Functionality Maximized

Ecclesiastes 10:7 - I have seen servants on horses, While princes walk on the ground like servants.

Animated For Purpose and Functionality Revealed were posts that gave us a revelation into the fact that based on our design, we discover who we are through our relationship with God and we discover how to function in all our roles by experiencing how God (trinity) functions as a counselor, bridegroom, friend, teacher, master, creator e.t.c 

This has brought us to the realization that in order to maximize our capabilities and potential, we need to function in our relationship with God. What is this capability? Revelations 1:5-7 explains: 


Revelation 1:5-7

⁵ and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler over the kings of the earth. To Him who loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood, ⁶ and has made us kings and priests to His God and Father, to Him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.

On this earth, we are kings and priests. A king has dominion, A king has power, the words that come out of a King's mouth become law and cannot be overturned. The one who has dominion over the Universe has made us Kings and Priests on earth. 

Look around you, we all need to pause and think about this. Is there anything that is resisting your 'Kingship'? Then you need to Maximize your functionality. Are your relationships, finances, job circumstances, health circumstances obeying your pronouncements and decrees? You need to maximize your functionality. Most of all, is your life, and are your actions enforcing and propagating the dominion of the King of Kings in your domain which he has given you? You need to maximize your functionality. We all do. 

Do you feel like a King?

If you have read Try to Imagine it, then you can picture some of the wonderful things that would be happening if all God's Children would Maximize their functionality as kings in their domains.

Genesis 1:26-27 gives us a clear picture of the level in which we were designed to operate:

Genesis 1:26-27

New King James Version (NKJV)

²⁶ Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; 1 . let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, 
2. over the birds of the air, and over the cattle,
3. over all^[a] the earth 
4. and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”

²⁷ So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.

Inherent in our design was all this ability. Creation was not meant to order itself, man was meant to. God put things in order when he made the earth but inherent in its design, he made it such that creation had to obey man and in obeying man it would be obeying God. No wonder! no wonder Romans 8:19-22 tells of how creation groans, waiting earnestly for the sons of God to come and take charge.

We were put on earth to Maximize the earth's functionality and if we do it with God's leading and guidance then we would know enough about how to maximize it without awful side effects and methods. Many people through out history have discovered, invented and developed things because they maximized their functionality as scientists and researchers by asking God for guidance. Have you ever wondered who many of the great scientists we have ever heard of were children of God (Isaac Newton, Micheal Faraday, Blaise Paschal, Galileo Galilei)?


God have us the power to take charge of earth, to take the raw materials and make things out of it, use the plants and animals for food, clothing and shelter, use the sun and water for light and power e.t.c Inherent in the functionality of 'the earth' when God gave it to man was electricity, medicine, Computers, ipads, cards AND WHO KNOWS WHAT ELSE! In what ways would the earth be maximized if all God's children would maximize their functionality?

In order for Genesis 1:26 and Revelations 1:6 to become a reality in our lives we need to go back to the basics, back to our design to see how this 'God-Us' relationship was meant to work and how it tanslates to Animation and Functionality. Halleluyah! 

What I'm about to share with you transformed my life, and is still transforming it daily.

'MAN WAS  NOT CREATED TO BE SELF-SUFFICIENT'

Only God is self-sufficient and the power that sustains the whole universe flows out of him. The original design for this flow of power is:

GOD->MAN->EARTH

When any part of this link is broken, ability is lost, wisdom is missing, guidance is disconnected, everything is left to chance and loss begins to take place. No matter how fast or strong you are, your success is based on chance unless this link is replaced, unless the connection is repaired. No wonder the bible calls separation from God death.

We are Kings and priests and we are living like mere men, creation is supposed to be in our care, its supposed to serve us, but we serve it, we are supposed to tell it what to do but it tells us what to do (rain, storms, hurricanes, earthquakes). This is not the life we were meant to live! No way!

When Jesus came to restore our connection to God, he did it so that we can have access to that part of our design that gives us dominion. He came so that we can re-link ourselves to our source of animation and dominion. The life he lived on earth was to show us exactly who we are meant to be.

Mark 16:18

New King James Version (NKJV)

¹⁸ they^[a] will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”

We are KINGS, we cannot keep walking on foot instead of riding on the donkey. I pray that the Holyspirit makes these words explode in your heart so that you know who you are. You are more than conquerors. You are a Child of the Most High God and you have no enablement of your own. Outside God we are truly dead. When ever we do something 'great' we need to imagine how much greater it would have been if we were operating at our MAXIMUM.

Halleluyah!

In Genesis 2:19 God was right there but ADAM was the one who named the animals, God wants to enable you to do so so so so so MUCH. Are you ready to rekindle that relationship with him? Maximum cannot be achieved outside God.

PRAYER FOR TODAY

Lord God Almighty. Ancient of Days you are perfect in all your ways. What can I say but thank you. Who is man that you are mindful of him? We are nothing without you? Help me take my place, enable me to bring Glory to you by fulfilling my calling. Down at your feet is the most high place because my potential is maximized by your power. I am nothing without you.

Glory to your name Jesus. Halleluyah!

Genesis 2:19
¹⁹ Out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the air, and brought them to Adam to see what he would call them. And whatever Adam called each living creature, that was its name. ²⁰ So Adam gave names to all cattle, to the birds of the air, and to every beast of the field. But for Adam there was not found a helper comparable to him.
