creativity part 1

For the fullness of god dwells in Christ bodily, and we are complete in him

The spirit of God, that which engineered our true design is what we have as our indentity.That spirit is creative. The creativity of God was transferred to man to have dominion over the works of creation.

Gen 1:26Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth."

When God made man, he influenced him with his own image and likeness. Man was endowed with a creative capacity to name the creation and to subdue and to exercise dominion over the works of creation.

This integrity and full capacity was marred by the fall. The fal was so great that a discordance grew between man and creation.

Rom 8:20 For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of him who subjected it, in hope 21 that the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to corruption and obtain the freedom of the glory of the children of God.

The first Adam subjected the whole creation to futility in hope that the second/last Adam Christ will set it free from bondage.

The spirit of creativity which engineered creation was breathed into man and man became a living soul. Let’s have a glance here. God said let there be light once and thousands of years later light is still shining on earth. The same spirit(for God is spirit ) said let there be creatures walking, crawling and flying all over and thousands of years later creatures are still reproducing and filling the earth.

The same spirit now dwells in us in Christ Jesus. We know that Adam screw it up when he fell in the garden and relinquished and fell short of the glory of God, however in Christ we are restored to that glory which was from the beginning.

Its unfair to view yourself from the vantage point of the world. Whereas we are in a world full of limitations and boundaries, the spirit of God in us ushers us to the realm of freedom and creativity, inside of us is a deep conviction that we are above the normal. When hurdles present themselves , the creativity of God persuades us that there is a way where there is no way. How come we can hope against hope? How come we can face the future with enthusiasm and an ever present readiness even when trouble and death screams at us? How comes we have a hope that enters within the veil(heb 6:18) into the throne room of God ?

I tell you the spirit of God is engineering creativity in you to see above the normal, your life , a life full of creativity and fullness is hidden with Christ in God.
