Then God blessed them, and God mentioned to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the ocean, over the birds of the air, and over each residing factor that strikes on the earth.” Genesis 1:28
The above Bible verse is being practiced or fulfilled by Majority of the folks that have white pores and skin and only a few folks amongst black folks. God created us and equips us to work, the work of the ”creation mandate” was handed to us for our personal good.
All the things is grounded on God’s creation of individuals in his personal picture, from Genesis 1:26-27, 5:1. All creation shows God’s design, energy, and goodness, however solely human beings are mentioned to be made in God’s picture. A full theology of the picture of God is past our scope right here, so allow us to merely observe that one thing about us is uniquely like him.
However the chief factor we find out about God, to date within the narrative, is that God is a creator who works within the materials world, who works in relationship, and whose work observes limits. We have now the flexibility to do the identical.
Chapter 2 of Genesis focus on about dominion, provision, fruitfulness/development, limits, and relationships, and we should proceed on this regards in creating what’s going to make life simpler for us in keeping with God mandate.
However now a days, particularly in Africa, we’re bringing many to our church buildings and having packages upon packages on a regular basis whereas different nations are educating their kids to be creators (drawback solvers).
We educate our youngsters to wish for all the pieces together with jobs, good telephones and vehicles, whereas they (civilized nations) educate theirs to create jobs, invent good telephones and vehicles.
Then our youngsters turn into adults who go and work beneath those that obey God and created jobs, our youngsters battle to get small cash to purchase good telephones that we disobeyed God in creating, our youngsters go to church to have fun the Pastor for good telephones and vehicles bought from different nations whose kids have turn into adults who invent vehicles and good telephones with their God given abilities.
Whereas right here in Africa we sleep within the church ready for miracle from God which have already equips everybody of us with abilities as advised within the Scripture, Matthew 25: 14-30.
This are the identical folks that introduced Islam and Christianity to us however they don’t seem to be behaving or disobeying God the best way we do. They go to church however dont waste time within the church as it is not uncommon in Africa, they pray and have religion that God has answered their prayer however we right here in Africa, after praying we’re nonetheless ready for miracle as an alternative of us to behave on no matter prayer now we have as we learn from James 2:14-26.
We find yourself consuming the good vehicles and iphone 14 professional max they create with their God given abilities and we gathered, give testimony, and are proud of not fulfilling God’s Phrase. We transcend that, we began praising, boasting that it was pastor’s prayers and anointing that gave us these gadgets and vehicles.
We’re educating our youngsters that “A” is for “Apple” and they’re educating their children how you can flip apples into different merchandise and how you can impregnate apples to present start to lovely bubbles.
They’re educating their children coding and programming in effectively outfitted faculties whereas we’re educating our youngsters how you can prophecy and converse in tongues in effectively outfitted church buildings. Whereas there’s nothing flawed with elevating a toddler in a church, (many nice achievers are being increase within the church), it’s flawed if our youngsters stay inside the security of the partitions of faith. That is a limitation on the thoughts of the African baby.
Our kids’s faculty drama is about how you can be a pastor or imam whereas theirs is about how you can relocate to a brand new planet. They boast about conquering Mars, whereas we boast about seeing desires and listening to prophecies.
We select our leaders based mostly on tribe and faith whereas they select theirs based mostly on the options these leaders deliver to the desk. I would like our church buildings to proceed in creating issues that may empower their members finacially, spiritually, mentally, bodily and so forth. Why is it that now we have many individuals poor within the church?
We’re poor but look wealthy however they’re wealthy but look poor. We could also be doom on the final day if we do not change our mindset. Matthew 7:23.
Please share this put up till each African baby learn it and alter their mindset. Sufficient is sufficient, Insanity means pondering the identical method you used to suppose ten years in the past however anticipating a special end result. If you’d like actual adjustments, then follow what’s written within the Scripture in opposition to what you used to know and embrace new information for brand new outcomes.
It is time to educate the African baby how you can turn into a god – creator of options.
