The first man
Adam,
gives us all a basic understanding on whom man prefers to please first and foremost. If
you thought it was women well youre spot on, exactly right!
The decision that Adam made in the garden of Eden wasnt only
and solely to please the women but there was also something in it for him
hence there was a selfish streak there as well as a
disobedient streak found in the first man
Adam!
Therefore,
I dare say that when we are born, that is everyone that comes from the womb of a
women
we have deposited in us all, the instinct to look after number one
that is me!
Are Christians and
leaders of churches today in Australia more like the first Adam or the second
Adam?
me or Him?
AND
SO IT IS WRITTEN
THE FIRST MAN ADAM BECAME A LIVING BEING
THE LAST ADAM BECAME A
LIFE GIVING SPIRIT
THE FIRST MAN WAS OF THE EARTH MADE OF DUST, THE SECOND MAN IS THE
LORD FROM HEAVEN......1
CORINTHIANS 15:45,47.
Now
I know why I used to sing My old mans
a dustman he wears a dustmans hat! Before I met Jesus that was one of my
top ten when I used to crawl home from the local pub
GODS GRACE IS AMAZING!
Most professing
Christians and church leaders today still behave as the sons of men rather than the sons
of GOD. The first Adam offers a tastier road, with less conflict. Disobedience always
brings an easier flesh life and a dead spiritual life but obedience to GOD will
always without fail place you in the presence of the ALMIGHTY. Jesus was known as the Son
of Man!
would we rather follow man or the Son of Man?...1 SAMUEL
12:12.
If
you want to follow Jesus The Son of Man
you must put your wife and yourself in second
place and third place respectively
this is a
hard thing to do without faith!
Selah.
FOR
YOU ARE ALL SONS OF GOD THROUGH FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS...GALATIANS
3:26.
Only a true son of GOD
puts all their trust in what the Bible says and lives accordingly, without partiality!
CURSED
IS THE MAN WHO TRUSTS IN MAN AND MAKES MAN HIS STRENGTH
WHOSE HEART DEPARTS FROM THE
LORD.......JEREMIAH 17:5.
Self-pleaser, man
pleaser, woman pleaser or GOD pleaser? Enoch had this testimony, he pleased GOD!
AND
HE IS THE HEAD OF THE BODY, THE CHURCH WHO IS THE BEGINNING, THE FIRSTBORN FROM THE
DEAD
THAT IN ALL THINGS
HE MAY HAVE THE PRE-EMINENCE...COLOSSIANS
1:18.
