CARNALLY MINDEDNESS

THE FALL OF CAIN

Part 2: TILLER OF THE GROUND

Lesson 1 - CARNALLY MINDEDNESS

In this part of the series, we will get to know some of the works which caused Cain to fall. God actually did not want Cain to fall from His glory but due to certain actions he (Cain) managed to backslide majestically. “So the Lord said to Cain, "Why are you angry? And why has your countenance fallen? If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin lies at the door. And its desire is for you, but you should rule over it."” (Gen. 4:6-7)

A MAN FROM GOD?

THE FALL OF CAIN

Part 1: A MAN FROM GOD?

Fall means to move lower or to drop from a certain height. And I would like to share with you on a series I taught in Church dubbed the Fall of Cain. In my earnest opinion Cain should not have fallen from God’s grace just as Christians should keep from backsliding. And I will explain in this episode one of the reasons why he fell.

THE FORCE OF PRAYER AND DRYNESS

The prophet Jonah is noted for running from the call of God and finally caught up in the belly of a great fish. The Bible teaches that God prepared this fish to swallow Jonah. This is an act of love. God insisted on Jonah walking in the perfect will of God. He (God) then had to allow a fish to swallow him (Jonah) to draw his attention not to harm him. Many a time God blindfolds His children just to get their attention but as often as He tries the devil steps in to cause them to harden their hearts. 

There is a clear distinction between God drawing our attention and temptation. God never tempts us neither can any man tempt HIM. Temptation is to cause the victim to stumble and backslide but God intentions are pure, to bring you unto an expected end.
