In OUR image

Guess what?

You are a god!
Yeah I know you know that but do you understand the gravity of that statement?
You know how people believe in the powers of wood, clay and iron once they are carved into strange structures? Well, your clay structure has a lot of power too.

What's the difference between your structure and theirs?
 God poured Himself in YOU!

Everything God wanted and desired to do, man could do because God poured Himself through His breath in him. Note that God created you 'IN HIS IMAGE'. He created you to be able to do what He can do!

''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''

Gen 1:26

 

The first thing to note here is - ''Let us ...''. You are in the image of the Father, Son and Spirit. Hold up! This is a little technical so please pay close attention.

The Father:
God is known for His authority over ALL things. His word is powerful. Remember He holds His word in higher esteem than His name. In the same way, you have authority over ALL things. As you speak, remember your tongue has that kind of power! What you say should happen, can happen so be careful how you wield your power.

The Son:
Jesus is known for His miracle working power - You have that power too! You have that power too. You can heal in the name of Jesus, you can do wonders in the name of Jesus, you can change situations in the name of Jesus. We just don't exercise that power ourselves. We believe in the power in our pastors and deliverance ministers but we don't believe in the Jesus in us. Abi is it a different Jesus in you?

The Spirit:
The Holy Spirit is a comforter and He brings peace and rest and joy  to wherever He dwells. Wherever you are, you should be a peace maker and let people look forward to your presence. When you're not there, people should miss you because you bring a certain calm and there's just something about you not that they look forward to your absence for that peace to be restored. That's the Holy Spirit kind of impact.

Now you know, that's just a tip off the iceberg - a little taste of your reflection. You know where you can get the full picture? Well, every product has a manual with directions on how to use it to its maximum capacity. You have one too. It's the bible!

God loves fellowship and He created man to be part of the fellowship. He made man in His image to subdue the earth. To subdue something means to bring it under control! Therefore God created YOU to bring this earth under control.

He created man to MAKE AN IMPACT!

Man was designed to BRING IMPACT to the earth.

The existence of man from creation was to MAKE A LONG-LASTING IMPACT!

 

So  as I bring this post to a close, I want us to remember to regularly take a look in the mirror and say:
''Thank you Lord for making me so wonderfully complex. Your workmanship is marvellous - how well I know it.''
                                           Psalm 139:14

In another post, we'll talk about reasons why we are not making as much impact as we should and things to do in making impact.

Until then,

Shalom Saints.
