Preface

Why Are We Here?

We know that there is one God; who is the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. We have been taught by pastors, prophets and teachers of the word of God that He is almighty. We are going to start on a journey that will enlighten you on finding God. There are some people who have consulted the dead to try and make purpose of their lives and why they are here! The dead are in the know of what is surrounding the events of this current age and the age to come. Why are we here and who is the One that is called the Lord? We often hear that the Lord is called the Lord of lords. Why is the Lord the Lord of lords? I will explain to you in this book who He is and why He is the Lord of lords. The Lord is not in any way looking for a human being to tell him what to do. He is looking for a man to tell what to do. The premise that the Lord is able to be told what to do will eventually make no meaning by the time you complete your reading of this book. We live in a time where people are always in constant quest for knowledge and the sources of knowledge. Knowledge can either be acquired from the Lord or from lords. This is a world that has all sorts of curses that are upon the people who live in it; the earth itself is cursed. The Lord is the only way for a man to reach God. How are we able to find the Lord so that we can reach God? This is the problem that this book is supposed to help you solve.

Chapter One

What Is The Genesis?

We have a book that is as common as salt to help us understand who God is. However, there are so many unexplained books in what we call the Bible. It is a collection of books that make up what we have as scripture. What are these books for? They are for us to relate to the One true God. These books contain many stories that tell us who the Lord is and what His purpose is for our redemption. The Lord has made a plan that has been set from the foundation of the earth. What has the Lord done? He has been to earth in physical form to die for the redemption of mankind. He has been despised by the world that He came to redeem. He has been to the world that he purposed to redeem and the world rejected him. This is why there are so many people who are not able to reach God. If a man has a problem with reaching God, he should ask himself one essential question: what is the Lord saying about my relationship with Him? If he can learn about why there is a plan for redemption, he will be saved. How will a man find salvation? It is what this book will be able to solve at the time such a man starts calling upon the name of the Lord.

Have you ever heard of the name above all names? The name Jesus is the Lord’s own name. If you call upon the Lord but omit Jesus, you will call upon a lord that you will not desire to call God. If you call on a lord and that lord comes, you will not desire the consequences of that adventure. Who is a lord? A lord is a spirit that is not of God. If you adventure with magic, you will conjure a lord over your whole being that will give and take away from you. What is it that such a lord will take away? He will cause you to lose some of the gifts that God has given to you from the foundation of this earth. God has gifted everyone on earth in one way or another. There are people who have gifts that they do not even know of; some are gifted with wealth, others with knowledge, wisdom, understanding, beauty, music, health, peace, love, authority, oratory, discernment, children and grandchildren among many others. A man who has a gift from the Lord will expect it to bring him joy. If you have a gift from a lord, you will not experience joy. You may be happy but will never experience the joy that a person who has been gifted by the Lord will experience.

If you are a person who admires what a lord can give, you will end up receiving gifts meant for other people. How? If you are able to understand the scriptures, you will learn that the thief comes to kill steal and destroy. A man who is willing to give the devil an opportunity will lose some of his gifts to the enemy. He is called Lucifer. He is the deceiver and the father of all lies. If you cooperate with the enemy, you will lose the gifts that the Lord gave to you from the foundation of the earth. The enemy uses those stolen gifts to bless his own people. Who are the people that the enemy blesses? They are people who are usually admired by most of us. They have all that you think the Lord cannot give to you. If you are a doubtful person, you will glorify the enemy. If you have faith, you will please the Lord. These are spirits that we shall learn about later in this book.

What is a gift of a wealth? A man who has a job has not yet experienced the Lord’s wealth. If he has an income from that job, he is either rich or struggling but is not wealthy. Wealth is a gift that does not require a man to struggle to live. If you have to work hard to earn a living, you are not wealthy even if you may be an employer or a business owner! A Wealthy person does not need to work to earn a living. Such a person lives on the abundance of the Lord’s blessing. A blessing is not earned but comes with obedience to the Lord. How can a man become obedient to the Lord? He will have to learn how to hear the Lord’s voice. The Lord is always speaking in a person’s life. There is no way a person can say the Lord is quiet! The Lord is not quiet and is always speaking to the people who love Him. Have you ever been able to hear the Lord’s voice? It is something that most people think is impossible. I once had a friend who told me that hearing the Lord speak is not something that happens in this modern age! He assumed the Lord only spoke to the Old Testament prophets and not in this age. He was a minister of music in the church and was a person I admired. I was discouraged when I heard what a man whom I considered was a mature Christian was telling me; that the Lord does not speak! I was unable to heed to his words. I have now proved that he was wrong. The Lord does speak. I have heard the Lord speak most often in my life. I have been commissioned by the Lord to proclaim to people in this modern age that He is calling out to them who are searching for Him and that He is willing to speak to them if they are willing. The Lord is not going to force anyone to desire His love. If you are willing to search for the Lord’s voice, He will speak and you will hear His voice. If you are unable to search, you may not hear the Lord’s voice. What is the experience like? We will study that question throughout this book.

How will you start on your own journey to hear the Lord speak? You have to know that there are some things that you do not need to search for! If you want to hear the Lord speak, you need to start by fearing the Lord. If you fear the Lord, you will begin to receive knowledge from the Lord. How can you begin to fear the Lord? You need to have the Lord’s Spirit in you. He is called the Holy Spirit. If you have the Holy Spirit in you, you will begin to fear the Lord. The Holy Spirit is the One who confirms what the Lord is saying within you. There is a lot of confusion for some people as to whether the Holy Spirit is the conscience. If you have the Holy Spirit, you will need your conscience to work with the Holy Spirit. If you do not have the Holy Spirit, you are already disadvantaged in this quest. The Holy Spirit is a person. He is Jesus! If you are asking for a way of reaching God, it is the Holy Spirit who will guide you on the way to go about that journey, depending on what the Lord has willed. If you have the Holy Spirit, He will guide you to start reaching out to the Lord. How will you know that the Lord is speaking to you? There are numerous ways that the Lord may speak to a person! He may speak through:

• A Dream

• A Prophet

• The Holy Spirit or the word of God

• An Audible Voice

• An Impression

• A Vision

How can a person recognise a dream is from the Lord? If a dream is from the Lord, it will not cause the person to whom it has
