I believe that God will touch and change many lives through this topic and bless many souls by letting them re-discovering their purpose on earth before their exit from this temporary home.

Topic (05/06/2023) : Who Created Me?
This question has been asking for many times by different people who are eager to know who behind their creation.

Here are two keypoints and Bible references let us know that God is our creator.

1. God as the Creator:
The Bible establishes God as the ultimate Creator of the universe, including mankind. The accounts of creation in the book of Genesis provide foundational passages supporting this belief.
- Genesis 1:1 – "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth." From this Bible verse, it clearly stated that God created everything without any doubt.

- Genesis 1:26-27 – "Then God said, 'Let us make man in our image, after our likeness…'"

2. God creating humanity in His image:
The Bible let us know clearly that humans have been created in the image and likeness of God. Knowing from now that God created you and He loves too. Nobody ever happy while his hand's work is being damaged or destroy. Likewise God doesn't happy when the people He created in his own image are not recognise Him as their creator.

- Genesis 1:27 – "So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them."

As from this moment on, I want you to realise and understand that your existence on earth is being behind by God your creator.

Prayer Points
