The greatest and unique blessing that God gave to human beings is “Sixth Sense” or the extra senses beyond the basic 5 senses that are present even in animals. The sixth sense I mean, is that the one that gives the “Intelligence”; that helps us to think and act; that helps us to investigate and so on.
Now, you would understand why God asked man to have dominion over all the creations. I would hence, say that this is the primary God’s Will to use his special gift, ie., 6th sense.
This is the reason why people who use this intelligence rule over the other human beings who do not or who use less. Our education system is also focuses on tuning up this sixth sense. Those who use this sixth sense earn at ease than the people who do not use their intelligence.
When I say this, immediately people quote a verse;
Proverbs 3:5 (NKJV)
5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding;
I totally agree that this verse deals with the topic what we are talking about. Just read the verse once more word by word. It says do not lean on your own understanding; meaning that you should not totally rely on your intelligence. But, it does not mean that you should never use !!!. It doesn’t even mean that you should never take any effort to develop your sixth sense.
Of course, you can not only rely on your sixth sense. Personally, my suggestion to avoid the other extreme of relying on your sixth sense alone, is that you make it a practice to sit with God’s Word every day. This will certainly help you to get God’s guidance, God’s ideas. People who do not believe Jesus also use their sixth sense for their success and they do become success. But, the success what God promises when you use God’s ideas and your sixth sense, would be at ease, without much toil, without sweat (toil and sweat – curse that God pronounced in the Garden of Eden) and certainly, this success will be a “Wow” factor.
Genesis 3:17 (NKJV)
17 … In toil you shall eat of it All the days of your life.
Finally, if you use and keep developing your sixth sense, God will give you more guidance and ideas (from my own experience). This is possible for a very simple reason that you can steer a moving car easily than a one that is parked. Most of the Christians life is like the car that is not only parked but parked with parking brake !!! Many other Christians life is like a car without even ignition ON !!! But, the beauty is God has given every one the same car with the same capacity engine. It is like having a Mercedes. People don’t even know to move an inch, but they sit inside the car and keep praying; asking God to move the car !!! God is also very stubborn saying “I am that I am”, the one who never changes !!!
In Malachi, God says that he will open the windows of heaven and pour out the blessings. How do you think he is going to bless us? Does He pour Dollars from heaven? Does He pour material blessings from heaven? That doesn’t seem to be happening. When we give tithes, He blesses us by giving ideas to success in our sixth sense. It is our responsibility to take that idea and make it a success. God also assures all the help you need in your endeavor. Now, you will better understand why many Christians are not blessed as He promised even after giving Tithes.
Malachi 3:10 (NKJV)
10 Bring all the tithes into the storehouse, That there may be food in My house, And try Me now in this,” Says the LORD of hosts, “If I will not open for you the windows of heaven And pour out for you such blessing That there will not be room enough to receive it.
I hope you will now agree with me that the sixth sense is the greatest and unique blessing that God gave to Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. Moreover, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the first and foremost God’s Will, ie., using our sixth sense. That is why God said in the garden of Eden to Adam and Eve “…subdue it; have dominion over…”.
Genesis 1:28 (NKJV)
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.”
How do you think this is possible? It’s OK to say that you have dominion over fish of the sea. But, how to have dominion over elephants, lions and other dangerous creatures in the forest? Is it because of our muscle power or our sixth sense? Just keep a thought about this when you watch Discovery or National Geographic channels next time. As soon as the animals see humans, they always try to run away. Why? looking at our stature?
Having said that using our sixth sense is primary God’s Will, we should understand why God gave such a powerful gift. Just click here to find out why.
