God Is The Blueprint Pt 2
God Is The Blueprint: A Path to Spiritual Success and Dominion
As we stand on the precipice of a new year, it's time to reflect on our divine blueprint and embrace the incredible potential that lies within us.
Imagine for a moment the very beginning - darkness and void, until God spoke light into existence. This powerful act of creation sets the stage for our own journey. Just as God brought order to chaos, we too are called to be beacons of light in the world around us. When we enter a space, do we bring negativity and complaints, or do we illuminate it with positivity and purpose (Genesis Chapter 1)?
The scripture tells us that God created humans in His image and likeness (Gen 1:26). This isn't just a poetic phrase; it's a profound truth that should shape our entire worldview. We are creative forces, designed to subdue and have dominion. But what does this really mean in our daily lives?
First and foremost, it means recognizing that we are blessed (Gen 1:28). Before God gave any command to Adam, He blessed him. This blessing isn't just a nice sentiment - it's a powerful reality that we carry with us everywhere we go. When you walk into a room, do you carry yourself with the confidence of someone who is divinely blessed? This isn't about arrogance, but about acknowledging the incredible gift of life and purpose we've been given.
Next, we're called to be fruitful (Gen 1:28). Often, we limit this to physical reproduction, but it goes far beyond that. The fruit of the Spirit - love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control - these are the qualities we're meant to cultivate and share abundantly (Gal 5:22-25). Like a tree that bears much fruit from a single seed, we're designed to multiply goodness in the world around us.
But here's where many of us get stuck. We see the success of others and try to replicate their path, forgetting that we each have a unique calling. It's tempting to follow influencers or chase after what seems popular, but this is a form of spiritual counterfeiting. Your blueprint is yours alone, crafted by the Creator of the universe. When we try to be someone else, we miss out on the incredible plans God has specifically for us.
This brings us to a critical crossroads - will we be victims or victors? The root of both words is the same, meaning to conquer or be conquered. God's command to subdue and have dominion makes it clear which path we're meant to choose. Yet how often do we find ourselves stuck in a victim mentality, focusing on what we lack or what others have done to us?
The good news is, we have a choice. Every situation, every challenge, is an opportunity to step into our God-given authority. This doesn't mean life will be easy, but it does mean we have the power to approach difficulties with a conqueror's mindset. When we breathe deeply and call upon God's Word, we activate a part of our nervous system that brings calm and clarity. This isn't just spiritual talk - it's how our Creator designed us to function at our best.
As we look to the future, it's crucial to align ourselves with God's blueprint rather than the world's expectations. This might mean letting go of things that aren't sinful but are nevertheless holding us back from God's best. It could be a relationship, a habit, or even a seemingly innocent activity. When God whispers "let it go," obedience opens the door to blessings we couldn't have imagined.
Psalm 145:16 paints a beautiful picture of God's desire for us: "You open your hand and satisfy the desires of every living thing." Notice it doesn't say needs, but desires. Our Father wants to give us good gifts, to satisfy the deepest longings of our hearts. But we must position ourselves to receive, which often means surrendering our own plans and trusting His.
On the flip side, Isaiah 55:14 offers a sobering warning. Hell itself is described as eagerly waiting to swallow up those who stray from God's path. This isn't meant to frighten us, but to awaken us to the reality of spiritual warfare. Every time we cling to bitterness, anger, or anything that separates us from God's best, we make ourselves vulnerable to the enemy's schemes.
So how do we move forward? By recognizing our true identity and purpose. We are created to have dominion, to conquer, to subdue, and to be fruitful. God Himself is our multiplier - we need only take the first step of faith, and He will cause our efforts to flourish beyond our wildest dreams.
As we stand on the threshold of a new year, let's commit to living from our divine blueprint. This means:
1. Walking in the blessing Jesus has already given us.
2. Cultivating the fruit of the Spirit in our lives.
3. Embracing our unique calling rather than imitating others.
4. Choosing to be victors rather than victims.
5. Letting go of anything that hinders God's best for us.
6. Trusting in Jesus, desire to satisfy the deepest longings of our hearts.
7. Staying alert to spiritual realities and resisting the enemy's tactics.
Remember, you are not an accident or an afterthought. You are a masterpiece, created with intention and purpose by the God of all creation. As you align yourself with Jesus and His blueprint, you'll discover a life of meaning, impact, and true fulfillment.
So take a deep breath. Feel the life-giving oxygen flow through your body, just as God breathed life into Adam. Let His Word settle in your spirit. And step forward confidently into the destiny He has prepared for you. The world is waiting for you to shine, to subdue, to have dominion. It's time to live out your divine blueprint and watch in awe as God multiplies your faithful steps into a legacy of blessing for generations to come.
