Topic: IT IS YOU, NOT ADAM

MEMORIZE: “When a righteous man turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and dieth in them; for his iniquity that he hath done shall he die.” Ezekiel 18:26

SCRIPTURE READING: John 3:16-18

“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. "For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. "He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.”

EXPOSITION:

There was a man in the ancient time, he was always found crying saying, Adam has done this! Adam has done this!! He always blame Adam for his poverty, affliction and predicament. One day, a rich man saw him and decided to change his life for better. He brought him into a mansion, changed his raiment, gave him money, he was living well. He never missed any of his three square meals. He was living well and soon forgot his former life. But his benefactor gave him a warning; “I give you all the mansion to use it as it pleases you”, he then pointed to a particular room and said, “Do not ever enter into this room, because there is a secret I kept there.”

This man obeyed his benefactor for three years. Thereafter, he began to be curious about what could be the secret in that room. To satisfy himself, he opened the room when he thought the man would not know. As he entered, he found his old clothe of poverty and immediately his benefactor came behind him. He said, Haven’t I told you that you should not enter this room? Is there anything you lack since I brought here? The man responded, Nothing, sir! His benefactor said, what you want to see is your old life. Therefore, pick your clothe and wear it. And henceforth, never you say, “Adam is the cause” or “Adam has done this” as you used to claim. Adam is no longer the cause of your predicament, but you yourself. 

Even today, many of us do claim that “Adam is the cause”, but in reality, we are the cause of our sorrow and affliction as a result of our sins. God is able and ready to restore us to a well meaningful life but our pride, ingratitude, rebellion, disobedience, etc would not permit us to enjoy it for long. He has prepared eternal life for us upon condition of your faith in Jesus Christ as the Son of God and make Him your personal Saviour. Only those who believe in Him shall be given power to be called the sons of God. Many are serving God faithfully only when they were poor. But when they were blessed, they became promiscuous, multiplying wives/husbands; joined cults, etc. Adam is not the cause of your fallen, but you yourself.

PRAYER POINT:
