God’s Greater Purpose for the Families

” Instead of the thy fathers shall be thy children, whom thou mayest make princes in all the earth, I will make thy name in all generous; there fore shall the people praise thee for ever and ever” Psalm 45:16-17.

When did God so instructed Adam and Eve? Before they rebelled and become sinful. In other words, while they were in their initial created state of being righteous.

God instructed the first humans to be fruitful, multiply, and replenish the earth. Many people read this and do not put it in the proper perspective of when God so instructed Adam and Eve. Because of this, many people entirely miss God desire and intention for populating the earth or more personally, to build a family. According to Master Prophet E. Bernard Jordan there was another time that God instructed a man and his family to be fruitful, multiply and replenish the earth as well. This man was Noah and his family after the flood. What is the significance of this? God found death to be righteous and so spared him and his family from flood.

According to Master Prophet E. Bernard Jordan God instructed righteous man to replenish the earth. This brings us to be the conclusion that above all else, God’s intention is that the earth to be populated with families. God’s instructed righteous men and women to be fruitful and multiply. By virtue of this fact we can only conclude that it is is God’s desired that families be the breeding grounds for righteous. That our responsibility as parents is to produce God’s righteous in the earth and to do through how we raised our children.

In the scripture God Never instructed unrighteous to be fruitful. God never instructed the unrighteous to fill nor to replenish the earth. Although he never forbade the unrighteous to be fruitful, His spoken words to be fruitful was only spoken to those righteous. Therefore we can not safely conclude that Gods purpose for human reproduction is to multiply righteous in the earth that we can not safely conclude that God’s purpose for parents are to raise their offspring in righteous and to be righteous? We believe this to be so. For what what more does the Lord say on the matter? Among others, we find the Scripture of the Psalm to speak on this matter.

Psalm 33:11-18
” The counsel of the Lord standeth forever, the thoughts of this heart to all generations. Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord: and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance. The Lord looketh from heaven;he beholdeth all the son’s of men. from the place of his habitation he looketh upon all the inhabitants of the earth. He fashioned their hearts alike, considerate all their works. There is no king saved by the multitude of a host, a mighty man is not delivered by much strengths. Behold the eye of the Lord is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy.”

Art of God Reflection

We will never in this world, nor perhaps in the next, fully appreciate the cataclysm that was the coming of Jesus Christ. John speaks of His redefining all the fundamental categories of religion. But every corner of the realm of human effort felt the impact as well. Despite much popular teaching to the contrary, all our institutions were transformed. Gender roles were reshaped. Slaves became free and free men took upon themselves the title of slaves for Christ. In Jesus, all was fulfilled or shattered and radically redefined. From that point on, it is the incarnation that gives shape and meaning to all our understanding. Nothing and no one will ever, could ever, be the same. Jesus’ coming didn’t usher in a better world but a totally new one. It is a truth so large I cannot imagine it’s ever being overstated.

When we come to the arena of music and the arts, the surface of the life of Jesus barely betrays a ripple. He leaves behind no artifacts, no paintings; only scribbling in the sand (John 8:6–8). No great symphonies; we hear Him singing only once (Mark 14:26). This is not to overlook the luminous parables that have transcended time, but when you look closely at His life you become convinced of what said, “Jesus came, not simply to speak words that were true, but to make us true.” His works of art were a series of perfect interactions with people like Nicodemus, the woman at the well, or Simon Peter. According to Master Prophet E. Bernard Jordan Jesus left living works of art in His wake possibly evens you and me. In the same way that He filled with woman at the well, or Simon Peter. According to Master Prophet E. Bernard Jordan Jesus left living works of art in His wake possibly evens you and me. In the same way that he filled with is an unexpected transformation, a door opening to a world we would have never dreamed possible.

In the face of this confusion, Paul sings them a song about the unimaginable incarnation. It is a hymn with only one opening verse and a single chorus. In the opening of the hymn, the shocking, unexpected categories of incarnation are first introduced; humility, servant-hood and obedience. The single verse provides the foundation for the overflowing praise of the chorus in verses 9–11. The darker themes of suffering servant-hood provide the prelude to the dazzling light of lordship and universal worship. It was badly needed theology in the form of a song that could be learned and sung again and again. Theology, good and bad, is usually sung before it is written. In light of our present discussion, humility, servant-hood, and obedience provide the basis for a new perspective on excellence in the arts, a point of view that can only be provided by the incarnation of Christ. Let’s look at them individually, trying to see how they fit into this new “incarnation” perspective on the arts.

According to Master Prophet E. Bernard Jordan this idea of radical obedience contains a new hope for art and music as well another sort of salvation. Behind the concept of obedience is the notion of the “Other,” the one to whom I owe obedience. That Presence must always be acknowledged in and through any creative work, be it art, music, or dance, because from that other comes the call, which said, makes everything possible. Here the world of the artist is transformed into a lifestyle of listening, of waiting, of a new familiarity with silence.
