CREATED !!

Bishop Dag Heward-Mills

READ: Genesis 1:26-31; 2:18-24

“Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.” - Ezekiel 28:15  

Satan forgot that he was a created being and wanted to rise and replace God on His throne. Perhaps his singing and music attracted so much praise that he thought the music came from within himself. Just accepting that you are normal shows that you are humble and not puffed up. Accept that you are just like everyone else. Accept the fact that you need help.

Many people do not like to discuss realities! When you speak about marriage or sex they look at you as though you are vulgar or profane. It is humility to accept your human needs, desires and tendencies. It is wise and humble to understand yourself and to accept yourself. When you are puffed up and cannot bring yourself to behold or discuss your human realities, you will find yourself falling.

Some people who decided that they were above the sexual activities of normal marriage have actually fallen far below the natural created state and into depraved forms of sexuality such as having sex with their own sex or with little children. Such people will secretly give themselves over to pornography and other perversions.

To accept your humanity is to avoid embarrassment and humiliation. To think that you are special and do not need to do the base activities that other human beings do, is to be puffed up. Accept that you are a man like every other man and a woman like every other woman. Take decisions that reveal that you respect these realities. That is humility. Do not be like Lucifer who forgot that he was created.
