MEET YOUR CREATOR- Open Heavens devotional by Pastor E.A Adeboye

MEET YOUR CREATOR Saturday, January 30, 2010

MEMORIZE: “And he is before all things, and by him all things consist ” (Col 1:17) READ: Colossians 1:14-18 The Lord Jesus Christ is linked with divinity, man, animals and even plants by His names and titles. Generally, He is linked with the whole of creation as the Creator. Ephesians 3:9 says, “And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ”. John 1:3 confirmed this when it said: “All things were made by him; and without him was not anything made that was made”. After the Godhead had decided to make the world, God the Son was the One who swung into action to implement this. Everything in Heaven and on earth was created by Jesus Christ with the consent of the Father and the Holy Spirit. Nothing exists outside of what He created. This means that every human being has a link with Jesus Christ as Creator. It is very sad when people rebel against Jesus. How pained He is when He is rejected by those He created with His bare hands! By virtue of creation, every one owes Jesus Christ their origin. We all came from Him and some day, we will all return to Him. The implication of this is that He is interested in the affairs of all His creatures particularly you and would want to help out. Do you relate with Him as your Creator? One thing you can be assured of is that the Creator has a purpose for creating you. The reason many go through life without a purpose or without fulfilling their destinies is because they decided to part ways with their Creator. There is no way the original, fantastic blueprint for your life can be found except you return to your Creator. Your destiny is in Christ. That you have become rich, popular or presently occupy a position of authority does not mean that you are taking the right path to your destiny. Many have gone into activities and have made names for themselves without discovering God’s purpose for their lives. Do you know how shocked such people would be on the other side of eternity to discover what they were meant to be, which they never achieved? Jesus your Creator is calling you to Himself today. He is ready to fix your disorganized life if only you will let Him. ACTION POINT: There is no human ancestory without Jesus Christ. If you think you were not created by Him, go and find your source.
