The Great God


Text: Deuteronomy 10:17. For the LORD your God is God of gods, and Lord of lords, a great God, a mighty, and a terrible, which regardeth not persons, nor taketh
reward:

Talking about the greatness of God seems to be attempting too much a task. This is because, no man is knowledgeable enough to describe His greatness to the fullness. When you talk of great, you are referring to extraordinary place, person, or thing. In Hebrew usage of this word, Great could mean abundant in quantity, size, age, number, rank, quality. In Greek term it means two words, megas, Heb.4:14 and Polus Eph.2:4.
As we examine the extraordinary God, our mega God, Moses described Him to be "...a great God, a mighty, and a terrible, which regardeth not persons, nor taketh reward:” we will just discuss two things about this our Great God.
1. His Position
2. His Power

1. The Position of our God: He is God of gods. The word of God says in 1 Chronicles 16:25 "For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised: he also is to be feared above all gods. Also in Psalm 47:2 "For the LORD most high is terrible; he is a great King over all the earth" No one among all that men worshipped or feared is greater than Him. He is greater than the greatest. He was before everything. He created all things and remains eternally supreme over the angels, idols, kings and all things. Colossians chapter 1 verses 16- 18 says,  "For by him were all things created, that are in  heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible,  whether they be thrones, or dominions, or  principalities, or powers: all things were created  by him, and for him: And he is before all things,  and by him all things consist. And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence." Any demon, person or situation posing a threat to your life and businesses shall bow before our great God in Jesus name.
2. The Power of God: Our God is not only great in position, but in power. He is able to know all things, do all things and control all things. "For though we walk in the flesh, we  do not war after the flesh: (For the weapons of  our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through  God to the pulling down of strong holds;)  Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the  obedience of Christ;" 1 Corinthians 10: 3 -6. He is mightier than the mightiest.
Mohammed Ali the world boxing champion once identified himself in his own evaluation, “I am the greatest!” today; he is can’t stand on his own. He has all power to handle your situation. Mary spoke of the Great Things of God Luke 1:49 "For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holy is his name." The same God of power will surprise you in Jesus name. What men fail to do He will do in hiHis power in Jesus mighty name.
He did great thing in the life of the man of Gadara and he became a talking point in town and cities till date. He is alive to do greater things if you will surrender your life to him. You are to obey him and serve him with all your soul, spirit and strength. The Maniac of Gadara experienced and told of the Great Things of God Mark.5:19 20 Howbeit Jesus suffered him not, but
saith unto him, Go home to thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and hath had compassion on thee. And he departed, and began to publish in Decapolis
