GOD'S CREATIVE PROCESS 3
Genesis 1:26-29; Col 1:26-29
From the last two articles on this series, I have noted that God is the Creator of the heavens and the earth and He created man to continue the works of creation with Him on the earth. We were created to become co-creators with God on the earth and God is always delighted when He sees us taking our rightful place as such. I furthermore emphasized that to be a co-creator with God is to be in an active humble partnership with Him where He leads as the Master and we follow Him solely. In this partnership, God's word and will is both the beginning and the final.
We introduced the slight adjustment in the creative process when God's man on the earth was brought into the creative process. Instead of the normal Conception and Confession into manifestation scheme, He decided to create man in His image and after His likeness. This is exactly what qualified man to be a partner with God on the earth.
To be created in God's image speaks of God creating us with His nature and character. It means that the very essence of His person was replicated within us and that the life of His Spirit was infuses into us so that we can be who He wants us to be and to be able to have fellowship with Him. However, to be created after His likeness is to be able to function in line with His Modus Operandi. It implies that we have the capacity to produce results in the order of God if we follow His mode of operations for productivity on the earth.
To be created in His image speaks of His person, nature and character. To be creates after His likeness speaks of His working principles and competence. To be created in His image and after His likeness simply means we have been created and wired to be who God wants us to be and to do what He demands from us so that we can have what He has promised to us on the earth.
Due to this excellent design and make up of man and God's great Love to man, He decided that to include man in my continued creative process on the earth, instead of confessing and declaring my Words into direct manifestation on the earth, I will look for My man (available for Me, with a perfect and stable heart) on the earth and plant the seed of My thoughts and words into Him (2Chronicles 16:9). The new process now involves God communicating what He has conceived in His heart (His agenda, plans, will and intents) to the heart of a man. It is now the responsibility of such a man to ensure the manifestation of God's desires on the earth by engaging the powers within us as one created after God's likeness.
Being created in His image empowers you for fellowship with God. It is in the place of fellowship that God releases the seed of the kingdom into your heart. Being creates after His likeness empowers you to be able to work put on the earth what God has worked into and within you by the implanted seed of His word by His Spirit.
Simply put, the original creative pattern: Conception and Confession now becomes CONCEPTION and COMMUNICATION OF THE CONCEIVED THOUGHTS INTO THE HEART OF MAN.
