Uniquness of the Kadazan culture

Gen 1:26 man=adam=kadazan
Luke 3:38

God's calling for the Kadazans is "to be His sons and daughters"
Kadazan = Sakag do Kinoingan

CULTURE:
The integrated pattern of human behaviour that includes THOUGHT, SPEECH, ACTION and inherited basic ATTITUDES, which is a result of human ability to learn and teach knowledge from one generation to another.
(Merriam Webster Dictonary)

"We are not angels ........but Kadazans!" Tun Fuad Stevens/Dtk Peter Mojuntin

" Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection." Luke 20:36

1Cor:6:3: Know ye not that we shall judge angels?

Mandate to rule:

Gen 1:26
.... over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth i.e. sea, air, land and living thing on Earth.

…..but because of disobedience, we have lost that mandate to the thief who came to steal, kill and destroy but Jesus (Huminundun/Huminodun) came to give life and life abundantly.

But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, even when we were dead in sins, had quickened us together with Christ, (by grace we are saved;)
And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.


This is possible because of what He did on the cross at Calvary two thousand years ago. He had offered to us the only facility or way to be reconciled and made peace with our Heavenly Father because of His unconditional love for the Kadazans. We have been
REDEEMED through the BLOOD SACRIFICE OF THE LAMB OF GOD, which is a once for all , and through the grace of God and our faith in Him and His finished Work, we are cleansed for the indwelling of His Word and Spirit. Without the indwelling of the Spirit of God, actively operating and ruling in one’s physical body and life, satanic and demonic spirits are the hidden masters and lords that work behind the scene in man’s affairs thus responsible not only for his ultimate doom but also the ungodly, arrogant, violent, quarrelsome, selfish, greedy and other works of the flesh which are acts done independent of God.. Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like.

Gen 3:21: Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed them

Heb:11:4: By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh.

Heb:13:15: By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name.

1Cor:10:20: But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils.
