The University Of God : The Revelation
MAN – GOD’S PRODIGAL SON
Do you know that you are a work of art? Man is the greatest product of God. I mean, a man designed to think, plan and act with God. Are you living in tune with God? What is your status before God today?
Without the indwelling grace of the Holy Spirit, man is but a shadow of the one God created!
The man God created was not a mere carnal one governed by his senses but a communicator between the visible and invisible worlds. God and man used to talk together freely as a man speaks to his friend.
But one day man broke the relationship by disobedience and went away from God. He then went further away and finally he left home. He left his native land, Eden, where he lived with God. He emigrated from God’s presence. Since then, God has always been eager to get talking with man again but man, in leaving the presence of His Creator, had lost his mother tongue.
I mean, man lost his original language with God and became unable to communicate with his Creator in spirit and in truth. The natural man can no longer hear and talk to God. This is the challenge facing us today.
Although God speaks again and again, so many do not pay attention to what He says (Job 33:14).
The silence is hard on God. As eager as the father of the prodigal son was to see him come back home, God is eager to be on intimate terms again with His old friend.
So, He had to use a language that man could understand. Therefore, God sent his Son on earth, Jesus Christ to bring man, His old friend, back to Himself. God honoured the human language by calling Jesus the Word. The Word became flesh and entered the world. Jesus is God spelling Himself out in a language that man can understand, a language of spirit and life (John 6:63).
For how long will we continue to talk, think and live in the natural when Jesus is waiting for you at the point of His Spirit?
It is time to go back to the college of God and seek the Spirit.
The Vision
A passion has kindled in our hearts to impart the treasure that God has given us – the living Word in the power of the Holy Spirit!
The letter of the Word cannot move, cannot operate without the life of God (John 6:63).
Every Word of God is Spirit and life and it is the very life of God in that Word that makes it work, that injects the energy, the power to the Word. This is the Word that saves, heals, delivers and enables the believer to live a victorious life in Christ. Like Simon Peter in John 6:68, we have discovered that there is no alternative to Jesus because only He has the Words of eternal life.
On 8 December 2021, I (Racine) received a powerful vision from God and the name The University of God was given to me.
While I was pondering on the vision, my heart prompted me to the Book of Daniel 2:44 – 45, “In the time of those kings, the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed, nor will it be left to another people. It will crush all those kingdoms and bring them to an end, but it will itself endure forever. This is the meaning of the vision of the rock cut out of a mountain, but not by human hands—a rock that broke the iron, the bronze, the clay, the silver and the gold to pieces.”
What is the purpose of the rock? As it says in Jeremiah 1:10, “See, today I appoint you over nations and kingdoms to uproot and tear down, to destroy and overthrow, to build and to plant.”
The purpose of the rock is to remove the barrier between our heart and God. When a man yields his heart to the Holy Spirit, the veil is taken away. The Word of God is the seed of divine life that comes into our heart and causes faith to grow.
The vision is for an appointed time (Habakkuk 2:3). Now, the time has come.
The vision – to link man back to God through His Word, by His Spirit, to edify the Body of Christ and cooperate with a network of churches throughout the globe – is in line with the calling and gift of God in our lives.
The rock in the vision that came from Heaven is the Word of the Kingdom of God as Jesus called it in Matthew 13:19.
Our vision is to help get the Word into people’s hearts – for it is only there that it works effectively.
“You show that you are a letter from Christ, the result of our ministry, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts.”
The recurring questions raised by so many during lectures have drawn our focus to the practical side of Christianity, our daily walk with the Holy Spirit:
How to develop spiritual awareness
How to hear God
How to build our faith in the face of life’s uncertainties
These core issues and others will be addressed under the guidance of the Holy Spirit through in-depth teaching sessions with time for interactive questions and answers.
Our vision also embraces local churches all around the world. We want to cooperate with ministries around the world for spiritual growth by imparting our knowledge, experience and spiritual gifts as the Spirit leads. It is only when today’s church realises that the spirit of man is the fountain of faith that the Holy Spirit will be involved in our affairs.

THE ROOT
WE BELIEVE IN:
We believe in the Holy Scriptures as originally given by God, divinely inspired, infallible, entirely trustworthy; and the supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct. God does nothing without His Word and His Word is Spirit and life. The Bible is the Christian’s guide for belief and practice which contains the truth of Christ. Holy men of God were carried along by the Holy Spirit as they spoke the message that came from God. The Holy Bible is more than long-ago events and ancient wisdom. It is God’s message of grace and truth to us today. Sin points one to eternal death and destruction but God’s Word points one to life (2 Timothy 3:15-17; 2 Peter 1:20-21; Proverbs 30:5).
We believe in one God, eternally existent in three persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. (Deuteronomy 6:4; Matthew 28:19; John 10:30).
We believe in our Lord Jesus Christ, God manifest in the flesh, His virgin birth, His sinless human life, His divine miracles, His vicarious and atoning death, His bodily resurrection, His ascension, His mediatorial work, and His personal return in power and glory (Colossians 2:9; Hebrews 4:15; Acts 2:22-24; Acts 1:11). Jesus Christ came to restore the relationship and fellowship between God and man. As to His human nature, Jesus Christ was a descendant of David. As to His divine nature, He was shown with great power to be the Son of God by being raised from death on the third day. Now He sits at the right hand of the throne of God (Hebrews 12:2; Romans 1:2-4). He was at all points tempted just as we are yet was without sin. Jesus Christ loves us, died for us, reigns in power for us and still prays for us. Jesus Christ will come again, just as He went away (1 Thessalonians. 4:16-17, Acts 1:11).
We believe in the salvation of lost and sinful mankind through the shed Blood of the Lord Jesus Christ by faith apart from works, and regeneration by the Holy Spirit. Salvation is to be set free from sin and its penalties and is received by faith in the cleansing power of the Blood of Jesus Christ. Each man has to accept Jesus Christ as his personal Lord and Saviour, believing His resurrection from the dead, otherwise Jesus’ death will not save him. To be born again, not only must we have God’s Word but also His Spirit, mixed with repentance and faith in our hearts (Ephesians 2:8-9; Titus 3:3-7; 1 Corinthians 6:11).
We believe in the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling grace the believer is enabled to live a holy life, to witness and work for the Lord Jesus Christ (Romans 8:9-13; Galatians 5:16-25; 2 Corinthians 3:17-18).
We believe in the unity of the Spirit of all true believers, the Church, the Body of Christ (1 Corinthians 12:13; John 17:20-23; Ephesians 2:19-22; Ephesians 4:4-6).
We believe in the Resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved unto the resurrection of life, they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation (1 Corinthians 15:42-44; 1 John 5:10-12; Matthew 25:46).
