Who Told You That You Were Naked?

Hello everyone,

I went through Genesis 3 and something struck me when I read verses 9 to 11 which says, “Then the LORD God called to Adam and said to him, “Where are you?” ₁₀So he said, “I heard Your voice in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; and I hid myself.” ₁₁And He said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree of which I commanded you that you should not eat?” This aspect surprised God if I could put it that way, and the question was why? It was because the statement made by Adam wasn’t what God put in him when he was created.

It is just like taking your child for example, if your child uses a fowl word you never taught the child, neither have you ever used the word yourself, the question you would ask your child is where he or she got that word from? The same thing was what happened when God heard Adam say he was afraid and naked, it wasn’t what God taught Adam and his wife, as He visited them every day in the garden. Therefore, someone else must have influenced Adam’s language.

Genesis 2:25 says, “And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.” Why am I concerned about this? Adam’s nature changed when he ate of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, which was why God asked him if he had eaten from that tree?

The key point to note here is that our words reflect our nature or our words should reflect our nature. And those who are in Christ shouldn’t speak as those who aren’t saved, or without understanding. As Isaiah 33:24 says, “And no inhabitant [of Zion] will say, I am sick; the people who dwell there will be forgiven their iniquity and guilt.” AMPC. That is to say that those who are born of God aren’t meant to say that they are sick.

No matter what the Doctor or anyone say to you, if it doesn’t correspond with who you are in Christ then it is not true. Yes, the physical body would shout what the Doctor says, but one thing you must understand is that the body only becomes what you tell it. And when you believe in your heart that you cannot be whatever negative thing the Doctor said, and it is confirmed in the Word of God, then you need to teach and confess to your body continuously that the body is healed and made whole in Christ.

The truth is that as you confess the Word of God which is the truth to your body, and you believe it in your heart, you are not just confessing ordinary words, rather, you are confessing life to your body and this is the truth because it is your true nature.

This doesn’t apply to health alone, but to every situation, we face in life. We need to know who we are in Christ which is our true nature, and we shouldn’t just know it, we should become it, which is who God made you become in Christ Jesus. Do not give up, just be consistent and ask the Holy Spirit to strengthen you, (ref. Romans 8:26), and you’ll see the physical transformation in your body as you keep on keeping on.

May the LORD bless you and keep you, make His face shine upon you. May the LORD be gracious to you and lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace. AMEN.

                    

Why not accept Jesus today if you haven’t. Pray out loud, “Jesus, I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank You for saving me!” Congratulations, you’re born again, you are now brand new!
