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.
