And
God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness… (Genesis 1:26).
Genesis 1:27 says,
"So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him;
male and female created he them." As profound as this truth is, there’s
more. Observe our theme verse again. God said, "…Let us make man in our
image, after our likeness…." Made "after His likeness" means we
were made to function like Him. Thus, not only do we look like Him, we can emulate
Him; we can function like Him. The question then is, "How does He
function?"
Genesis 1:1 gives us an
idea; it says, "In the beginning God created the heaven and the
earth." This signifies that God is a creator, because the first thing we
read about Him in the book of Genesis is that "He created": that
indicates one of His functions. So, like Him, you’re a creator. Secondly,
notice what He created: the heavens and the earth. Heaven is an environment, so
also is the earth. They’re both environments that function in a certain way,
based on design. This means that, with faith-filled proclamations, you can
create your own environment of victory, prosperity and health.
Genesis 1:2 tells us
what God did when the earth was without form, and in total chaos: with the
creative word, He restored order, beauty and form to the earth; whatever He
said came to be. Like Him, you can utter words—creative words of faith—and have
what you say (Mark 11:23).
Prayer
Dear Father, I thank you
for the ability to effect changes in the circumstances of my life by speaking
forth your Word. Being a creator just like you are, I declare positive and
tremendous changes in my finances, health, family, education, ministry, and business,
today, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
