Men who come to understand the awesome greatness of the Almighty God learn to bow at His feet. The simple reason is that it is a great mystery to understand who God is. It is not because someone is educated or wealthy that makes him stand in the place of authority to the point that such can intimidate God. God is the giver of all knowledge. When He created Adam (His first creation whom he created in His own image), He brought to him all animals for a naming ceremony and the Bible has this record that, “And whatever Adam called each creature that was its name” Gen. 2:19b. What an awesome knowledge, Adam never went to any primary, secondary or tertiary institution to do that. He did not even study zoology nor any animal science related course to give names to all the animals, imagine the massiveness of the animals on earth. Do you know that the reason why God purposely decided to hide himself from man (his invisibility), he has done so that He can reveal himself only to the humble and those who seek him with all their heart? I see a sense in that. There are officers in the world today that you can’t just get into their office without prior appointment. If a human being that is only privileged to be in an office of honor will not disclose himself anyhow, do you think the creator of heaven and earth had been unfair in deciding to disclose himself so he might be much honored by man?
My heart pants for your presence o God. You are the pillar that holds my life. I love you with the whole of my heart. Men who do not know you belittles your greatness but as for me I have learnt and I’m still learning that there is none like you Lord.
Is there anyone who can disprove your presence? Sometimes when I consider some of your handiworks like the air, the waters, etc and think so deeply on them, I bow my head. No one will ever say he has seen the air with his bear eyes before, yet no one can deny the existence of the air. We see its handiworks on the things its blows on. Sometimes it turns to a violent storm and become very destructive. Sometimes it breaks the ship on the sea, sometimes it turns to a volcano while at other times it becomes an aid for fire destruction. Beautifully on the other hand, it becomes very enjoying when it turned to very useful material like the air condition, the cool breeze under the three, the cool air by the river bank, the list goes on and on.
Every culture, tribe and language knows that water is in itself a mystery. In the Yoruba culture there is the proverb that says, “Water has no hand, it has no legs and it carries even the biggest log”. Imagine how many creatures the waters house in the sea…the fish in its numerous species, the reptiles like crocodile and the like in its numerous forms, the sea pigs the hippopotamus the sea birds the duck etc all having their daily bread in the waters…how can a fool say those things are not following a divine order?
Where does man see the laws that govern existence? Where does man see cohabitation laws that rejects anarchy and says no to apartheid? How does man know that relationship with the opposite sex is the best of intimacy?
