WHO TOLD YOU?

Sometime ago,my friends and I were discussing and sharing the word together. As we discussed, someone raised a question. He asked:"How did Satan passed the sin nature to Adam and Eve?"
We all got quiet, trying to brainstorm on the thought provoking question. Then someone broke the ice and answered thus:"maybe Satan in the form of serpent slept with Eve and transferred the sin nature to her."

Almost simultaneously, someone else replied saying:"no,I think the sin nature was passed to them the moment they ate the forbidden fruit."
Even though we didn't get to the end of our discussion as to what the answer truly was,I left that place with a desire to search out the matter.

Now,If you carefully read the third chapter of the book of Genesis, you'll discover that the sin nature was passed simply through words. O yeah. It was possible for Eve to be deceived by Satan because she doubted God's word. Satan questioned the word given to them and then openly contradicted it!

The moment they believed, accepted and acted on the voice of Satan,his nature was imparted to them.
In the same vein, the moment we believe, accept and act on the word of God's salvation,His nature is imparted to us(See Romans10:9-10)

Recall God's question to Adam immediately after his crime of high treason. God asked Adam saying:"who told thee that thou was naked"(Genesis 3:11).
It matters who you listen to in your life! Remember, all creation have a voice. And they are speaking everyday. Everyday we hear voices from our environment, devil, media. And these voices impart fear. Only God's word impart faith. It matters the voice you are listening to.

When you listen to(i.e,believe and accept and act upon) any other voice except God's voice, failure and death is what result. Make up your mind as you journey into the new year 2017,that you'll give heed to God's only. For this is the key to absolute, lasting and unchanging success.

God bless you
