Devil's attack on Glory

What was the first attack of the devil on humankind? It was an attack on the glory as

Romans 3:23 says, “For all have sinned and fell short of the glory of God.”

To understand this let us also read, Genesis 2:17,“but you must not eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil for when you eat it you will surely die.” God created man in his image and likeness; he was allowed to eat from anything but not from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. The serpent came to the woman and said “God knows that when you eat of it you will be like him and he does not want you to be like him.” (Genesis3:5)

That was a lie for they were already like him as I mentioned earlier that Glory means to be ‘like Him.’ So, the first attack on mankind was the attack on glory. We further read that God questioned them as to who told them that they were naked. In other words, God’s question to Adam and Eve was that that how did they fall from glory? (Genesis 3:10, 11) Now, that sounds like a frivolous question! If someone is naked, isn’t it obvious that they would know that they are naked and there would be probably no need for someone to tell them. But God was not asking them about physical nakedness. They were covered and immersed in the glory which was their very foundation. God’s question to Adam and Eve was how did they fell from glory?

My Testimony - Apostle Winston Joseph, Ph. D

Healed from Asthama Many years ago, I had asthma. It was a hereditary disease in my family and I witnessed one of my aunts who died because of it in a very dreadful situation. She was hanged upside down to ease her predicament. I had the same disease and there was a time in my life when I could not sit nor stand because of the illness. I could not breathe properly and sometimes I used to have excruciating pain at my back due to the that illness. Also, I had severe dust allergy, even if a little dust went into my nostrils, I would sneeze for a long time. But when I came to know that the Word is the truth and that the fact can be changed through the truth , I started to take hold of the Word and declare and decree it for days and days. Devil used to show me the fact that this disease is incurable. But I kept on declaring the truth i.e. the Word until I was totally healed and delivered from that disease. Now I know that I am born of the Spirit, walking in glory in divine health whi...

CELEBRATION OF SALVATION

The Monthly Devotional E-magazine for December titled "CELEBRATION OF SALVATION" by their Excellency, Apostle Winston Joseph and Sister Parveen Winston is now available for all Partners of AWJM. Many a man has been looking for salvation. They assume that they would receive salvation through some knowledgeable person or through some religious performance that is like saying that their act would take them through. Of course, we honour them those knowledgeable and wise men who have done well for the country today and are gone There are some exemplary in whose honour we have names of roads, flyovers, towns, railway stations, airports, colleges, universities etc. However, redemption is impossible through knowledgeable or wise men or through religious performance because to redeem men is not in the hands of men. In reality, it is only the Bible that says, ‘Every human must attain salvation’ but the question remains how? Salvation is the Preciou...

परमेश्वर मेरा प्रथम स्थान

भजन संहिता १३९:१ हे यहोवा, तू ने मुझे जाँचकर जान लिया है। हे परमेश्वर, तूने मुझे जाँचकर जान लिया है इस अध्याय के, शुरुआत में भजनकार यह कहता है कि “ हे परमेश्वर, तूने मुझे जाँचकर जान लिया है,अर्थात परमेश्वर एक व्यक्ति को जाँचने के बाद ही जान लेता है’’|अब यहाँ पर सवाल यह उठता है कि परमेश्वर ऐसा क्यों करते है | जी हाँ, इस सवाल का जवाब काफी सरल है परमेश्वर एक व्यक्ति को इसलिए परखता है क्योंकि वह यह देखना चाहता है कि उस व्यक्ति का दिल “ परमेश्वर के प्रेम के प्रति है या नहीं ’’और ख़ासकर उस व्यक्ति के जीवन में उसका “प्रथम स्थान’’ है या नहीं | आपको एक बात हमेशा याद रखनी है कि आपको अपने पति, पत्नी, बच्चे या फिर धन — संपत्ति यानि सारी चीजों से बढ़कर और सबसे ऊँचा जो प्रेम करना है, वो परमेश्वर से प्रेम करना है | जैसे दाऊद राजा को परमेश्वर ने जाँच लिया था कि यह मेरे दिल के मुताबिक व्यक्ति है | परमेश्वर ने वाचा के अनुसार अब्राहम को बेटा दिया; जब उसकी उम्र सौ वर्ष की थी और बाद में उस बे...
