// READ: GEN. 2:8-17 //
8 Now the Lord God had planted a garden in the east, in Eden; and there he put the man he had formed. 9 The Lord God made all kinds of trees grow out of the ground—trees that were pleasing to the eye and good for food. In the middle of the garden were the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
10 A river watering the garden flowed from Eden; from there it was separated into four headwaters. 11 The name of the first is the Pishon; it winds through the entire land of Havilah, where there is gold. 12 (The gold of that land is good; aromatic resin[a] and onyx are also there.) 13 The name of the second river is the Gihon; it winds through the entire land of Cush.[b] 14 The name of the third river is the Tigris; it runs along the east side of Ashur. And the fourth river is the Euphrates.
15 The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it. 16 And the Lord God commanded the man, “You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; 17 but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat from it you will certainly die.”
MEDITATION:
The Lord made some preparations for man in order to be able to execute His divine programme of God. As a man you need to release your life to Christ so that you will be able to access divine operations in your life.
These are the prepations of God for the first man;
i. God formed Man Vs7
ii. God made a garden for man Vs8
iii. God gave man assignments Vs 15
iv. God gave man Commandments Vs17
v. God made help for man vs 18
Prayer: Oh Lord, I receive in full all that have prepared for me to serve well in Jesus name.
