RESTORED TO GOD'S DIVINE ORDER July 21,2026 We live in a society where God's original order has been turned upside down. Many now worship the very things God created for mankind to rule over. Some bow before carved images made from trees that God intended to serve humanity (Genesis 1:29). Others revere animals that God commanded man to manage and care for. Some even live in fear of birds that fly in the sky. How did this happen? Everything changed because of the fall of man. When Adam sinned, his focus shifted from God to himself. He lost the intimacy he once enjoyed with his Creator. When God called, "Where are you?" (Genesis 3:9), it was not because God did not know Adam's location, but because Adam had changed his spiritual position. His reply, "I was afraid... so I hid myself," revealed the entrance of fear into the human race. From that moment, humanity began to live under fear instead of walking in the authority God had originally given. Believers must understand that every created thing was placed under man's dominion by God (Genesis 1:26–28). If an evil spirit operates through any created object, animal, or bird, it does not remove God's divine order, infact that evil spirit has come under your authority. Through Christ, believers have authority over every power of darkness (Luke 10:19). Therefore, we are not called to fear but to exercise our God-given authority in faith and obedience. This is why the New Testament repeatedly emphasizes being "in Christ." In Christ, we become new creations (2 Corinthians 5:17). The old life inherited from Adam has passed away, and God's original purpose is restored. We are no longer slaves to fear but sons and daughters seated with Christ in heavenly places (Ephesians 2:6), walking in His victory and authority. So, what are you afraid of? The Bible declares, "The heaven, even the heavens, are the Lord's: but the earth hath he given to the children of men" (Psalm 115:16). God has entrusted the earth to mankind. You possess a physical body through which you exercise dominion, something Satan does not have. Therefore, stand firm in the order established by God, resist the devil, and walk confidently in the authority that belongs to you in Christ. If you have not surrendered your life to Jesus Christ, you remain outside God's divine order. Today is the day to receive Him, be reconciled to God, and begin living in the authority, freedom, and purpose He originally intended for you. Reflection: Are you living under fear, or are you walking in the authority that Christ has given you? Prayer: Father, thank You for restoring me to Your divine order through Jesus Christ. Help me to reject every form of fear and to walk daily in the authority, dominion, and victory You have given me. In Jesus' name, Amen.
