the form of a serpent when tempting Eve at the Garden of Eden (Genesis 3:5) (you shall be like god...)
So my brothers and sisters, fathers and mothers, aunties and uncles and cousins - let not the deceit of the devil rile you all up like the Pharisees of old and be quick to accuse and slander your fellow brethren of being blaspheming heretics, when in reality they have come to understand the Word of God and have received revelation at a far greater depth than you can ever possibly imagine.
Know that while there is but only one Lord our God whom we should worship before us (Isaiah 44:6, 48:12 & Revelation 1:11), know also that as children of God made in His Image (Genesis 1:26) and whom had been called by Him to be glorified (Romans 8:30) by Him in both body and spirit (1 Corinthians 6:20) so as to be co-heirs alongside Him in His Heavenly Kingdom (Romans 8:17), we too are gods ourselves who are capable of doing greater works than Him in Whom we believeth most.
Peace be unto you all in Jesus' Mighty and Holy Name - Amen.
