WORDS OF WISDOM
There
is no absolute finish line for everyone in the race of life. Our tracks
are different, our lanes are different & our durations are
different. The only thing we have in common is the same umpire. For
instance one person graduates at age 20 & struggles for another five
years to get a job, another might graduate at age 25 & gets a job
immediately. One may graduate and make 10,000 € a month, another might
have dropped out out of school and slowly starts making 5,000 € a month.
One can marry a virgin & wait for the next decade to have the
blessings of children, another lady probably after having series of
abortions in her past, becomes a mum almost immediately after marriage. A
fellow becomes MD at 38 and dies at 56, another becomes MD at 55 and
lives to 90, what a life.
Life is full of twists, turns, test, ups & downs and many more surprises & disappointments .
Life offers each one of us different opportunities in different places
and at different times. Stop judging people and comparing yourself with
others. Value your uniqueness and trust in God. At the end of the day,
what matters most is where you stand with God.

THE LOVE OF GOD (1)
Then God said, let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness, let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth. So God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him, male and female He created them. Then God blessed them and God said to them, be fruitful and multiply, fill the earth and subdue it, have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air and over every living thing that moves on the earth - Genesis 1 : 26 - 28.
Right from the very beginning, God want man to take dominion over everything He has created that was why man was the last in all that He created. Every other things God created with spoken words, but when it get to the time to create man, He now said ''let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness''. Whom was God talking to when He said ''let Us make man''? He was referring to the trinity - God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. The three joined together to create man with their own hands. We are specially made, He loved us more than anything else that He created.No wonder the scripture says that, ''we are fearfully and wonderfully made - Psalm 139 : 14''.
And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life and man became a living being - Genesis 2 : 7.
After creation, God knows that mankind needed the breath of life, the power to take total dominion, the power to destroy the works of the enemy, the love of God, the wisdom of God, His grace, His light so that we cannot walk in darkness and the spirit of understanding. All these and many others He has breathed into us whether we like or not because He created us and we are not our own creature so He knew what we need. Before His breath, man was not a living being.
Out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field and evry bird of the air and brought them to Adam to see what he would call them. And whatever Adam called each living creature, that was its name. So Adam gave names to all cattle, to birds of the air and to every beast of the field. But for Adam there was not found a helper comparable to him - Genesis 2 : 19 - 20.
After creation, God brought every other things He created to Adam so that Adam can give names to them and the name Adam gave them remain constant without any alteration. What a great authority and love God have for mankind! Adam was not there when He created those things but because of His love and He wanted Adam to take total dominion that was why He gave him such power and that same power is still with us today through the blood of Jesus, it has been restored back to us.
And the Lord caused a deep sleep to fall on Adam and he slept and He took one of his ribs and closed up the flesh in its place. Then the rib which the Lord God had taken from man He made into a woman and He brought her to the man. And Adam said, this is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh. She shall be called woman because she was taken out of man - Genesis 2 : 21 - 23.
God knows what we need at any particular time. He knew Adam needs a helper just like him not a slave or the one that will be inferior to him. The scripture says ''helper comparable to him''. Both of them were to take total dominion over what God has created.
Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife and they shall become one flesh. And they were both naked, the man and his wife and were not ashamed - Genesis 2 : 24 - 25.
God instituted marriage from the beginning. The man have to leave his father and mother so also the woman so that they can become one flesh. In mathematics, one plus one is equal to two but according to the law of God one plus one is equal to one so that there cannot be a divided home. Also for them to have a godly offspring (Malachi 2 : 15).
Now the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said to the woman, has God indeed said you shall not eat of every tree on the garden? And the woman said to the serpent, we may eat the fruit of the trees of the garden, but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God has said, you shall not eat it, nor shall you touch it, lest you die. Then the serpent said to the woman, you will not surely die. For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened and you will be like God, knowing good and evil - Genesis 3 : 1 - 5.
Right from the beginning, the devil has been trying to destroy the works of God but I thank God no matter how hard he has tried, he has not been able to fulfill his purpose. The woman took her eyes away from God and she now focus on what she was seeing with the physical eyes and because Adam and Eve were made one, so Adam fell on the same trap of the satan. Anytime we take our eyes away from God, we are no more carrying that light which He has given to us.
Brethren, we should be very watchful because satan can operate through a very close person so we should not give him that chance as Eve gave him the chance to operate. When God give instructions, we should try to obey no matter how hard it might be and we should not try to do it with our own power instead we call upon Him to help us to be obedient to His word because the scripture says that ''He is our ever help in trouble'' (Psalm 46 : 1).
