IN THE BEGINNING


August 8.        IN THE BEGINNING


In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Genesis 1:1

   When God created the heaven and the earth out of nothing, He had a Master Plan. His plan was customized for the man he was yet to create. He spent six days creating everything that the man needed before he poured out himself into him. God poured out His holiness, his intellect, his personality and all that He is into the man He created. Adam and Eve in their purest state had unlimited access to God, 24/7. God was a regular visitor to the garden of Eden, He loved the people he had created. He provided all that they needed to be comfortable in the garden of Eden. Like our earthly fathers they had rules and regulations that were to be obeyed. Alas in disobedience they succumbed to the tempter and everything changed. 

    Our relationship with God today is not different from what happened in the garden of Eden. We live in utter disobedience to all the Ten Commandments, all God’s laws because we ‘know more’ than The one who created us. 

      Today, look at the Ten Commandments and I wonder if we can keep them all. We are grateful to our Lord Jesus Christ who restored our relationship with God and gave us access to Him as it was in the beginning. 

     Have we accepted the sacrifices of our Lord Jesus Christ or are we still stagnated with Adam and Eve in the garden of disobedience? Can we search our souls and find out exactly where we are? Are we in the beginning of our journey of obedience to God’s commandments? 

     Where do we begin to tell the story of how great our God's love can be?

       Most of us may readily remember this as a line in the  movie LOVE STORY. This was the movie made in 1970, It asks a vital question, how long does it last, can love be measured by the hour of the day? 

     Can we measure the love that our creator has for us? Where do we begin to measure, or to understand the depth of God’s love for us? It is completely immeasurable by time, by the depth, by the weight, by the size, nothing is comparable with God’s love, absolutely nothing. 

        Our destiny is determined by decisions we make at the very beginning of our lives. The beginning of a journey sets the tone for what we set to accomplish at the end of the journey. 

     Let us go back to our beginning and make amendments as we embrace the new life that our Lord Jesus Christ has given us by opening the doorway to our Father in heaven.


Let Us Pray: 

Our Father, we are grateful for all that you poured into us in the beginning. Lord let us remember your works and your blessings from the very beginning. Your love is overwhelming and may we never forget your blessings in Jesus’s name we pray. Amen

YOU ARE A CHILD OF PROMISE

   MAY 1.       Acts: 1: 4-5   The days are going so quickly, I remember that Christmas was celebrated not too long ago and here we are celebrating Good Friday and Easter, the most important days in the Church calendar.   The celebration of our Lord Jesus Christ in this season is purposeful and it is from everlasting to everlasting. Some questions come to my mind, what if our Lord Jesus gave up on his disciples who had betrayed and denied him? What if our Lord Jesus Christ rose from the dead and decided to take a holiday from the stressful life he had been through? What if he did not leave us the Holy Spirit, our Comforter? The questions are endless and we sure do not have any answers to all of them and many more. We are the reason why our Lord Jesus Christ did not stop to take a rest and did not deny us, forgiving the thief on the cross.   Today we begin to see the enormity of the work our Lord Jesus Christ did for us, from the cross to...

WHO IS GOD TO YOU

  MAY 2.     Deuteronomy 6:4 Our God is an Amazing, Awesome God, The Creator of Heaven and the Earth, There is no one like Him, none to compare with Him, yes He is a perfect God. He is greater than all that he created, unlimited in nature, infinite and he is the God in three persons.   As you are dressed up to go out of your home, you are attired in all that God created including you yourself. Your clothes are made from cotton, silk, your shoes are made from animal skin, your perfume comes from natural oils, your jewellery comes from metals that are found in layers of soil. As you stand, there is nothing on you that was originally made by you.   All of these products were created by God before He created man and gave man dominion over all that He created. - 1 Corinthians 8:6.   Psalm 14 vs 1 AMP says, “The (spiritually) ignorant says in his heart that There is no God!!”   What do we say to that? Question who is God to you? He is the crea...

HOPE IN THE WORLD

Image
  MAY 3.      Romans:5: 4-5   Hope is not wishful thinking; hope is like making a long wish-list and waiting in great anticipation for each of the things you wished for to come through. You will find yourself marking off all the ones that God has answered.   On who are you hinging your hope on? My hope is built on nothing less than Jesus Christ and righteousness; this is the line of a very popular hymn that we all know. Is it true for you, can you let go and know that He who you hope on will not disappoint you. The faith that our hope has in God is the hope that does not disappoint, it transforms our suffering into endurance and our expectations into joy. This is the hope that all faithful believers enjoy, they have peace with God and they feel very secured. This brings the Christ-like character and the absolute abundant grace in our daily living.   Let Us Pray: Heavenly Father we ask to be filled with joy and peace as we are hopeful of yo...
