The Superiority of Man

hen a person believes something that is in line with God’s word, he should say it. The circumstances at that time may not be favourable, but that does not matter. It is a matter of time before they will all bow. Why? Because man is a superior creature.

“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. So, God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. 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. 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. And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to everything that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so. And God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.”

(Genesis 1:26-30).

Man was made in God's likeness and in His image. Additionally, man is granted sovereignty over all other animals throughout the entire universe. The Bible also commands that man be fruitful and possess the ability to conquer the earth and all its inhabitants. Man receives every other creation as a gift from God.

“And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof. And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him.”

(Genesis 2:19, 20).

In his primal state, man was good. The crown of God's creation was and is still man, who at birth is just "a bit lower than the angels."

“For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honor.”

(Psalm 8:5).

Man, in his original nature can say anything by faith, and it will stand despite the powers opposed to those words. When in faith we receive Christ, no power can stand against our words. Faith has a voice, and the voice of faith is the words of believers. And believers are those who believe the word of God.

The Voice of Faith

The Bible says that Cain talked with Abel, his brother. From this passage, we understand that Abel must have spoken back to Cain by saying no to his evil demand or negatives words. That is what we mean by voice of faith. The beliefs of Cain and Abel are opposed to each other. Their words fought against each other until Cain rose and killed Abel, but that did not make Cain a victor because the blood of Abel could not be silenced by physical death. Death only increased that voice until it reached the greatest office in creation, and entered into the ears of God.

“And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him. And the LORD said unto Cain, where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother's keeper? And he said, what hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground.”

(Genesis 4:8-10).

Faith has a voice. So, when you believe, do not stop at that level. Say what you believe and stand on that even unto death. Even after the death of Cain who killed Abel, that blood kept speaking through the family of Cain.

God believes in his word, and he said it out loud. We must say it aloud in the face of any opposition. This world we are now in; that has lasted for many years came into existence by the voice of faith spoken by God. Everything we can see today is too small when compared to the ones we cannot see. All of them came by the spoken word of God.

“Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.”

(Hebrew 11:3).
