Man's Choice and how it affects him.

08/01/23

Earlier today , I read the book of Genesis and it was really an interesting aspect of creation.

In the book of Genesis, we get to see how the world really began and what brought about man's creation on earth.

It's a thrilling experience...

Knowing that we were made in God's image and likeness and also given the freewill to choose how we want to live our life on earth.

Let's go back to the very beginning though. 

Something about the creation of man struck me;

1. Man was given authority over all of creation.
God left all that had to do with earth in the hands of man. From the naming of animals, to the caretaking of the earth. He was given the total authority and then to report each of his doings to God.
That was part of the reason why God always visited the garden.
To get feedback and constantly check on how many was doing.

We have dominion here on earth and we are everyday to 'report' tell God how we dominated in each day.


2. Man was told to do all things but one.
Man had the ability to do and take all things in the garden of Eden. 
Man's choices affected his dominion on earth.
God gave him dominion over everything but one.
The tree of the fruit of knowledge of good and evil was one that God had strictly put off limits for man, but disobedience set in and it pushed man to his downfall.

One thing I noticed was that aside from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, there was also the tree of life in that same garden and man was absolutely free to eat of it but he did not.


In a situation where there is a command from God to adhere a thing, there will also be blessings attached.
Obedience and patience towards what God has set for us brings about these blessings.

Working in obedience brings blessings. The reverse is the case in situations where man does not obey the things of God.

Know this, and know peace.

God loves you 😌

For the moments when you feel stuck!

  I started this year with a lot of enthusiasm... I remained expectant for the best. I had plans that I wanted to accomplish, and I wasn't going to miss it. As time went on, things started going off track, and I wasn't having it. I tried all that I could to keep everything in order, but the more I tried, the more I fell apart. I was losing myself and my focus.  I was always feeling guilty about things that I did and didn't do. At the end, I broke down. I thought that I just needed to be strong, but I realised that I needed a mind shift, and this shift occurred in the most unique way ever. I had to learn by letting go. Strength wasn't the only thing that mattered to me at this moment, and I realise that now. This write-up isn't to confuse or give you a reason to pity me but to remind you that in moments where you think that all you'll need is your strength and willpower, Abba is calling you to depend on him more. While I had my plans, and of course planning is go...

Comfort My People, Cry Out To My Flock

 I was having my bible study today, and I came across this Chapter in the book of Isaiah... Tap on the image to listen to my current music playlist while reading What do you want to say? What do they want to hear? There is so much to tell the people of God, so much to tell His children, His flock but only one thing resides in my mind as I write these notes out... I know the thoughts I think towards you, thoughts of good and not of evil to give you and expected end... (Isaiah 55:8) I came across this passage of the bible when I was studying today.  I had questions and needs that I really wanted God to answer and while looking to get the answers to these questions, I found the Lord giving me responsibility and answers for His flock, His children as well. “Comfort, comfort my people,”      says your God. 2  “Speak tenderly to Jerusalem. Tell her that her sad days are gone      and her sins are pardoned. Yes, the  Lord  has pu...

Starting All Over Again

7:44pm  Saturday, 16th, November 2024. It's been a long while since I've been up in this space. I just read a post from a few months back and it made me realize that I really miss writing. It's been like what? A few months? A year maybe without consistently writing on the blog. In these few months that have passed though, I have grown, and I am learning constantly to be patient with myself. I've had time to read, develop, and basically build on myself. One thing is certain though, I still have a lot to learn, and this is only the beginning of my life's journey...  Okay, okay... I think I've somewhat started it or maybe gone through a mock phase of life's journey. Hmmm...  I've experienced growth, and I can see what the Lord is doing in my life. I see how intentional God is about each and every one of his children.  Just a head's up to all old and new readers, there's a lot of God in my writeups and I'm unapologetic about it. I love the Lord s...
