First Adam lost in the Old Testament was found in the second Adam
in the New Testament.
In the book of Genesis before God can create a male or female, He
created a Man. Because he created a man first that’s why both female and
male had a man in them. The Man and the woMan. Man was given authority,
dominion, rulership. And what man said it came to pass because man is made of
God’s image and likeness.
When the nature saw man, they saw God because he has
the image of God. Man is god on earth. When you are made of God’s image, you
have to listen to the one who made you, the man fell when he disobeyed God by listening
to woman’s voice over God’s Word. Man start to lose themselves when they become
disobedience.
I know that Adam lost a lot in the garden of Eden but today I
don’t want to focus on things that he lost, the respect, the position, the
capacity, the authority. The most valuable asset which was lost in Adam was the
Man. And a man is not a gender, gender comes after a man is created.
Man is the image of God.
Man is the representation of God on Earth.
The likeness of God is the character of God.
A “how God does things”
A person who knows the where to go can get lost. Someone who
doesn’t know where they are going, they can’t get lost because they don’t know
where they are going. They don’t have the direction. Jesus Christ said “ I have
come to save that which was lost” because there is the which that is lost, when
man feel in the garden of Eden, he didn’t lose just the garden, he lost the man
and when you lose the man you lose everything that God has given you.
You lose
the authority, the power, the management skill (that’s why today people can’t
manage their own affairs because they have to find the man first and the man is
found only in Christ Jesus, the image of God and the likeness of God.
Nobody wants to be lost, because losing is bad.
We lose ourselves
trying to find our purpose, our soulmates, our career and our families.
Sometimes we lose our selves in conversations, social media platforms and
that’s why you can worship, praise in the church but still be dry because you
are lost, you have to find the man first, the man is the one who can connect to
God. God speaks to man not the flesh. Man connects us to the heaven, to God, to
the supernatural. The systems of this world make us to lose our selves us that
when we come into the presence of God, we don’t know ourselves. When a person
stops valuing spending time with God, know that they are lost.
BLESSED IS THE ONE WHO REALIZES WHEN THEY ARE LOST BECAUSE THEY
CAN BE FOUND.
