“In the Beginning, God…”

Wedding of Johannes Mooka & Kwenzeleni Ntanzi

Genesis 1

1 In the beginning, God…

God is the beginning of everything.

In all walks of life there are different positions and ranks. But God is over all; He is no. 1. There is no one that can be compared to Him in glory or greatness.

The foundation of our faith is based upon this word, “in the beginning God …” Our Christian faith is based on this truth that in everything in life God is first. In business or family life, He must be first.

He is the beginning and the end – even in the middle He is first.

It is not to be the husband or the wife first, but God first. He must have the predominance in everything.

A car has a spare-wheel so that in case of a problem with one of the wheels it can be replaced with the spare-wheel.
Now God is not to be your spare-wheel, to be called upon only when you’re in trouble. He must be the first throughout your life.

The strange thing is that though people treat God as the spare-wheel and only call upon Him in tragedy He is rich in mercy and many times still answers that prayer. Humanly speaking we would say that such a person deserve to be forsaken of God, but God many times still shows mercy.

Does your life bear testimony to the fact that He is indeed still the first in your life?

Let God change you. It would be good that everyone coming to this wedding ceremony examine his or her life before the Lord in the light of this word.
