Fill the Earth and govern it



Genesis 1:24

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth, the earth was formless and empty, and darkness covered the deep waters, and the spirit of God was hovering over the surface of the waters.
Then God said, “Let there be light, and there was light.

Anybody with a thought, an opinion and a dream that can’t be expressed in plain understand-able terms is as good as somebody with no vision at all.

 Every vision, dream, opinion, and thinking demands to have a voice in order for it to materialize in the most effective way possible.

The manifestation of any dream and the fulfillment of any vision begin, immediately at the point when the bearer thereof makes the bold step to confess and to speak forth his/her vision and dream even in the face of tremendous opposition.

On the 28th of August 1963, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. confessed his dream to thousands of listening men and women from different creeds and various walks of life.

And upon his confession the present sons and daughters of black America enjoy the fruits of liberty, equality, and freedom in the same lands that they were once enslaved.

In Genesis 1-3, God imagined and envisioned the heavens and the earth but the problem was of such that what he dreamt imagined and envisioned was formless and empty.

This may be because God’s dream of the universe was one of a kind, it was fundamentally unique and extraordinary.

Nothing like it had ever existed before henceforth the vision was void of a role model.

Someone from whom the vision of God was to be shaped and formed around, However allow me to tell you that the vision, the dream and the imagination of God in regards to the universe was formless and empty because it fundamentally lacked an expression and a voice.

We know this because the universe did not begin to come into shape till God spoke out of a spontaneous resolution-“Let there be light, and there was light”.

Genesis 4: argues, “And God saw the light was good, which means that from that very instance, God realized that the only thing that created a Gap between his fantasy and desired reality was a voice whose works bear both creative and formative capacity.

And that the more he spoke in relationship to how he wanted his dream to look like the more it took shape.

He continued to speak and everything took shape in the arena of the earth. He spoke everything into being upon the earth while the earth stayed on the same level.

It stayed on the same level because the earth was to form the basis upon which everything else strived, but simply because it formed the basis upon which everything else was to strive did not mean that it was never going to rise up to the next level and course.

When God was speaking everything into being it so appears that he was speaking in the Hebrew dialect, 

And according to the Hebrew dialect the word used for’ man’ is the same as the word used to describe the earth.

Therefore when God said in Genesis 1:24 that,’ Let the earth produce every sort of animal each producing offspring of the same kind, livestock, small animal that scurry along the ground and wild animals he was actually speaking to the man.

At this juncture there is a generation of men and women who have devoted themselves to responding to the voice of God every now and then it calls out unto them.

And I due course the desires, the dreams, the plans and the will of God have been manifested upon the earth on their account but for some uncanny reason or another their lives have remained on the same level.

Many people have used your knowledge, wisdom, and understanding to advance and make major progress in life but none of them came back to appreciate you and to reward you.

It seems as if everybody you helped go up has gone up and forgotten about the investment that you made in their lives.

However the Lord God will have me to tell you now that even though men benefitted greatly off your assignment in God.

It was not for them to reward you but it was for God to reward you. And now is that time for you to be lifted up above your contemporaries.

God has shifted roles from being served by you to him serving you so that at your next level in life you do nothing but to fill the earth and to govern it.
