[There are] many devices in a man’s heart (Proverbs 19:21)

1)            Mankind, through Adam, was being warned against psychic debilitation when the LORD God told him “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” (Genesis 2:17). Many times, we are about to break into irredeemable pieces but we just do not see it. Many times, the venture of human embarkation is an absolute fruitlessness but something just makes sure awareness is disrupted. Psychological effects are the offspring of psychological warfare of Lucifer’s launch. Did God make man to fail? He would not have created Adam in His own Image if Adamic design was billed to hit the rocks. The Image of the Godhead is the Christ. To guarantee the perfection of the Adamic reality of God’s mind, the LORD God refused to create Adam a mere robot.

Jehovah wanted someone His Divinity could gregariously relate to, who would, from the core of his spirituality, engage intelligibly with the Creator Himself. Therefore, God did not only fashion his existence soulishly, He put, as an adornment, the eternality of His Image in the spirit He breathed into him. The word of God says, “And man became a living soul,” not a mere zoetic, Eden treading Adam, but an intelligent, discoursing, rational creature. So that God can reach out to him in Isaiah, “Come let us reason together,” in gregariousness: Creator and the created. God’s Adamic elevation is a free moral agent with full responsibility.

“Adam where art thou?”

It would, definitely, be mere cartoonistic puerility for the Almighty LORD God to visit Eden, all the way from the third heaven, with the troubling, “Adam where art thou?” Adam, (was not more than one day old when he was created) having been created on the sixth; he was the lord of the entire earth, perfect in knowledge. When he popped open his eyes for the first time, he knew Who was before him; he could understand, without going through any written manual, the language spoken to him and the perfect intelligent response to what God communicated to him – gregariousness. He was already an adult the very second he became a living soul. The question now is why he dropped the ball.

In the psychic of his intelligent understanding dwell the oracle of the Most High. He was the prophet, priest and sovereign entity of the earth. Why he did not stop his wife from plucking the annihilative fruit probably means he did not see her making her path to the tree of forbidden edibility. Why Adam the male was not appalled at the offer of the evil fruit could stem from some facts. Without a doubt the sovereign head of humanity knew that his wife had bitten, teeth-ground and swallowed the forbidden fruit. He knew that what sat or stood before him, making offering in disobedience, was a walking cadaver.

Adam took a rash decision in taking the fruit

Could he not have waited till the cool of the evening when the LORD God walked into the Garden of Eden, to present his exclusion in the original sin? Probably running through the mind of her husband was, “Jesus, how can this paragon of beauty go to waste,” which could, probably, never have been of Divine prompt. The Bible explicitly reveals in 1Timothy 2:14 “And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.” Sheer stupidity of wrongful use of Adam’s free moral agency plunged him into joining his wife in the transgression of disobedience. How did the Woman of Eden fall? She entertained the presence of whom she should not have welcomed. She did not show the strange words of this one, who should not be there, to her husband in whose care are the oracles of Divinity. The Woman warmed up to the serpent’s counterfactuality, which, in turn, caused an unbalanced psychical effect, spiritually, in her.

Genesis 3:6 “And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.” She was too anxious to climb on the pedestal of wisdom and the attendant fame: over her husband, even the head of the entire world. Worthy of ponder is the reason why she did not ensure that her husband, the head, should first taste of the forbidden fruit. The same spirit of selfishness that Lucifer bloated his angelic psyche in heaven was what the evil one injected into the reasoning faculty of the Woman who had warmed her spiritual self to the shenanigan of the strange serpent. Through only one road the Devil makes his devious way into our psyche as captured in the Pauline 2Corinthians 2:11 “Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.” The word ‘advantage’ is pleonekteō (pleh-on-cek-the’-o): ‘to have more, or a greater part or share; to be superior, excel, surpass.’

Come, follow JESUS CHRIST.

To get born again, say, believing every word of it, this prayer:

“Dear heavenly Father, I come to You now in the name of Jesus Christ. I believe in my heart that Jesus is the Son of God. I believe that Jesus died on the cross for my sin. I believe that You raised Him from the dead. I confess with my mouth that Jesus is Lord and I receive Him now as my Lord and my Saviour. I give God all the glory. Amen!”
