Image of God in us.

Genesis 1:26-28 NKJV

Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”

Shalom! Day #45. Do you know that God gave us authority to have dominion over the fish, the birds, the cattle and over all the earth and over every creeping thing? Let's pray. Father, we want to thank You for this wonderful day. As we study Your word, help us to practice what we read today. In Jesus name we ask and pray.

Man was made from dust. Shaped into God's image. Aligned to His purposes and will. Each and everyone of us carries the Image of God with us. Adam was the exact picture of how God looked like. But was not perfect. Now, Eve was created from Adam. The reason the fall, because of Imperfections. As I mentioned earlier, Adam wasn't perfect. God created women, Eve, from Adam's imperfections. Man, has his weaknesses, his flaws. But he did not realized it until he fell. So Eve carried the image of God from the man. The reason why sin came into the world is not because of woman only, it was because of Adam as well. Why? Because woman was created from man. Which means the weaknesses of man, the desires, the flaws, everything that's in him, was in Eve. I'm not going to share about this now. But what I want to share is the IMAGE OF GOD IN US. Are we reflecting His image daily in our walk with God? Are we representing God? God created us not to have a defeated life, but a life full of and filled with power and authority. Blessings and love. Grace and mercy. Favor and abundance of life. God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” Is the likeness of God is in us? His character, His heartbeat, His attitude. Christ like personality - humble, obedience, faithful, loyal, full of life and love, a great Leader, patience. Jesus did reflected God's image.

Be fruitful and multiply. Be fruitful in everything you do and multiply it. You got to realize what power you have within you. God has given It to us so that we would stand strong and face the drama of our lives boldly. Having dominion and authority and power over everything, even the angels listen to what we say. You have the power to quench every fiery darts of the devil. You have the ability to bind and lose things on the earth. You have the dominating power to triumph over your enemy. The dominion mandate. I pray that you will realize what you are capable of doing. Do you reflect His image today?

Let this day be the day of the Lord!
