CLOTHING OUR unclothedness.

"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 unto her hisband with her and he did eat, and their eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked, and They Sewed fig leaves together and made themselves aprons" Gen 3:6,7.

Like  every other tree, in the garden of Eden, the tree of good and evil, was created on the fourth day, and Adam and eve must have been seing it and passing by it the entire time prior to the serpent talkshow.
However, when the devil came in, he painted a picture of a tree, that held the key the key to wisdom untold.

Eve then considered his options, considering the food aspect(physical wants, pleasantness to the eyes(lust and pleasures) and wisdom to be like God (power)
And succumbed to taking the bite that faulted mankind, on coming to  Adam, Adam swallowed both the devils lie, and the Apple, hook, line and sinker,  sinking us to our eternal woe.
To this, the bible has warned us never to try arguing with the devil, anytime he comes to us, the bible says "flee from him" however, most of us try reasoning with him, the truth is more times than not, we fail woefully and end up, falling for his tricks.
Hence, whenever the devil come to us, with promises of riches untold,  with promises of pleasures like never before, and power to do and undo, to this luscious apples we bite greedily with relish.and fall ungloriously.

Nakednes.
The bible says, that after eating of the tree and realizing their unclothedness, both Adam and eve, sewed fig leaves to cover their up,
Like we mostly do anytime we sin against God, we sew fig leaves of faulty reasonings like, "give to Caesar, Caesar's, and to God, He's." 'man have to do all he can to survive" we say, and we go about, croping up some faulty reasons as to why we did what we did, and why God should understand, when we should be asking for forgiveness.
The truth is, anytime we sin against God by contravening any of what he mandated of us  not to do, we loss the protection afforded us by his love, and we become vulnerable to all the devices of the wicked ones.
The bible has told us in, Provs. 28:13, that 'no one who covers up his/her sins would prosper'

To this end, Brothers and sisters, as humans, from time to time, we would fall into sin, however, whenever we slip and fall, we shouldn't attempt to justify why we sinned, by sewing up some skimpy, faulty reasons to hide under, rather we should go to God in humble supplication, as he has said in the Psalms "be yhe as red as crimson or black as soot(charcoal), i will make you whiter than snow.

So what is it that, you are trying to cover up ? What is it, that is hindering your spiritual prosperity?
Bring it to God today, saying this prayer,  "JESUS, I HAVE SINNED AGAINST YOU, PLEASE HAVE MERCY AND FORGIVE ME" as he is ever ready to cover our nakednes and vulnerability with his blood.
May God, forgive our sins and help us back to him, In Jesus name.  Amen.

Happy sunday folks
