Created For His Glory
-Samson Adelani

Jer 1:1

"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations." "Ah, Sovereign LORD," I said, "I do not know how to speak; I am only a child." But the LORD said to me, "Do not say, `I am only a child.

His blessed memory ,Dr Myles Munroe once said,"when purpose is not known,abuse is inevitable".
When you understand the purpose and functions of a thing, then you can explore and maximize the benefits and advantages it provides.

Human beings were products of complex and conscious design. Structurally computed for a purpose and engineered for a reason. God wouldn't have made humans as junks to litter the earth surface.

Gen 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.

Created For His Purpose

#1,We are created to serve and worship God.As we do this,our Dominion is established.
Gen 1:28.

Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”

God created an office for Adam & Eve to serve Him and function in order to be established in Dominion forever.
Gen 2:8-15.

The Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden, and there He put the man whom He had formed. And out of the ground the Lord God made every tree grow that is pleasant to the sight and good for food. The tree of life was also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

Now a river went out of Eden to water the garden, and from there it parted and became four riverheads. The name of the first is Pishon; it is the one which skirts the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold. And the gold of that land is good. Bdellium and the onyx stone are there. The name of the second river is Gihon; it is the one which goes aroud the whole land of kush.The name of the third river is Hiddekel;it is the one which goes toward the east of Assyria. The fourth river is the Euphrates.Then the Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to tend and keep it.

This is simply service to God- # Dress it & Keep it.

So as Christians you don't have to be idle and fold your arms.You have the responsibility to find out what your responsibility is in your church and God's kingdom as a whole.Find out what God called you to do.You might be called to function in five fold ministries or you are in Mercy/supporting ministries.
Surely you have an office in the kingdom of God and it is high time you discovered them

#2 Created to Fear & Honour God.

God never created any being or things that He has no power to manage.God rules by power and He demonstrated that when He puts the devil to where he belongs.
The point here is,as you discover your office and function in it,don't leave the fear of God behind. Don't overstep rules and regulations.Every office has some, and they define your functionalities.

Adam & Eve, devil, they all encroached on God's commandments and bitterness and displacement ensued.
Gen 2:16-17

The Lord God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
Devil(Lucifer)

Isaiah14:12-15

How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!

For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:

I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.

Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.

Remember God's commandments are basis for our relationships with Him.Don't break them. Never you try to outsmart Him. Don't jump in front of the Shepherd. It is a distrastrous move. Go slow and steady according to His leading.Surely,you will get there and be established in Dominion.

# Keep God's fear intact if you want Him closely
