EXCOMMUNICATION
David Abankwah
SERIES: Day 3

Therefore the LORD GOD SENT HIM OUT OF THE GARDEN OF EDEN to till the ground from which he was taken.
-Genesis 3:23 | NKJV

When the fallen angels were excommunicated from heaven, they began to inhabit different places of which they were in charge of in heaven. Those who were in charge of plants, began to inhabit them. Those who were in charge of animals, began inhabiting them. Those who were in charge of water bodies, began inhabiting the sea, rivers, lakes, streams etc. Those who were in charge of valleys, began inhabiting them. Those who were in charge of mountains, began inhabiting them. Those who were in charge of the sky, began inhabiting them. But because Lucifer was in charge of music, he didn’t have any place to inhabit but had to gallivant around.

That was why when God called him that why was he pursuing Job, he told God that, he had been going to and fro on the earth, and from walking back and forth on it.
He has no place to inhabit. As he was going to and fro on the earth, he found out that, God had created another being in a certain garden. But that being was not like them (angels). He looked as if he was a minigod because he looked like God having the image and likeness of Him. Because Satan and his fallen angels had been excommunicated from heaven, they had no control or restraint whatsoever as they experienced in the church of heaven. They had no church laws governing them anymore.

In that case, they began living their lives without the will of God. Satan realised he was not stronger without his other counterpart who was death. When Satan came into the Garden of Eden, he came with the spirit of lust. Without lust, the deceit of Satan is not a stronghold. The world who is Satan and lust always walk together (1 John 2:17). It was lust that covered the forbidden fruit to attract Eve to commit sin against God and Adam eventually. After the fall, Adam and Eve lost the position God gave Him. When you sin, you miss the mark of divinity. You may still have the gift God gave you as the fallen angels still have, but you will never have the presence of God.

Adam and Eve found out that they were naked. Sin makes you naked spiritually and anyone who is naked spiritually cannot have eternal life. God cannot watch nude pictures and videos in His kingdom. That is what it is when women wear trousers, do make-ups, add another hair that is not theirs to theirs, adding another nails to yours among many others. God clothed Adam and Eve to show us that He is circumspect about the way we dress. After Adam and Eve sinned against God who was the Priest of the Church of Eden, He finally excommunicated them the church. When He did that, Adam and Eve turned a new leaf and we didn’t hear they sinned again.

•| Prayer Diary |•
Lift up prayers for grace and strength to crucify the flesh, its lust and passion so you can live a constant life of righteousness, holiness, and sanctification in the name of Jesus Christ.

Quote
God excommunicated Adam and Eve from the church of Eden to serve as a deterrent effect on sin.
