WORSHIP THE CREATOR NOT THE CREATION

                                    

 The Bible records in the books of Genesis the account of the creation. In the very first verse of the first chapter, it says "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth". This is an automatic revelation that God is the Creator of all creations. We can simply say he is the brain behind every creation and invention in the entire universe. This is also supported by the Book of John chapter 1 which revealed God created everything in the world by His word and this same word was God Himself. What a marvel! Also, the book reveals that it was this same word that gave life to everything that was created, and this life was the light of men which means before His predominance there was darkness all over. 

One thing that baffles me is that God made man the head of His creation, why do men after knowing this truth decide to worship the creations more than the Creator? The truth is most of us prioritize other creations or inventions more than the Creator no wonder we see some people worshipping rivers, trees, flowers, and so on. When we talk about worshipping the creation, it comes in different forms such as idolatry, not retaining the knowledge of God in one's mind. Idolatry does not only mean setting up an image and bowing to it but prioritizing some other things in our lives than our relationship with Abba.

 On a serious note, a large percentage of us are guilty of this, we are already carried away by the cares of the world and as a result, we can't catch up or level up with the Creator due to our inconsistency. The Ancient of days is known for not coercing humans to His will, and as such this will lead to alienation from the Father, which makes man lust after the desires of his heart which is all vanity hereby spelling doom for man ( Romans chapter 1: 25-end).

This is an awakening call to us today, myself included to start pondering on every area of our lives where we have prioritized the creations much more than the Creator, is it in our career lives, businesses, academics, relationship with fellow humans and most importantly spiritually and pray to God to help us make amendments and the grace to stay true to the Creator till the end of days. I pray as we make this decision, the Lord will guide our steps to the right path. Amen.




PRAYER POINT: Father, I come against every attitude of worshipping the creation more than the Creator in every area of my life. AMEN

FUEL IT UP!!!

 When I was in primary school I was part of the girls guide. we usually go for weekend camping in any agreed location and I remember that whenever we were at camp, we always have the camp fire at night and everyone will be dancing around it. Whenever the fire goes down, we will put leaves and some other petrochemical substances to enable it burn well. Going through the books of Mathew 25, the story of the 10 virgins ignited a spark in me and I realized instantly that to keep anything burning, we need substances to fuel it up just as we did at the camp whenever the camp fire goes down. Also, most of us have generators in our various homes and I can imagine how much we would feel helpless when we cannot get fuel to power our generators especially when we have a very interesting show coming up or a football match and the electricity distribution company decided to keep the light off. Brethren, reading through Mathew 25: 1-13, we would have a better understanding of what it means to fu...

God's Laws Versus God's Promise

A father who lives in the diaspora once had a son and for some reasons his son cannot come along with him. Nevertheless, he kept on investing and was lucrative in his business. This man got a guardian to keep his son in track while he was away and he wrote his will so that when he is away permanently his possession could be given to his child by the guardian on reaching a specified age written in his will. He did this so that the child could be rightly led and could have come of age not to mismanage the properties. Going through the books of Galatians, I had a deeper understanding of God's laws and God's promises. Firstly, we have sins, laws and promises. Literally, Sin is anything detestable to God, God's laws are the guidance from God given alongside the promise to reveal to people their sins (Gal 3:19). God's law was given until the fulfilment of the promise. God's promise is simply grace in the human form of Christ Jesus. Going back to my introductory story, the...

UNDER THE SUN!

  A whole lot goes down under the sun,when I say under the sun i am referring to the whole earth as a whole. Imagine a  child is born into the world, coming out of the mother's womb empty and naked, after the child's birth he is weaned and goes through several stages before he finally starts his education, from primary to secondary and to higher institution he could even go to the length of taking professional exams and pursuing his career to the peak. After this his parents tells him to bring home a wife, he gets married start having kids and making his kids follow the same process as he has been brought up,when he grows old he dies and maybe wills his property to his children and he without no doubt knows what happens again after his demise as he will be buried empty not even with the certificates and qualifications he has attained. What a life!       This above example is typical of a successful human, several generation comes and goes. we all have fore fath...
