The Beginning of Everything | Genesis 1–5 | Day 1 of 238
We begin from the inception of time & creature (the beginning of everything). God (the Father) says, “Let there be light”, and the same verse makes us understand that light became (Genesis 1:3). Isn’t it amazing how God didn’t use some hammer or spanner to knock the world into place? He also didn’t say let’s go into the heavenly laboratory to mix some chemical compounds to produce light. Nah nah, not at all. On the contrary, He ‘said’. You get it? He spoke. The source code of the universe came from God’s ‘Spoken Word’ (otherwise known as ‘Rhema’ in Greek).
This should tell you something. Because Genesis 1:26 tells us, God made us in His image and likeness — after His features and liking. If God spoke to create, we ought to speak to create. We are after His features and liking. Your creative imaginations will not become from the laboratory of everyday life, no, your creative imaginations will become from your spoken word.
LESSON
Start speaking your great ideas into existence.
Genesis 3:22–24 KJV
And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever: [23] Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken. [24] So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.
But thank God, after the transpired Fall of Man, He drove Adam & Eve out of Eden.
You see, the truth is…God loved Man dearly, so dearly, He had to lock Man out of Eden to stop him from eating of the tree of Life and becoming eternal. But guess what, Adam & Eve didn’t know this…they were consumed in fear and sin. Adam & Eve actually thought God drove them out of the garden because He hated them along with their guts. That’s why from Adam’s generations to generations further, Man had either thought God hated him or cared less about him. But all the while, God loved Man dearly. He even sent His Son to begin the redemption of Man from sinful nature to confirm He’s love for Man.
What a truly poetic story — the poetic relationship between God & Man.
