(Please note that this is a continuation from the previous week's update.)
Man is the one WHO RUN THE WORLD - till he fell.
The fall of man was in this wise: “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 good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.”
Now, read carefully, and you can complete the chapter. You will not find in this chapter or anywhere in the Bible where the name of any fruit was mentioned as what Adam and Eve ate to disobey God.
Many have erroneously said they ate an apple. In truth it was not a fruit or any other food they ate. There is no food in the world that can break the relationship between man and God. For that was what happened after the fall.
Listen to Jesus: “...Hear, and understand: Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.”
“But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man.” (Matthew
An extensive teaching on how man fell is beyond the scope of this teaching, but for the purpose of moving on, understand that man’s fall was because he believed the deception of the devil over the truth that God presented to him.
When man believed the devil over God, he sinned. To sin is to miss the mark, to miss God. And to miss God is to fall short of the glory of God. To fall short of the glory of God is to come under the bondage of sin and death. The devil was the one that had the power of death. So, man was in bondage to the power of the devil. (Romans 3:23, Hebrews 2:14-15).
At that moment of man’s fall, he lost his patent right or dominion over the earth and this led to the devil “running the world”.
Dede: Okay. Okay. This is all new for me. It's a lot to take in. But man lost it didn't he? So why are you still laying the blame on us?
Adren: I must confess, this is deep but I’m kind of curious tho’ .How does man take charge once again? How can he be restored to the state God created him? How can he operate in dominion?
