Christian Living
We sometimes read the account of creation and conclude that God created the universe from nothing. While this may seem right in a way, considering that there was originally void, formlessness and darkness on the face of the earth, however, it wasn’t these things that gave rise to the universe. In and of themselves, void and formlessness will maintain their current state or deteriorate but very unlikely to transform to something useful on their own. And as for darkness, it is just a natural habitat for all sorts of imaginable and unimaginable evil to thrive, for dreams to never be realized, for possibilities to continue to be hidden or concealed. Darkness never outshines light, God is light, so every time God steps into darkness, light happens and darkness ceases to be (John 1:5, 1 John 1:5, AMPC).
God didn’t exactly create the world out of nothing- void, formlessness and darkness could never give rise to the world. I believe that two forces worked together to bring about the world we now live in; the Spirit and the Word of God.
God’s Spirit brooded, hovered and moved over the face of the deep waters and darkness, initiating change, then God created the the Heavens and the Earth out of Words.
“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the SPIRIT of God was hovering over the face of the waters. Then God SAID; “Let there be light”, AND THERE WAS LIGHT.”
Genesis 1:1-3 NKJV
The words that God spoke were not ordinary Words, they were not just mere words, they were not careless/useless words, they were living, powerful and sharp words (Hebrews 4:12).
God’s Words were living enough to bring forth life (Genesis 1:25-26), they were powerful enough to create/produce things and they were sharp enough to separate created things that required seperation (Genesis 1:4).
You know when you visit a supermarket to buy say; a can of beverage, somewhere on the body of the can, the manufacturers always show where the item was manufactured from, for example;….Made in Britain …..Made in France…..Made in China….etc.
Well, God made the Universe/World from Words (His Words). And if everything we were born into came into being from God’s Words, I believe that everything we want to create can also come from God’s Word spoken in faith.
Look at Hebrews 11:3;
“By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible.”
Hebrews 11:3 NKJV
By faith, we know!
By faith, we believe!!
By faith the invisible becomes visible.
By faith, we can create our world.
By faith, we (ourselves) must bring whatever it is God has shown us, whispered to us, spoken aloud to us by believing that we have it, speaking and acting like we have it.
God RECEIVED the light He called forth into existence (He saw it!) and it was so…
Friend, you don’t have to wait for God or anyone to do it.
You are of God, you are a son of God, You can create your world!
Don’t give up hope
Keep believing
Keep speaking
Keep moving
And because God is faithful and His Word is true, overtime, those seemingly invisible things will become visible.
