FOOD FOR TEENS:WHAT REALLY HAPPENED IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN PART 2

-

Question 4: Why/How did their sin/disobedience become our problem? 
Adam and Eve were man’s first parent, they were saddled with the responsibility of choosing the type of life every man should live, they chose the lesser life of sin and death and as a result, all their descendants being that they were seeds of Adam carried in them his D.N.A which was the D.N.A of sin and death, which is why no man could and can please God in the flesh. 
Question 5: How/What did Jesus do to save us from this mess that Adam got us into? 
Firstly, now there was the issue of sin which would always make it impossible for man to please God because man must be judged for his wickedness and our God is a just God. So, Jesus Christ being the perfect sacrifice without spot and blemish had to give himself (shed His blood) for our sins. Romans 3:23, “For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.” Hebrews 9:22, “And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.” The perfect and only sacrifice that could blot out our sins was the blood of Jesus.Remember, He was a different kind of man, even though He walked in the flesh, His life was the life of God because He wasn’t of the seed of Adam, so He didn’t have the D.N.A of the fallen man but of God which made Him the perfect sacrifice. Hallelujah!!Secondly, there was the issue of the fallen nature of man, even though our sins has been blotted out, there was no guarantee that we wouldn’t go back to sin because that is the only life we knew and we were subject to it. Now that our sins has been forgiven, He (Jesus) gave us another opportunity to decide the type of life we wanted to live, so He had to plant His life again (just like the tree of life) in the ground and die and resurrect. So, that we could choose life now by accepting Him as our Lord and Saviour – John 12:24. It is only those who have this life that can have fellowship and intimate relationship with the Father, John 4:24, “God is a Spirit and they that worship him must worship Him in spirit and in truth."Now by adoption, we are sons of God and a peculiar people, no longer descendants of Adam, no longer under the curses but under grace. Now we have returned back to the spiritual Garden of Eden where we must now live a life of fellowship with the Father. Praise the Lord!!!God bless you, see you next month.

I'TS NOT WORTH IT : STOP RESISTING GOD IN YOUR LIFE

Dearly beloved, I welcome you all to this awesome month of June. May all that the Lord has for you this month be made manifest in your life in Jesus name, Amen. This month, I will be admonishing you on what I titled, ‘Stop resisting God in your life.’ The Bible says in the book of Jeremiah 29:11, “For I know the thoughts that I think towards you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.” The New International Version of the same book of Jeremiah 29:11 says, “For I know the plans I have for you, declared the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” It is important to note by this scripture that God has great things in store for you, not just for your present but also for your future. What a wonderful Father. You facing difficult situations today can take comfort in Jeremiah 29:11 knowing that it is not a promise to immediately rescue you from hardship or suffering, but rather a promise that God has a

FOOD FOR TEENS :THE INTENTIONALITY OF GOD

What God has in store for us far exceeds what we can achieve on our own, it goes beyond our wildest imagination, those desires in us to achieve great things are product of the great things God has placed inside us but because we have not sort Him, we try to achieve these things based on what we see in the natural. We try to make sense of those things our spirit yearns for, we try to give them expression but we fail to go to Him that has put these things within us. You see people trying to achieve success in their careers, homes, businesses, academics, etc. thinking they will find true fulfillment. They dream of owning big companies, hoping to find fulfillment because they think that is the best way to get true fulfillment but every time a target is met a new one is created, yet the fulfillment they seek seems to elude them. All of creation seeks this fulfillment the creator has created and placed within them. Romans 8:19 says, “For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for t

IT'S NOT WORTH IT: STOP LOOKING BACK

Hello my beloved saints, I welcome you to the month of December in the name of Jesus. May the Lord who has brought you this far take you farther and cause you to see and experience His glory in this new month in Jesus name. I will be sharing with you on what I titled “Stop Looking Back.” The Bible made us to understand that as Christians we are in a race, 1st Corinthians 9:24, "Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain" . We are in a race and we must end up well, one thing we must do and consistently do is to stop looking back at our past, at our old lifestyle. No Christian can ever come to his or her place of victory in the Kingdom who consistently stays in his or her past. His or her past pleasures, failures, defeat, pain, lust, unforgiveness etc. It is one trap of Satan to keep a believer from making tangible progress. There is a profound statement made by our Lord Jesus which we must take to heart because
