Transformation 20
We need to be very careful of
the enemy and his tactics because
when you become a friend of the
world, you become Gods enemy.
Eve chose to ignore the word of
God. She knew too well that the
moment she eats the forbidden
fruit, death would follow but she
still went ahead and did it. This
in most cases s borne out of
familiarity. The spirit of
familiarity is very dangerous.
Many of us have entered into
deep trouble because of being
familiar with God, people and
circumstances too. Shake
familiarity out of your life.
We must also learn to take
personal responsibility of our
actions and stop blame games.
Sin has consequences. The
moment Eve and Adam
committed sin, they realised they
were naked. Initially, they were
naked but not ashamed but this
time round, they were too
ashamed they had to hide
themselves from God. Not only
that, they attempted to cover their
own nakedness by using the
garments they made for
themselves. But God in His
infinite mercies made garments of
skin for them. Initially, they
were covered with Gods glory.
Being in His presence and
communing with Him daily
meant that they were in perfect
security. There was nothing to
hide. They were united and had
one common agenda but sin
divided them. Sin exposes us.
The agenda of the enemy is to
expose us and bring shame to
our lives but the will of God for
us is to cover us with his glory
and give us honor. While the
enemy wants us to be insecure,
God wants us to enjoy perfect
security and remain in His love.
While the enemy wants us to live
in fear and separate us from
God, God wants to embrace us
and enjoy unhindered and
unbroken fellowship with Him.
