THE CREATION (CONTINUED)
Bible Passage: Genesis 1:24 - 2 : 8
On the sixth day, God commanded the earth to produce all kinds of animals; domestic ones like dogs and cats which live with us and wild ones which live in the jungle. After making all the living things: plants, fishes, birds and animals, God decided to make human beings in His own image. He formed him out of soil and breathed the breath of life into him. Adam was the first man created and he was given power over all the other things to control and to eat. He also had a beautiful Garden called Eden to live in.
By the seventh day God had finished creating everything and stopped working. He blessed the day and set it apart as a special day. That is why Sunday is still set apart by Christians as a special day of rest and for worshipping God. Christians should not do on Sunday things they should have done during the week (Monday to Saturday). You should not for instance leave your home-work undone till Sunday and play or go to parties on Saturday. You should find time to do it on Saturday.
There are some people who have to work on Sunday but they should also be prayerful as they are working. Such people include doctors, nurses, workers at the Power Holding Corporation of Nigeria (PHCN) former National Electric Power Authority (NEPA) water works, the Police, even our pastors and several others who give essential services which we need on Sunday.
TODAY'S ACTION
In your prayer, thank God for creating you in His own image. Pray for those who have to work on Sunday to serve you. Remember that all human beings are made in the image of God, so decide today to stop making fun of those that are not exactly the same size or shape or beauty as yourself. To God everyone is beautiful, except those who have joined Satan and are doing things which do not please God.
