In God’s Image and Likeness

 

Bible Nugget 0302 [Gen 1:26-28, KJV]

26And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

 27So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

 28And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

Everyone is an offspring of the first Adam, made in the Image and likeness of God. Man did not evolve from Apes or monkeys as some would have people believe. God created the lesser animals and then man to crown his creation. Every other living creature was created by God speaking them into existence, but man was created by a very thoughtful process. It takes great thought to create something original  and man was original because he is an image of the triune God, given a spirit and soul living in a body.

God is a Spirit, man has a spirit. The clearest scripture is as said by Jesus in John 4:24

 24God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

 

God has a Soul, man has a soul. The clearest scripture is in Gen 2:7 when God gave Adam life from himself (God performed the first Cardiac Pulmonary Resuscitation, CPR).

7And 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 soul.

 

God has a Body, man has a body. The physical presence of the member of the Godhead on earth in the person of Jesus Christ is the clearest scripture.  John 1:1-4.

Some bodily parts of God to name a few in scriptures are as follows:

Heart [Gen, 6:6; 8:21]

Gen 6:6 “And the Lord regretted that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved at heart.”

Nostrils and Mouth [Psalm 18:8, Num 12:8]
Psalm 18: 8There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.
Lips and Tongue [Isaiah 30:27]
 27Behold, the name of the LORD cometh from far, burning with his anger, and the burden thereof is heavy: his lips are full of indignation, and his tongue as a devouring fire:

So my friend, who told you, that you are an offspring of apes? You have been fearfully and wonderfully made. God set the process in motion when he made Adam and Eve. Begin to see yourself as special because God invested time in creating you. Psalm 139:13-15  reads

13For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother’s womb.

 14I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.

 15My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.

Today your responsibility is to make peace with your maker since Adam dragged everyone into sin and death by falling into sin in the Garden of Eden. God will come into your life and dwell in your heart and you become the temple of God carrying the image and likeness of God just like Adam with all his glory before sin. Ask God for forgiveness of your sins and invite Jesus into your heart. Thereafter, you need to keep yourself holy to retain the image and likeness of God. 1 Corinthians 3:16-17

16Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?

 17If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.

THANKSGIVING TO A CARING GOD

 

Wisdom Fountain 0114 [Psalm 103 v 1-5, NKJV]

 1Bless the LORD, O my soul; And all that is within me, bless His holy name!
 2 Bless the LORD, O my soul, And forget not all His benefits:
 3 Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases,
 4 Who redeems your life from destruction, Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies,
 5 Who satisfies your mouth with good things, So that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s,

The goodness of God is all en-compassing touching every area of our lives. The bible instructs us to remind ourselves of all the blessings we receive from God, because the memory of man tends to be short. One needs to search into the inner man and call to remembrance every good thing we received from the Lord and as the hymn writer says “it will surprise you what the Lord has done”. Cultivate a heart of gratitude and God will do more. Let us bless God from our soul with the following prayer.

 

Prayer of Faith 0114

Magnify the LORD, O my soul and exalt His Holy Name for the great blessings he has done for me since my youth. For saving my soul by revealing to me the knowledge of your only begotten Son. For overcoming trials and temptations and being there for me in times of trouble. For preserving my life and restoring my health. For making me whole,  body, soul and Spirit. Bless the LORD O my Soul.

LORD LET MY PLANS RECEIVE YOUR DIVINE APPROVAL

Wisdom Fountain 0113 [Prov. 16: 1-3, Amplified]

1THE PLANS of the mind and orderly thinking belong to man, but from the Lord comes the [wise] answer of the tongue.

2All the ways of a man are pure in his own eyes, but the Lord weighs the spirits (the thoughts and intents of the heart).

 3Roll your works upon the Lord [commit and trust them wholly to Him; He will cause your thoughts to become agreeable to His will, and] so shall your plans be established and succeed.

Planning is key to success in any venture. Without a plan, a good purpose turns to disappointment. Planning often involves goals and objectives, consultation or counseling with experts, research, etc. Whatever the source, all these originate from the mind. The mind is like a mine which if properly cultivated will be a source to dig out all precious things. In this context, the writer of proverbs instructs us to commit our plans to the Lord to have success in our endeavours.  Let’s do this with prayers.

 

Prayer of Faith 0113

Lord, let my mind be a mine full of your word in Jesus Name. Let my thoughts be a stream having its source from your word and let my tongue be an outlet sanctified by your Spirit to issue out pure and holy words in Jesus Name. Cause my ways to be aligned with Jesus who is the way the truth and the life in Jesus Name. I commit all the works of my hands in to your able hands; let me be in your perfect will for my life in Jesus Name. Thank you Lord for establishing and granting me good success as I remain in you in Jesus Name. Amen.

GRACIOUS ORNAMENT

Wisdom Fountain 0112 [Proverbs 1 v 7-9, KJV]

7The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.

 8My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother:

 9For they shall be an ornament of grace unto thy head, and chains about thy neck.

An ornament enhances beauty. God wants to beautify our lives with his salvation. The beginning of this beauty is to fear the Lord. Not the fear of the world, but Godly fear, meaning reverence of the Almighty in every area of our lives. It means to hate sin and any appearance of evil. Noah was one of such. He saw the evil that had taken hold of the world in his time, moved with Godly fear, prepared an ark and was saved from the destruction and wrath God poured on the earth for the sinfulness of men and women that caused God to regret that he created man. [Gen 6:1-8]. To experience godly fear require diligent assimilation and obedience of the Word of God. Say the following prayer of commitment to the God as follows:

 

Prayer of Faith 0112

Oh Lord thank you for the Holy Spirit that dwells in my heart. Grant me divine knowledge so that I may fearfully reverence you all the days of my life. Instruct me with the wisdom that will cause me to excel spiritually, in my marital life, socially and in the works of my hands.  Let your Holy Spirit remind me of your word and precept in meditation, thought and obedience in Jesus Name. Place your ornament of grace over my neck and shoulder, and let your grace abound in my life as I heed your word and precept in Jesus Name. I shall be abundantly satisfied with your goodness in Jesus Name. Amen.

THE TREE OF MY LIFE SHALL NOT WITHER

 

Wisdom  Fountain 0104 [Psalm 1:1 – 6, KJV]

1Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

 2But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

 3And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

 4The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.

 5Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

 6For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.

This chapter of the Holy Bible begins the Psalms and defines the man who wants to walk with the Lord, stand where the Lord stands and seat where the Lord sits. As you put the words of this chapter into your memory, read and pray other chapters in the Psalm for yourself, talk to God with this prayer.

 

Prayer Points 0104

1.     Lord I draw inner strength from you in Jesus name. I delight in you all the days of my life in Jesus name. 

2.    My tree has deep roots and will continually draw from the wells of salvation in Jesus name. Lord have mercy and save such as you have appointed to be saved in Jesus name.

3.  I shall be distinguished by my walk with you from those that do not know you and those who have made up their minds to reject you in Jesus name. They shall bow down at my gate in Jesus name. Amen.

 UNMERITED FAVOUR IN 2009 BECAUSE OF JESUS

 

Bible Nugget  0101  [Titus 2:11-14 KJV]

 

 11 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, 12 Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; 13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; 14 Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.

Happy new year to everyone in Jesus name. What are your expectations this new year. Personally, I look forward to a great year and I know it will be wonderful because of Jesus. He makes all the difference. He has not changed. If He did it last year and previous years for me, I know He will do it again. The Bible says He is the same yesterday and today and forever [Heb. 13:8]. Put your trust in Him and let us put Him to the test. He never, never fails. His grace will see you through, no matter how difficult the problem may be or insurmountable the mountain before you may look. His grace is always sufficient because grace is unmerited favour from God and His grace brings you in contact with Jesus, God’s only begotten Son. In this new year the grace of God will locate you in Jesus name.

Lets start the year right with God. For the unsaved, ask Jesus to come into your heart by faith.

For the saved, thank God for your salvation with this prayer.

 

Prayer Points 0101

1. Oh Lord I thank you that sin no more abound in my life. Let your Grace continually  abound in my life.

2. I purge my heart from all dead works and reconcile with you whole-heartedly in Jesus name. I look forward to your second coming. Let me be continually prepared wearing your garments of holiness in Jesus Name. Amen.
