Have you ever bothered to know God\’s purpose for making man? Nothing just happen without a purpose for it. His divine purpose in making man was to have someone capable of handling all that He had created and someone who will sufficiently worship Him and satisfy his own heart desires.
God created man to manage the earth , to cultivate it. God did not allow certain things spring forth since there was no man to manage them.
After creating all other things then God said \”Let us make man _someone like ourselves to be the master of all the life upon the earth and in the skies and in the seas. So God make man….\”. And God Bless them and told them to \”Multiple and till the earth and Subdue it….\” (Genesis 1:26 & 28).
Do you know that God can withhold things because He need to place certain things in proper perspective before he can position you to occupy.
Genesis 2:1-7 &15
2:1 THUS THE heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.
2:2 And on the seventh day God ended His work which He had done; and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done.
2:3 And God blessed (spoke good of) the seventh day, set it apart as His own, and hallowed it, because on it God rested from all His work which He had created and done.
2:4 This is the history of the heavens and of the earth when they were created. In the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens–
2:5 When no plant of the field was yet in the earth and no herb of the field had yet sprung up, for the Lord God had not [yet] caused it to rain upon the earth and there was no man to till the ground,
2:6 But there went up a mist (fog, vapor) from the land and watered the whole surface of the ground–
2:7 Then the Lord God formed man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath or spirit of life, and man became a living being.
2:15 And the Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to tend and guard and keep it.
Before God made man, He had put all it takes for the earth to be made habitable, prepared every thing for man to cultivate, dress and subdued for his own benefits before God declared His word of multiplication and blessings to man so that man began to take charge of all that has been made available for him with the ability to manage and produce result.
In any case God\’s purpose in making man and gave him managerial accumn so that man will take authority over the whole universe and direct affairs Since then, God has always been interested in man, that was why He regularly visited man at the garden of Eden.
When Adam and Eve were in the garden of Eden, every evening God comes down to communicate with them in other to be sure of their safety and to cheer them up.
Psalm 8:4, the Psalmist says \”What is man that you are mindful of him or son of man that you care for him\”.
God knows the vulnerability of man yet He gave him all that He had created to manage. Yes because He desires worship and praises from man at all time.
7:17 What is man that You should magnify him and think him important? And that You should set Your mind upon him?
7:18 And that You should visit him every morning and try him every moment? (Job 7:17-18).
Job called God, \”O You Watcher and Keeper of men! Why have You set me as a mark for You, so that I am a burden to myself . Job 7:20.
God can decide to withhold a thing from us may be because time has not come for Him to release it and perhaps we are not ready to handle it with all sense of diligence.
In Genesee 2 where we read, it says there were no plant on the earth and no seeds had sprouted because He had not sent any rain and there was no one to cultivate the land, no one to occupy and manage it and give account of his stewardship to Him.
The rain signify abundance, God sent the rain to water the grand so that it will bring forth it\’s fruitfulness.
Psalm 104: 13-15 104:13 He waters the mountains from His upper rooms; the earth is satisfied and abounds with the fruit of His works.
104:14 He causes vegetation to grow for the cattle, and all that the earth produces for man to cultivate, that he may bring forth food out of the earth–
104:15 And wine that gladdens the heart of man, to make his face shine more than oil, and bread to support, refresh, and strengthen man\’s heart
When man derails and fall out of the grace he was given to Carter for for the environment, he begin to nose dive and God does not support indolence, He decided to drive man out of grace and out of a well planed out purpose.
Immediately man failed in his duty of management, he was sent out of his place of appointment. The bible says man was banished forever from the garden of Eden and sent out to farm on the ground from which he had been taken. Genesis 3:23.
God does not condone incompetency that was why in Jude 6 \”And the Angle who did not keep their proper domain but left their abode He has reserved in everlasting chains under darkness for the judgment of the great day.
God has position you in a place of authority. It is your duty to handle it well. Whatever you despise may not work out for you whatever you mismanage you loose, the anointing you you despise does not avail you.
You must be responsible in whatever you\’re called out to do and be accountable and stay in your place of commission.
Thanks for Reading. Happy Month End.
