In the book of Genesis, when God created the
first man and woman and put them in the Garden of Eden, He gave them a
definite instruction and command that they should eat every other tree
in the Garden but the particular one in the middle of the Garden, they
should NOT eat it! That any day they ate it they would die. Gen 2:15-17.
The fruit of that tree was a forbidden fruit to our Ancestors - Adam
and Eve. But they failed to keep the command and eventually ate the
forbidden fruit and consequently they fell from the grace! They fell
from the grace and were separated from the life of God and so they were
driven from the Garden of Eden! Now, what is the forbidden tree (fruit)
in our generation today? Many will say today that if they were Adam and
Eve, they would have disciplined themselves and not had eaten the
forbidden fruit! And that they would have kept God's commandant. But
here it is vital to note that the same command that was given to our
early father and mother before they failed to keep it is also here with
us in this generation in the form of the commandments He has given in
His word that we should keep! When the man fell from the grace, God did
not leave him in that fallen State. He made provision to cover his
nakedness.
Gen 3:21.
Later the Father God sent His only begotten Son,
Jesus Christ, to come into this world to restore man to his original
position. John 3:16. Now God has given His commandments to us to keep
just as He gave it to Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. That we should
not commit sins. And these sins are well spelt out for everyone to
know. These sins He told us NOT to commit, such as fornication,
covetousness, idolatry, pride, to mention a few, represent the forbidden
tree in our generation today. So the forbidden tree in our time
includes all kinds of sins that God says we should desist from.
These
include - Adultery and fornication, polygamy, hating one another,
keeping malice, indecent dressing in the Church, patronizing items of
darkness, telling lies, drug pushing, money laundering, stealing of
Government money, murder etc. All these and many more are forbidden
fruit in our generation that we should stop eating if we must be
acceptable before God. As Adam and Eve fell from the grace because they
could not keep the commandments of God so also anyone who commits any of
those sins God has warned humanity Never to commit will also fall from
the great grace that God has lifted us to through the accomplishment of
Christ on the cross of calvary! This is a deep exposition and revelation
for those who are heavenly minded! Therefore stop saying that if you
were Adam and Eve, you would not have eaten the forbidden tree because
the same forbidden fruit is with you now in the form of those things God
says you should Not do.
That is, any time you do those things that are
contrary to the word of God or to His commandments you are eating the
forbidden fruit! Note, the devil has packaged the forbidden fruit of our
generation in different shapes and models, looking very attractive and
appealing just to deceive humanity of our time as he did to our
Ancestors! Be careful and vigilant. Any time you commit sin you are
eating the forbidden tree of our generation. End of message. Pls share
this expository message to your neighbours and everyone around you to
save them from Continuing to eat the forbidden fruit ignorantly or
unknown to them! Thank you very much and God shall bless you richly in
Jesus Mighty Name. Amen!
