INTRODUCTION

God created man in His own image to have dominion over all of his creation. To this end, Man became the overseer of all things God created on earth. Shortly after Man was created, God placed him in the land of plenty (EDEN) to tend to it, enjoy all that the garden could possible offer, live a stress free life; to be in sound and good health, also being encompassed with prosperity. 3 John: 2 …I wish above all things that you should prosper and be in health… God sent man to this world as is replica, to exhibit His nature. This nature is that of power, creativity, authority, riches, Divinity, seamless impacts, and most importantly represent love.

Man lost his position of authority, dominion, and God-like nature to the wiles of the devil after the first man (Adam) fell in the Garden of Eden. He began to suffer frustration, pain, anguish, and sicknesses, stagnation, poverty, etc. Afflictions became the order of the day, (Genesis 3:16-17). To this end, he brought all the generation after him under the curse of the Lord.

God, in His infinite mercies gave up His only begotten son for the restoration of man on the cross of Calvary, so that man will be redeemed through Salvation, by the precious blood of Jesus that was shed on the cross; and also be re-united with God. Undoubtedly, after salvation, man is restored back to the God kind of life (ZOE) Jeremiah 33:6-8. At redemption, man’s sinful nature is cleansed by the blood of Jesus through confession and acceptance of Jesus as the personal Savior. The old man gets nailed to the cross after confessing and accepting Jesus as the lord and personal savior, Romans 6:6. The life lived prior to being redeemed has become the thing of the past. It is important for man to begin to operate in this consciousness that he is now a new being, without any blemish. There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus Romans 8:1.

At this point, man must put his hope only in God for him not to suffer any setback in all that God has purposed in His heart as a plan for his life after reconciliation. For I know the thoughts that I think towards you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil… (Jeremiah 29:11).

I will bring health and healing to it; I will heal my people and will let them enjoy abundant peace and security. I will bring Judah and Israel back from captivity and will rebuild them as they were before. I will cleanse them from all the sin they have committed against me and will forgive all their sins of rebellion against me (Jeremiah 33: 6-8 NIV). After redemption, the ultimate goal should be God, and no other man. Every help required to run the new race and live the new life will only come from God, so it is important to begin a relationship with God in order to get every spiritual guidance. John 3:27 ‘No one can receive anything unless God gives it from heaven. All our help comes only from God.

"Cursed be the man that trust in man…Jeremiah 17:5

…blessed is the man that trust in the Lord…" Jeremiah 17:7.

I pray that no one will miss his or her redemptive package which God has prepared through His Son Jesus Christ. It is God’s blessing (not the job, friend, relatives or hustle) that makes rich and it adds no sorrow Proverbs 10:22.

Chapter One

Creation of man

The book of Genesis gave the vivid picture of how man was created in the likeness of God, and His purpose for them Genesis 1:26-28. He breathe into man, and he became a living soul, Genesis 2:7.

The creation of man in God’s image brought him into the class of God, by the reason of His breath, gene and the DNA we carry inside of us. God is the master surgeon, the all-knowing, the God who turns the impossible case into possibilities. His breath formed everything that makes up our body, in other words, we are gods. I have said ye are gods; … psalms 82:6.

The sole way to enjoy abundance is to embrace God with all our heart. God re-united us with Himself by giving up His only begotten Son (Jesus) for our sake, to set us free from all oppression of the devil; and to return us back to our rightful place, which is to be in dominion over all He has created.

Man can only, and will take his place back in dominion, authority and blessings if he can return to God via the provision made available for him, which is accepting Jesus; and confessing Him as the Lord and personal Savior.

That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. Romans 10:9

We must endeavor to forgo
