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 😌

Act of Obedience

"I look unto the hill from whence cometh my help... My help cometh from the Lord" Today, I'm in a sticky situation. Found myself having a writer's block, hmmm... But I have to write not just because I know there are people looking forward to this, but because this blog is an act of obedience... It is his daily dose of love to you and I. I'm grateful to Father... Whenever you think you've grown distant, he's always like, " My child... Where are you going? Come back home..." When it seems like all hope is lost, he steps into the story... That's my Father, that's Jahdosh (Yah). I will save you.... Save you from every destruction. I am here for you , Father says , I am your help in times of need and even when you think you don't need me. You might think you're lost in that path, but I am right beside you. This is a word for someone, you might think that God doesn't love you, that he's left you behind. He's th

Christianity - Overated?

It's Sunday again... A day where a lot of us spend time in his presence, go to church, listen to the Pastor preach, and in all certainty vibe in the Sunday ministrations. That's how we are as Christians. It's the supposed norm that we've been taught even before we could walk. It's how the "Christian" lifestyle is said to be. Yet, when we walk out the Church and go to our various homes, we live totally different lives... It's like we're another person and living a double life. Living a life that doesn't please God. And no it's not just about dressing or talks, it's about those secrets in out closets. The hidden diaries in our hearts. What does it mean to be a Christian? What does the Christian lifestyle entail? Isn't it about being Christ-like? Well... I think we seem to forget that a lot. Being a Christian doesn't mean we should live a life for show, it's not a reality show. We're not on TV. Being a Christi

Life... Be grateful!

Life... Only but a fleeting moment. Today, an incident that struck a lot of people took place today. The news of a coursemate being dead was one none of us had expected, most especially not in our final year. We never thought of wearing black and walking around the school, never thought we would mourn a soul so soon... But it happened. This led me to one thought, to one question... How can something that we hold so dear, be so easy to loose? A lot of times we are not worthy of where we are, but God looks at us and gives us life. He gives us the opportunity to live again. It's not because we're too beautiful or so smart, but just because he loves us. It's a privilege to wake up and see another day. Learn be grateful to God for what you have and for where you are... He kept you through it all. From dust we came, to dust we return... Live a life that pleases the Father. He has kept you through it all not because you were worthy of it, but because he loves you.
