GARMENTS

Text: Genesis 2:25

And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.

The testimony of Adam and Eve was that they were both naked; and the man and his wife were not ashamed. Gen. 2:25. This simply show that they had no physical clothes on. But that does not mean they were not clothed in some other way. They were actually clothed with God's glory. That was the reason they could see their nakedness(which they did not see earlier) immediately after they ate from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Gen. 3:7. Before they ate from the forbidden tree, they did not see nakedness and there was no shame.

After the fall, all they got was nakedness and shame. This is simply because God's glory had departed. When God's glory is taken off a man, no matter the cost of the attire he is putting on, such a man is prone to nakedness and shame. Such one is naked of God's coverings. Adam and Eve's clothes which was God's glory was taken away the very moment they set their teeth on the forbidden fruit. They blew up the great privilege and opportunity that God gave to man. It is the privilege of wearing the same clothe with God. God's clothing is light. The light is His glory that He wrapped the first man with. "you are wrapped in light like a garment, stretching out the sky like a curtain."Psalm 104:2

When Adam lost his first clothing which is God's light(God's glory), he quickly became a fashion designer. He used fig leaves to sow coverings for himself and his wife. Can you imagine the height that man fell from. May the Lord Himself deal with all the symptoms of nakedness and Shame in your life in the name of Jesus.

The effects of  Adam and Eve's nakedness and Shame, is still with man till date. Many believers are also still trapped under this consequence. But Jesus had paid the price?, you may wish to ask. Yes, He has paid it in full. That is the reason you must embrace the Rest he's offering you (Mathew 11:28-29). 

The reason we wear certain clothes, is no longer to cover ourselves but to prove a point. That proving of a point, is what shows the presence of shame and nakedness on your inside(in your soul). 

Take for instance, if you decide to buy an apparel that is worth thousands of dollars, you will always seek for an opportunity to let people know the worth. Until people know the worth of the material, you will never be at peace. This is because you are seeking for the covering of your true nakedness. Man have been walking about in spiritual nakedness, and that's the reason for materialism. Man gather all manner of things to cover up for his nakedness. Meanwhile the real nakedness on his inside is left unattended to.

May you find help before the Lord for true coverings in Jesus name.

Bible reading: Gen. 2:25, 3:1-11

 Prayer Points 
1. Father I ask that you open my eyes so as to see areas of my life where I am suffering from nakedness and shame.

2. Lord, I humbly receive your garment of Glory and Light in the place of garment of shame.

3. Lord, help me to put off every garment that is not bringing glory to your name.

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portray...

IT IS WRITTEN AGAIN

Text: Matthew 4:6. He told Jesus, “Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, because it is written,   ‘God will put his angels in charge of you,’ and,   ‘With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.’ Jesus knocked devil off with "it is written" when he came to him with the first temptation. So, the devil too decided to use "it is written" for Jesus for the second temptation.  Don't be deceived, the devil knows the scriptures too. Second Corinthians 11:14 says,  "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." So, it's no surprise when you see Satan's messengers masquerading themselves as Apostle of Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:14.  The word of God is perfect. Yet, many people can twist it to their advantage and ultimately to their disadvantage. A drunk, smoker, fornicator, liar and all sort can justify their sinful lifestyles with a Bible verse. See to it that you do not twist the word of Go...

IN MY NAME.

Text : Mark 16:17-18  And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. Having believed in the gospel (Good news of the resurrection of Jesus and His victory over Sin, Satan and Death), you now need to start using the name of Jesus authoritatively. JESUS said that in His name you shall cast out devils; you shall speak with new tongues; you shall take up serpents; and if you drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt you; you shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. This means that you will undertake all these in the authority of Jesus' name. No matter how small or powerless you may think you are in your own eyes. Once you believe in His name, you shall do all that He promised.   Unbelief was the sin that Israelites committed that wasted a whol...
