By
The Man Who Saw God Face To Face

Worship God to know Him
and know Him to worship Him.
… Mohammed

God said “And Ye shall seek me and find me,
when ye shall search for me with all your heart.”
 Jeremiah 29:23


GOD IS TRUTH
         As a child of God, you should know God as Truth. “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.” John1:1-5

The same fact is stated in Genesis 1:1-3 However, the Genesis record is incomplete. It should read,

And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. The light was from God, and the light was God. All things were created out of the light, out of God: for the word of God is light, and that light is God. Genesis 1:1-3 (Modified)

The ‘first time’ God spoke to me was in the 1980’s while I was at a Sabbath prayer house. His voice embodied his signature: His Name, His Presence, Himself, His Spirit, His Word and His Divinity. I bear witness that the Word of God is God. “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” John 1:1 (From Everlasting Wonders by Nweze Raphael)

GOD AS A PERSON
         First, God is Spirit. Spirit is the Finest Substance, which is Self-Existent, Self-Conscious, Intelligent and Self-Enabled. Being Able, indeed Almighty, it can assume a particular shape in order to accomplish set purposes. Hence, God became manifest in the shape of man, having head, hands, legs, etc. It was after this glorious form and nature that He created man. The Igbo people call man “Mma m di” or “Mmandu” which means the following:
Mma m di - The Beauty of Myself; The Glory of Myself. (Myself being God.)
Mma ndu - The Beauty of Life; The Glory of Life.

         This glory of God is not the flesh. It is the spirit that indwells the flesh. The Bible testifies that the molded body did not become a living being until spirit came from God and indwelt it. “And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and (man did not start to live until He) breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.” Genesis 2: 7

GOD IS LOVE (UNIVERSAL LOVE, JESUS CHRIST)
         God is love. It is Almighty God that is Jesus Christ. That is why He was able to proclaim the Truth, in the Truth, by the Truth, for the Truth, as the Truth and with the Truth.

“I am the Way, the Truth and Life.”

God’s love is manifest in nature as loving-kindness, mercy and generosity.
There is abundance of air for us to breath.
There is abundance of light by which we see.
There is abundance of energy with which we do all things.
There is abundance of water for us to use.
There is abundance of land for us to live on.
There is abundance of atmosphere as our environment.
There is abundance of sky for our protection.
There is abundance of time, even eternity.
There is abundance of foods for us to eat.
There is abundance of animals, all to our benefits.
There is abundance of vegetables for own good.
Indeed, life abundant!.

GOD IS THE HOLY SPIRIT
         The Holy Spirit is the omnipresent form of God. For wherever there is a light source, three things are found as fire: heat, flame and light. Each is as powerful as the other two. Each can produce heat, flame and light, even a consuming fire. So God Almighty is Trinity: Almighty Father, Almighty Love (Jesus Christ) and Almighty Presence (Holy Spirit). The sun appears at a one place on the sky, yet its light is everywhere during the day. Likewise, God is outside the Universe, and yet His Presence, the Light from His body (the Holy Spirit) fills the entire Universe. That Light or Holy Spirit is God Himself.

GOD AS CONCIOUSNESS
         God is an Essence. This Essence is full of awareness and capabilities. God is therefore, The Universal Essence: Omnipotent, Omniscient and Omnipresent. By this Essence, God fills (pervades) the entire Universe. God is within all things and places, and yet separate from the Universe, because His Almighty. Just like the sun, which is outside the earth, controlling the earth with gravitational force and revolution, and at the same time it is inside the earth as light sustaining life, by which plants yield foods (photosynthesis), and it is also as heat inside the ground, empowering chemical reactions.
         Being an Essence, God can manifest as Light, Fire, Love, Spirit, Wind, etc. This explains why the Israelites saw God as a Pillar of Fire, as a Pillar of Cloud; Job meet Him in the Storm; Elijah meet Him in the Gentle Breeze; Solomon meet him as Light (Brightness); He came in the person of Jesus, and also appears in the form of White Dove (Holy Spirit). All the same God. All-In-All. Being an Essence, He can take any form He deems fit. For the time being, understand Consciousness as Something like the air (Invisible, Colourless, Odourless, Weightless and yet Full of Everlasting Intelligence and Omnipotent Energy).

GOD AS MANIFEST AND UNMANIFEST
         Is there anything that is manifest and unmanifest at the same time? Yes! It is the air. It is manifest in the sense that we feel it, breath it and blow it; also, it blows as wind. At the same time, it is unmanifest in the sense that it is not visible. So is God Almighty, who is both Manifest and Unmanifest, The Visible and The Invisible. Those who cannot prove His Manifest Form believe that He is invisible. At the same time, those who have seen and experienced God know that God can Make Himself manifest to whoever He wishes. Jesus confirms this Truth,

At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you. (At that day means when you become perfect or spiritually awake.) John 14:20

He that hath my commandments, and keeps them, he it is that loves me: and he that loves me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. John 14:21

When Philip asked Jesus to show them God Almighty, He seriously rebuked them saying “So, you don’t know that I am God Manifest.”

    GOD AS ALL-IN-ALL
             Five of the elements of life are spirit, water, sand, air and fire. All living things have these five elements. These elements are present in man, animals, plants, etc. All things are made of light. Hence, we live in a Light-Wave Universe. A Universe that is full of light waves, vibrations or motion. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. John 1:1-5

    LEVELS OF VIBRATION (MOTION)
             At the highest level of vibration, light becomes spirit. At lower levels of vibration, light becomes fire, and then changes to gas, before it transforms into liquid and finally solid. That is why solid can change back to liquid and liquid into gas. That is why the mountain can be moved from one place to another. Whatever that is made of light can easily be changed into a different shape or position. Lord Krishna actually moved a mountain, just as Jesus said, “…For verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.” Matthew 17:20

  • Spirit can pass through any object, including light.


  • At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you John 14:20


  • Spirit is light. One light can pass through another light. Also, one light can stay inside or unite with another light. This light is spirit. (Try this with two torchlights.)
