The Great I Am

MORE LESSON: John 1: 1 -3

If you were asked in an examination to define God, how would you define Him? What will you write as the definition of God? The only way to know and understand God is by His attributes. This is the reason the right question is, 'Who is God?' and not, 'What is God?' because you can only answer by saying that 'God is the One who does this and that' or 'God is the One who is so and so'. There is a book that was written in an attempt to explain God but the author mostly wrote on the attributes of God. God cannot be defined but you will know Him when you desire to celebrate His attributes.

Here are a few of His attributes that I have experienced. 
1. He is the eternal One: God is the only eternal One; He has no beginning and no end. He is Alpha and Omega; the beginning and the end. So His age doesn't change because He is old; He is ever young; He is called the ancient of days. He is the one that cannot die- He is eternally immortal. If there is any word as “un-kill-able” or “un-die-able” this describes Him. Nothing that exists in Him can end. This is why when you are in Him you cannot end either; you have eternal life.

2. He is the Creator: He made all things and nothing exists without Him (John 1: 1-3). He is the One who created everything out of nothing (Heb. 11: 3). When you understand that He is the Creator, you will not struggle to believe Him for anything. Even if what you trust Him for doesn't exist in the whole universe, He has the ability to create it.
3. He is the Almighty One. When you are talking about being the Almighty, that means He has all the might and can do everything and anything. He is not limited in who He is and what He can do.

4. He is the Great I Am. When Moses wanted to know His name; He said 'I am that I am' (Exo. 3: 14) meaning that He can be anything that He wants to be as the demand is placed on Him. He is the Provider, Protector, Miracle Worker, Warrior and Prince of Peace etc. Whatsoever the occasion demands, He is. He is not limited in role, ability or position; He is all that you need.

Therefore, have confidence and be unshakeable as you go through life, if indeed you serve the God who is everything that you need.
