We are made in the image of God, born to show forth His divine creativity and power. Eph 2:10. In each of us God has deposited a gift, we must become His mirror, when people look at us they should see God, just as they see him in the flowers of the field and the sunset over the mountains. God’s people must reflect Him.



In order to reflect God we must seek to become one with Him. John17:22-23. We come into oneness with God through prayer. This oneness will allow us to know the mind of God. 1Cor2:16. When we have the mind of God we will operate in the plan and purposes of God. We will begin to show His creativity and become His divine influence. God’s gift deposited in us will be unearthed and we begin to live above and beyond the mundane.



What do we see when we stare out at the ocean, what do we see when we look at the stars or the birds of the air? We see a master creator, placing each creature on this earth having a unique form and to fulfill a specific purpose, we see God. So God has placed in each of us a specific gift so that through us He can unfold His manifold character, so that through us others will see God.



As we become one with God, He begins to show us that which is deposited in us, and as we begin to unearth that which He deposited, we begin to walk in victory, peace, provision and purpose. Our gift makes way for us because the creator sustains the creature. That is why Jesus spoke about the lilies of the field in Matt28:30, He is a God that sustains. He designed the root of the tree in such a unique form that it will find water and be sustained. He has designed each creature with a specific thing that will ensure its sustenance. He designed us with a specific gift in order that we will be sustained.



When we begin to truly walk as God would have us, using the gifts that He has given us and walking in the purpose for which we were born, we begin to showcase the creator. We become God’s mirrors. People will gaze at us as they do the stars, because we are doing exactly what God intends us to do.



Use prayer as a medium to know God, use it as the tool to fellowship and become His friend. Become united again with the creator and begin to reflect Him, so that others will see and know who God is.

Everywhere that you see, people who think of religion view it in some very depressing and oppressive matters, especially when it came to the "role" of women; I guess I can see why: many old-fashioned patriarchs would use religious documents to justify why women belong in a specific role of life as the homemaker who must serve her husband hand and foot, especially Christian men, who use the punishment of Eve to justify making women "obey" their male counterparts. They turn to the Bible constantly to justify "gender roles" where women should listen to their husbands and husbands should command...

The True Religion

By Abu Ameenah Bilal Philips

THE RELIGION OF ISLAM

The first thing that one should know and clearly understand about Islam is what the word "Islam" itself means. The religion of Islam is not named after a person as in the case of Christianity which was named after Jesus Christ, Buddhism after Gotama Buddha, Confucianism after Confucius, and Marxism after Karl Marx. Nor was it named after a tribe like Judaism after the tribe of Judah and Hinduism after the Hindus. Islam is the true religion of "Allah" and as such, its name represents the central principle of Allah's "God's" religion;...

“Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us” Eph3:20(KJV)

We often read and even recite this scripture, but I wonder how many have stopped to really look into what it means. The ability of God far exceeds that which we can express or even that which can enter into our thoughts. The English language in all its vastness is limited in expressing the ability of God. Paul in an attempt to explain says “exceeding abundantly”.

Exceeding- To go beyond the bounds or limits of, to exceed one's understanding, to...
