Apostle Joshua Selman: Three Reasons Why God created man
God’s purpose for man, I will give you three reasons why did God create man.
Dr Myles Munroe again would teach us that when the purpose of a thing is not known, he says abuse is inevitable.
Many people abuse and misuse themselves and their destinies because they do not know that they were created for a purpose, they were created for a reason.
- Relationship.
God desired a family of sons and daughters to share love, fellowship and communion.
Genesis 3:8 Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the LORD God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from the LORD God among the trees of the garden.
The Bible tells us that God came to see that man in the cool of the day, he came to visit the man he had created. If he were not interested in creation(he had given man all the instructions), he wouldn’t have come to check up on man but God came walking in the cool of the day, to check up on man and found out that man had chosen his own way.
John 20:17 Jesus said, “Do not hold on to me, for I have not yet returned to the Father. Go instead to my brothers and tell them, ‘I am returning to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.'”
He says, He’s my father and He’s also your father, He’s my God and He’s also your God.
Ephesians 3:14-15 For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom his whole family in heaven and on earth derives its name.
So, His fatherhood and His desire for a family is beyond heaven and earth.
- To manifest His Glory upon the earth.
To manifest His virtue, to manifest His nature, to manifest His character.
We call it the fruit of the spirit and like I’ve taught you in this place, everybody is looking for a human being who has a rich capture of the fruit of the spirit. We may call it discipline, we may call it a gentleman who is well behaved, we may call it a gentleman who is respectful but what you are actually looking for, is an individual with a rich manifestation of the spirit.
- Dominion.
Hebrews 2:6-9 But there is a place where someone has testified: “What is man that you are mindful of him, the son of man that you care for him? You made him a little lower than the angels; you crowned him with glory and honor and put everything under his feet.” In putting everything under him, God left nothing that is not subject to him. Yet at present we do not see everything subject to him. But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, now crowned with glory and honor because he suffered death, so that by the grace of God he might taste death for everyone.
So, we do not see as at when he was writing that, that’s not your reality but our comfort is that we see Jesus who is our pattern man.
Revelation 5:10 You have made them to be a kingdom and priests to serve our God, and they will reign on the earth.”
We have been made unto our God, that means dominion means demonstrating His wisdom and His power.
Ephesians 3:10 His intent was that now, through the church, the manifold wisdom of God should be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly realms
Next time you say “why did God put me here in the earth”… Listen, it doesn’t matter how you arrived here, it doesn’t matter the sad story that led you here, sadly whether you came as a product of wedlock or you came as whatever it is, the background story that made for your arrival here may not be pleasant, may not even be what you are proud of but let me comfort you, for as long as you found expression here upon the earth, I want you to know that you were created for a purpose and don’t chippen that statement, you were created for a purpose.
It means, there is something God has placed that no one else should be able to do and if somebody else does that assignment is because you willingly rejected it and then God will have to give your Bishop to another.
