Man was made the creator
26 – “And 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.
27 – So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
28 – And 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.” (Genesis chapter 1 verses 26 to 28)
5 – “And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground.
6 – But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.
7 – And 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.” (Genesis chapter 2 verses 5 to 7)
God was the originator of the principle of division of labour. When God stepped out for creation, He had it in mind that He was not going to create everything. But He needed to lay down the foundation on which mankind can run through. Everything that was created is for man and his exercising leadership for the continuation of creation. The earth was a kingdom made for man to be in charge.
If truly the earth was made for a kingdom for man to have a taste of leadership and thereby precede over the affairs of life on the earth, that made man a creator. We cannot deny the fact that man was created in the image after God’s likeness. If man was truly created in God’s image after God’s likeness, that means everything about the existence of man was for him to act and function like God here on earth.
The same skill, knowledge and ability to create was bestowed upon man to be able to take charge of the creating processes. In the kingdom principles, God cannot create man in His image after His likeness, and still finds it difficult to hand over the opportunity and priviledge to continue creation. The fullness of God Almighty was with man when God chose to create him.
In Genesis chapter one, God created the spirit man and God blessed him with everything that made God the God Almighty. I can vividly tell you that in blessing man God did not withdraw anything. He poured it all up on man. It was on such ground that man procured what it takes to stand in God’s place here on earth to function and discharge responsibility. The blessing of God upon a man was an enabler for him to stand in God’s place and create effectively.
In Genesis chapter two, was where the physical man was brought into scene as the house in which the spirit man can function diligently here on earth. Every thing ever created has their place of functionality which makes one another unique, relevant and effective. Each of the part of man is so vital in the attributes to exercising dominion in his kingdom.
In the book of Genesis chapter one, we found out that it begins with a pronouncement which attests to one of the major attributes of God Almighty. God creative ability was revealed. God is the creator of the whole universe, both the visible and the invisible. It is a profound truth that God created the heaven and the earth. It is also profound to know that God went ahead to create man in His image after His likeness. That should signal something in you.
The ability to create was bestowed in man and that is why it is in man’s nature to create. It is obvious that God did not create everything, He set the foundation at which man can continue creation. The furnitures and houses made of wood were all created by man from the tree God provided during creation. The glass to drink water were made from the sand that God provided during creation. The great monuments and buildings all over the places were all made by man from the raw materials God Almighty had provided. That made man the creator man.
Conclusion:
22 – “And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.
23 – For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.” (Mark chapter 11 verses 22 to 23)
Though man was created with the ability to create, but not everyone live to manifest this ability to create. You must have the knowledge of the creative process and go into action with the ability to create. If everyone was as you are, what did you think the world would have been like? Exercise your creating ability and make our world a better place.
