"And God blessed them, and God said unto them, oBe 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."
Whatever we mis-manage we lose. (Remember the parable of the Talents)
We are created to manage God’s resources. In Genesis God talks to man about what he is created to do and what he is to manage.
Eden means presence (atmosphere) not a place.
That’s why we can’t find it.
God creates environment first.
Created water then He makes fish.
Created earth then plants.
Take fish or plant out of its environment it dies.
If man is removed from Eden (presence of God) he dies.
In Gen. 2 work second thing God gave man.
This is why our church is filled with women.
Devil hates a praising man because the devil knows he’s losing that man.
It is man's job to:
- Take care – cultivate
- Guard – protect
- Keep- don’t touch
All instructions came from God to Adam.
Adam (from the earth) what you do controls the country- the world.
#1 male created first – responsible - the teacher
#2 image- self image
#3 1st place- presence
#4 command work
#5 cultivate
#6 protect
#7 obey the Word
Key to mankind- is work (not job) - put him in the right atmosphere.
Work- Greek word "ergon" meaning to become yourself, manifest yourself, reveal your true self, discover your true self.
Work- gift- what you’re born to do.
God has hidden in man a gift that is to come forth.
First command God gave man was to produce.
Seed made to produce.
Fish to swim.
Bird to fly.
Tiger Woods- once said, you can’t fire my gift.
Work- source of vision.
Vision- pictures in work. Prov. 19:1 God's purpose will prevail.
Something God wanted done so He prepared us for a finished work. We are here on assignment. Our assignment gets trapped inside of us. A Job often suffocates our work.
The Male is defined by his (Ergon) his work.
Lose job- doesn’t lose his life, but if he can’t work he loses his worth.
This is why work is such an importance for man, much more than for woman.
God gave man work before he gave him a woman.
For Man, Work is in his worth, not his woman.
Women don’t make a man feel valuable, his work does.
Man finds sense of value in his work.
Jesus came to finish the work.
Jesus fulfilled in His work.
Work the work. The Work of my Father who sent me.

Work the work that you were put here on the earth to do. People will pay you to operate in your gift if you are disciplined in that work. My more you are disciplined the more people will pay you. Watch the last two videos I put up and the last two blogs. Then get an accountability partner and start calling one another into accountability in the area of discipline. Help one another by praying to hear from God your purpose and assignment if you don't know it or are uncertain.
See you here on Monday. I will be sharing more on this topic. Most of this comes from a book by Myles Munroe I read years ago.
The world is waiting for your gift. Make a great weekend.
