IN THE IMAGE OF GOD

SPECIAL GREETINGS TO YOU ALL. TODAYS MESSAGE WAS INSPIRED FROM THE BOOK OF GENESIS 1:27. THANK GOD FOR GOD, FOR JESUS, FOR HIS WORD WHICH HE MADE AVAILABLE TO US, THANK GOD FOR THE HOLY SPIRIT THAT GAVE ME GREAT REVELATION DURING THE STUDY OF THIS BIBLE PORTION.

SO BRIEFLY I WILL LIKE TO START WITH THESE SIMPLE QUESTIONS. HOW DO YOU SEE YOURSELF? HOW DO YOU SEE OTHER PEOPLE? DO YOU LOOK DOWN ON PEOPLE? DO YOU CALL PEOPLE NAMES(UGLY)?

SO GOD CREATED MAN IN HIS OWN IMAGE, IN THE IMAGE OF GOD CREATED HE HIM, MALE AND FEMALE CREATED HE THEM. GENESIS 1:27.

YOU SEE IT PAINS ME WHEN I SEE PEOPLE GOING FOR PLASTIC SURGERY TO CHANGE ONE THING OR THE OTHER ABOUT THEMSELVES FOR SOME STRANGE REASONS, IN THE PROCESS SOME HAVE LOST THEIR LIVES. FOR EXAMPLE GOING FOR BREAST ENLARGEMENT, BUTT ENLARGEMENT, DOING ALL SORT FOR WHAT? INFACT STATISTICS HAS SHOWN THAT IN 2011 15MILLION PEOPLE WORLDWIDE HAD PLASTIC SURGERY, ALL FOR THE SAKE OF BEAUTY? REMEMBER PROVERBS 31:30 SAYS FAVOUR IS DECEITFUL AND BEAUTY IS VAIN: BUT A WOMAN THAT FEARS THE LORD SHE SHALL BE PRAISED. SO PLEASE WE SHOULD LEARN TO ACCEPT OURSELVES FOR WHO WE TRULY ARE. LEARN TO LOVE YOURSELF. WHENEVER YOU LOOK AT YOURSELF IN THE MIRROR SAY TO YOURSELF I AM BEAUTIFUL AND WONDERFULLY MADE BY GOD. GOD CREATED US IN HIS OWN IMAGE. AND THE BIBLE SAYS EVERYTHING THAT GOD CREATED IS BEAUTIFUL AND GOOD. GENESIS 1:31.

THE SECOND ASPECT I WILL BE TALKING ABOUT IS WHEN WE CALL CERTAIN PEOPLE UGLY. MOST OF US ARE QUILTY OF THIS. INCLUDING ME... BUT THE BIBLE HAS MADE ME UNDERSTAND THAT NOBODY IS UGLY, BECAUSE IF WE ARE CREATED IN THE IMAGE OF GOD (GENESIS 1:27), NO ONE IS UGLY . EVERYTHING AND EVERYONE GOD CREATED IS GOOD AND BEAUTIFUL (GENESIS 1:31). SO FROM TODAY WHEN WE SEE ANYONE WE WILL START APPRECIATING ONE ANOTHER. BY SO DOING APPRECIATING GOD. BUT IF YOU CALL ANYONE UGLY, THEN YOU INDIRECTLY AFFRONTING GOD, THAT PERSON WAS CREATED BY GOD, IN GODS IMAGE AND LIKENESS(GENESIS 1:27). MAY THE HOLY SPIRIT CONTINUE TO WORK IN OUR LIVES AND MAKE US BETTER PEOPLE AS WE STUDY GODS WORD AND OBEY HIS WORD IN JESUS MIGHTY NAME.

REMEMBER NO HUMAN BEING IS UGLY. WE ARE BEAUTIFULLY AND WONDERFULLY MADE BY GOD. HAVE A BLESSED TIME.

FULLY INSPIRED BY JENNY I.
