Ways to follow
God made Adam a living soul because He knew it would be subject to corruption due to sin. If He had made him a life-giving Spirit (which He has for everyone who accepts Jesus as Lord and personal Saviour – see 1 Corinthians 15:45), Adam and Eve’s fall would have been eternally incorrigible. And that would have been very, very dangerous. Imagine not being able to correct a mistake you made for life. How bad will it be?
If a relationship is built on shared faith, humility before God, and a desire to follow Christ faithfully, it will stand on a foundation that is far stronger than any temporary attraction.
God wants us to stir up one another to love and good works. So, there is a stirring to make among ourselves as believers. That work is not dependent on only you but also on others. You have a part to play, and I also have.
God rested from all His work, which he had done on the seventh day. You may say, but God has no limit to His strength. Yes, that’s true. So, the reason why He rested on the seventh day was not because of tiredness. Instead, it was to reflect on the labour He put into rebuilding the world after it was first destroyed with water. That revelation carries the principle of rest and leave from work, be it in ministry or corporate environment.
God has loaded you with more seeds than you can ever imagine. The ideas are seeds, and the creative thinking is also a seed. Whatever skill you have, even if it’s poor in first-hand use, is a seed inside you. And to be fruitful with it, you must place all of them to work, usually harnessing one or two to the best at a time in season.
God is saying that you must make it your ambition to lead a quiet life. That means self-leadership is a necessity in Christ. Many people, when discussing leadership, often refer to leading others rather than themselves. But you cannot effectively lead others if you don’t learn how to lead yourself well.
You must not forget that your real value is known best by God. No amount of salary a company gives you will be worth that value. So, work with all your heart because that work will make you better at what you do, which you can use as an experience to upgrade your career.
The reason why God created man was for him to have dominion over all the earth. Take it, and you’ll benefit from it; play with it, and others will succeed and even rule over your life as they create products and services you cannot live without.
Some people, including believers, have had their lives severely spoilt (damaged) due to misconstrued relational problems that are solvable. Check out what the Bible say in Colossians 2:8 in response to these things.
God first created the Earth in Genesis 1:1, which nobody had details of how it was until it became void and formless. So, the actual creation story from Genesis 1:6-25 talks about how God fixed the formlessness and voidness situation of the first Earth that was destroyed. Now, let’s have a look at how God made the first world.
It takes a lot of work to keep your spiritual fervour (fire) as a minister so you can serve the Lord. Once you neglect this work and prioritise ministry over it, then the stress and burnout begin to happen. To invest in taking care of your spiritual health, I recommend a few things from scripture to you, which, when you implement them, will help you immensely. Take a read.
What comes to mind when you hear the instruction “Let there be light” as you read Genesis 1:3-5? Maybe, to you, it’s about God distinguishing light from darkness. But I think it is more than a mere creation story that several people skim. That is why I am glad to write this article. I hope you enjoy it.
