The Inspiration of God

UV 3655/10000 The Inspiration of God Then the Lord God formed the man of dust from the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a LIVING creature. Genesis 2 v 7 ( version ESL) The Lord God formed the man from the dust of the earth and then transformed the inanimate form of man into the animate or living human. The word “human” itself means “from the earth” or ‘humus’, lending credence to the belief we are formed from the earth. All other creatures and all of creation were spoken by the Lord God into existence with their varied colours, shapes and nature. We, humans, alone are formed and shaped by the hands of the Lord God and transformed by His breath of inspiration. Hence, we cannot live or succeed without God. We cannot live without the inspiration of the Lord God. The Word of God is the bread that sustains us but the inspiration of God is our continual source of life. We would not know this without the word of God for no man can convincingly state or explain how we came into being with all our complexities. We are dependent on the Lord for every breath. This is the reason that Jesus also breathed on the dead in some cases of miraculous resurrection. He also breathed on the disciples so that they receive the Spirit of God – the Holy Spirit. When man first sinned, the Spirit of God left the body of man and death through sin began to reign and rule in man’s life. He is always under the shadow of death as the Covid 19 viral shroud keeps reminding every human today. We are always 120 seconds away from death for the cessation of physical life happens if our bodies are cut off from oxygen for just two to three minutes The moment we believe and receive the word about Jesus we receive again the life giving breath of God- the Holy Spirit. We are once more sealed with the Holy Spirit- the seal of approval and ownership of God. Having believed and known this – that the breath of God sustains us, we should always be dependent on the inspiration of the Lord God, the inspiration of Jesus, the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. Everything we choose, everything we speak, do and aim for is to be inspired by the Lord God. He is the source of our light, life, energy, purpose, power, guidance, protection, provision and promotion. Our inner being needs to constantly and continually breathe the Lord God. When we live in this manner, we receive both power and are able to fulfil the purpose of our creation for the Lord God did not create us in His image and further redeem us without purpose.
