Meditate On This Tonight. by Mrsoft3(m): 8:39pm On Apr 08, 2021
Meditate on this tonight:

Genesis 1:27-28
27. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
28. And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

The first man(Adam) was made from clay by God. Before then God created male and female in his image, he gave them dominion (delegating power/authority) to function. It was this dominion God gave to man to subdue the earth,the beast of the field and everything on earth was under the authority of man.

God made man like him,he made sure man has everything he needs to function on earth.
When Adam fell in the garden of Eden he lost 3 things;
1. The presence of God (the holy spirit). The bible made us understand God will come down in the cool of the day to commune with man everyday

2. He lost righteousness; righteousness is the ability to stand before the father without any atom of sin guiltiness. Remember after the fall when God came down as usual to commune, he didn't see man and he called out , Adam where are you, and Adam replied I heard your voice and hid for I am naked. Sin guiltiness makes you far away from the father.

3. He lost dominion; dominion is the delegating power of God on earth, Adam named all the animals God brought before him, he was never attacked by this animals. And God said he named them just perfectly.

The assignment of christ on earth was for us to return to that right standing with God, he became the bridge that restores us to the father. Remember the bible, telling us about how sin came in by one man(Adam),and by another man(our lord Jesus) redemption came. To be redeemed means to be bought by a price, the price Jesus gave was his blood. The stainless blood of Jesus paid all on the cross.

Tonight, I want us to have a sober reflection of our life, do we still remain under the old man(Adam)? Or we are experiencing the full nature of the new man(Jesus). Jesus paid it all, he doesn't owe anything,and he did it for me and you.
Shalom
