Thediarygame/betterlife,My Wednesday,Bearing the Image and Likeness of God.

Hello Steemians,

It was Wednesday again and time for our manifest fellowship.
Yesterday, we had another fellowship that was pointing us to the sermon the image of God.
The man Of God Apostle Grace Lubega shared the sermon sometime back , so this was a pre- recorded sermon that we listened to on Zoom.

He started with the book of Genesis 1:26, where God said Let us make man in our image after our likeness and let him have dominion over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. One of the most misunderstood concepts in the world today is who man is. The following is what he shared .

-Because man is created in the image and likeness of God, he is given complete authority.
-Look at robotics ,internet, communication platforms ,electricity ,the inventions in medicine. The world has invented things.
-Adam and Eve had an inferior opinion about themselves that’s why they fell from a certain glory.
-There was a reason why man could not die before the fall.

-It is possible for men to go to heaven without dying for example Elijah and Enoch.
-The bible in Romans 1:19, emphasized that every invisible thing of God since creation has now been revealed to man.
-If we know God to know all, then that which knows all is in us.
-Now we are without excuse .The new man has been renewed after the knowledge and image of him who created him.
-The knowledge of God is in you, however men have rejected knowledge, men have refused to connect to what is available to them.
-When they knew God, they glorified him not as God. They changed the glory of the incorruptible God to what is corruptible. That is why people are worshipping monkeys, lions. They have bowed to worship the fallen nature .But even in that man still has results .Even in their ignorance.
-God even when he knows is not a hundred percent sorry, he still forgives them.
-When you put on the image and likeness which has been renewed in knowledge, means he has reset your attitude, opinion ,ideals.
-When God saw you coming, he sent Jesus Christ to help you, conformed you to the image of Christ. He saw you as the right candidate .You were designed to that reality. What the fallen nature tries to achieve, ye are gods.
-Let us go back to that likeness , complete authority over the word. Because you knew God , you did not worship him as God. He says ask for nations and you are asking for a plot of land to build your retirement home. Yet God wants to give you the whole world.
-God is not far from man, the voice of God is near. Create a reality with the things you have heard.

Thank you all for reading this, more coming up next Wednesday.
