Disobedience Is Destructive (Genesis 3)

City Pastor's Teachings
Many of us have heard or read this, “The wage of sin is death”- that’s very
true.
Let me also tell you that disobedience is destructive and can also lead to death if you fail to change and repent on time.
In the very beginning of the world after God had created the man and formed a wife for him from his own bone (Read the importance of a partner). The Lord God then put the man and his wife in the Garden of Eden.
The Garden of Eden is God’s original plan for the man He created, where he would live and bear children and dominate the world.

Dangers of Murmuring and Complaining
In the Garden of Eden, there was everything and everything there was good.
Having placed the man there, the Lord God instructed him and his wife not to eat from a particular tree which was named “Tree of life and knowledge”. The tree was located at the middle of the garden.
The tree of knowledge will open the man’s eyes then he will become as creative as the Almighty God Himself, that’s why today man keeps advancing in wisdom, he can invent things. He has continuously advanced technologically since the days of Garden of Eden.

Beware of Pastors
If the man had eaten the fruit from the tree of life, he would have lived forever, no man would have died, but the serpent who was described as shrewd (something or someone that is very intelligent, good at judging situations and likely to be right).
He deceived the woman who also deceived the man that God made. And they both ate from the tree of knowledge. As soon as they ate this fruit, they became wise and their eyes opened and they noticed they were naked.
Once God realized that the man, He made was now wise and the next thing he would do will be to eat from the fruit of life and live forever, God banished him from the Garden and so he no longer had access to the tree of life.

The Commandments of God You MUST Keep To Be Successful
If they had first eaten the fruit of life, possibly they could have lived forever even if man had been banished from the garden. But because man ate from the fruit of knowledge, he is knowledgeable and capable of creating things, he could have been able to also create man if he had eaten from the fruit of life.
To prevent man from becoming God, God banished him from the garden and cursed him, that was the beginning of curses, almost from the very beginning of time, and that was the beginning of death.
Genesis 3:16-19: “Then He said to the woman, “I will sharpen the pain of your pregnancy, and in pain you will give birth. And you will desire to control your husband, but he will rule over you.”
“And to the man he said, “Since you listened to your wife and ate from the tree whose fruit I commanded you not eat, the ground is cursed because of you. All your life you will struggle to scratch a living from it.

“It will grow thorns and thistles for you, though you will eat of its grains.
“By the sweat of your brow will you have food to eat until you return to the ground from which you were made. For you were made from dust, and to dust you will return.”
Every human being born of a woman is under this curse and it is only through the intervention of Jesus Christ that you can be free from the curse.

That’s why a man will toil and go through all sorts of pains before making it
in life, but he will still die at a certain age. Because Adam and his wife
disobeyed God.
