Man is the most powerful being in the universe after the God-head. He is the only creature that is given the gift of will. Even the angels in heaven do not have the freedom to choose the way man has. Angels are ministering spirits that serve the saints that are still on earth. Man, the most respected being by God amongs his creatures is given the will to choose either to do evil or good as he wishes. Man is not only given the freedom to choose but also analyze and predict the consequences of his choices.
As a result of this endowment man is the most intelligent creature among the creatures of God. This is because God pour out part of his being (essence) into man at creation by breathing the breath of life into the dust he molded. Because of this special endowment, man makes choices every moment and everyday of his life on earth. These choices in turn brings about tremendous result such as innovation of the good things of this life ranging from simple things like a hoe to as complex things like robot and also weapons of mass destruction, drugs and all forms of evil.
The extent to which you can go–the impact you can make–depends on the moment by moment and day by day choices that you make in your stay on this earth. Man is made in such a way that several thoughts pass through his mind. It could just be a thought as simple as going to read a book or as complex as deciding how to make a gigantic machine like a ship.
Every action taken by man is a product of a thought. Thought give birth to action, action give birth to behavior, behavior give birth to habit and habit give birth to character. The collection of the characters of a man defines who the man is. The mind is the most vital part of a human being whose location is not precise. Some people say the mind is located in the head that is the brain while others that is located in the heart. The location of the mind is trivial but its significance to who a man is cannot be over emphasized.
Man in his nature after the fall is corrupted and selfish. He wants a lot of enjoyment with no or little effort. The mind knows that a particular thing in important and can lead to one’s progress but the body naturally resist anything that will stress it except some extra effort is applied by insisting and engaging the mind until the body agrees to do it.
The definition of who a man is lies in the ability to control his mind by making the right choices daily and executing these choices every moment and everyday consistently and diligently. The height to which such a person can soar can only be limited by the limit of the height itself.
