Genesis 1:1-2
The beginning of everything is unattractive. The beginnings can be very confusing, disappointing and frustrating. But nothing begins without a vision of what it must be.
In the scripture, God sets up the foundations of the heavens and the earth. From thence, all attention was focused on the earth. Looks as if the heavens was created perfect but the earth needed corrections.
The state of the earth was described as:
- WITHOUT FORM
This means FORMLESS or SHAPELESS. When you set out to create something, whether a business or a relationship, you are likely to encounter similar challenge in the beginning.
This is the stage where many give up. They lose sight of the vision they started with. Always keep in mind the vision of what you set out to create, persevere and commit to building it. God did not give up at the sight of a FORMLESS, SHAPELESS earth; you shouldn’t give up too!
- VOID
This means EMPTINESS. Nothing fills up the earth except:
- Water
- Darkness
- The Spirit of God
This scene was not only messy but breeds HOPELESSNESS. But God did not give up on His vision of creating and populating the earth as we have it today.
Darkness conceals and obstructed the vision. In the course of building a vision, there are times where you may miss out on the plan. It’s normal to get confused at a point when certain unforeseen circumstance crosses path with you. Keep your focus.
In the midst of all these sight, the Spirit of God was seen HOVERING over the face of the waters.
God’s Spirit is still with us despite the FORMLESS and EMPTINESS we feel at any time. Notice the Spirit was not mixed up with the deep or settling on the face of the water but HOVERING over it. In whatever mess we face in life, the Spirit is still around us. He’s not left us alone to our fate!
But how did God correct the VOID and FORMLESS earth? The Bible says, God spoke! The Creator spoke to address the situation.
Whenever you keep your mouth shut, the age long adage that “silence means concern” is applicable! Therefore, the best time to shout ORDER, is in the midst of the DISORDER! God found it necessary to speak in the face of DISORDER! It’s so practical. Look at your Parliament. The Speaker only have cause to shout for ORDER when Parliament is out of order.
Be the Prophet and Speaker of your life to shout ORDER to the marital, financial disorders in your life! In the end, from a beginning described as VOID and EMPTY, God remarks the same as being VERY GOOD! (Gen. 1:31)
In a SHAPELESS and EMPTY situation, speak to shape up, and to fill up the void!
Today, you’ve learned that the best time to shout ORDER is in the midst of the DISORDERLINESS!
