God of Design and Purpose

God of Design and Purpose
By Gabriel O. Omowaye

At a time, I have wondered at creation, marvelled at her existence because mighty are the works of God, great are His deeds. But just like the movie 'treasure island' by Nicholas Cage, all the answers I need are in my palm, the Word of God.

I have studied and learnt Adam to be the first man on earth, yet, believers are most times referred to as sons of Abraham. For a while, I never seem to find a connection, not until now. Our Islam brothers and sisters might have the message interpreted in another form, but I am sure we will arrive at the same conclusion.

President Obama was said to be a cousin of former VP Dick Cheney, and also a long relative of Warren Buffet. Obviously, someone might have thought it is a political catapult. So also there was Matt Damon and Ben Affleck who are close buddies but about the same time like Barack, were found out to be long distance cousins.

Fellow great people following my creative blog, I bring to you a message today like no other. It is a genealogy revelation to grace by divine design and for a purpose.

In the beginning after God created man (and woman), He blessed them "be fruitful and multiply. Fill the earth and govern it. Reign over (all other creatures) [Book of Genesis, chapter 1, the 28th verse].

If you come to my village in Ode-Ekiti, we have great number of great people spread across the globe: from the famous Prof Aluko's, to my godfather (by birth) late Prof I.O. Adelola's to many predominant and common people there, one thing we have in common is that somewhat somehow, we are all related.
My grandpa who died at the age of a hundred and thirty something - his age could not be determined - estimated to be the oldest man in that province, once told me:
"Omololu, Omowaye Family is so big that I wish the females would keep their last name so that you do not marry one another". That is how big my family is.

I was led by the spirit to the book of Luke (a Greek doctor) chapter 3, verses 24 to 28, written about A.D 60
This is the message:
Adam (the first man on earth)'s son was Seth,
from Seth ... to Methuselah (the oldest man on earth who literally died at the age of 969, but might be symbolic) [Genesis 5: 27]

I once attended a church where the preacher said Methuselah was mentioned as the oldest man but had no significance. With all due respect, NO, not true. He had a great significance.

Methuselah's son was Lamech whose son was Noah.
Noah's time signified the end of the world with the flood.

Noah's son was Shem ... And Nahor's son was Terah who was the father of Abram (who God renamed to Abraham, the father of many nations).

Vs 34 -
Abraham became the father of Isaac (at the age of 100) [Genesis 21:5] Isaac became the father of Jacob (God renamed Jacob to Israel)
Judah was one of the sons of Jacob
...

David, the king of Israel was the son of Jesse

Vs 24 -
Heli was the son of Matthat
Joseph was the son of Heli
Jesus, "the Son of Man", was the son of Joseph.

The Word was fulfilled; a new testament was created.
The genealogy becomes so large beyond comprehension, and it is being studied daily

Many people would have wondered what their purpose in life is. But looking at this genealogy, popular and great names would have been expected to lead to the birth of Jesus, yet affiliated.
Joseph, the son of Jacob, the leader of Egypt was not mentioned but his brother Judah
Solomon, the son of David, the king of Israel was not mentioned, instead it was Nathan
And etc.

No matter who you are, what you are going through, you are created for a purpose and your life is not by accident.
Learn the truth of God's Word and you will surely find a meaning to your life because you are specially, wonderfully and beautifully formed.

God's Word will never go un-accomplished!!

Believe in Him - Christians, Muslims, Jews, whoever you are, whatever you do - the Lord is compassionate; He has created you for a reason. Draw closer to Him, know Him, and your light will become brighter to a perfect end.

Praise be to God!




Omowaye, Omololu Gabriel.
