IN THE BEGINNING  

TEXT: Gen 1:1-13

Memory Verse Gen 1:1 (NKJV)
 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

The scripture has uncountable and impeccable evidence that there is a supreme being (God) who fashioned our world.

We need reminders like this because there are several creation theories which men created by God have crafted to deny God the praise due to Him for His wonderful work of creation.

The greatness of our God is seen
In the sky and sea and forest green
All living creatures great and small
Reveal the God who made them all - DJD

Additional Scriptures;
Neh 9:6 You alone are the Lord; You have made heaven, The heaven of heavens, with all their host, The earth and everything on it, The seas and all that is in them, And You preserve them all. The host of heaven worships You.
The Bible tells us that God created:the foundations of the earth (Ps104:5); the sun, moon, stars and the heavens (Ps148:1-5); the ends of the earth (Is40:28); lightening, rain, wind (Jer10:13); people (Mal 2:10); all things (Eph3:9)

To do: Look around and appreciate God's wonderful works of creation and praise Him for them

CHRISTIANS AND POLITICS

Since last week when Rev. Father Ejike Mbaka remarked on the current political situation in the country while preaching, the media has been awash with comments and opinions; some saw him as meddling into politics and leaving his primary responsibility of tending the flock.Others think the Reverend gentleman is a citizen who has a right to express his opinion. Even among those who think he has the right of expression there are some who disagree with the way he exercised that right. Even Christians are divided on the issue of Christian involvement in politics. If Christians can be involved in politics is there a limitation? Was Jesus involved in politics? Are you involved yourself?
