(Please kindly note that this is a continuation of last week’s post.)
Dede: Hello, I'm Dede – although I'm sure most of you would know me by now. The first time you came across me I was a griping man embittered by the difficult experiences of life. I had lost my wife Lisa, and this pandemic period had brought my faith in God to its knees.
So, when Wisdom had started speaking to me, telling me about how he had always cared about me and Lisa too, I had almost lost it. Also having to witness the conversations between Him and Adren left me very ranked as she logically pointed out the fact that the world's chaos meant someone horrible – whom she had thought to be the devil – was in charge. Believe me, I had agreed with her completely.
It took time for me to finally realise and come to terms with the fact that indeed, God never played favourites and had not lost control of this world. It was also quite painful to have finally seen in scriptures that God had never backed down on any promise of His but had fulfilled them all in Jesus Christ, and that ignorance had kept us from enjoying those promises.
And then, when Wisdom finally showed us that the Devil was not the ruler of this world, shattering all that I had ever thought to be true, It was like a sucker-punch – a liberating, stunning sucker-punch. Experiences had made me begin to think differently, but through scriptures I was shown that the person God sees as beloved and favourite is Christ, and so by default, anyone who accepts him is also given the same treatment.
Adrenaline: Hi, Adren here. I thought I was frustrated with Life till I bumped into Dede and Wisdom having a lil chit chat. What really piqued my interest was Dede's loss. I mean, that was too much for a man. I got angry at everything. I got angry at God. Wisdom intially got me quite confused but interestingly, I stayed because I wanted to know the truth.
So we started from where it all began – Creation. I began to understand that those pronouncements God made in Genesis 1 were not mere words but powerful. Man was given dominion over the world but unfortunately lost it when he fell.
It was quite a relief to realize that God came as man to restore that dominion to me. That I operate on a higher realm than the 'god of this world' for greater is HE that is IN me than he that is in the world. Also, my healing is in past tense! Sickness and death was terminated by virtue of Christ's sacrifice for me! Yeah, you can call me an immortal!
Scriptures I knew as a kid began to come alive in me! Knowledge is indeed POWER; for anyone who is yet to believe (receive) Jesus is still under unnecessary bondage and believers who do not know this truth will live less than Father's best for them. I feel so powerful {actually I AM just like my Father (winks)}. For I, the man in Christ run the world!
