MAN'S COMPANION

-

Genesis 2:19-23

So the Lord God formed from the ground all the wild animals and all the birds of the sky. He brought them to the man to see what he would call them, and the man chose a name for each one.

He gave names to all the livestock, all the birds of the sky, and all the wild animals. But still there was no helper just right for him.

So the Lord God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep. While the man slept, the lord God took out one of the man’s ribs and closed up the opening.

Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib, and he brought her to the man.

“At last!” the man exclaimed. 

“This one is bone from my bone, and flesh from my flesh! 

She will be called ‘woman,’ because she was taken from ‘man.’”


Following God's order of things would have made all things good and perfect. However, in trying to explore and listening to the wrong leadings, man destroyed the good God made for him.


In the verses recorded in Genesis we see that man named all the animals, however, though they were a help to him, they could never be that real help he needed. Then the great Architect Himself brought about the solution, a true companion.


Listen beastiality and homosexuality can never be from God!


This is the mystery of marriage:


Genesis 2:24

This explains why a man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife, and the two are united into one.


Listen, there is no dishonour either to the man(husband) or to the woman(wife) it was a perfect union. No schism between the two.


Genesis 2:25

Now the man and his wife were both naked, but they felt no shame.


What do we have today, the bastardization of marriage. Where did this anomaly come from?


It started from the enemy's deceit which we will look at very soon. The sin brought evil desires to man. Then the evil intervention of heavenly beings who came to interact with humans (females especially) and then the mutation and evolutions of media.


Yes, media has played a big role to what we humans have become. What we see and hear makes up our personality, believe system and norms/misnomers.


Be careful what your children feed their ears and eyes with!


The bible(record of scriptures) still holds the ultimate truth of what marriage should be. God created it. Jesus talked about it. Paul and Peter expanded on it by the power of the Holy Spirit.


Marriage is spiritual and ought to be between two people, yes, two opposite sexes - man and woman.


Marriage is honourable and is the only institution recognized by God for the two to be naked and not ashamed.


"Man" and "woman" alike must play their roles to make it work. No one trying to take advantage of the other.


As Jesus said:


Matthew 19:3-8

Some Pharisees came and tried to trap him with this question: “Should a man be allowed to divorce his wife for just any reason?”

“Haven’t you read the Scriptures?” Jesus replied. “They record that from the beginning ‘God made them male and female.’”

And he said, “‘This explains why a man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife, and the two are united into one.’

Since they are no longer two but one, let no one split apart what God has joined together.”

“Then why did Moses say in the law that a man could give his wife a written notice of divorce and send her away?” they asked.

Jesus replied, “Moses permitted divorce only as a concession to your hard hearts, but it was not what God had originally intended.


Listen, there is a purpose for our lives, there are great things the Lord wants us to do. It is foolishness spending valuable time arguing about what is not convenient, things God has already settled. They are all distractions - sin and lust are both distractions.


They steal your valuable time and then keep you busy trying to clean or cover up the mess you have created, you end up not fulfilling your purpose but bring regret, illness and separation from God.


Don't get it twisted.


Remember:


Genesis 1:31

Then God looked over all he had made, and he saw that it was very good!And evening passed and morning came, marking the sixth day.


If God said it was good, who is that devil that should tell you otherwise, BE WISE.


Help us Good Lord.


He calls us blessed.


Love

DO YOU STILL SEE?

-
Habakkuk 2:3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time; but at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, it will not tarry. It may have been easy when we first believed, to visualize the promises. We reach out with zeal, loving God, seeking to do exploits. That was when we first believed, just as Jesus said: John 3:3 Jesus answered and said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." When we become born again we see God's kingdom, our spirit man is reborn and we count the flesh as nothing. Then time passes by, we are in the world, all its distractions, temptations, responsibilities, challenges and so on begin to reveal themselves. The question then is: * Can we still see heaven? John 3:3 * Are we still zealous? John 2:17 * Are we continuing in those things? Acts 2:42 * Are we walking in love? 1John 4:7 or Has the cares and worries of life and service ta

DO UNTO OTHERS . . .

-
Matthew 7:12 "Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets. It is hypocritical of us to expect people to stand with us when we are experiencing challenges yet when we see others face their own challenges, we begin to imagine what they must have done wrong or maybe they annoyed God or did one evil or the other instead of reaching out to help as we would desire others to do for us. The same thing goes for prosperity, when the Lord opens a door for us and we have abundance of wealth or a breakthrough we expect others to rejoice with us, more so, some would even find it hard to give to others. What is our reaction when someone else gets this breakthrough, do we get suddenly suspicious without reason. Do we expect the person to reach out to us? It is better to stay on the side of encouragement than to sit as a judge or prosecutor. Jesus said, Matthew 7:2 "For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the same

MY YEAR OF FULFILMENT

-
Psalms 57:2 I cry out to God Most High, to God who will fulfill his purpose for me. We just finished the book of 1Samuel, in this book we see the cry of Israel for a king and how God raised Saul to rule them. We also saw how Saul disobeyed God and lost kingship for himself and his generation. He did not stop there, he went on to seek for the death of David, whom he saw as the next heir of the throne. In chapter 31, the last chapter, we see how Saul and all his sons and men were killed, it was tragic, however it was as a sign of relief for David. We could go on counting all the struggles and difficulties we faced in the past year. No, we should not, we should begin to look at all the positives, remembering all the good things God has done for us. If He promised it, He will do it and that is what we hold onto as we go through this year. Hebrews 10:23 Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise. This is the year of fulfilment, and
