GOD MADE THEM MALE AND FEMALE IN HIS OWN LIKENESS, AFTER HIS IMAGE.

GOD MADE THEM MALE AND FEMALE IN HIS OWN LIKENESS AFTER HIS IMAGE.


Genesis 1; 27 “So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them”.

As Mr. Sunny entered his office complex, a chorus of “congratulation sir!” filled the air. Everybody knew what this meant to him, and they were happy for him.

It was obvious he was happy, and rightly so, because his wife just gave birth to a baby boy.

His marriage to Mary had produced three children all of whom are girls. He had endured such a long wait for her to give him a baby boy. Thank God the wait is over. It has not been easy, though. What with all the pressure e had to contend with amongst his friends and especially his relations – a development that has caused a lot of strain in their marriage of twelve (12) years.

When the first issue came and turned out to be a girl, Sunny’s family had threatened fire and brimstone that Mary having a female child as the first issue was an affront to their wealth and noble family. Their family, they claimed, are known for having male children.

If any of them has a female child at all, it is normally one, and almost always as the last child. Mary, anxious to please her in-laws and keep her home, began to run from pillar to post. People came forward to proffer solutions to her ‘problem’.

After she tried all kinds of suggestions to aid her having a boy but still ended with a second girl, she threw away all concoction and decided to focus on God. The third issue came, yet a girl, but she was not perturbed. She reasoned that God must have a purpose for giving her these girls.

Although she wished she had a boy to please her husband, she was no longer unduly agitated. The home became turbulent, with Kenny having bouts of temper, but her new found faith and confidence in God kept her on.

Now, the Lord has looked down on her and given her child to please her husband….

Mathew 19:4 And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female.

Each i.e man and woman are created by God for specific and unique purposes.

O Lord, let the purpose for my creation as a man manifest while I am alive in Jesus name.
