(2026_05_23) - Understanding the Creation and Formation of the Earth - Seniors & Grad BM - Pastor Israel Ajiboye

In this episode of the seniors brethren meeting, our Pastor laid out the account of creation, the purpose God has for heaven and earth, and His intentionality in everything He created. He emphasized the need to understand biblical teachings to walk in alignment with the purpose God has for us.We began by establishing that ignorance is a soul disease that must be healed so that we don’t relate with scriptures with our own natural understanding. It was emphasized that we cannot have the life of God without healing the ignorance of our hearts, as seen in Ephesians 4:17-18, and that ignorance can only be healed through teachings. In addition, we saw that heaven transcends a place inasmuch as it is also a geographical location (Gen 1:1). Heaven also speaks of the makeup of the beings who live in it. The earth, too, doesn’t just speak of the physical plane; it also has a spiritual plane. Furthermore, we saw that God's design is for man to live on earth, as shown in how our earthly suit (the body) fits the earth. This is why the Earth is the most habitable place for man, rather than other planets. God wants us to be on earth because it is only on earth that man can do His will, while heaven serves as the reservoir of everything men on Earth need to do God's will.Ultimately, this is God's intent for the earth, but what He really has in mind is the world to come, with the current heaven and the earth serving as prototypes that will eventually pass away, as seen in 2 Peter 3:10.
