There are three serious issues that stand out so clearly in genesis 1: 2-3 immediately after God created the heavens and the earth.
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.
Genesis 1: 1-3.
First the bible says the earth was very bad to look at. The whole thing was completely
formless and empty. Second, the spirit of God was hovering over the formless earth. We do not know for how long the spirit of God hovered over the dark earth but one thing is clearly evident- nothing happened. The inky darkness that covered the earth never disappeared and everything remained the same.

We do not know for how long the spirit of God hovered over the dark earth but one thing is clearly evident- nothing happened. The inky darkness that covered the earth never disappeared and everything remained the same.
Third, the lasting solution came when God declared saying, let there be light. Even though the Spirit of God was hovering everywhere over the dark earth, the earth remained completely dark until the father called out the light. This was so because the spirit of God was waiting for the spoken word. If God had kept back His word for a hundred years the Spirit will keep on hovering throughout those years without any change.
God is always ready to change lives. The Holy Spirit is busy soaring over the spiritually dark earth of our time looking for souls to bring into God’s Kingdom. God is ready to do the miraculous provided there are kingdom speakers. The Holy Spirit is hovering over the nations but there is a need for God’s people to speak up the Gospel.
The gospel, as powerful as it is, cannot save anyone until it is been preached. An unpreached gospel is not gospel at all. Gospel is news, but news is news only when it is communicated. An unpreached gospel is like a bottle of medicine with its cork on it. Unless you remove the cork the patient will die even if the medicine is next to his bed.
The great commission has been given to all of us. If you are a Christian you are meant to be a kingdom speaker. When the real gospel is preached miracles are bound to happen, demons will not be able to withstand the fire. We will see God doing what only He can do. Preach the original message and you’ll get the original result.
