God
obviously loves Man. This lets me think that since God does not do
anything for show or without reason in all his Wisdom then there is something
to Man.
Now
if God will create man, establish a relationship with him, go out of his way to
redeem him after disobedience and to this day is still inviting men, ‘come’,
then there is something in man, that man is yet to know.
And
maybe that explains satan’s envy that another has come to take his place. Maybe
that explains satan’s anger. Because if God was just loving something that was
empty perhaps satan would have nothing but mild anger or occasional disgust at
the fickle object on which so much affection would have been considered a waste
upon.
But
we know God does not waste. Not time, not resources, not power, not anything.
So if God Loves man, He must have poured something into Him that Man is yet to
find out. This thing in Man, satan must have, at least, a passing idea about or
He would not be so bent on making sure that man neither finds this ‘thing’ out
nor sits in communion with his Creator.
I
feel strongly that only in the presence of the Creator can man truly discover
who he is and it stands to reason that a creature should be defined by its
Creator.
You
will never know who you are, what God has deposited in you- what He has
invested in you, from the devil or any other place outside God. The devil might
definitely know nothing more about you than a passing glimpse no matter how
much or great he knows and He most definitely cannot bring to fruition or activate
that which God has put into you. So, would you stop wasting time serving
yourself, serving the world and serving satan? You will only be like a fish out
of water.
You
know that for all your seeming finery and power, you can never have one thing
with the devil- your purpose. He can give you assignments. But He will never
give you purpose.
He
does not have it to give and even if he did have it from God, he (satan) would not give it to you because it is in
discordance with the plans he (satan) has for you- plans of destruction and to
make sure you never make it back into union with your Creator, plans to make
sure you never discover who God made you to be talk less of fulfill purpose.
The
book of Jeremiah talks of the thoughts of peace and the expected end God has
towards Man. It emphasizes that His thoughts towards us are not of evil. Luke
10.10 goes on to contrast the reason Christ came against the intents and works
and of the devil.
If
you forget anything, don’t forget this- that you are the special Creation of a
Magnificent God. He is sold out on you- literally! Why else would He come to die
for you? Now all you have to do is be sold out on Him. Trust Him, invariably,
at some point, you’ll be glad you did.
