We are complete in God
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)
God brought everything into place and His power of deployed words
God is the creator of the universe. It is interesting for one to begin to ask with which ability does God create everything. What an extreme great project that God made possible by His power. Bringing things into place as though those things were physically in existence. Nothing was in physical existence at the moment God began creation. God brought everything into place and His power of deployed words.
I can’t figure it out that God called forth light out of darkness but it still dawned on me He is the all knowing God. There is nothing that was brought forth that was not in the existence. Think about when God said to the water to gather one place for the manifestation of the dry land. Everything was in existence in God’s mind.
The dry land was in existence but it cannot prove its relevance because the water body encroached it
“And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.” (Genesis chapter 1 verses 9)
It dawned on me that dry land was in existence but the flooded water proved its relevant by surmounting the dry land and made it as though it is never in existence. The water body encroached the dry land, and hid the dry land for centuries as the case might be. The dry land was in existence but it cannot prove its relevance because the water body encroached it.
It is obvious that the dry was completed in the water body but the water body limited its capacity and relevance to yield
It was obvious that the encroachment of the water body over the land had actually kept the dry land in the state of dormance and unfruitfulness. The dry land was unproductive at the moment it was encroached by water. The dry land never knew how much virtues it can yield for the reason of excessive water covering. Even when the land tries to release some virtues of its capacity, that cannot be possible because of excessive water coverage.
11 – “And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.
12 – And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.” (Genesis chapter 1 verses 11 to 12)
The dry land became effective and completely relevant at the disposal of water. The land that was covered with water has the capacity to bring forth grass, herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after its kind. More began to unfold about the land when it was separated from the sea. It is obvious that the dry was completed in the water body but the water body limited its capacity and relevance to yield.
The virtues of the land will be limited by the water body
No matter how long the land stays under the water, most of its values would have been overshadowed by the water body. Even when the land was able to yield some plantations, it would have been clear. The virtues of the land will be limited by the water body. This is how non-living things can limit one another. God been the all knowing God knew there is need to make separation between the water body and the land.
20 – “And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.
21 – And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.” (Genesis chapter 1 verses 20 to 21)
The cordial relationship between God and man was enough to keep man flourishing
Both the land and the water body were all relevant at the separation of one another. Everything was not fully independent of each other.
Here is the point I am trying to make, this separation of a thing was never necessary in the aspect of God and man. Man needed the fulness of God for him to be fruitful and relevant in the aspect of exercising dominion and authority. We are complete in God and with that we can exercise full dominion on the earth over everything created. The cordial relationship between God and man was enough to keep man flourishing.
Man was complete in God and that was why man could exercise dominion on earth
It is this union between God and man that caused man to be back up with the fulness of heaven. Man does not have to prove his true relevance out of God. Man can only do little or nothing on his own. The virtue of man’s relevance flows from God. Man can only function at his best when there is a cordial connection in his relationship with God. At the point man maintain a genuine relationship with God, everything is possible.
There is no limit to what man can do as long as he maintains his relationship with God. There is no impossibility in the dairy of man when he has fulness of God by his side. Man was complete in God and that was why man could exercise dominion on earth. It was the fulness of God in a man that kept him in charge. Not until he succumbed to the deception of the devil which brought a terrible breakage between God and man. That limits how far man can do.
Conclusion:
When Jesus came into the scene to redeem mankind, He paid the ultimate price to restore us to our original connection and relationship with the Father where we can exercise and display authority in the affairs of life and the earth as a whole.
“The earth is the LORD’S, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.” (Psalms chapter 24 verses 1)
