THE OLDEST WORKMAN OF GOD – Tuesday September 20th
2016
Memorise: In the beginning was
the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. John 1:1
Read: Proverbs 8:22-35, (KJV)
23 I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or
ever the earth was.
24 When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when
there were no fountains abounding with water.
25 Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I
brought forth:
26 While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields,
nor the highest part of the dust of the world.
27 When he prepared the heavens, I was there: when he set a
compass upon the face of the depth:
28 When he established the clouds above: when he
strengthened the fountains of the deep:
29 When he gave to the sea his decree, that the waters
should not pass his commandment: when he appointed the foundations of the earth:
30 Then I was by him, as one brought up with him: and I was
daily his delight, rejoicing always before him;
31 Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth; and my
delights were with the sons of men.
32 Now therefore hearken unto me, O ye children: for blessed
are they that keep my ways.
33 Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not.
34 Blessed is the man that heareth me, watching daily at my
gates, waiting at the posts of my doors.
35 For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favour
of the Lord.

MESSAGE
The
very first indication of God’s work in creation is recorded in the book of
Genesis chapter one. The oldest workman of God would therefore be referring to
a character involved in the activities at the beginning of all things. Proverbs
8:22-23 hints as fellows: Open Heavens 20 September 2016:- The
Oldest Workman of God
“The Lord possessed me in the
beginning of his way, Before his works of old. I was set up from everlasting,
from the beginning, Or ever the earth was.”
And John 1:1-3
says,
“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.”
The
oldest worker of God in the person of our Lord Jesus Christ (Hebrews 7:3),
is a personality having neither beginning of days nor end of life. He is
without father, without mother, no descendants; He lives in eternity and abides
forever. The Bible says that the Almighty God possessed Jesus in the very
beginning, before His works of old. This is a mystery. He was with God in the
beginning of creation and all things were made by Him, whether visible or
invisible, physical or spiritual. Psalms 19:1-2 says:
“The heavens declare the glory of
God; And the firmament sheweth his handywork. Day unto day uttereth speech, And
night unto night sheweth knowledge.”
His
excellent knowledge and perfect wisdom is visibly evident everywhere in
creation. The Heavens declared His glory, and His perfect creativity is
revealed in nature; the beautiful landscape, waterfalls, mountains, valleys,
and all the rivers in their places; the beautiful flowers and birds that sing,
all the small and great animals of the earth, and the abundant life under the
seas; the moon, the stars and the heavenly hosts, the appointed seasons, all
these are wonders of His creation. Also by Him, God established the clouds
above, and strengthened the fountains of the deep. He decreed to the sea, that
the waters should not pass the set boundary when he appointed the foundations of
the earth. Our Lord Jesus is great in power and excellent in glory, may His
name be praised forever. Let somebody shout Hallelujah. 20 September 2016 open
