Man was created for deep, unhindered fellowship with God. God breathed life into him, making him a reflection of Himself, with authority, power, creativity, and the ability to accomplish the unimaginable. Yet, man lost these gifts when he chose to believe the devil’s deception, doubting and disobeying God.

But God had a redemption plan. He sent His Son to restore what was lost. While not all believe, those who do are empowered to reclaim far more than the first man forfeited—they become sons and daughters of God, sharing in His divine nature.

So, if you are a child of God, don’t live as though you’re ordinary. Embrace your authority. Work with purpose, creativity, and excellence, and live as the extraordinary being you were created to be.

“I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.” Scripture
