God of Foresight

So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. – Genesis 1:27

Foresight is another attribute of God that we will reflect on today. Upon deciding to create humans in His image and likeness, He also knew that He must factor in the ability to reproduce after their kinds in them; hence, His creating them male and female.

There has been much debate about the origin of humans, where from and how we originated as well as how humans were able to procreate if it was only the family of Adam and Eve that were the first set of humans. This piece is not about to join that debate or attempt to throw any light on it. Our focus today is only on the depth of thinking of God which accounted for how He factored gender into the equation when He was creating humans and other mammals.

With foresight, God knew that even though He was making creatures that would need to reproduce themselves, that would have been impossible if He did not embed a reproductive system in them which would help them to procreate and fulfill His design for them to be fruitful, multiply, and fill the earth.

With foresight, God also knew that without this reproductive system in humans and other mammals, He would need to be creating them over and over again in order for them to increase; whereas, with a reproductive system, it would be easy for them to produce on their own with little or no assistance.

Foresight distinguishes the output of those that think before they start something from those who do not. It also plays a large role in determining the quality and sustainability of an entity. You just need to check out the universe and the living creatures that God had made from the beginning to see the important role foresight plays in quality and sustainability. Even with adverse climate, there have been more survivors among the creatures of God than those that went extinct.

If you also consider the physical outlook of the creatures, they keep looking finer and better as against worse with the turn of the ages. That is what working with the future in mind does for you. It helps to prepare for contingencies before they arise and to have plans in place to address them without adversely affecting the operations. Our God is a God of foresight.

How God Creates: Creating by Separation

Creating by Separation | God’s Principle of Dividing to Create

And God saw the light, that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness. God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. – Genesis 1:4-5

In continuation of our meditation on some of the principles that God applies in His creation, today we will dwell on the principle of separation. God creates things by separating one thing from another to form a brand-new creature.

From our reference scripture above, after God created the light, He also saw potential for another creature from the light He just made. He immediately set to work by dividing the light from darkness which was the pervasive entity around when He started His work. With these entities thus separated, God called the light day and the darkness He named night.

This was not a one-off principle that God used in the creative process, He also deployed the same method in creating other elements such as heaven, earth surface, and the body of ocean. Find excerpts below:

Thus God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament; and it was so. And God called the firmament Heaven... Genesis 1:7-8

Then God said, “Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear”; and it was so. And God called the dry land Earth, and the gathering together of the waters He called Seas… (Genesis 1:9-10)

With this, God demonstrated to us that by separating certain entities, a new, unique, standalone creation can emerge. It is important to clarify that this principle will not work for every form of creation as God Himself also proved by not creating everything that way. He only did so with the elements that were amenable to that form. But who says you cannot try it yourself and see which works and which will not?

Creating by Declaration

Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light. – Genesis 1:3

We are still exploring the personality and attributes of God. For the next few days, we will be meditating on how He goes about making His creatures. The reason we are focusing on this aspect of God is that it may help us to create things ourselves when we are ready to step up to our God-given authority or live up to His divine potential in us.

The first method of creation that God used which we shall dwell on today is declaration. God creates by declaration. As we can see in Genesis 1, everything that God created was first expressed through His mouth before they were formed. Below are excerpts:

Then God said, “Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.” (Genesis 1:6)

Then God said, “Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear;” (Genesis 1: 9)

Then God said, “Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb that yields seed, and the fruit tree that yields fruit according to its kind, whose seed is in itself, on the earth” (Genesis 1:11)

Then God said, “Let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs and seasons, and for days and years; (Genesis 1:14)

Then God said, “Let the waters abound with an abundance of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the face of the firmament of the heavens.” (Genesis 1:20)

Then God said, “Let the earth bring forth the living creature according to its kind: cattle and creeping thing and beast of the earth, each according to its kind”; (Genesis 1:24)

Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; (Genesis 1: 26)

These underscore the fact that God does not create anything unless He has first declared it through His mouth. This is also in agreement with a New Testament verdict that God created everything through the word (John 1:1-3). Moreso, this also holds true in line with the common belief that our words have power, be it creative or destructive one, depending on what kinds of things we say.

We humans are created to be, think, act and operate like God. The issue is that most people do not get to experience this divine stature in a lifetime, while some experience it in moments which are far between, whereas only a very few individuals get to live up to a full measure of their divine nature.

We can use our words to (re)create our world and circumstances as we desire them to be. This is called affirmation in contemporary terms. Words have power and we should exercise our power of agency to decree things that we want to into being in our life, home, family, business, career, community, nation and the world at large.

Now some who try this may get an instant result, while some may not. That is one of the mysteries of divinity. Only God knows why this is so. But for those who try and do not get an immediate result, it is important not to get discouraged and stop. If you persist and do it with sincerity, with time, your realities will start to align with your declaration.

Jesus Loves You!
