Originality

The word originality is a derivative of the word original; which according to the English language has a whole host of meaning. I will however, in this article center on the first adjectival meaning of the word original; i.e existing from the beginning; and that is with regard to Ideas and more so with regard to man.

May I suggest to you that nothing in its original form is ever a finished product, its always a work in progress. That is true of Ideas and is very much true of man(you and I) and those happen to be the two original things on earth, every other thing proceeds from those two.

I recently looked at the vast number of cars that rove around the streets and motorways, having different shapes, sizes, designs and appeal. I could not help but wonder at the ingenuity and creativity behind those wonderful machines.

I also did pause for thought about the essence of it and soon realised that it was once an Idea in the man called Henry Ford who dreamt of having a horseless carriage. the first model of the Ford car was the T model which was not very beautiful but served its purpose all the same.

Cars, of whatever model, like any other human invented thing are just expressions of Ideas and those ideas are always work in progress. That is why the original Idea for example of the Ford T model has undergone such change that we now have very sophisticated ranges of the Ford cars and a whole host of other models of cars; Ferrari, posher, Honda etc. they are just advances of the original Idea of a horseless carriage and greater cars are yet to be expressed because Ideas are always a work in progress.

As far as you and I are concerned, we are never a finished product either, 'Till we all come to in the unity of the faith, and knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ' Ephesians 4:13, attaining the stature of the fullness of Christ is a continuous process

You probably must have heard the expression that 'Times change and so do men'. it was also once said that your life only gets better when you get better, and since there is no limit on how much you can get better, there is no limit on how much you can make your life better.

Our creator has endowed us with remarkable ability, in fact his own ability to create because he created us in his very own Image. How much you want a change , an overhaul, a revamp in your life is all down to you! you have all that it takes to make the difference in your life and circumstances because you are an original.

You are most creative when you are yourself - the blue print for your creativity is found in the integrity of your being, your oneness with the Image of God. You are both a creature and a creator, that is very fascinating to say the least and of very profound significance to your existence and your abundance in life.

Have the courage to be distinctive, its your right to create and your privilege to be unique. You are one and the only one like you, celebrate yourself and do not apologise for it. Your creative ability does not grow old and you never grow old either, only your body does and that in itself is a mystery because science tells us that our bodies are made of cells and over a period of every seven years, you totally get a new body because all the cells in your body are replaced with new ones,and in case you did not know, your physical body is made up of cells.

The essence of your being does not grow old, it only matures, and maturity does not depend on the number of years you have seen the sun, rather it depends on you tapping into your creative faculty/ power and how often you do that. Be very curious and try out new things, 'think outside the box' take the status quo and turn it around.

'Odd how the creative power at once brings the whole universe to order' Virginia Woolf(1882-1942)


Your life's situation at the moment is really amatter of your own choice and you alone can make it what you want it to be, if it is good, you can make it better, if it is better, you can make it even better and if you don't like it, you have the power to change it and you can do that anytime.

The thing about your creative ability is that, its always open to you, any time of the day at any place on the face of the earth. You can tap into it at will and turn things around by the authority of your being in unison with the image of God.

You are created an original, endowed with mervelous potential, graced with a wonderfull life in Christ, and Christ in you,- the hope of glory.

You were from the begining in the mind of God, he knew you before you were formed in your mothers womb, you have the responsibility to Obey God, Love Him with all your Heart, Soul and strength and to Love your neighbour as your self.

You are an original, be not a 'photo copy', continuously be transformed by the renewing of your mind, and may the peace of God that surpasses all understanding keep your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus and may the blessings of God the Father, Son and Holy Ghost, be with you and remain with you, now and always.
