In the beginning was the Word and, in the beginning, GOD created…

“You are gods, sons of the Most High, all of you. He called them gods to whom the word of GOD came—and Scripture cannot be broken— nevertheless, like men you shall die, and fall like any prince.” Ps 82:6, Jn 10:34-35 & Ps 82:5

For those of you who have been following me since the beginning of the year, you know that these verses have made quite an impression on me. I’m just amazed by all the things that the LORD is making me to understand at the back of these. For instance, today, I’ve just received something, which is a very good illustration of what Jesus said:  He called them gods to whom the word of GOD came.

Imagine someone who has never cooked. If this person listens to the instructions (the word) of a chef and follows them meticulously, he or she can cook the most wonderful dishes –as if they were chef themselves. He called you chef because the word of a chef came to you… Likewise, someone who has never driven can drive a car –be a driver– by following the instructions of his or driving instructor to the letter. And also, under exceptional circumstances, someone who is not a surgeon, can remove a hernia if they are guided step by step via a videoconference. 

In all those examples, the student becomes the teacher/master provided they listen and follow every instruction to the letter. In all those examples, the student respects the master as the one having authority on the subject. Similarly, when we listen to/read the Word of GOD and apply it faithfully, we also become gods. But we must first trust the LORD and recognise Him as the Authority in everything. 

Last week, I was reading those verses again before a prayer meeting and I thought: “Well, it’s good to know that we are gods; but what do gods do?” And the LORD took me to Genesis Chapter 1. Gods create. They call into existence the things that do not exist (yet). The god that you are must call your 2015 to existence. For now, 2015 is still void and without form and you need to give it shape and populate it. Indeed, “By faith we understand that the universe was created by the word of GOD, so that what is seen was not made out of things that are visible” Heb. 11:3. It’s in the invisible realm that you will first possess whatever you wish to see in 2015. 

GOD had a clear vision of what He wanted to see before creating the heavens and the earth. Do you have a clear vision of what you (no longer) want to see in 2015? If this is not the case, then ask: “Let there be light!” 

• He created the heavens and earth: Think of your spiritual and your earthly life.
• He separated light and darkness: Separate what you want to see from what you no longer wish to see in 2015.
• He created different things on different days. All your goals cannot be achieved in January or February. Organise them by order of importance or emergency – what is important is not necessarily urgent. If you are not strategic, you will not succeed. 
• GOD created things, which had a potential for multiplication. Do the same, so that your growth can be exponential every year. 

Next week, by GOD’s grace, I’ll end this series by showing you the kind of prayers that can activate all these things.

Have a great week in His Presence.
