I'll like to begin to series of revelation teaching with you on the Gospel and/or the mind of God in the creation account of Genesis chapter one. The Bible says,

For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. 1 Cor. 2:11 Kjv

The word of God also declare to us,

But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. 1 Cor. 2:10 Kjv

Also, our God knows the end from the beginning. Isaiah 46:10; Rev. 22:13. What on earth is the beginning of creation as we know? Genesis! The creation account of Genesis and the the word also declares, the end of a matter/thing is better than the beginning. Ecl. 7:8. God has the end in mind right from the creation and you are included in the mind of God.

Let us start with Genesis 1:1

In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. (Kjv)

What is the Gospel of God in this verse and/or in the mind of God? It is the Gospel of NEW CREATION or NEW CREATURE. In the beginning God created. What God created is the physical world but what we understand by the physical world is the invisibly of the visible creation. The NEW CREATION OR CREATURE is in the mind of God when He created the visible world. Listen to this:

For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: Romans 1:20 Kjv

For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities--his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God. (NLT)

Glory to God. Romans 1:20 in New Living Translation is awesome! What is clearly seen is God's invisible qualities and one of this invisible qualities that is seen from creation is divine nature. How is that possible - through the new creation or creature. David understood the key word in Genesis 1:1, "create" and he said,

Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. Psalm 51:10 Kjv

Only God is the subject of creation. David understood this revelation and hence he prayed, "Create...O God...". This is exactly what happens in the new creation - The spirit of a man is renewed and such man becomes a new creature. The English verb “create” captures well the meaning of the Hebrew term in this context. The verb (bara’) always describes the divine activity of fashioning something new, fresh, and perfect. The verb means but not limited to creation out of nothing (see, for example, Gen. 1:27, where it refers to the creation of man); it often stresses creation anew.

Apostle Paul tapped into this same revelation and Gospel in the creation account and he wrote,

Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 2 Cor. 5:17 Kjv.

If ANY MAN means the sinful man, the wayward man, the lying man, the man that steals, the man that fornicates, the man that commits adultery, the man that cheats, the man that does wickedness, the man that kills, the man that hates, the man that commits abortion, the occult man, the ritual man, the pagan man, the labouring man, the cursed man, the rejected and neglected man, the forsaken man, the suicide attempting man, the heavy ladened man, the weary man, the unfruitful man, the backsliden man, the tormented man, the fearful man etc. If ANY MAN be in Christ, he is a new creation. This is the mind of God from the beginning of creation so that the END of this earth can be better than the BEGINNING according to Ecl. 7:8. Today, if you are reading this article and you are this kind of "ANY MAN", I give you a special invitation to open your heart to God and come to Christ so you can become a NEW CREATURE. Being in Christ is the ONLY qualification you need to become a NEW CREATURE of God.

According to Romans 1:20 above, God deposits his divine nature in you at the new creation or new birth and you become a new creature. You, if/when in Christ are the new creation of God of the end that shall be better than the beginning of creation. I'll like you to invite Jesus into your heart today, harden not your heart for today is the day of salvation. Turn from your old man of sins, believe Jesus Christ, confess him as Lord and Saviour and begin to live a NEW life in Christ Jesus because you are NEW CREATURE and new creatures don't live an old life and that is why the scripture says, old things are gone and ALL things are NEW, why? because you are a NEW CREATURE IN CHRIST JESUS.

(I will continue from verse two)

And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. Genesis 1:2-3 Kjv

FROM DARKNESS TO LIGHT

In the new creature experience as we started, the first thing that God does by Holy Spirit is to transform a man from darkness into light and the light of the gospel is put in the spirit of a man. Listen to this,

But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light. 1 Peter 2:9 Kjv

Apostle Paul also showed us by the Spirit of God citing from Genesis 1:2-3 in 2 Corinthians 4:6,

For God, who said, "Let light shine out of darkness," made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ.

This is the work and manifestation of the Holy Spirit in the heart of a man. By the Spirit, darkness is transformed into light. Formlessness and voidness is lifted off the life of the man in Christ in the new creature. There is transformation from darkness to light. Take a look and notice of change from "darkness...surface of the deep" to "Spirit of God moving...surface of the waters". The text deliberately changes now from the term for the watery deep to the general word for water. The arena is now the life-giving water and not the chaotic abyss-like deep. The change may be merely stylistic, but it may also carry some significance. The deep carries with it the sense of the abyss, chaos and darkness – in short, that which is not good for life while the water is the living water that flows from the spirit of a new creature, by the Holy Spirit. Jesus said, "out of your belle shall flow rivers of living water" John 7:38.

THE PURPOSE OF THE LIGHT IN THE NEW CREATURE

This great and marvellous light in the life of the new creature is to be the light of the world because the world from which the new creature was called from is full of darkness. Isaiah said, "darkness shall cover the earth and gross darkness the people but the Lord shall arise upon....." - Isaiah 60:2. Jesus said, you (that is, new creature man) are the light of the world. You cannot give a light you don't have. But as you are a new creature in Christ, there is a light in you through Christ.

In him was life; and the life was the light of men. John 1:4 Kjv

When you are in Christ, a "life" in infused into you and this life gives you light and with this new light that you now have, you can then become the light of the world. The light will give form and shape to the formlessness and voidness of your life. All men shall see your light and glorify your father who is in heaven. This light will draw others to Christ even as you continue to live in the light of the Gospel. By your new life that will translate in your new way of life, gentiles shall come to the light.

And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. And God saw the light, that [it was] good: and God divided the light from the darkness. And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day. Genesis 1:3-5 Kjv

As we go further in our discourse on the Gospel of Genesis chapter one. I'll still like to remind you/us from our previous teachings that what began in Genesis was completed in Christ. How? If ANY man be in Christ, he is a new creature/creation. Today, I will teach on the highlighted from the above three verses.

And God said. What in the world is God doing and what is the message of the Gospel here? There is a condition in which the earth as we know at this time lies. The earth at this time was formless, void and darkness was upon the face of the deep. The act of God therein is the act of faith in action by His word. Words mixed and spoken in faith is a transforming virtue to the new creatures in Christ. Listen to how Jesus puts it,

For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. Mark 11:23 Kjv

Doubt and unbelief in the heart is a faith killer and poison to the "seeing" of whatever the new creature "says". The Bible says, what God said....God saw. How? It is by the force of faith - Hebrews 11:3. How does faith come or how do we get faith? It comes by the word of God and by the Spirit of God - Romans 10:17; 1 Corinthians 12:9. What God said is not void of faith. They are not empty words. The words didn't return void but accomplished its purpose because they were faith-filled words. Also, we understand from the word of God that faith without works is dead. Do you desire anything from God, speak to God in prayer of faith and take a step of faith, it shall answer for you. All you need is faith like a mustard seed, for all things are possible to him that believes. Speak your heart to God in prayer of faith, and within the time of life, there shall be a manifestation to the Glory of God.

God divided the light from the darkness. The word "divided" here in KJV literally translate or mean "separate or to separate". This one of the fundamentals of the Gospel teachings. As God did separate darkness from light means darkness and light should not and cannot co-exist. As we become a new creature in Christ after being brought out of darkness into the marvellous light, God expects us to stay and remain in the light and never to mingle with all sort of unfruitful works of darkness. Listen to the Apostle wrote,

Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? 2 Corinthians 6:14 Kjv

Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you. 2 Corinthians 6:17

It saddens the heart of our God when those that had seen the light still live their lives as those still in darkness. New creatures don't live old lives. In this new kingdom, lives are lived differently and the kingdom lifestyle is different and separated unto God. After ANY man be in Christ and such is a new creature, God desires that you live according to the light shed in your heart, not according to the old man that used to live in darkness. If you used to steal, steal no more etc - living a life according to light rather than the old man of darkness, your life becomes a living epistle which is read by many and through your light-life, many Gentiles shall be drawn to the light of God. If God did separated the light from darkness, how then shall we (new creature) co-exist our light with darkness? God forbid! Howbeit, the only thing God permits us not to be separated from is the love of Christ. Nothing is suppose to separate of from the love of Christ - Romans 8:35-39.

the evening and the morning were the first day. Finally for today, I'll like to end with the words of encouragement. It was the evening and the morning in the program of God that makes a day and not the other way round. Does it look like you are in the evening now? Does it look like you are going through a dark hour and period of life right now? Listen to the Psalmist,

For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning. Psalm 30:5 Kjv

@bro goshen talking about faith...one of my aunts is sick of cancer, she has faith! She's in serious pains right now...remember her in ur prayers u hear?
