WHAT IS MAN?
“Then God said, “Let Us (Father, Son, Holy Spirit) make man in Our image, according to Our likeness [not physical, but a spiritual personality and moral likeness]; and let them have complete authority over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, the cattle, and over the entire earth, and over everything that creeps and crawls on the earth.”
Genesis 1:26
Main Text: Main Text: Psalm 8:4-5
It’s important to note that man came from within God, man is a hybrid creature a part of man possesses all the attribute of man while another part of man possesses the attributes of God. You may wonder isn’t it heresy to say man is like God? No, it isn’t, rather it is foolhardy to separate man from God, the very essence of man lies within the godhead. Colossians 2:9-10 “For in Him dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily. And ye are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power.”
When God created man, He wanted to make from dung (clay) the prime of His creations, He wanted to confound all other creatures and spirits, no other animal is made from clay, yet man who is made from clay is the only one that possesses all the knowledge, attribute and Spirit of God, man is the prime of God’s creation.
It’s modest to say man is a Spirit being, who has a soul and lives in a physical body, this is true, but another truth is man is a god on the earth. This was the original intent and purpose why God created man, to fellowship with Him and rule and reign on the earth. John 10:34 “Jesus answered them, "Is it not written in your Law: 'I said you are gods'?” Psalms 82:6 “I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.” Own your identify in Christ! He has made you a shining star! Amen.
Confession:
I am blessed of the Lord, I am a star and a king on the earth, I walk in the revelation of who I am in Christ Jesus. Amen.
