Personally, i think there are lot of things you enjoy and appreciate as a result of association, friendship or relationship. For me, one of the things I enjoy most as a Christian is that chat and moment when you talk and chat with the holy spirit. I really don't seem to know why i enjoy it so much and then some people try to make him look like someone so far away, someone who is waiting to hit you at every junction. Anyway, my point is I have so much fun with him and I really don't know if its because of my personality ( I LOVE HUMOUR), maybe holy spirit is humorous too.
Here is the gist, if you ever scrolled through the Bible for more than 20 minutes or listened to religious teachings from one source or the other, the fall of Man wouldn't sound absolutely strange to your hearings, in fact to your earrings too (winks). Here is the fun part and hopefully this document or blog doesn't fall into the hands of a "Phd Spiritual Student" who has mastered the skills of fellowship with God and relationship with God and can even quote the remaining part of Revelation 23 (haha).
Down to the story now, i hear the Devil saying everyday in the city of earth " Who Lied ?" and am very very serious here. Every blessed day (don't check your calendar cos all days are blessed). Let's start with my father or your father or the Father of Creation or whatever you call him Adam God. I have a feeling his Surname was God (don't laugh). Yes! Adam the husband of Eve, Adam the main man in Genesis 2 vs 25 (the naked but shameless man).
Now, when God arrived in the garden, they ended up running and hiding like He(God) didn't know before time; they flopped. This is the intriguing conversation;
GOD: Adam mi, where you dey oooo?
GOD: Abi this people don go pluck fruit ni?
(40 seconds later)
GOD: Adammmmu, where art thou now?
(Adam talking with Eve)
ADAM : You see what you have done now abi?
EVE : What's it now? Did i force you or did i open your mouth ni?
ADAM : ehhh ehhhh!!! Okay, i would answer Him(GOD) now and you will see what i will do.
(06 seconds later)
GOD: Adam!!!
ADAM : Yes Lord /Oga on top am here Sir!
GOD: Where are you?
ADAM: Ah, God i heard your voice and i had to go arrange myself oooo.
GOD: WHAT!!! DID YOU EAT THE FRUIT I SAID YOU SHOULDN'T?
(Adam talking with Eve)
ADAM: ehh! ehh!! I will show you now who i am. You! You!! You had the Guts to say "What's it now? Did i force you or did i open your mouth ni?"
EVE: Answer God, he is talking to you jor and do whatever you wanna do jor.
(Adam talking with God)
GOD: I SAID DID YOU EAT THE FRUIT I SAID YOU SHOULDN'T?
ADAM: (NOT EXACTLY)- It's the woman you gave me oo/ Na the woman wey you give me ooo
(GOD talking with Eve)
GOD: Eve, what happened?
EVE: Yes i did but it's because the serpent deceived me.
Oh! That Adam (Mtchew! that Adam that led to the introduction of clothes and i need to spend money on cloth. Mtchew! once again Mtchew!). Well, sorry if that's what you feel but this is what i see clearly. The conversation pretty ended there and God dished out his punishment because he is MASTER of all things. I say that because mankind had began a permutation game on the Almighty there and if the conversation extended to the serpent, it would probably have a reason too.
Now, i know i have abused our friendship by making you read so much without much of the main subject matter but hang on please, am saving the best for the last. Scientist tell us how much threat the earth is faced with by the fast degrading Ozone layer and most industries or reasonable industries are migrating to green technology or whatever you call it - its shall green something. Our society is equally fast degrading but we are not swift to upgrade ooooo. You only need to tune to a news station and you would justify my last statement.
The conversation would have ended with the serpent talking about it been told by Eve that they would die but he was sure they wouldn't die and in fact, probably would have said " God, here i present to you Mr and Mrs Adam God" still living after disobedience or after the fruit. The story here is not the humour i have professed all day long, it's rather the ratting of the Devil in the affairs of man saying "Who Lied?".
At least, they didn't die - sorry Mr Man because Death doesn't mean you have a tomb and your name craved somewhere. At least, pornography is not sex before marriage -sorry Mrs Woman you are playing with fire. At least, the government allows it - sorry Mr Rationalist, every man would answer alone on the judgement day. At least, you still hear God - sorry Mrs Backslider, you will start hearing mixed voice.
At least, its logical - sorry Mr Natural Man, you cant fathom God out with your mind, its too small. At least, i can drink some alcohol - sorry Mr Just A Little Sin, Addiction doesn't have a special Cloth.
Eventually, you would discover only few people would meet the Devil with two(2) horns as pictorially painted because he is on the street say "Who Lied" and with a lovely accent and perfect dentition from nations to nations. And just for the record on the Judgement day (which would come), he would still say to God " Who Lied? Who Fornicated? Who Killed? Who Steals?" because he's master his craft.
The good news is that Grace is available in the name of Jesus over all your issues and troubles and tribulation. The society is challenged and highly sick this days - you can see it from the decisions of policy/law makers but there is a fountain and standard that has stood through all of this tribulation and challenged walls, it's the standards and the word of God. Receive Jesus today. (I can't help but mention that).
--- By the way, i used that funny African accent/expression and language because i can relate with Men(People) giving excuses and perhaps, the way I sense the story, people giving excuse, and blah blah blah besides, who know what Country Adam came from (Dont lie before someone says Who Lied?---
