The love of God for mankind is unquantifiable. God has demonstrated His love for mankind in many dimensions.
In the begining of creation God expressed His love for mankind by creating all things that is satisfactory for man to live on.
God imagined that man will need all things such as; land, water, day and night, animals, tree, plants, sea and its creatures, in order to survive and therefore spoke it into existence.
What a perfect way to demonstrate His love and express how much he is mindful of us (Genesis 1:3-25).
Before creating man in bodily form, he made man to have dominion over everything he created (Genesis 1:26).
It is very pleasing to know that when man was created, sin had no power over the flesh of man.
Man was created in a wonderful dimension where the spirit of man and his soul were divinely connected to God. Imagine how it would have been if this dimension was not broken by the power of sin? Things would have been so orderly, peaceful, joyful and much more.
One thing that is vital in this dimension of creation, is our fellowship and worship with God. A life where pains, sorrow, sickness, disease, depression and death does not exist, rather a life full of abundance.
In this dimension, man is not concerned about the challenges of this present life, but focused on worshipping and fellowshipping with God constantly.
From scriptures, God’s ultimate plan was for mankind to worship him always (Exodus 20:3). God’s agenda was for His will to be done on earth as it is in heaven.
We can see this when Jesus taught the disciples the Lords prayer: “Let your will be done on earth as it is in heaven” (Matthew 6:10). Jesus revealed some insight about the mind of God in the Lords prayer, so it would be beneficial for you to read and meditate on the Lord’s prayer for enlightenment (Matthew 6: 9-13).
*What is the will of God on earth as it is in heaven as Jesus reveals in the Lords prayer?*
Let us look at the revelation John had in the Island of Patmos of what will happen in the end times.
John had a revelation of heaven and saw God seated on the throne with twenty four elders around the throne. Infront of the throne, he saw seven spirits of God and in the centre were four living creatures (Revelation 4:3-6).
The scripture confirms that everything that sorrounds the throne constantly worships God, day and night saying ‘Holy Holy Holy is the Lord God Almighty’ (Revelation 4:8).
Going back to the beginning of creation, man was also created to constantly fellowship and worship God just as it is in heaven, as revelaed in John’s revelation.
At the beginning, God’s will for man was for man to worship Him day and night however sin found expression and disconnected man’s fellowship with God.
Our God is a jealous God and therefore want us to worship him only in spirit and in truth.
Glory be to God, who restored man (us) back to the dimension of glory by sending Jesus to give us the power to subdue sin, because of his great love.
Therefore, man’s connection to God has been reinstated to fellowship and worship him only, as it was at the beginning of creation.
Brethren, I have good news. What the enemy meant for evil, God has turned it around for our good in Christ Jesus (Genesis 50:20), for us who believe wholeheartedly in God’s Word without any doubt.
Remeber, mans purpose on earth is to fullfill the will of God which is to worship Him in spirit and truth. God has given man dominion over everything he has created on earth and has made him fruitful and abundant as he pursues the will of God (Matthew 6:33).
Stay blessed & encouraged!
