An Angelic Devotional for Thu 21 Oct 2021
Topic: Forbidden Fruit
Highlights:
If only you had paid attention to my commands, your peace would have been like a river, your well-being like the waves of the sea. Isaiah 48:18
There have been prophecies about Jesus The Messiah. Everyone was happy by the time he was born. Not until after some time of His life He realized that He will have to die to save humanity... Jesus humbly accepted the task and obeyed God and today He is the Prince of Peace.
What is the difference? Adam was the first man. He was not asked to die but only that he would not eat from a forbidden tree in the garden. Adam could not obey this task and he was sent out of the garden to the ghetto and hustle life. He did not have peace after the disobedience.
On each of our way to obedience, there lies the forbidden fruit and the slippery serpent who is the marketer. If you escape the forbidden fruit, you must also strive to escape the serpent because all that the serpent does is for people to eat the forbidden fruit and lose out of the race.
Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. 1 Corinthians 9:24
I don’t know about you, but I’m running hard for the finish line. I’m giving it everything I’ve got. No sloppy living for me! I’m staying alert and in top condition. I’m not going to get caught napping, telling everyone else all about it and then missing out myself.
1 Corinthians 9:26-27 MSG
Prayer: Father Lord, please give me the power to win in line with obedience to your authority. Guide me to focus and remain fit in your paradise. Protect me from the slimy serpent in Jesus name. Amen
