TEXT: GENESIS 3:3-6
4And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
5For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
6And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.
Key Verse: “And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat” (Genesis 3:6)
MESSAGE:
Mom has warned Tema to be very careful with the gas cooker. “It is better you don’t touch it at all if you cannot exercise enough patience to wait and close the control knobs tightly” she said.
It was a sad mistake that morning that Tema finished frying her pancake and hurried away, leaving the control loosely closed. The consequences of her mistake remain the saddest memory for Mrs. Anson’s family.
Did it ever occur to Eve how far the effect of her action will go? She thought of her own temporary pleasure without realizing what the consequences of her action would be. This is always the case when children choose to be selfish.
What was the result of Eve’s disobedience? First, her husband, followed by her immediate children, and finally, the whole of humanity became corrupted and separated from God, their Creator.
