What manner of fruit have you eaten?

Fruits are the sweet and fleshly product of a tree or other plants that contain seed and can be eaten as food.

They are also important source of vitamins and carbohydrates like fiber and sugar. Fruits are ordinarily meant to add nutrients and also to nourish our health for proper functioning, to build our immune system against infections and diseases, to repair our body tissues and to improve our overall well being.

For the sake of your soul which happens to be the most important to GOD, I will want to share this divine inspiration on the implication of the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil that Adam and Eve ate in the Garden of Eden at the beginning of human existence. Sincerely, I don’t intend telling a story but I want to point us to the saying of Jesus Christ which I sense is very related and indeed a restoration, instruction and command to live above the carnality we inherited from Adam and Eve base on the” knowledge” and the eye opening they suddenly garnered due to the forbidden fruit that they ate.

I will like to declare the words of Jesus in Matthew 18:2-3 “JESUS CALLED A LITTLE CHILD TO HIM AND PUT THE CHILD AMONG THEM, THEN HE SAID, “I TELL YOU THE TRUTH, UNLESS YOU TURN FROM YOUR SINS AND BECOME LIKE LITTLE CHILDREN, YOU WILL NEVER GET INTO THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN”

Adam and his dear wife never felt ashamed of their nakedness until they ate the forbidden fruit, they were not “sensible enough” to know that they needed to hide from God, they were not wise enough to know how to meet themselves to bear children, they were not as wise, knowing how to till the ground. I wonder how they knew that leaf from a tree could cover their nakedness and many more things they suddenly became a genius about even when they had not been taught by anyone.

You can imagine your life today, you seldom knows all that is good for you  “even beyond what God knows about us”… none of us wants to fall short of men’s standard and praise, none of us like to be embarrassed or face any shame even if it be for Christ. We have all become professors knowing what is best and good for us, what normally should not cause us shame has become a matter to cover, because of this we are all running a rat race to pursue vanity and frivolities.

In the days of Adam he had no ambition other than to tend the garden God has given him, he was so childish in heart that all he cared about was to flourish and enjoy the pleasure of where God has placed him… In our own days we know the wife that is good for us, we rub after fashion more than God, everyone has turned to men’s pleasers rather than the pleaser of God, the work of God is of no great importance to us than our own ambitions and personal visions…. Agape love seems to be far from us and sex has become one of the major reasons that we all wants to marry, we are not even sincere as to face God with our nakedness, we cover up before men and also before God. Everyone has almost become a hypocrite.

To conclude this piece, please let us reconsider the exhortation of JESUS CHRIST; becoming a child again, assuming to know nothing, presenting yourself as an infant without understanding, but trusting the lord on all areas of our life, this remains the only way to go far in our walk with the Lord and to find real fulfillment and accomplishment.
