Worthy of pondering is the reason why God in his infinite knowledge thought it wise to first after creating all-things to get life livable, made MAN, and commanded him to be in-charge of all that He made.
The process of making man was however non-living without the spiritual dimension of God which he released into man to make him differ from other things He created in the preceding days, the breath of God made him unique and stands-out from every other works of God.
Man with the responsibility bestowed on him by his Maker will never be achievable without fully understanding the concept of his headship. First; we deduced that God made man in His image and after is likeness, but the first phase of man was lifeless. He has nose but couldn’t breathe, ears but hears not, hands he couldn’t lift, non-seeing eyes and the list goes on.
The critique of knowledge from this poses that, remove the breathe of God from man and you’ll have a thing or object which animals would have been far superior to. This further import that, if God didn’t breathe into man, he wouldn’t have been able to tend to the garden of Eden, and the idea of a lonely life for a help-meet to fill would be baseless. Afterall, clay feel anything? This would have been the disposition of man.
But the ever knowing wisdom of God saw what man was like without his breathe in him, and that informed one of the laws given man to not bow down to any mortal image that has eyes and cannot see, nose and cannot breathe etc.
Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: – Exodus 20:4
It’s however amazing that man still bows to images or things which he man is above and attribute certain power to such image. The same that couldn’t worshipped God until the breath of God changed the narrative.
A Mortal That Must Fail
Without any doubt, no man can amount to or do anything successful at tilling to the garden God has given him, either of career, marriage, fatherhood, ministry, business, you may add as you deemed-fit, to suite the insatiable urge of mans’ needs/wants on earth, without activating the breath of God in him.
Efforts of is mortal strength, intelligence, network, etc will always make man fail. But admitting to knowing nothing by himself and being dead to everything ”my ability” will always make God come through for him.
”Verily, verily, I say unto you, except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.” – John 12:24
The Breath Living Man
Before God’s breathe came into man, he was lifeless, hence; necessity is placed on every man who will amount to anything in the will of God in life to acknowledge he knows nothing in every situation and circumstance he may be faced with in life, and constantly master the act of invoking the Breathe of God over everything. Because it was when the breathe came, that man could function in anything meaningful.
Our world today is going wrong because we have fathers, families, homes that exists without the breath of God and living with the carcass of a breathless creature that he was, while allowing that which is not of God to dominate and determine how they should live, set values and raise their family. The impact of this is; we have on the high; a failed man/father, wife, children home, family etc. We’ve abandoned the breathe of life and allow anything to take over, because life does not allow anyone to be vacuum, one is either governed by God or Satan.
The vacuum we’ve failed to allow God to fill, because He respects our free-will and would not impose Himself on us, is being taken-over by the wickedness of this world. It is time we arise and let God use us in our individual homes to establish his will here on earth as it is in heaven. It will not happen by magic, every father must be awakened and take charge of their Eden, invoke the breathe of God to make him come alive and resist every serpent messing with the authority of the man’s head to raise God’s own marriage, children, home, family et al to increase Gods’ kingdom.
This is because, when a man fails, the entire family fails, this was established when Adam failed, to really be in-charged over Eve. She was allowed to go wherever she wants, meet whoever she pleases and do whatever she wants without the consent of the man, but when the consequences germinated, before God queried the woman, He first asked the accountability question from Adam, and we know the aftermath.
We must as a matter of urgency get into action now, because the adversary rest-not, and we cannot be nonchalant while he continue having conversation with our Eve et al.
It Father’s day today, let’s every Father be saddled with the responsibility to channel is Wife, Children, Family, Home etc to God, so we can raise a Godfearing posterity for our family, generation, nation and world.
Achieving the above is a spiritual exercise that requires activation of the breath of God upon a man, to bring upon him the being that he is in accordance to the will of God and not by personal skill or know-how for the furtherance of Gods’ kingdom from is life and family.
May God enable every man with grace in Jesus name.
