The worst thing that can happen to any believer is to allow the devil to take them out of their Garden of Eden; It is pure spiritual assassination and no one should allow him or herself to be a victim of such.
Genesis 2:9 And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil. 10 And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads. 11 The name of the first is Pison: that is it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold; 12 And the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx stone.
Anyone who takes fish out of the water has killed that fish and that is exactly what the devil did to man when he caused them to disobey God and man was chased out of the Garden of Eden. In the same way, water provides life for the fish, the tree of life in the Garden of Eden is the source of life for man; it is what connects man to God and Satan knows very well. That is why when God chased man out of the Garden of Eden He put Angels to guard the Tree of Life with clear instruction that man should never come near. This tree of life was only mentioned in three Bible books (Genesis, Proverbs, and Revelation).
Genesis 3:22 (And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live forever: 23 Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken. 24 So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life).
The only way a man can return to the garden and get access to the Tree of Life is through acceptance of Jesus and complete obedience to the commandments of God. so, what disobedience took from man obedience brought it back. The Garden of Eden is a place filled with the overwhelming presence of God that engenders total comfort, an abundance of provisions, divine covering, and many more of God's goodness. Man was in the garden and never felt any need to gather the gold and all the precious stones around him because man was content but when man was chased out of the Garden of Eden scarcity of resources set in and man began to live a covetous life. Nothing satisfies man anymore. Satan begins to rule over man by dictating to man and constantly reminding man of his nakedness. No matter how man tries to cover himself he still feels naked because the glory of God which was his covering has left. Note, according to the above scripture (Genesis 3:22) it was not the original intention of God for man to lay hold on the Tree of Life and live forever. The coming of Jesus Christ gives man the opportunity to lay hold on the tree of life and live forever if the condition is met. Jesus Christ the wisdom and the power of God is the tree of life and His sacrifice has given us not only access to the tree of life but to lay hold on it (1 Corinthians 1:24). So, God that knew the end from the beginning was aware of man's disobedience before it happened. That is why he never wanted them to lay hold on the Tree of Life while they were there in the Garden of Eden. Proverbs 3:16 (Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honour. 17 Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace. 18 She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy is every one that retaineth her). Proverbs 11:30 (The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise). Jesus Christ is the wisdom of God and the tree of life is described as wisdom and He that wins soul for God is wise And the wise shall inherit the glory, so the glory that departs from man that makes them feel naked and never have enough can only return when you chose to be wise and win soul for God. Revelation 2:7( He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God). Revelation 22:2 (In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations). Revelation 22:14 (Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city). The tree of life produces twelve manners of fruits one for each month of the year but only the overcomers can eat of it; that is those that overcome satanic attacks by keeping the commandments of God. 1 John 5:5( Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?). The step towards your return is to accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and saviour because only he can give you eternal life and guarantee your access to the Tree of Life. John 3:15 (That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life). John 17:3 (And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent). Friends, what are you still waiting for, hurry up and return to your Garden of Eden and lay hold of the tree of life by praying this salvation prayer below and be blessed, in Jesus' name.
Lord Jesus, I come to you today, I am a sinner, and I cannot help myself, forgive me my sins, and cleanse me with your precious blood. Deliver me from sin and Satan to serve the living God. Lord Jesus, I accept you as my Lord and saviour. Now I know I am Born Again, Amen.
NENE ISAH,
