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...

The Price of Destiny

                              In General terms, the price attached to a product or service is the value of such product or service. This explains why priority is placed on some products or services than the other. The fluctuation in exchange rate of different countries to another gives a deeper understanding of the value attached to different country's currencies. The economists say the price of a commodity confers value on such commodity. A person with a thousand dollar undoubtedly has more purchasing power than another with a thousand naira.  Speaking of what the price of destiny means, we can say it is the value of destiny, the sacrifice needed to pay before attaining a glorious destiny.When I mean sacrifice this is not some sort of ritual but what we have to let go or put in place to attain our glorious destinies because as children of God, we all are entitled to glorious destinies as this is His will fo...
