THE PLETHORA OF GOD'S INGENUITY

From time immemorial even until eternity, God's Wisdom remaineth Ad Infinitum. Its potency has been demonstrated in divergent ways which happen to be coherent with His existential truth. The uniqueness of this infinite wisdom of God has been manifested through the creation of the universe. From the intricate design of the human body to the vast expanse of the Cosmopolitan physic of the various constellations, the ingenuity of God is invariably evident in every visible and invisible phenomena. Genesis 1:1-2 states that, "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters." Even at the very beginning, it is perceived that the diverse and creative nature of God, brought forth light, water, land, and all the creatures inhabiting the earth.


One of the hallmarks of God's ingenuity is the diversity of life. In Psalm 104:24, it is written, "O Lord, how manifold are thy works! In wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches." He has carefully formed even the caterpillar and the largest elephant. Each creature having a unique purpose and contribution to the tapestry of life impacts the glorification of God on earth. Job 12:7-10 reminds us of this: "But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee; and the fowls of the air, and they shall tell thee: Or speak to the earth, and it shall teach thee: and the fishes of the sea shall declare unto thee. Who knoweth not in all these that the hand of the Lord hath wrought this? In whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind."


The ingenuity of God is not only evident in nature but also in the way He has orchestrated history. In Isaiah 46:9-10, God declares, "Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me, Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure." This passage further reveals God's Sovereignty and foreknowledge, as He has planned out the course of human events from the beginning of time.


God's ingenuity is also seen in the way He orchestrates the lives of individuals. In Jeremiah 29:11, God declares, "For I know the thoughts that I think towards you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end." God has a plan and purpose for each person's life, and it often involves unexpected twists and turns that result in amazing outcomes. Proverbs 16:9 states, "A man's heart deviseth his way: but the Lord directeth his steps."


The greatest expression of God's creative Wisdom is seen in the personality of Jesus Christ. Colossians 1:15-17 declares, "Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: And he is before all things, and by him, all things consist." In Jesus Christ, we see the Creator humbling himself to be able to fellowship with His creatures, showing the ultimate love and care for humanity.


In conclusion, the Holy Bible is filled with examples of God's ingenuity, creativity, resourcefulness, wisdom, and love. From the creation of the world to the intricacies of human life, God's handiwork is evident throughout history and nature. We can trust in God's perfect plan for our lives and have confidence that His ways are always best. Psalm 40:5 summarizes it as: "Many, O Lord my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered."

DO NOT DEPAIR

Having found out whom God is... DO NOT DESPAIR TEXT: PSALM 13:1-6 Key verse: “How long wilt thou forget me, O LORD? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me?” (Psalm 13:1) . Life throws up new challenges every day. This often makes the believer begin to think that God had abandoned him. Except he rouses himself up, he would become discouraged and lose all hope that help would ever come to him. David got to that point many times in his numerous battles in life. He probably prayed and fasted for long periods, but the onslaught of the enemy did not end. He was running out of options, hence he spoke in desperation to God. He seemed to conclude that He had forsaken him and wondered how long God would hide himself, and how long he was going to be abandoned to himself, getting ever more sorrowful daily. He was troubled that the enemy seemed to be triumphing over him; ...

NO SHORTCUT

If it is to be done aright, be rest assured that there is... NO SHORTCUT BELIEVERS' DIGEST PUBLICATION Bible Reading: 1 KINGS 15:16-24 Key Verse: “There is a league between me and thee, and between my father and thy father: behold, I have sent unto thee a present of silver and gold; come and break thy league with Baasha king of Israel, that he may depart from me” (1 Kings 15:19). Men always seek shortcut to success in life. Rather than live by God’s righteous standard, they seek to achieve success by any means possible. They justify their action by arguing that the end does indeed justify the means. This is despite their moral failings and character flaws, all of which contravene God’s expectations from His children. Such was the beginning of the end for King Asa, who had begun well to rule Judah and had introduced gr...

A GEM OF SPECTACULAR INFLUENCE

WINNERS' INTEREST PUBLICATION A GEM OF SPECTACULAR INFLUENCE Bible Reading: 1 Samuel 3:19-21 (KJV) Key Verse: “And Samuel grew, and the LORD was with him, and did let none of his words fall to the ground” (1 Samuel 3:19). The world, in which we live today is filled with corrupting influences. This forms the basis of God's call to His people to rise as rare treasures of purity and power. A “Gem of Spectacular Influence” is not an ordinary person. It describes a believer whose life carries unique, enduring value that transcends fleeting worldly trends. Like a precious gem that retains its brilliance even in darkness, such a life reflects resolute determination to pursue excellence in glorifying God, undimmed by surrounding negativity. The story of Samuel powerfully illustrates this truth. Raised in the tabernacle at Shiloh under the aged priest Eli, Samuel was surrounded by evil practices. Eli’s sons, Hophni and Phinehas, were notorious for ...
