A Better Alternative

Genesis 3:7-21

Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God made coats of skins, and clothed them. (Verse 16-17)

When Adam and his wife Eve ate the forbidden fruit their eyes were opened and they immediately made fig leaves as their covering. From this it can be presumed that the first wisdom man sought after was faulty due to the fact that the first product of man after that wisdom was full of imperfections, the Bible said they sewed fig leaves to cover their nakedness. The devil deceived them into believing that they are lesser than God and the fruit will upgrade them to God’s level, they took the fruit all to discover that the purported wisdom was after all foolishness, the devil kept the part when God said “And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish 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” Genesis 1:26. Form Adam and his wife. Usually this is what the devil do to keep man from God’s original plan.

When God came down to chat with them, he found them in a much lesser state compared to what they used to be. God himself then provided a better alternative of covering by making a garment from skin. Has it ever occurred to us that no man has ever been able to successfully make clothing or covering of leaves that will last? But man has been able to improve on skin (Leather). Have you tried dressing up with leaves before? Have you been dressed up in leaves all your life? Then come to the master designer for an alternative covering, Jesus is calling you to leave that Ghetto life and mentality and move to the Guest mansion today, listen to the call.

      There were many flaws in the first product of man after he sinned which are; (1) Leaves will dry up and wither in a matter of days while Leather lasts for years (the older the stronger) (2) Leaves are rough and an imperfect form of covering but Leather is smooth and neat (3) Leaves takes time to be converted into clothing and ends up a waste after a few weeks but Leather lasts longer and is useful. (4)Leaves cannot protect man from cold weather but it is a known fact that the commonly used material against cold is Leather clothing. (5) Leaves are time/season bound but Leather can be gotten any time of the season.

MEMORY VERSE: Proverbs 3:15 “Trust in the LORD with all your Heart and lean not on your own understanding” 

PRAYER:  Dear Lord, help me to lean on you all the days of my life for your divine instructions and leading. (AMEN)
