Genesis 3 :  1-10

Text : v.  10, "And the Lord God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?"

Introduction:

Today , we are sharing the last but one moe message in this series

Please , quickly note:

1. Where you are has to do with what you are doing

2. Where you are has to do with what you will become

3. Where you are now will have a great impact upon your life

4. As the saying goes , "your location determines your allocation. How  true!

The Story:

Adam was created a perfect man

To be supported by his wife Eve

There was a time Eve was alone at home , vulnerable

Best time for Satan to tempt

Note the interaction that went on between them

Read vs 1-5

What to note:

Lonely  moments are very dangerous . Are you alone ?

Conversation with the devil  could be snaring

Whatever "good thing" the devil offers is a serious bait to derail anybody.

The Result of Interaction/Conversation

Read vs 6-7

Have you observed, today that what people call civilization ( olaju ) is actually what is killing them

Although their eyes were opened , they no longer saw God

Although they knew, they  were no longer in God's presence

Although they sewed fit tree leaves together , they were naked

Now God Came

Read v. 8

Imagine God coming  down to look for them , and not finding them where they used to be  or where He placed them originally . Hence , the next automatic question

Read. V.9

If they were no longer where God put them , the right question therefore is "where are you?"

Read the answer:

Adam heard the voice of God. Are you still hearing God ?

He was afraid. Of what, or who ?

He was naked  . Who de-robed  him?

He hid himself. From whom and why?

From God with whom nobody and nothing is hidden?

How foolish man could be !

Don't Go Too Far?

Today, are you aware that this a question for all of us in the house today: Where are you?

Where are you now in the church of God ?

Do you know that where you are determines who you are and what you become ?

Are you in personal relationship with the Lord ?

Are you really in the fellowship of the children of God ?

Are you in the friendship with people that are focused on Kingdom and meaningful life matters ?

Or , are you in the company of those who draw you away from Christ and His Church?

The next question will be , what are you doing in that place , in that group , in that club  in that association, etc , where you are now

Note very well , you are in the wrong place if:

Where you are draws you away from church

Where you are makes you do what you don't want  to do

Where  you are makes God looks small to you

Where you are makes you belittle and Kingdom matters .

Where Your friends  and allies are so powerful to lure you away .

If you cannot broadly confess the saving grace and knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ

Therefore, today

Make a definite decision

Resolve today  to serve the God  without Good
