THEME: TIME FOR CONSULTATION
Memorise:
And God said, Let us make man in our
image, after our likeness: and let them have
dominion over the fish of the sea, and over
the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and
over all the earth, and over every creeping
thing that creepeth upon the earth. Genesis
1:26
Read: Genesis 1:26-27
1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our
image, after our likeness: and let them have
dominion over the fish of the sea, and over
the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and
over all the earth, and over every creeping
thing that creepeth upon the earth.
1:27 So God created man in his own image,
in the image of God created he him; male
and female created he them.
Message:
From the creation story, the fact that man
was the last of God’s creation, though he is
the most significant, indicates that God can
give you the very best at the end. From this
we understand that the end of believers is
glorious. No wonder Ecclesiastes 7:8 says,
“Better is the end of a thing than the
beginning thereof: and the patient in spirit
is better than the proud in spirit.”
You might have started on a shaky note, but
I want to assure you that you will end up
being well established. Your faith may be
very weak now, but it will become great
faith at the end. Never judge your future by
the limitation of your present! God will help
you overcome those obstacles and
limitations, and He will safely take you to
your glorious end. Indeed, Job 8:7 says you
might have started small but you will end
with great increase, provided you sustain a
blossoming relationship with God.
In addition, we observe from the account of
creation in Genesis chapter 1 that when God
was making all other things, He did not call a
council meeting, but when it came to the
creation of man, a council meeting of the
Godhead was called. They all had to be in
agreement for man to be created. The
implication of this is that to get the best
from God, man must be in total unity and
alignment with Him. Also, we will be wise to
follow the pattern demonstrated by the
Godhead in all our decisions. Some issues
are more sensitive and volatile than others.
There is a time to take a unilateral decision
on issues, and there is also a time to consult
widely and take a joint decision. Lastly,
when it comes to the issue of human
management, you would need to go to God
for help. Why? Human beings are the most
difficult resources to handle. They are very
diverse in thought, knowledge and
understanding, and so their responses to
issues are so divergent and vast. Human
beings are also unreliable; it’s no wonder,
Jesus did not commit Himself to any man.
John 2:24-25 says,
“But Jesus did not commit himself unto
them, because he knew all men, And needed
not that any should testify of man: for he
knew what was in man.”
If you will succeed in leading men and
women, you must involve God to a large
extent. How well are you managing fellow
men?
Key Point:
To effectively lead men, you must be
connected to the One who made man.

HYMN 9: ON THE HILL FAR AWAY
1. On a hill far away stood an old rugged
cross,
The emblem of suff’ring and shame;
And I love that old cross where the Dearest
and Best
For a world of lost sinners was slain.
Refrain:
So I’ll cherish the old rugged cross,
Till my trophies at last I lay down;
I will cling to the old rugged cross,
And exchange it someday for a crown.
2. Oh, that old rugged cross, so despised by
the world,
Has a wondrous attraction for me;
For the dear Lamb of God left His glory
above
To bear it to dark Calvary.
Refrain:
3. In that old rugged cross, stained with
blood so divine,
A wondrous beauty I see,
For ’twas on that old cross Jesus suffered
and died,
To pardon and sanctify me.
Refrain:
4. To the old rugged cross I will ever be true;
Its shame and reproach gladly bear;
Then He’ll call me someday to my home far
away,
Where His glory forever I’ll share.
Refrain:
