Let open our Bible to the Book of Genesis 2:16-17
And the LORD God commanded the man, saying,
Of every tree of the garden thou mayest
freely eat:
But of the tree of the knowledge of the good and evil, thou
shalt not eat of it…
This world is full of ups and
downs, sorrows and joy, love and hatred. This world is indeed a mixture of
beauty and brokenness. People have change every second and minutes, you can’t
really know who is who, no wonder Apostle Paul said henceforth know we no man
after the flesh. Humans are mixture of dignity and degration.
We said we love God but only with
our lips but our heart is so so far from him, his truth and power. We believed
and worship what we know not. We worship the creature instead of the creator.
The LORD’s hand is not shortened that it cannot, neither is his ear heavy that
he cannot hear. But iniquities have separated between us and our God and our
sin have hid his face from us, that he
will not hear. A lot of people have sold their souls to what they know not and
then walk in darkness, allowing sickness, disappointment, pains and tears to be
part of their lives.
What a privilege we have to be
created in the image of God. We may not fully know the cost to God decision to
bring into being a creation, a universe, and order of moral beings outside of
him. Within their own Trinitarian life Father, Son and Holy Spirit lived in
eternal blessedness a life complete and unmixed with sorrows. But with the
decision to create there was decision to open up that life to suffering and
rejection as the cause of sharing their eternal blessedness with others.
In the above scripture that we
read, have you noticed that it is God who set the prohibition? It is God that
says what is good and what is evil.
Beloved brothers and sisters, we
are given a wide area of freedom, freedom to explore the world, develop it
potentials and to make decisions for ourselves. The choice of what is evil and
good were not given, that the decision mad for us by God our creator, he
defines good and evil by what he is. He set the limit of our moral life by his own law.
Beloved, God is the standard for
all moral Good and the source of moral absolute. His character and his will are final authority.
Beloved, we are living in the
generation where people increasingly want to change their morality, make their
own rules and regulations. Everybody wants to be in control. We are busy
walking against the will of God.
It is written woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put
darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet
for bitter.
We enjoyed listening to the voice
of the world more than the voice of God.
Listen to this in Genesis 3:1 ;
Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God
hath made. And he said unto the woman, yea, hath god said, Ye shall not eat of
every tree of the garden?
Beloved, have you noticed anything in the
above scripture? The serpent “slander
“God? Representing God as ungenerous and unreasonable. Did you see how the
serpent tackle the woman with the question? Creating the impression that God is
spiteful mean, obsessively jealous and self protective.
Beloved, this is exactly what is
going on in our daily lives by refusing to acknowledge God’s daily
goodness kindness and mercies but at all
time blame Him for our lives frustration, disappoint and failures.
I want to remind you that no matter who is advising you negatively, you still have the final power to decide
whether to do the wrong or the right, good or evil.
Work out your salvation with fear
and trembling.
My question now is:
- Beloved, have you in any ways, at any time slander the voice of God in your life?
- How have you been listening to that is affecting you negatively?
- Have you ignored, despised and defied God’s Word in your life?
feel free to ask questions
we appreciate your
comments and please tell your friends about this blog and you will be

The fruit of the righteous is a tree
of life; and he that winneth souls is wise. Prov.11:30.
So mightily grew the word of God and
prevailed. Act. 19:20
Thank you!
The truth is that we have in one way or the other, slandered the voice of God while speaking to us. This is a sin many of us Christians are guilty of. May this message bring a turning point in our lives IJN - Amen
