Welcome back to The Road2Wholeness Blog. You've landed in our Life of LAB Quick Lab Blog Series. It's Day 6, and we return to our theme "The Deep".
We begin with the scripture Genesis 1:24... "And God said, 'Let the land produce living creatures according to their kinds: the livestock, the creatures that move along the ground, and the wild animals, each according to its kind.'"
According to its kind. This is God's salute to self-expression. In a age of free liberties, "self-expression" usually sounds like code for "take the baton and run with it". But in God's light of creation, there was always order. Let's look at a few scriptures that show how much thought God gave to "kind" or "self-expression".
In Genesis 1:11, God says.. "Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds." I repeat "On the land that bear fruit with seed in it."
In Genesis 1:29 and 30, God instructs man on what foods will be his and what food was set aside for the birds in the sky, and all the creatures that move along the ground.
In Genesis 2:19-20, it reads "Now the Lord God had formed out of the ground all the wild animals and all the birds in the sky. He brought them to the man to see what he would name them; and whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name. So the man gave names to all the livestock, the birds in the sky and all the wild animals. But for Adam no suitable helper was found.
Did you know that Adam's exercise to name all the living creatures was actually God's way of helping him to see that none was like him?
Let's also look at Genesis 4:20-22. In these verses, it continues with the family tree record as it branched out from Cain. It reads, Adah gave birth to Jabal; he was the father of those who live in tents and raise livestock. His brother's name was Jubal; he was the father of all who play stringed instruments and pipes. Zillah also had a son, Tubal-Cain, who forged all kinds of tools out of bronze and iron..."
So we see that God understands personality, function, and pays great attention to kind. Now let's back up.
In Genesis 1:26... God says, "Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground."
As with many words the word rule has multiple functions, but let's consider the word rule with the idea of "kind" in mind. Here God is saying, that He will create a specie that is above the previous kinds; having a greater capacity to recognize God's order and even create as God creates.
He then begins to train the man He created; putting him in the garden he planted for the reasons we discussed in the previous blog. Obviously, God's plan was interrupted by Adam's disobedience. Here is where the story picks up.. Now here is mankind trying to forge it's way ahead with God's instruction to be fruitful and increase upon the earth, but cut off from God. Next God sends commandments; all of the things He had hoped on teaching the man that he may be a good ruler but it comes like a prison and man rejects His laws. But it's too late... Man was already created in God's image and likeness and he is set on rulership.
Question: How can the one purposed to rule do so adequately when he rejects the knowledge of God and has begun to repurpose mankind?
On the sixth day God completed His creation process with the creation of mankind. There was no other time to create mankind but at the end lest there would be nothing for him to rule over. Likewise, as we begin to think about what we might create and move forward visualizing and calling forth the things we bring to mind, remember to take your position in line.
Can you agree that there's no way to know who you are to be until there has been something created to demand who you will need to be? Using the insights that we have gathered from the book of Genesis and God's pattern of creation; we put down our "dress up kit"; we get in the LAB; we Manifest, Create, Call Forth, and then Walk it Out.
Live. Allow. Become.
Thank you for joining our 7 Day Quick LAB Series "Life of LAB". Tomorrow we close out with a summary jammed pack with the revelations that did not make it into the 6 days of Life of LAB "The Deep". Tell a friend or loved one about our 7 day series and come on back for the finale.
Remember to go within that you may never go without. The God within you awaits you. Until our paths collide again, I wish you... Peace, Love, Life, and Complete Wholeness in Christ.
