TOPIC: HEAVENS
TEXT: GENESIS 1: 1-5
☆ There is Someone called God.
Every wise person knows that God exists.
Only fools can say there is no God. Psalm 14:1
It doesn't pay to be a fool. Proverbs 3: 35
The first time He would introduce Himself, He introduced Himself as the All-Sufficient God.
Genesis 17:1, Luke 1: 37
In the beginning, He created 2 principal things:
1. Heaven
2. Earth
☆ Heaven was so wonderful that He decided to use it as His throne.
• He used the earth as His footstool. Isaiah 66:1
• The second thing He created was problematic, but He controls all the problems on this earth by putting it under His feet.
☆ It doesn't matter how many problems you have, they are under the feet of God.
• God sits in heaven and controls the earth by speaking.
He speaks, and the moment He speaks, it is done. Psalm 33: 8-9
• He controls the earth by sitting in heaven and speaking a word. Genesis 1:3
• Everything on earth was a mess, but once He said, 'let there be light', everything changed.
'Let there be light' means:
Darkness go; darkness give way
° This is good news for those in darkness, those who are blind. Mark 10: 46-52
° 'Darkness go' also means: stagnation comes to an end. John 5: 2-9
° 'Darkness go' also means: demons, get out!
Mark 5: 2-20
• He sits in heaven and controls the earth by speaking; no struggling.
He simply speaks, and things will happen.
° 'Darkness go' also means: Sorrow, go; Joy begin. Psalm 30:5, Mark 5: 35-43
° When He says 'darkness go', it means:
No more sorrow
• When God created the earth, it was confused, in disorder, and empty until God spoke.
Another word for 'confusion' is a storm.
'Let there be light' can mean 3 things:
1. A command from God
2. An advice from God (an invitation). Revelation 3: 20
3. A cry for help.
Bartimaeus cried, let there be light, and God answered him.
