CREATED FROM WITHIN




“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.” (Jer. 1:5NIV)


When a baby is being born, nothing differentiates the sex from a boy or a girl. At birth, all the physical features of the baby give no clue to what sex would be until the latter part of the body is sighted. Even as they grow up, you wonder where all the gender characteristics are hidden. Both the boys and the girls carry a similar look! The breasts and curves of a female together are far from fetch while the beards and the deep voice of the male are all trapped in the world of the unseen. Yet all these are very much present within; for in a period of time, changes start becoming visible. The inside begins to reveal the outside, and the unseen becomes uncovered.


At this point, the distinctiveness of either gender now becomes realistic and easy to recognise even from the sound of their voices. It is certain that while no one gives cognisance to these children as they grow up, the treasures on their inside earnestly yearns for manifestation.


This illustration depicts how the hidden treasure on the inside of man awaits manifestations to his world. We came here with all we needed inside and it doesn’t matter what it looks like presently, our true personality remains intact.


If you are such that thought that all you are is all that is seen at the moment or measures your fulfilment due to your beginning, then you need to reconsider your thoughts. Man’s future is meant to be measured from within than by his beginning. Every man is born to the world with his future trapped inside of him, hence it is time we begin to call out what we are made by God to conceive.


Taking a look again at what happened in the beginning; the whole situation was characterised with formlessness and emptiness. There was no clue of what would happen next, yet the Creator never gave up on the situation. Right inside of Him was the actual picture of the end product conceived and with it He made the outside to produce its reality from the invisible. When the word Let there be light was sounded, it was birth from within! God saw His destination from within and called it out to manifestation.


“By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God's command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible.” (Heb 11:3NIV).


Inside the darkness He called out the light, the sea, the ground, the vegetation and also animals. This was possible because the whole creation were once an idea inside of Him. He conceived them hence birthing them became possible.
