Did you know that God has come four times on earth in a human body?
God created all things by His word, saying each time: that this or that is done and everything was accomplished on His word.
The first physical presence of God on earth is when He said, Let us make man in our image, He makes by His own hands using the earth as a potter makes pots. God made man like His image according His likeness.
Genesis 1v26-27: And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
Genesis 2v7: And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
Second physical presence of God on earth when He was met Abram (who will be Abraham).
Genesis 14v18-19: And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high God. And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of the most high God, possessor of heaven and earth.
Hebrews 7V1-3: For this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him; To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all; first being by interpretation King of righteousness, and after that also King of Salem, which is, King of peace; Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of God; abideth a priest continually.
The third physical presence of God on earth was to change the name of Jacob to Israel, God became man and humble little to fight with Jacob and let it defeat Him, and touched the hollow of his hip to stop the fight.
Genesis 32v24-30: And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day. And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him. And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me. And he said unto him, What is thy name? And he said, Jacob. And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed. And Jacob asked him, and said, Tell me, I pray thee, thy name. And he said, Wherefore is it that thou dost ask after my name? And he blessed him there. And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.
The fourth physical presence of God on earth was to save mankind by coming to earth in a human body (Jesus Christ), born from a virgin.
Isaiah 9v6: For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
1 John 5v20: And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.
Col 2v9: For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
Our God is able to make man to come to earth because He created man in His image after His likeness.
God bless you! Hawa Esther Maiga
