After Its' Own Kind - Tom Milam

“After Its Own Kind”

Genesis 1:24-31

“In the beginning God created...” Wouldn’t you like to have been there when God began to speak, “let there be”, and it was?

He probably blew His breath and His spirit moved upon the face of the waters. He could have waved His hand, and said let there be light: And it was so. He might have taken His finger and moved the land masses and separated them with water He drew from the universe.  However, He molded this earth and all of the elements of the universe, by speaking a word and it was so. He spoke to men of old to write and they did.

He spoke to the devil and his angels of darkness and they answered from the pits of hell. He spoke to the disciples to go, and they went; He spoke to the virgin, Mary, that she would deliver a son, that would deliver the world; God spoke and Jesus suffered the agony of the cross; He again spoke and Jesus raised forth from the grave, ascended and is coming back for His own.

          God is speaking to each of us, to go and tell the story of a Saviour come from Glory.  Are you listening to Him speak? Are you willing to fulfill the commissioned orders we received at Conversion?

When God spoke in the beginning, that life would produce after its own kind, still holds true today.  We as Christians are to produce more Christians. Let us labor to produce after our “own kind.”

“Grace”

Men of old in Canaan land

Ate angels food from God’s own hand;

so why not now from His hand to feed

Grace a-plenty to provide our need.

Start today, throw your fears away:

Live for Jesus, do your best

And we who have believed

do enter into rest.

-Tom Milam (Hebrews 4:3)

“What God Spoke in the beginning that life would produce after

its own kind, still holds true today.”

Genesis 1:24-31 

24 And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.

25  And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

26  And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

27  So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

28  And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

29  And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.

30  And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.

31  And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.

Have a blessed day.  Please contact us if we have been a blessing.  We would love to pray for you and with you for your needs.
