THE BELIEVER IS CREATED IN THE IMAGE OF GOD TO MANIFEST ZOE LIFE

The Kingdom of God is not “....meat and drink; but righteousness, peace , and joy in the holy
ghost....” ( Romans 14 verse 17 ).

The Kingdom of God is the Kingdom of Light. Darkness flees from light.

Heaven lives by the WORD OF GOD.

The will of God in Heaven will be done on earth.

The Kingdoms of this world and the Cosmos Apostate Kingdoms will give way to the KINGDOM OF
GOD. ( Daniel 2 verse 31 to 45 ; Revelation 12 verse 10 to 12 ).

The believer is a chosen vessel to bring HEAVEN ON EARTH by manifesting the KINGDOM OF GOD.

When the believer meets up with people that are anointed with religious spirits there is a clash .
Spiritual warfare takes place.

In 2 Corinthians 10 verses to 6 we read :

“...........3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:

  4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling
down of strong holds;)

  5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the
knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;

  6 And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.....”.

The Apostle Paul says in Ephesians 6 verse to 18 :

“.....10Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.

  11Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the
devil.

  12For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers,
against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

  13Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in
the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

  14Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of
righteousness;

  15And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;

2
  16Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery
darts of the wicked.

  17And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

  18Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with
all perseverance and supplication for all saints;

  19And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to
make known the mystery of the gospel,

  20For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to
speak........”.

The believer walks in the Light of the revealed Word of God manifesting the ZOE LIFE and AGAPE
LOVE of the LORD JESUS CHRIST.

The believer is Redeemed by the BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST.

“......18Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver
and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers;

  19But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:

  20Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in
these last times for you,

  21Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that
your faith and hope might be in God.

  22Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned
love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently:

  23Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which
liveth and abideth for ever.

  24For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass
withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away:

  25But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is
preached unto you.....”. ( 1 Peter 1 verse 18 to 25 ).

Man is created in the image of God. Man is to manifest the WORD OF GOD , THE LIFE OF GOD, THE
ZOE LIFE , THE AGAPE LOVE OF GOD , THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD , THE JOY AND PEACE OF GOD.
Man is to manifest THE DIVINE ATTRIBUTES OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD.

3
God made man in the image of God to have DOMINION “.... over the fish of the sea, and over the
fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that
creepeth upon the earth.....”.( Genesis 1 verse 26 ).

The Bible is a condensed Book . It is written in the Gospel of John Chapter 21 that “....  25 And
there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every
one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written.
Amen.

In the book of Genesis, in Chapter 1 , we read that “...........In the beginning God created the heaven
and the earth.......”. ( Genesis 1 verse 1 ).

We do not know how many million or billions of years happened between Genesis 1 verse 1
and Genesis 1 verse 2.

In Genesis 1 verses 26 and 27 we read :

“.....  26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have
dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over
all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

  27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and
female created he them......”.

Mankind was created for a purpose. The Bible is the only Religious Book that tells mankind
who he is , where he comes from and where he is going.

In Genesis 2 verse 7 we find that “.....And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the
ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul......”.

In Genesis 3 we read about the fall of man. Sin entered the world because of disobedience.
( Romans 5 verse 12 ).

Man fell from the Glory of God . Man missed the mark of the glory of God .

The Apostle Paul said “.... For all have sinned , and come short of the Glory of God....”.
( Romans 3 verse 23 ).

When Adam and Eve fell in the garden of Eden, in Genesis chapter 3 , they had a fig leave
religion to cover their spiritual and physical nakedness. The fig leave religion was rejected
by God. “.....Unto Adam and also to his wife did the LORD GOD make coats of skins, and
clothed them.....”.( Genesis 3 verse 21 ).

In Genesis 3 verses 22 to 24 we read :

4
“........  22 And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and
evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for
ever:

  23 Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from
whence he was taken.

  24 So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and
a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.

  22 And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil:
and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for
ever:

  23 Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from
whence he was taken.

  24 So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and
a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life....”.

Adam and Eve had to move out of the Presence of God . Adam and Eve had to move out of the
Garden of Eden. Sin separated Adam and Eve from God. Sin set a barrier to fellowship between
GOD and man when Adam and Eve that had sinned .

Adam and Eve had to move from THE DIVINE PLACE OF CELESTIAL GLORY IN HEAVEN to a place on
earth where they could no longer have 24/7 FREE DIVINE FELLOWSHIP with God.

Satan is the god of this wicked age. Satan’s cosmos apostate system deforms the image of
man to a cosmos image.

The Apostle Paul said in Romans 12 verse 1 and 2 :

“.......  1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies
a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.

  2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind,
that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.....”.

The Lord Jesus Christ , the Second Man Adam, came to MANIFEST ZOE AGAPE LIFE. The life
He lived was THE ZOE AGAPE LIFE OF DOMINION.

He had no sin. His Blood was DIVINE BLOOD PULSATING WITH DIVINE ZOE AGAPE LIFE.

The woman with an issue of Blood “....touched the hem of His garment....”. She reached out
in faith and DIVINE VIRTUE WENT OUT from the Body of the LORD JESUS through the hem
of his garment and healed her. ( Mark 5 verse 25 to 29 ; Luke 8 verse43 to 49 ).

The Religious people of that day could talk about concepts about living a victorious life.

5
THE LORD JESUS MANIFESTED VICTORIOUS LIVING.

He had AUTHORITY OVER THE ELEMENTS.

He turned water into wine. ( John Chapter 2 ).

In the Book of Acts we read “.....How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost
and with power : who went about doing good and healing all that were oppressed by the
devil.....”. ( Acts 10 verse 38 ).

Among the many miracles recorded and unrecorded , He turned water into wine. ( John 2
verse 1 to 12 ).

Believers know that :-

He is the same yesterday, today and forever. ( Hebrews 13 verse 8 ).

He looked up to heaven and blessed and broke and multiplied five loaves and two fishes
and fed the multitude.

He could speak to the storm and immediately there would be a great calm.

He could speak to the fig tree and the fig tree would dry up from the roots.

He walked on water.

He spoke to the storms and calmed the storm immediately.

He raised the dead.

He cast out devils.

He healed the sick.

He opened blind eyes.

He unstopped deaf ears.

He cleansed the lepers.

He set the captives free.

He healed the broken hearted.

He gave rest to the weary.

He comforted those that grieved.

He “.....looked beyond the fault and saw the need....”.

6
The Religious people “....made the law of non effect....” with their laws and traditions and
creeds . ( Mark 7 verse 13 ).

They didnot see eye to eye with the LORD JESUS . They couldnot. They were in a fallen state.
They had been “... born in sin and in iniquity....” they were conceived. ( Psalms 51 verse 5 )

They had fallen from grace and failed to live by the LAW OF MOSES.

They knew that they couldnot live a DIVINE ZOE AGAPE LIFE and they knew that they could
never redeem themselves to live a DIVINE ZOE AGAPE LIFE .

They failed to understand that “.......the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came
by Jesus Christ.......”. ( John 1 verse 14 ).

He had DIVINE AUTHORITY over the world, the flesh and the devil.

The religious people and the religious elders knew about the story of creation. They knew
the letter of the Scriptures. They prayed and read the scriptures every day. Their minds and
thoughts were centred on the Word of God. They knew the letter of the law. They didnot
subscribe to no scientific evolution teaching. The devil couldnot deceive them with that.

The Lord Jesus said in John 6 verse 63 “.....  63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh
profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life......”.

In Genesis 1 verses 26 to 27 we read :

“...........“.....  26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them
have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and
over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

  27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and
female created he them......”.

In Romans 5 we read that the First Man Adam “..... is the figure of him that was to
come.....” . ( Romans 5 verse 14 ).

The First Man Adam was created in the image of the the Second Man Adam. The first man
Adam was created to have “....dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air,
and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon
the earth......”. ( Genesis 1 verse 26 ).

But the First Man Adam sinned and lost the title deeds to planet earth.

The Second Man Adam came to restore that which was lost. He came to restore the
DOMINION OF MAN ON PLANET EARTH.

7
“......10
For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost......”. ( Luke 19
verse 10 ).

In 1 Corinthians 14 verses we read :

“........  45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was
made a quickening spirit.

  4 6Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that
which is spiritual.

  47The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second man is the Lord from heaven.

  48As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they
also that are heavenly.

  49And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the
heavenly.

  50Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither
doth corruption inherit incorruption.

  51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,

  52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound,
and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

  53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.

  54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on
immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up
in victory.

  55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?

  56 The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.

  57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

  58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the

work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord......”.

Where the devil came to planet earth to kill to steal and to destroy , the Lord Jesus came so
that the Believer in the Word of God would have life in abundance, ZOE AGAPE LIFE. ( John
10 verse 10 ).

The Lord Jesus came to “....undo the works of satan.....”.

8
In 1 John 3 verses 1 to 12 we read :

“.....1 Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be
called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.

  2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we
know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.

  3 And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.

  4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the
law.

  5 And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.

  6 Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither
known him.

  7 Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as
he is righteous.

  8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this
purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.

  9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he
cannot sin, because he is born of God.

  10 In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth
not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.

  11 For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one
another.

  12 Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he
him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous. ......”.

The religious people worshipped God with their mouths but their hearts were far from God.

The religious people hated the Lord Jesus and wanted to destroy Him and were always
looking for opportunities to carry out their diabolical schemes.

In Luke 20 verses 1 to 26 we read :

“....... 1 And it came to pass, on one of the days, as he was teaching the people in the temple,
and preaching the gospel, there came upon him the chief priests and the scribes with the
elders;

9
  2 and they spake, saying unto him, Tell us: By what authority doest thou these things? or
who is he that gave thee this authority?

  3 And he answered and said unto them, I also will ask you a question; and tell me:

  4 The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or from men?

  5 And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why
did ye not believe him?

  6 But if we shall say, From men; all the people will stone us: for they are persuaded that
John was a prophet.

  7 And they answered, that they knew not whence it was.

  8 And Jesus said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things.

  9 And he began to speak unto the people this parable: A man planted a vineyard, and let it
out to husbandmen, and went into another country for a long time.

  10 And at the season he sent unto the husbandmen a servant, that they should give him of
the fruit of the vineyard: but the husbandmen beat him, and sent him away empty.

  11 And he sent yet another servant: and him also they beat, and handled him shamefully,
and sent him away empty.

  12 And he sent yet a third: and him also they wounded, and cast him forth.

  13 And the lord of the vineyard said, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son; it may be
they will reverence him.

  14 But when the husbandmen saw him, they reasoned one with another, saying, This is the
heir; let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.

  15 And they cast him forth out of the vineyard, and killed him. What therefore will the lord of
the vineyard do unto them?

  16 He will come and destroy these husbandmen, and will give the vineyard unto others. And
when they heard it, they said, God forbid.

  17 But he looked upon them, and said, What then is this that is written, The stone which the
builders rejected, The same was made the head of the corner?

  18 Every one that falleth on that stone shall be broken to pieces; but on whomsoever it shall
fall, it will scatter him as dust.

  19 And the scribes and the chief priests sought to lay hands on him in that very hour; and
they feared the people: for they perceived that he spake this parable against them.

10
  20 And they watched him, and sent forth spies, who feigned themselves to be righteous, that
they might take hold of his speech, so as to deliver him up to the rule and to the authority of
the governor.

  21 And they asked him, saying, Teacher, we know that thou sayest and teachest rightly, and
acceptest not the person of any, but of a truth teachest the way of God:

  22 Is it lawful for us to give tribute unto Caesar, or not?

  23 But he perceived their craftiness, and said unto them,

  24 Show me a denarius. Whose image and superscription hath it? And they said, Caesar's.

  25 And he said unto them, Then render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and unto
God the things that are God's.

  26 And they were not able to take hold of the saying before the people: and they marvelled
at his answer, and held their peace.

  27 And there came to him certain of the Sadducees, they that say that there is no
resurrection;

  28 and they asked him, saying, Teacher, Moses wrote unto us, that if a man's brother die,
having a wife, and he be childless, his brother should take the wife, and raise up seed unto
his brother.

  29 There were therefore seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and died childless;

  30 and the second:

  31 and the third took her; and likewise the seven also left no children, and died.

  32 Afterward the woman also died.

  33 In the resurrection therefore whose wife of them shall she be? for the seven had her to
wife.

  34 And Jesus said unto them, The sons of this world marry, and are given in marriage:

  35 but they that are accounted worthy to attain to that world, and the resurrection from the
dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage:

  36 for neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are sons of
God, being sons of the resurrection.

  37 But that the dead are raised, even Moses showed, in the place concerning the Bush, when
he calleth the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.

11
  38 Now he is not the God of the dead, but of the living: for all live unto him.

  39 And certain of the scribes answering said, Teacher, thou hast well said.

  40 For they durst not any more ask him any question.

  41 And he said unto them, How say they that the Christ is David's son?

  42 For David himself saith in the book of Psalms, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my
right hand,

  43 Till I make thine enemies the footstool of thy feet.

  44 David therefore calleth him Lord, and how is he his son?

  45 And in the hearing of all the people he said unto his disciples,

  46 Beware of the scribes, who desire to walk in long robes, and love salutations in the
marketplaces, and chief seats in the synagogues, and chief places at feasts;

  47 who devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayers: these shall receive
greater condemnation.....”.

The religious people had misinterpreted the Scriptures . Their wrong interpretation of the
scriptures meant that by their creeds and traditions the WORD OF GOD was made of non
effect in their lives. ( Mark 7 verse 13 ).

They could not manifest the WORD OF GOD.

Like Joseph’s brethren that hated Joseph for his DIVINE GIFT OF DREAMS AND VISIONS, the
Pharisees hated the LORD Jesus.

Like Cain that murdered Abel, the Pharisees went about to kill the LORD JESUS.

They knew that the LORD JESUS had AUTHORITY over the world , the flesh and the devil.

They didnot know that He was the LORD from glory, for had they known , they would not
have crucified Him.

On the cross He said “....Father forgive them for they know not what they do....”. ( Luke 23
verse 34 ).

Thank God He arose from dead, triumphant over death hell and the grave and is alive
forevermore.

Nicodemus said to the LORD Jesus in John 3 verse 1 :

12
“.....Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God : for no man can do these
miracles that Thou doest , except God be with Him....” ( John 3 verse 1 ).

Among many things they failed to know by revelation : -

They failed to recognize that he was “.... The Christ, the Son of the Living God.....”. ( Matthew
16 verse 16 ).

They did not know that “....He was the Word made flesh....” dwelling in their midst . ( John 1
verse 14 ).

He was the fulfilment of Genesis 3 verse 15 ; Isaiah 7 verse 14 ; Isaiah 9 verse 6 ; Isaiah 26 verse 19 .

They failed to recognize GOD MANIFESTED IN THEIR MIDST (1 Timothy 3 verse 16 ) .

He was the “....Lamb slain from before the foundation of the world......” ( Revelation 13 verse 8 ).
Amen and Amen.

In Romans 8 verse 22 to 29 :

“......  22 For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until
now.

  23 And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we
ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our
body.

  24 For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why
doth he yet hope for?

  25 But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.

  26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for
as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be
uttered.

  27 And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he
maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.

  28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who
are the called according to his purpose.

  29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his
Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.....”.

Thank God for redemption. Thank God for the Blood of Jesus Christ the New and Everlasting
Covenant. Thank God for the Resurrection. Thank God for the New Birth. Amen and Amen.

13
Believers refuse the world to forcefully fit and be squeezed into a cosmos apostate mould for the
secular modernistic person that has sold out his birthright.

The Believer’s refuse to conform to the image of apostasy and refuse to take the MARK OF THE
BEAST. ( Revelation 13 verses 11 to 18 ).

Like the three Hebrew boys that refused to bow down to the Babylonian image built by
Nebuchadnezzar , the believers refuse to bow down to the ANTICHRIST and to BE CONFORMED
INTO A COSMOS IMAGE. Amen and Amen.

14
