A LITTLE LOWER THAN THE ANGELS [PSALM 8] A

1. “O LORD, our Lord, How excellent is Your name in all the earth, Who have set Your glory above the heavens!
3. “When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, The moon and the stars, which You have ordained,
4. What is man that You are mindful of him, And the son of man that You visit him?”
5. FOR YOU HAVE MADE HIM A LITTLE LOWER THAN THE ANGELS, And You have crowned him with glory and honour."
6. You have made him to have dominion over the works of your hands; You have put all things under his feet,
7. All sheep and oxen—even the beast of the field,
8. The birds of the air, and the fish of the Sea that pass through the paths of the seas."
Psalm 8:1,3-8 (NKJV)
• God is awesome. He is too much!
- Considering the heavens and all He has made, no one should boast before Him (1 Corinthians 1:29,31).
- Nature speaks about God (Romans 1:19,20).
- However, if God gives you the opportunity as an individual to do a particular thing, you should see it as a privilege.
- If someone is not willing to do God's bidding, He has any number of people He can use—He can do without any man, no one can hold Him to ransom.
- God would not need the help or assistance of anyone to do whatever He purposes to do.
• Truth: Every servant of God should always see it As a privilege to be considered HIS minister.
- God made man a little lower than Elohim–God (Psalm 8:5).
~ Man has God’s attributes.
~ We have ability to reason, and comprehend things.
~ We have ability to plan things and accomplish whatever the plan may be: “And the LORD said, “Indeed the people are one and they all have one language, and this is what they begin to do; NOW NOTHING THAT THEY PROPOSE TO DO WILL BE WITHHELD FROM THEM" (Genesis 11:6).
~ Ability to bring to fulfilment what they have proposed was given to man through their oneness and language.
~ Through their oneness and language, they could bring to fulfilment whatever they have determined to do.
- God crowned man with glory and honour.
GOD made him have dominion over the works of His hands; God puts all things under his feet (Psalm 8:6,7).
NOTE: God created man to rule and dominate the world:
27. “So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.
28. Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth” ” (Genesis 1:27-28).

• Idolatry is one of the most grievous sins in the sight of God.
GOD sent the Israelites into captivity mainly because of the sin of IDOLATRY.
- God is a jealous God, He does not want to share your affection with any other gods.
WHAT you give your affection MORE than God has become another GOD to you.
- You may have not bow down to any graven image, but if the place God should occupy in your heart is being given to another thing or PERSON, that is IDOLATRY.
- Some who want to get additional certificates opted to attend weekend classes, lectures, thus they stop attending church meetings on Sundays.
THEY prefer Sunday classes or lectures, they would not want their secular works to be affected, but their works in the church could be affected and cancelled.
THEY believe God understands!
• It is foolishness to kick against your God, the Rock who begotten you: "Of the Rock who begot you, you are unmindful, AND HAVE FORGOTTEN THE GOD WHO FATHERED YOU" (Deuteronomy 32:18).
- Your SUCCESS, ambition or goals, should not be your GOD.
WHEN you become fat, you should not forget your God who made you: "But Jeshurun grew fat and kicked; you grew fat, you grew thick, you are obese!
THEN HE FORSOOK GOD WHO MADE HIM, AND SCORNFULLY ESTEEMED THE ROCK OF HIS SALVATION" (Deuteronomy 32:15).
- Has not the blessing of God in your life BECOME an idol?
HAVE you not allowed comfort to make you think your time is yours?
IF you have no time for the things of the kingdom any longer, when you also need Him, He may not be there for you.
IF you honour Him, He also will honour you: "But now the LORD says: 'Far be it from Me; FOR THOSE WHO HONOUR ME I WILL HONOUR, AND THOSE WHO DESPISE ME SHALL BE LIGHTLY ESTEEMED" (1 Samuel 2:30).
11. "This is a faithful saying: For if we died with Him, we shall also live with Him.
12. IF WE ENDURE, WE SHALL ALSO REIGN WITH HIM. IF WE DENY HIM, HE ALSO WILL DENY US.
13. If we are faithless, He remains faithful; He cannot deny Himself."
2 Timothy 2:11-13 (NKJV)
• You cannot do without God.
- Those who claimed there is no God regret at the end of their journey on earth.
SOMEONE who claims to have known God, who would not acknowledge Him as they should, and wanted to live independently of Him, would start descending in his or her Life.
GOD is the reason why things are working FOR you!
• You will not fail in Jesus' name.
Peace!
