Wisdom For The Day Devotional 9 June 2024 By Bishop Mike Okonkwo – You Are Created To Represent God
TOPIC: You Are Created To Represent God (TREM Devotional 9 June 2024)
“So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.” Genesis 1:27 (KJV)
MESSAGE:
The reason why man was made in the image of God is for man to represent God here on earth. We are not here to represent the devil. We have no business giving room to the devil to function on earth. The devil has no body and is always looking for the human body to operate on Earth. Your body will not be the home of the devil. We will never be the home of the devil. I forbid the devil from speaking through you. He is forbidden from functioning through your life. God has packaged you to be His Oracle.
You have the authority to rebuke the devil and his cohorts. Everything the devil has packaged against you must give way. That sickness must leave your body. Whenever God wants to do anything on earth, he will send a man. When he wanted the earth filled, he made Adam. Adam was a man and not an angel. When Adam, the first man, fell, God sent other men with specific assignments. These men were the oracles of God in their time. Today, the believer is the one called to represent God on earth.
Even angels are not authorised to function here on earth without man. The Book of Hebrew tells us that angels are “…ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation.” Hebrews 1:14 (KJV). Angels are our servants, and they are sent to minister to us. They cannot function without us. The angels of God excel in strength, but they can only do the commandments of God, which came through our voice. You must give them the Word through your voice before they can do anything here on earth. You give your voice when you speak in line with God’s Word. As soon as you speak the Word, they just go on assignment for you because that’s what they are called to do.
