DID JESUS EVER CALLED HIMSELF GOD?

Image
 Many unbeliever, atheist and muslim had argued that Jesus never called himself God in the bible, I saw a video that one muslim sheikh made an open challenge that if anyone can point out where Jesus called himself God in the new testament he would become a Christian, This pushed me to dig deep to the word of Jesus to affirm what Jesus said about himself. Jesus was to these people as a nice guy and a great teacher and also a messenger of God like others.

WHAT DOES THE LAW   MEANS? It simply means the whole system of rules that everyone in a society must obey.The world is governed by various laws emanating from God,it may not be known to some people because it is written in proverbs 25:2 " it is the glory of God to conceal a thing,but the honour of kings is to search out a matter" .God delights to conceal things, scientists delights in discovering things, most of what scientist are discovering are what God has concealed.God work on principles and whosoever understand it, nothing can stop such a person in life. One of these principles which has always proven true in every generation since man has been created is the law of perseverance . The law of perseverance simply means the quality of continuing to try to achieve a particular aim in spite of difficulties. We live in a culture of impatience and easy quilting.we are in a generation of an instant things and quick gratification, most people want what they want now now ...
