God Dey Everywhere?
The answer wey Bible give
God fit see everything and e fit do anything for any place wey e choose. (Proverbs 15:3; Hebrews 4:13) But Bible no teach say God dey for everywhere and dey for everything. Instead, e show say God na person and e get place wey e de stay.
How God be: God na spirit person. (John 4:24) We no fit see God. (John 1:18) The visions for Bible about God show say God get one place wey e de stay. Bible no ever talk say God de live for everywhere—Isaiah 6:1, 2; Revelation 4:2, 3, 8.
The place wey God de stay: Bible talk say God de “stay for heaven.” This one mean say God no de stay for earth or for the sky, but na for heaven. (1 Kings 8:30) Bible even talk one time when the angels “enter to stand for front of Jehovah.” a This one show say God get one particular place wey e de stay.—Job 1:6.
If God no dey everywhere, e fit really care for me?
The answer na yes. God really de care for us one by one. Even though say God de live for heaven, e de see people wey want really do wetin e want and e de do something to help them. (1 Kings 8:39; 2 Chronicles 16:9) Make we see how Jehovah de show say e de care for e true servants:
When you pray: Jehovah fit hear your prayer quick even as you de pray—2 Chronicles 18:31.
When you de feel pain for heart: “Jehovah dey near people wey de feel say their own don finish; E de save people wey life don tire.”—Psalm 34:18.
When you need direction: Jehovah go us Bible “give you deep sense” and “teach you”—Psalm 32:8.
Wrong ideas wey people get say God dey everywhere
Wrong idea: God dey everywhere and de live inside the things wey e don make.
The truth: God no de stay for this earth or for sky for up. (1 Kings 8:27) Na true say the stars and other things wey God don make “de talk about the kind wonderful person wey God be.” (Psalm 19:1) Just the way person wey de draw no go live inside the things wey e draw, na so God no de live for inside the things wey e don make. Na true say the thing wey person draw de tell us something about the person. Na so still e be with Jehovah. The things wey e make de make us see “e character them wey eye no fit see” like power, better sense and love.—Romans 1:20.
Wrong idea: For God to know everything and control everything, e must dey everywhere.
The truth: The holy spirit na the power wey God de use do things. With e holy spirit, God fit know and do anything, for anywhere and for anytime. God no need to dey there.—Psalm 139:7.
Wrong Idea: Psalm 139:8 de teach say God dey everywhere as e talk say: “If I go heaven, you go dey there, and if I make my bed for inside Grave, see! you go dey there.”
The truth: This Bible verse no de talk about the place wey God dey. E just de teach say no place too far for God to do something to help us.
