No Dust, No Making. by Seyibabalola(m): 4:48am On Sep 27, 2016
No Dust, No Making.

If we look back at how the world evolved, we will see that God is not a magician, but a God of order. He could be a magician, but he chooses to be orderly. Why he does so is nobody's business. God showed orderliness in the way he created everything as you can recall.
And now the making of man is not an exemption on the 6th day. God showed orderliness. God showed that no man can be made without dust. Scripture says he formed man of the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils and man became a living soul. Don't you wonder why God didn't just say "let there be man" and man just appeared from nowhere? He could do that, but he chose to be still orderly and to show us that no one can be made without the dust.
Your making in life is going to come from the things you don't take serious, the things you take lightly, the things that are small and may look ugly, the things you joke with. God is so orderly that he chooses to make something out of nothing serious or big in human eyes. Look at this for example, Jesus was born in Bethlehem, a small village, not a city. Of all places, no one could have known anything called Bethlehem, if not for the birth of Jesus that brought the place to limelight. What of Naaman's leprosy which was cleansed by one dirty river Jordan? And do you remember the wall of Jericho falling just by the Israelites walking round it seven times and shouting hallelujah?
Why do you look for big things to be made in life? God makes men of great destinies from small things, small meetings, small jobs, small income. You have to reduce yourself to dust, if you want to be made. 1 Peter 5:6: "Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time"
A man who violates the orderliness of God and make himself will definitely miss his purpose and the best of God for his life, because God has created a garden for you in Eden where he plans to put you after making you. There is a garden of Eden somewhere for everyman. But some have missed their gardens by doing the work of their making by themselves. They are now living in beautiful houses, enjoying some measure of financial wealth, but you can't compare the garden of Eden to a garden you create by yourself.
I went further and saw that no making is complete without the life of God. God breathed his life into man to complete his making. That is another orderliness. God could have just made man a living soul without breathing into his nostrils his breath, but he breathed into man to show him that wherever he finds himself and whetever he finds himself becoming in life, he is not complete without God in him. The breath represents God. But when man destroyed the life of God in him through sin, he began to experience an incomplete life. Don't lose God in your making, no matter who you become in life.
