October 27, 2022 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

The DAY STAR And DAY SPRING Visitation Is Come: Jesus Christ – He’s Our DAY STAR To Enlighten Our Dark And Darkness – And our DAY SPRING Fountain For Blossoming, Refreshing And Rejuvenating!

“. . . whereby the DAYSPRING from on high hath visited us, 79 to give LIGHT to them that SIT in DARKNESS and in the SHADOW OF DEATH, to GUIDE our feet into the WAY of peace . . .” (Luke 1:68-80).

“For with thee is the FOUNTAIN OF LIFE: in thy LIGHT shall we see LIGHT” Psalms 36:9.

I pray for you this day in the precious name of Jesus, for the illumination and enlightenment of your dawn day by the beam of The DAY STAR over every dark and darkness that have hindered your vision – insights and foresights – to accomplish your God given plans, purposes and pursuits in life and godliness.

May the fullness beam of God’s light, which is of the Day Star from on high, visit and elevate you from every form of the dark, darkness and shadow of death, that have hampered your vision – insights and foresights – in Christ Jesus’ name, Amen!

May by the blossoming, refreshing and rejuvenating fountain of the Day Spring of our salvation, may your life and being be refreshed and refreshing, blossom and blossoming, rejuvenate and rejuvenating day by day, in life and grace. As Jesus Christ is the fountain of life, springing up the well of the indwelling Holy Spirit, may you never run dry and be THIRSTY in the cause of doing life and living godly in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS.

“We have also a more SURE WORD OF PROPHECY; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a LIGHT THAT SHINETH IN A DARK PLACE, UNTIL THE DAY DAWN, AND THE DAY STAR ARISE IN YOUR HEARTS: 20 knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation” 2 Peter 1:19-20.

BEING GOD’S SET-MAN FOR THE CONGREGATION: A MINISTERIAL RESPONSIBILITY AND ACCOUNTABILITY!

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“And Moses spake unto the Lord, saying, 16 Let the Lord, the God of the spirits of all flesh, SET A MAN over the CONGREGATION, 17 which may GO OUT before them, and which may GO IN before them, and which may LEAD them out, and which may BRING them in; that the CONGREGATION of the Lord be not as SHEEP which have no SHEPHERD” Number 27:15-17.

“Beside those things that are WITHOUT, that which cometh upon me DAILY, THE CARE of all the CHURCHES” 2 Corinthians 11:28.

“And such trust have we through Christ to God-ward: 5 not that we are SUFFICIENT of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our SUFFICIENCY is of God; 6 who also hath MADE us ABLE MINISTERS of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life” 2 Corinthians 3:4-6.

“Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have RECEIVED mercy, we FAINT NOT; 2 but have RENOUNCED the hidden things of dishonesty, not WALKING in craftiness, nor HANDLING the word of God deceitfully; but by MANIFESTATION of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God . . . 5 For we PREACH NOT OURSELVES, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your SERVANTS for Jesus’ sake. 6 For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. 7 But we have this TREASURE IN EARTHEN VESSELS, that the EXCELLENCY OF THE POWER may be of God, and not of us . . . 16 For which cause we FAINT NOT; but though our OUTWARD MAN PERISH, yet the INWARD MAN IS RENEWED day by day. 17 For our LIGHT AFFLICTION, which is but for a moment, WORKETH FOR US a far MORE EXCEEDING AND ETERNAL weight of glory; 18 while we LOOK NOT AT THE THINGS WHICH ARE SEEN, BUT AT THE THINGS WHICH ARE NOT SEEN: for the things which are SEEN ARE TEMPORAL; but the things which are NOT SEEN ARE ETERNAL” 2 Corinthians 4:1-18.

“Go, STAND and SPEAK in the temple to the people ALL THE WORDS of this life” Acts 5:20.

“And I will GIVE you PASTORS according to mine heart, which shall FEED you with KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING” Jeremiah 3:15.

“And he GAVE some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; 12 for THE PERFECTING of the saints, for THE WORK of the ministry, for THE EDIFYING of the body of Christ: 13 till we all come in THE UNITY of the faith, and of THE KNOWLEDGE of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto THE MEASURE of the stature of the fulness of Christ: 14 that we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; 15 but speaking THE TRUTH in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: 16 from whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love” Ephesians 4:11-16.

“So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, LOVEST THOU ME MORE THAN THESE? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, FEED MY LAMBS. 16 He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, LOVEST THOU ME? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, FEED MY SHEEP. 17 He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, LOVEST THOU ME? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, FEED MY SHEEP. 18 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, When thou wast young, thou girdedst thyself, and walkedst whither thou wouldest: but when thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and carry thee whither thou wouldest not. 19 This spake he, signifying by what death he should glorify God. And when he had spoken this, he saith unto him, FOLLOW ME” John 21:15-19.

SAME God – The God of The SEASONS

SAME God – The God of The SEASONS: Living Beyond The Limitations Of The WEATHER!

Are you been limited by the various life seasons? Do you think the weather you find yourself is limiting you? Do you think the AUTUMN, WINTER, SPRING and SUMMER weathers are having effect on you? Probably the dry season alias HARMATTAN or RAINFALL seasons as in some areas are your problems? Probably the seasons of holidays as – CHRISTMAS, EASTER, SPECIAL GOVERNMENT HOLIDAYS, OTHER RELIGIOUS and NON-RELIGIOUS HOLIDAYS and such like. Are they your profound noted and pointed asking for distress and worries?

Have you ever given a thought about the difference between the THERMOMETER and THERMOSTAT? That the first (THERMOMETER) absorb temperature of the surrounding weather to define itself while the second (THERMOSTAT) is not affected by the surrounding weather but instead detect and define it’s statesquo without external influence.

It thus mean therefore that your life DEFINITION are the choices that are within you – for you to either allow the Holy Spirit within you by God’s indwelling WORD to DEFINE you in order to thrive and be fruitful meaningfully and purposefully; and to fulfil who God have made you be in Christ Jesus stead; and that saves you, instead of making excuses and complaints of every weather and seasons to be your reason of subjection to the elements of this world – be it of natural causes, demonic causes, man made and make-believe or other factors. The choice is always yours to RESPOND thoughtfully or otherwise REACT ignorantly.

The Almighty God, the creator of all weather and seasons change not, and have made each to be fruitful, productive and fulfilling respectively. He made all things beautiful in creation and have planted within each man (non gender) with eternity (eternal spirit) within to give the enabling to connect to God for the very best in life. You can either act correspondingly to THRIVE and be FULLFIL or be gazing at the weather and seasons as the DISCIPLES of Christ Jesus once did and do nothing until the seasons and weather overwhelmed you. And thereafter you can blame no one of your nonchalant behaviour and attitude (conduct) for gaze watching instead of exercising the will to create, innovate, explore and initiate your own path of happiness and FULFILMENT within God’s will of grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead.

I employ you today to wake up and determine not to allow any form of life weather and seasons to define you in becoming who you born of God to be in Christ Jesus stead in doing LIFE and LIVING GODLY.

“He has made everything BEAUTIFUL and appropriate in its time. He has also planted ETERNITY [a sense of divine purpose] in the human heart [a mysterious longing which nothing under the sun can satisfy, except God]—yet man cannot find out (comprehend, grasp) what God has done (His overall plan) from the beginning to the end” Ecclesiastes 3:11 (Amplified).

“And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight. 10 And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel; 11 which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye GAZING up into heaven? THIS SAME Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven” Acts 1:9-11.

“Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a CHILD, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all; 2 but is UNDER tutors and governors until the time appointed of the father. 3 Even so we, when we were children, WERE IN BONDAGE UNDER THE ELEMENTS Of THE WORLD: 4 but when the FULNESS of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, 5 to REDEEM them that were under the law, that we might RECEIVE the adoption of sons. 6 And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. 7 Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ” Galatians 4:1-7.

BEING PRINCIPLED IN LIFE AND GODLINESS

October 26, 2022 By Pastor Chukie Leave a Comment

BEING PRINCIPLED IN LIFE AND GODLINESS: Start Taking RESPONSIBILITY AND Stop REACTING – No Matter What BETIDES You!

Your LIFE and GRACE POSITIONING is defined by the various decision and action you’ve made and are making in cause of time, resulting from either of these – REACT or RESPOND – to the circumstances that has befallen you in cause of time or is befalling you now..

Most time in life, people or persons may be INVOLVED and or BLAMED for the reasons for our fall into the ditch that we are currently or was into in time past; but one must come to know that it’s one’s RESPONSIBILITY to rise up and shake off that dust in order to BECOME in LIFE and GRACE again, otherwise we live REACTING to the circumstances that makes no difference.

You need to know and understand that the NEW CREATION in Christ Jesus stead, have NO PAST; and can’t be LIMITED by any factor no matter the gravity except one GIVE the PERMIT in the cause of doing life and living godly to BECOME, on what one is BORN of God to be in the face of any circumstance that comes one’s way.

Alternatively, one can take the place of REACTION or REACTING which is more of been negatively inclined; but you need to know and understand full well, for such REACTION or REACTING process, is the path of living a life of BLAMING others in one’s past history on WHOSOEVER and WHATSOEVER. That’s the path of seeking SELF JUSTIFICATION by being sentimental, on the reasons for one’s fall; just know for sure that the very act of REACTION or REACTING to a cause makes one to cherish and remain in the same statuesque, seeking for self-gratification, self-pity or others pity party and sympathy party in defeat.

You must come to know that it’s your ATTITUDE and not your APTITUDE, in TAKING RESPONSIBILITY to the NEW CREATION position toward your fall and circumstance that had or has befallen you, that DEFINES and DETERMINES your ALTITUDE in life and grace. And it’s being PRINCIPLED to take RESPONSIBILITY will change the cause of history from bad to good when there’s the will in Christ Jesus stead. Hence there is GRACIOUSNESSS and GRACEFULNESS in taking the path of RESPONSIBILITY rather than the path of REACTING. Taking RESPONSIBILITY energised one to BECOME in life and grace.

I wants you to learn from a Biblical man called JABEZ in the scriptures who took RESPONSIBILITY for his chance to BECOME in LIFE and GRACE, instead of been negative by REACTION or REACTING to his circumstances, which unfortunately many have done to their situations, leading to their detriments.

Learn also from the Biblical prodigal Son, who came to REALISE his IRRESPONSIBILITY and RESOLVED to be RESPONSIBLE by acting accordingly. For it’s not about what happened or had happened to you, but on how your RESPONDING or REACTING toward any circumstance, is what matters in all; and that’s how one will RISE to higher trajectory or FALL to the bottom or REMAIN in the same state of Circus.

You can either start taking RESPONSIBILITY to win your day break or Keep REACTING to stop yourself and lose your day break. Ponder thoughtfully and be bless accordingly. And I pray you God’s grace, wisdom and speed in everyway in His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus. Amen.

“And Jabez was more HONOURABLE than his brethren: and his mother CALLED his name Jabez, saying, Because I bare him with SORROW. 10 And Jabez CALLED on the God of Israel, saying, Oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast, and that thine hand might be with me, and that thou wouldest keep me from evil, that it may not grieve me! And God GRANTED him that which he requested” 1 Chronicles 4:9-10.

“And he said, A certain man had two sons: 12 and the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living. 13 And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living. 14 And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want. 15 And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine. 16 And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him. 17 AND WHEN HE CAME TO HIMSELF, he said, How many hired servants of my father’s have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger! 18 I WILL ARISE AND GO TO MY FATHER, and will say unto him, Father, I have SINNED against heaven, and before thee, 19 and am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants. . . “ Luke 15:11-31.

The Father’s Heart – LOVE AT ITS BEST: When You Feed The Hungry, Cloth The Naked And Visit The Sick!

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath FAITH, and have not WORKS? CAN FAITH SAVE HIM? 15 If a brother or sister be NAKED, and DESTITUTE of DAILY food, 16 and one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are NEEDFUL to the body; WHAT DOTH IT PROFIT? 17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone” James 2:14-17.

“When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then He will sit on the throne of His glory. 32 All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats. 33 And He will set the sheep on His right hand, but the goats on the left. 34 Then the King will say to those on His right hand, ‘Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: 35 for I was HUNGRY and you gave Me FOOD; I was THIRSTY and you gave Me DRINK; I was a STRANGER and you TOOK Me in; 36 I was NAKED and you CLOTHED Me; I was SICK and you VISITED Me; I was in PRISON and you CAME to Me.’ 37 “Then the righteous will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You HUNGRY and FEED You, or THIRSTY and give You DRINK? 38 When did we see You a STRANGER and take You in, or NAKED and CLOTHE You? 39 Or when did we see You SICK, or in PRISON, and COME to You?’ 40 And the King will answer and say to them, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.’ 41 “Then He will also say to those on the left hand, ‘Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels: 42 for I was hungry and you gave Me no food; I was thirsty and you gave Me no drink; 43 I was a stranger and you did not take Me in, NAKED and you did not CLOTHE Me, SICK and in PRISON and you did not VISIT Me.’ 44 “Then they also will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a STRANGER OR NAKED OR SICK OR IN PRISON, AND DID NOT MINISTER TO YOU?’ 45 Then He will answer them, saying, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.’ 46 And these will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life” Matthew 25:31-46.

“If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man’s religion is vain. 27 Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To VISIT THE FATHERLESS AND WIDOWS IN THEIR AFFLICTION, and to keep himself unspotted from the world” James 1:26-27.

THE HOW TO DEAL WITH DISPUTABLE MATTERS OF THE CHRISTIAN FAITH

THE HOW TO DEAL WITH DISPUTABLE MATTERS OF THE CHRISTIAN FAITH: MATTERS PERTAINING TO LIFE AND GODLINESS IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD!

Herein are my takes in SCRIPTURAL CONTEXT for your good and goodness on how to deal and be dealing with MATTERS that are in dispute and contentious in the Christian faith. These set out principles are SCRIPTURALLY healthy, in order to stay SCRIPTURALLY balance in the CONTEXT of disputes and contention if you must avoid errors and extremely offs, at all ends of the Christian faith.

And, I am certainly confident that when you follow the principle guidances, which I know are of the Holy Spirit, you can RESOLVE without been in extreme disputes and contention in the Christian FAITH. It has SAVED me severally from day zero of giving myself to do life and godly living in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. So, when dealing with matters that of any serious contention and disputes, these are the keynotes to approach such matter, in order to keep your being in Christ Jesus safe in the FAITH, without hurting self or another in Christ Jesus stead: Herein are the three basic PRINCIPLES to apply in all situations and circumstances of disputes and contentions:

** IN ESSENTIALS: DO PURSUE UNITY

** IN NON – ESSENTIALS: DO ALLOW LIBERTY

** IN ALL THINGS: DO ENSURE LOVE – CHARITABLE LOVE CAUSE

It’s a high time to always get APPROVED of God as JESUS CHRIST in His stead, and not on men’s APPLAUD that’s of sentiments and prejudice that leads to all manners of dissemination – Acts 2:22; 2 Timothy 2:15. You need to BUILD your FAITH based on God’s WORD, in order to get His APPROVAL in principle and not in sentiments and prejudice and then be free from hypocrisy. For Men’s APPLAUD are of sentiments and prejudice and it’s not based on the principle of God’s WORD in Christ Jesus stead. Men’s APPLAUD are, as seen in among religious zealots, dogmas, creeds, man-made make-belief, traditions of men by-laws and such like, as telegraph in many current situations in the world today. Don’t be entangled with any person in matters, where many thinks that GAINS is equal to GODLINESS and SPIRITUALITY with their disputation and prejudice. 1 Timothy 6:1-6; 1 Timothy 1:3-11.

Be WATCHFUL and VIGILANT before you are eluded by men in titles, status and gains. Be always, constantly and fervently LED of the Holy Spirit by the WORD of God in Christ Jesus stead, anything else is religion and man made make belief.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“RECEIVE one who is WEAK in the FAITH, but not to DISPUTES over DOUBTFUL things. 2 For one BELIEVES he may EAT all things, but he who is weak EATS only vegetables. 3 Let not him who EATS despise him who does not eat, and let not him who does not eat judge him who eats; for God has RECEIVED him. 4 Who are you to judge another’s servant? To his OWN MASTER he stands or falls. Indeed, he will be made to stand, for God is ABLE to make him stand. 5 One person ESTEEMS one day above another; another ESTEEMS every day alike. Let each be fully convinced in his own mind. 6 He who OBSERVES the day, OBSERVES it to the Lord; and he who DOES NOT OBSERVE the day, to the Lord he does not observe it. He who eats, eats to the Lord, for he gives God thanks; and he who does not eat, to the Lord he does not eat, and gives God thanks. 7 For NONE of us lives to himself, and no one dies to himself. 8 For if we live, we live to the Lord; and if we die, we die to the Lord. Therefore, whether we live or die, we are the Lord’s. 9 For to this end Christ died and rose and lived again, that He might be Lord of both the dead and the living. 10 But why do you JUDGE your brother? Or why do you show CONTEMPT for your brother? For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ. 11 For it is written: “As I live, says the Lord, Every knee shall bow to Me, And every tongue shall confess to God.” 12 So then each of us shall give account of himself to God. 13 Therefore let us not judge one another anymore, but rather resolve this, not to put a stumbling block or a cause to fall in our brother’s way.14 I know and am convinced by the Lord Jesus that there is nothing unclean of itself; but to him who considers anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean. 15 Yet if your brother is grieved because of your food, you are no longer walking in love. Do not destroy with your food the one for whom Christ died. 16 Therefore do not let your good be spoken of as evil; 17 for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. 18 For he who serves Christ in these things is acceptable to God and approved by men. 19 Therefore let us pursue the things which make for peace and the things by which one may EDIFY another. 20 Do not DESTROY the work of God for the SAKE of food. ALL THINGS indeed are PURE, but it is EVIL for the man who EATS with OFFENSE. 21 It is good NEITHER to eat meat nor drink wine nor do anything by which your brother STUMBLES or is OFFENDED or is MADE WEAK. 22 DO YOU HAVE FAITH? Have it to YOURSELF before God. HAPPY is he who DOES NOT CONDEMN HIMSELF in what he APPROVES. 23 But he who DOUBTS is CONDEMNED if he eats, because he does not eat from faith; for WHATEVER is not from FAITH is SIN” Romans 14:1-23.

“Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man APPROVED of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know” Acts 2:22.

“STUDY to shew thyself APPROVED unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth” 2 Timothy 2:15.

“For as many as are LED by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God” Romans 8:14.

“. . . 3 If any man TEACH otherwise, and CONSENT not to WHOLESOME words, even the WORDS of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the DOCTRINE which is ACCORDING to GODLINESS; 4 he is PROUD, knowing NOTHING, but DOTING about questions and STRIFES of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings, 5 perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, SUPPOSING that GAIN is GODLINESS: from such withdraw thyself. 6 But GODLINESS with CONTENTMENT is GREAT GAIN” 1 Timothy 6:1-6.

“As I besought thee to abide still at Ephesus, when I went into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge some that they teach no other doctrine, 4 NEITHER GIVE HEED TO FABLES AND ENDLESS GENEALOGIES, WHICH MINISTER QUESTIONS, RATHER THAN GODLY EDIFYING WHICH IS IN FAITH: SO DO. 5 Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned: 6 from WHICH SOME HAVING SWERVED HAVE TURNED ASIDE UNTO VAIN JANGLING; 7 desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm. 8 But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully; 9 knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, 10 for whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine; 11 according to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust” 1 Timothy 1:3-11.

You are the reason while the earth was made. Henceforth, you need to keep COMMUNICATING your FAITH effectually, with shoulder high, head up and on your high heels of grace in Christ. Isaiah 45:11-12; Psalms 8:4-8.

When God made all things, He said, they were GOOD but when He made man – male and female, He said, they were VERY GOOD, meaning, He’s very BEST, hence you are God’s BEST.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

“Thus saith the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker, Ask me of things to come concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands command ye me. 12 I HAVE MADE THE EARTH, AND CREATED MAN UPON IT: I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded” Isaiah 45:11-12.

“What is MAN, that thou art MINDFUL OF HIM? and the son of man, that thou visitest him? 5 For thou hast MADE HIM a little lower than the angels, and hast CROWNED him with glory and honour. 6 Thou MADEST him to have DOMINION OVER THE WORKS OF THY HANDS; thou hast PUT ALL THINGS UNDER HIS FEET . . .” Psalms 8:4-8.

“And God said, Let us make MAN in our image, after our likeness . . . 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 . . . 30 And God saw every thing that he had MADE, and, behold, it was VERY GOOD. . .” Genesis 1:26-31.

“He has MADE EVERYTHING BEAUTIFUL in its time. Also He has put ETERNITY in their hearts, except that no one can find out the work that God does from beginning to end” Ecclesiastes 11:3.
