Rom 1:21
For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God.
NLT
God has structured creation in a way that any human being who tries will come to the deduction that there is a higher power controlling the course of creation. He will personally conclude that there has to be a supreme being. In Africa for instance, before we received the gospel of salvation, even though the peoples had smaller gods, they all believed that there was a supreme God, the Yoruba’s for instance (in West Africa) called Him Eledumare. How did they come to this knowledge? Our text tells us that God structured creation to reveal this knowledge.
God is invisible but He is real, just like the air you breathe is invisible but real. You know air is real because you breathe it. We know God is real because our spirits perceive Him and His presence is the air every living spirit breathes; living spirits because when man fell in the garden of Eden, our spirits became dead to God and lost that vital link that keeps us spiritually alive towards God(see Gen 2:17). That life is what produces the fruit of the spirit. When that life is not there, the person cannot produce the fruit of the spirit just like when a physical tree is dead, it cannot produce fruits even though its frame might still be standing.
…Will be continued
Go into today knowing that the air your Spirit breathes is God’s holy presence. When your spirit is so quickened it will affect even your mortal body bringing life and grace also to everything you do (see Rom 8:11).
Prayer confession: I am alive in the spirit. My flesh is being vitalized by God’s holy presence, my mind is being renewed. I have what God says I have, I can do what God says I can do, I am going to where God says I will go when God says so. In Jesus name I declare. Amen
