    About this ebook

    From the beginning, God had a plan for man. A perfect plan, one that was orchestrated in his perfect design. He made man in his image and after his likeness, for his purpose and glory. With superiority, glory, honor, and a little lower than the angels. There was a divine and superior connection between man and God. The plan, was for man to have dominion and authority over all that he created. The lord requires man to do justly, love mercy and walk humbly with him.

    But man grew to have plans of his own, due to the disobedience and the fall of Adam and Eve, sin entered the world and broke the divine connection. This fall opened the door to sin, sickness, disease, and the gate to hell. However, God still found a way to rescue fallen man. He sent Jesus his only begotten son to die on the cross for the sins of mankind. His love, grace, and mercy reached down and touch the hearts of man.

    Now man is no longer living under sin, but grace covers the multitude of sins. The lamb was sacrificed and the price was paid for sin, so now man can enjoy the divine connection to God once more. But this is a matter of choice, and not compulsory. The free gift of salvation is available for all to partake, but whosoever will may come. He will not cast out or turn away anyone.

    A major purpose of God’s divine plan for man is to provide endless blessings, supernatural abilities, and provisions. By accepting Jesus, the sacrificial lamb, man will experience fellowship, and communion with the divine trinity, the father, son, and Holy Spirit. There is nothing greater than this. This book takes a peep into the holy and unique, connection between God and man.

      Preface

      We cannot separate the Creator from his creation. We see God in everything he created. We can feel his gentle touch in the soft breeze. And as the bright ray of the warm sun shines on us, we feel the touch of the creator. The oceans roar and the trees bend their heads in reverence to the mighty God. Even the rocks are crying out in silence. This magnificent splendor speaks of the ability of an awesome creative God who is our father. 

      Can we ever capture the essence of God in anything? Hardly, But we can try. God is everything, limitless, and all-powerful. He is all in all. The purpose of this book is to cultivate in the reader the ability to see and understand the divine connection between God and man.

      Are we openly aware of it all?  Sometimes it seems as if we are too caught up in the world that we have created, desperately trying not to make God a part of it all. Yet he longs for a closer connection with us. He yearns for us to come back to the heart of who he is. Forsaking our idols and turning back to our first love. We hear his voice in the rushing rivers and come face to face with his fierceness in the rolling thunder and tempestuous storms.

      We make a feeble attempt to show the delicate qualities of the Creator who created everything and gave it specific qualities. To communicate with the Creator and satisfy our intrinsic yearning to seek out the Being who made us, we must learn to pay attention to the universe's silent message. There is a need in every one of us that yearns to find out more about the one in whose image we are created. To find our one true purpose and look far beyond this materialistic world to satisfy our innate spiritual desires. 

      We draw a contrast between the world we live in and the glorious home that awaits us in glory. This world is filled with problems, worries, and all manner of injustice. People frequently doubt God's existence as a result of this conflict, many claims that there is no God. This book dispels these objections by focusing on God's creation strategy. 

      For people looking to lead meaningful lives, the truth of life before death and life after death is emphasized. When we die, death is not the end, but the beginning of a new life with God in heaven. There is hope and a bright future to look forward to with great expectations.

      CHAPTER ONE

      MAN AND GOD

      THE CREATOR

      My pastor’s favorite saying was An image of God is the man in the mirror. There were many times I objected in my mind. I was only a teenager then and did not know God for myself. Eventually, his message became clearer. He explained that the divinity of God can rest in the human mortal man. Even with this clarity, I could not fully comprehend his message. Years later it still baffled me, even after I became a Christian.

      I pondered it over the years and concluded that to know ourselves we first have to know the creator. God is the creator of all things. Genesis 1:27 says, So God created man in his image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. So then, we see that we are created in his likeness, and most definitely for a grand purpose. God saw everything that he created was good. Man also had a good purpose. In Micah 6:8 the purpose of man is revealed, He hath showed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?

      No need to speculate on man's nature; we just need to get to know the Lord God his creator. But then, this is not an easy task. Who can know God? Can we truly comprehend the vastness of his existence and the glory of his splendor? The one who formed the heavens and sits on the circle of the earth. Isaiah said it better, It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in, (Isaiah 40:22 KJV). Who can truly know him?

      We can make an attempt, but that's all it will ever be. Anything else or any other matter can be explained away with science and imagination but not our God. He is in a class all by himself. No words to describe his awesomeness. We would need the tongues of billions of angels and yet that would be insignificant. Glory to his name. Man’s knowledge, wisdom, and understanding are minute compared to him. Who can understand his ways? He told us, For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. (Isaiah 55:9 KJV).

      All the thoughts of man are brought low and bowed down when we get to focus on who God is. Why? Because he cannot be explained away as most things can. Nevertheless, this arouses curiosity and fascination to know more about God, the maker of all things. Thoughts of God, enlarge and expand the human mind beyond his wildest imaginations. Just to know and believe that there is a higher power that moved upon the face of the deep and created all things is a wonder in itself.

      The quest for knowing more about God broadens man's knowledge and equips him with the enthusiasm to look further into the unknown to get clarity. In this search, he will find comfort and reassurance that the mighty one is loving, kind, considerate, and wants only the best for him.

      "God is a God at hand and not a God who is far off

      He hears every whisper; He sees every tear.

      He knows the number of hairs on our heads. He loves man with all his heart.

      And he wants us to love him with our heart, soul, mind, body, and spirit.

      He is seeking a deeper connection with man, through the power of his Holy Spirit. If you need comfort for your wounded heart; he is the comforter. If you are sick and need healing for your infirmities, he is Jehovah Rafah. He is the healer. The balm in Gilead. And when you need a friend, Jesus will hold your hands, dry your tears and wipe away all fears. He is a friend that sticks closer than a brother. Lean on him. He will calm every storm in your life. The mighty God of all flesh will take care of you. Just trust him.

      Take a deeper look

      We need to look at God in the deepest dimension. Why? You might ask. The answer is plain and simple. God is deep. To know enough about him we have to dig deep as well. We cannot just attempt to scratch the surface, we must try to expose the inner layer. If we know God, then we will be inclined to live like him and do his will. To know him, we have to look at who he is. This is not an option, it is a must. To advance and become a better version of ourselves, we must know the one who created us.

      Knowing the Father is all that matters

      He is the way maker; the problem solver;

      He is the creator of the universe.

      He is the maker of all things known and unknown

      God is all in all.

      If you do not know these things about the nature and character of God, then you will feel like you are stumbling through life, like the three blind mice. Not just that, but you can lose the blessings that come with knowing God. When you know God then you have a better understanding of yourself and who you are in him. This is invaluable information that
