Greeting to my readers,
I must salute you amazingly, for making life on the hive family an amazing one for me, its been lovely all the way, being here has actually opened up my eye to see more than i saw in the past, it has also activated creative abilities within my inside to find expression.
While taking thought through this subject, my mind journeyed into time in search of valid truth of how the journey of man began, in my search, I was privilege to go through many documents that has facts and give details of the journey of man from the beginning but in my opinion I see the Holy book, the Bible, to give an absolute truth that has a witness with my spirit on the subject of consideration. I don’t intend to be biased but I will be making many reference to the Holy as we engage the subject of confederation. I will also do well to maximize the privilege of many translation in other to simplify and make simple the subject of consideration.
Greatness
Greatness is an inherent potentials in every man, under the surface of the earth, No man was design to be less privileged, man at creation was created perfect, nothing lacking, nothing missing, man began to operate at the frequency of the divine design and plans, Its was very easy to operate in the capacity of God and in the likeness of him that was in the beginning, I will be sharing few thing from the book of the beginning (Genesis 1: 26-28,)
And God said let us make man in our image, after our likeness; and let them have dominion over the fishes of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
And God blessed them and God said unto them, be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and have dominion over the t=fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth
We see in the above narratives that the concept of man’s creation, was exclusively the mind and the will of God, Man did not play any role in the idea and the completion of the project. I did say that greatness is inherent in every MAN that is both male and female.
You will agree with me that God in the Excellency of his wisdom, power and of his fullness, God spoke into man at creation, the fivefold Blessing that is domiciled in every man, every man born by a woman into the earth was designed to operate in this fivefold blessing but man fall from becoming who and what God has destined man to be just by accepting the deception of the devil.
How did this happen
We also see in the Holy Book (The Bible) The journey of man and also the fall of man and how it played out, The male man was put in the garden and given the responsibility of managing the garden as the husband man, He was the king and principal governing factor in the garden, We saw greatness as God spoke into man began to play out, the dimension of Gods likeness began to play out, so God presented to the male man (Adam), all the animals in the world, to test the creative dimension of man’s greatness, as we can see, as narrated in the bible, that Adam gave them names, (Genesis 2: 19-20)
and out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowls of the air, and brought them unto Adam to see what he will call them; and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof. And Adam gave names to all the cattle of the field and the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him.
and the name that Adam gave all animals, from that day have so remain till date, that was to show to man the height of greatness that have been inputted into man, man by default also possessed that same dimension of Gods power at creation and can create just as God did in the beginning but the whole problem of man began when deception came into the garden through the stranger, (the devil).
The fall of man from greatness
The journey of the fall of man, began when Deception was introduced to the world, if you carefully check through the second chapter of Genesis in the bible, you will see how God gave man code of conduct of operation within the walls of the garden. There were dose and don’t and the journey was smooth until an help meet was given to him.
One day in the garden the stranger (the old serpent) walked into the garden and initiated a conversation with the female man, asking her what God had said about the consumption of the trees in the garden. (Genesis 3: 1-6.)
Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made, And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?. And the woman said unto the serpent, we may eat of the fruit of the trees in the garden. But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye should not eat of it , neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. And the serpent said unto the woman, ye shall not surely die: For 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. 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, thereof and did eat, and gave also to her husband with her; and he did eat.
This, already is a proven fact about success, it is true that success in life is anchored on principles, and at any point in time that the operational principle is faulted, success is thwarted or aborted when effectively engaged, will give desired result.
We see in that narratives how the old serpent came to the place were man was given to take charge of, He asked the female man what God had said about the fruit trees in the garden, after the female man had responded, the devil countered What God said, in Deception told her that God lied to them, he further added that God is selfish and that God knows that if they should eat of the tree, that they will be as wise as God is, knowing Good and evil.
The deception was that if you eat the fruit, you will have the knowledge of good and evil, but he did not give them the details of the good and the evil but just because she had of the knowledge, she accepted, and immediately the fruit became good and acceptable, pleasant to the eye. She did not know that because it is glittering, does not make it gold, The first thing the eye was open to see, was negative, Ohh, what a height of deception.
What is Deception?
Deception is act or statement that is misleading, it hides the truth and promotes a belief or concept that is not true, this is always done for personal gain, interest and advantage, and it causes someone to accept what is actually false as truth. The amazing thing about deception, when you sign in, is that you can’t see the end from the beginning, you will only see the inviting page of the journey but when you check into the details, you find out that there are many details than you saw at the beginning.
When the female man accepted the deception, she gave it to the male man, and they both took it, while she accepted to take the fruit, her interest was only on the physical display of the fruit, looking at that fact that it was pleasing to the eye, but at the moment she accepted the fruits, she also sign in for evil to come into the environment of man, the truth is that she did not back gain for that but unknown to her that everything evil was accepted alongside with that package, the very first lunching of the eye opening was to see their nakedness.
Deception brings a man from the realm of glory and greatness down to the realm of nakedness and humiliation. ** Deception; the fall of man from greatness to nakedness**, They ask how are the mighty fallen?; Solomon by the leading of the spirit said in (Proverbs 7:1-27).
My son, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with thee.
Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of thine eye. Bind them upon thy fingers, write them upon the table of thine heart. Say unto wisdom, Thou art my sister; and call understanding thy kinswoman:
That they may keep thee from the strange woman, from the stranger which flattereth with her words.
For at the window of my house I looked through my casement,
And beheld among the simple ones, I discerned among the youths, a young man void of understanding,
Passing through the street near her corner; and he went the way to her house,
In the twilight, in the evening, in the black and dark night:
And, behold, there met him a woman with the attire of an harlot, and subtil of heart.
(She is loud and stubborn; her feet abide not in her house:
Now is she without, now in the streets, and lieth in wait at every corner.)
So she caught him, and kissed him, and with an impudent face said unto him,
I have peace offerings with me; this day have I payed my vows.
Therefore came I forth to meet thee, diligently to seek thy face, and I have found thee.
I have decked my bed with coverings of tapestry, with carved works, with fine linen of Egypt.
I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.
Come, let us take our fill of love until the morning: let us solace ourselves with loves.
For the goodman is not at home, he is gone a long journey:
He hath taken a bag of money with him, and will come home at the day appointed.
With her much fair speech she caused him to yield, with the flattering of her lips she forced him.
He goeth after her straightway, as an ox goeth to the slaughter, or as a fool to the correction of the stocks;
Till a dart strike through his liver; as a bird hasteth to the snare, and knoweth not that it is for his life.
Hearken unto me now therefore, O ye children, and attend to the words of my mouth.
Let not thine heart decline to her ways, go not astray in her paths.
For she hath cast down many wounded: yea, many strong men have been slain by her.
Her house is the way to hell, going down to the chambers of death.
This is the first part of this article, I trust that God by His mercies will grant me grace to share also with us my revelation in the second part, we will be looking at Proverbs 7 and i trust that you will be blessed, Stay safe and be wise, the only way to the of great men is deception, you can only escape by wisdom and understanding. God bless you.
