The creation of man was both unique and well thought out as God’s intention was to create man and empower him as His representative on earth. There is no other creature that God created in His own image and likeness, but man. Not only that, He also gave man dominion over all other creatures of His. Man was empowered to be fruitful, multiply, replenish and subdue the earth. Adam, the firstman God created, was placed in the Garden of Eden where everything was provided for his comfortable living. The earth according to God’s plan was to be the colony of heaven with man at the head of the government, while God, the King,rules in heaven with the earth full of His glory.

Man was to rule the earth according to God’s will by being in total obedience to His will. Manwas to function like God as the Biblereveals in Genesis 1:26-28 saying:“And God said, let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. 27: So, God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. 28: And God blessed them, and God said unto them, be fruitful and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.”

The earth would have been like heaven with the residents manifesting the culture of heaven in their daily activities and life, but the devil, the pretender, represented by the serpent, came in his subtle way to deceive man and led him into the sin of disobedience. Man disobeyedthe word of God by eating the forbidden fruits,prompting sin to enter into the earth and the kingdom was lost to the devil. Man was ejected from his comfort zone, the Garden of Eden, to fend for himself.

The devil having taken over the rulership of the earth, death, sin, desperation, murder and many other evils came into being, leading to depravity of man.Nevertheless, it is not God’s will or desire that man should perish forever, so, he made a provision for man’s redemption through our Lord Jesus Christ. 1Tim 2:3-4: “For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour. 4: who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth,” NKJV.

God promised the coming of the seed of man who will bruise the head of the serpent at the appointed time. This seed of man is our Lord Jesus Christ the Saviourof mankind, which the Bible presents in the lead scripture above. God loves the man He created to represent Him on the colony of heaven in earth. The Saviour of the world our, Lord, Jesus Christ, came to reclaim the lost kingdom. He brought back the culture and government of heaven to earth, using the church as an outpost for the spread and propagation of the heavenly culture on the colony of earth. The people of the earth who will live their lives according to the legacy, the Saviour has come to propagate, will live everlasting life with Him as they will be raptured when He comes back in His glory. Whosoever lives his or her life according to God’s will, which is the Kingdom principles will make rapture, when the Lord comes forthe saints and they will be with Him forever. The people who will remain because they refused to repent will not be part of this rapture and the glory that will accompany it. That is why the Bible warns in Romans 3:23-24 saying: “For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. 24: Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.”

Through the sin of Adam in the Garden of Eden, we all have sinned, but there is redemption through our Lord Jesus Christ, the Saviour of the world. Sin, whose definition comes in various ways is transgression against the law, an overstepping of the law, the divine boundary between good and evil. It is a departure from the right or failure to meet the divine standard; it is also a trespass, which is the intrusion of self-will into the sphere of divine authority. It is also defined as lawlessness or spiritual anarchy, unbelief or an insult to the divine veracity. All sins originated from the devil and the only remedy is the acceptance of the Saviour, our Lord Jesus Christ, who was crucified on the Cross of Calvary for the salvation of mankind.

Christ came to redeem the people under the bondage of sin imposed on them by the devil. Redemption is to deliver someone through payment of a price (the price here, is the blood of Jesus Christ). Our Lord Jesus Christ bought mankind with His blood shed on the Cross of Calvary. He is, therefore, the Saviour of the world and has come for the salvation of mankind. His kingdom and government will be made manifest in the life of the people who will abide by His word and teachings of the kingdom truth. He has come to seek all for everlasting life with Him.

According to Luke 19:10:“For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.” Our Lord Jesus Christ is the seed of man,promised by God to bruise the head of serpent,and He has come for the salvation of the world. He has come to reclaim and restore the kingdom lost to the devil. Your role in this whole exercise is to believe in the redemption work of the Saviour. Sin entered the world through Satan, the devil and can only be purgedthrough the blood of Jesus Christ. When you accept Jesus Christ, you start the race in preparation for His second coming to rapture the saints who will reign with Him forever.
Today, as you read this message reject everything about the devil in your life, ensure the spirit of God rules in your life through the acceptance of our Lord, Jesus Christ, as your Lord and Saviour and prepare yourself for the rapture of the saints.
