CHAPTER TWO
STARDOM CORRUPTED
The first man is of the earth, earthly; the second man is the Lord from heaven. 1 Corinthians 15:47
When I first read this scripture, it startled me. I felt apostle Paul did not really understand the makeup of the first Adam. That he was a complete description of a star. Thank God, I am not a religious man, whose mind cannot be renewed. When the mind cannot be renewed, it becomes religious. Truly the light is sweet, and a pleasant thing it is for the eyes to behold the sun. [Ecc 11:7]
To the spiritually enlightened, light is sweet. To renew the mind is therefore a lifelong adventure.
A FALLEN STAR
But God gives it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed his own body. 1 Corinthians 15:38
God gave the created man a body made from earth. Earth was the source and sustainer of the body. In the ‘spaceship’, I discovered by revelation that God was not alone. He had created for himself heavenly bodies or angels that accompanied him.
Prominent amongst these angels was one the bible described as full of wisdom and perfect in beauty.
Thou has been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou was created.
Thou are the anointed cherub that covers; and I have set thee so: thou was upon the holy mountain of God; thou has walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. Thou was perfect in thy ways from the day thou was created, till iniquity was found in thee. Ezekiel 28:12 -15
This created being was so full of itself and desired to take control of God’s parking space. He had to wage war against the Almighty. He had an understanding that the only way to break the dominion of man was to seize that control of the heavenlies.
And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angel fought against dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels. And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.
And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the devil, and Satan, which deceives the whole world; he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. Revelation 12:7-9
This serpent lost its throne in heaven and found its way into the Garden of Eden. It wanted stardom at all cost. It had no vision but blinded by ambition and greed. Since it could not seize control of heaven, it wanted the dominion of man desperately.
THE TREE IN THE MIDST OF THE GARDEN
I have heard so many people lament on why God had to put the tree they did not need for food in the midst of the garden. I don’t think God put it there; rather it had to be there. Remember the principle of creation. God speaks to a thing, light is infused into it and it becomes the source and sustainer.
It is the source because that is where it came out from and it is the sustain-er because that is where its replenishing is from. Which means every fruit was for eating and planting. There is the part for food and the part for sowing back to the earth.
The same principle applied to the Garden of Eden. There was the portion for food and the portion for sowing. And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moves upon the earth. [Genesis 1:28]
When God blessed them, He did that by releasing a word into them that followed after the principle of creation. God spoke to the seed in man and therefore the seed in man became the source and sustain er of the blessing in man. To sustain the blessing, the seed had to be planted or sown in the earth, that it can produce fruits. That is why he began with BE FRUITFUL.
The implication of this is that, when the seed is lost, there can be no fruitfulness. When there is no fruitfulness, there can be no multiplication, no replenishing, no subduing and no dominion.
Satan understood this principle and went straight for the tree in the midst of the Garden, which stood as the seed. He tricked them to consume the seed. Immediately the seed was consumed, the blessing stopped. When the blessing stopped they were stripped of stardom. The stardom grace departed and went to the devil. The devil had seized the ‘spaceship’ and began to move across the earth. This gave birth to evil spirits or evil spaceships. They moved mankind to do all kinds of evil.
