“Thus saith the Lord the King of Israel, and his redeemer the Lord of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God.’’
Isaiah 44:6 KJV
Before we go into today’s study, let us do a quick exercise of reading aloud the anchor text three times. Did something ring a bell as you read it? One thing you must have noticed in the account of God’s introduction of Himself is ……beside me, there is no God! This is a very definitive, and assertive statement of truth. Often, we misquote this scripture as …beside me there is no other God. To say this, is to assume the same status of God to another or to acknowledge that there are several Gods at it were. He is God over all. He is God and God alone!
There are dimensions of God that you need to experience in this season. One of these is Jesus, the Alpha. It is not just a name; it is a call to action. Alpha, according to the dictionary implies the beginning, the birthing, the first in position or class. The account of Isaiah 44:6 in the NLT translation describes this better - “This is what the Lord says—Israel’s King and Redeemer, the Lord of Heaven’s Armies: “I am the First and the Last; there is no other God.” Are you contending for a position, a business, or a contract? Are you believing God for a breakthrough in any area? May the One whose name is Alpha deliver it into your hands in Jesus' name.
In the world we have handyman which is a person who is skilled at a wide range of repairs according to the Wikipedia. When engaging them, you need to be as specific as possible on which area of expertise you need their services for. You do not invite them to bring plumbing skills and tools when you have an electrical issue. The same is true of Jesus, the Alpha.
When you want to begin something new in your life, never go without inviting the Alpha. Jesus is the Alpha.
As a believer, you must know how to engage with God on different dimensions based on your situation. When you need an extraordinary thing to start manifesting in your life, you need the Alpha. When you want to get to the level that no one has ever gotten to in your family, call on the Alpha. When you want to begin something new in your life, never go without inviting the Alpha. Jesus is the Alpha. May Jesus, the Alpha, begin every good thing that your heart longs for today.
In His capacity as the Alpha, He is the Creator according to Genesis 1:1. Whatever you are looking for, this day, may the Alpha create it for you. When you engage Him on this level, ideas that never existed would be birthed in your minds, and for someone reading this, roles that never existed would be created just for you this day.
