🌼Eve [1]

Happy Monday family. I hope we all had a great weekend.

My take away from the weekend is from the service yesterday. The woman of God said, “God is still there, maybe not in the way you want Him to, but He’s still there.” That really struck me because I sometimes expect God to show up a certain way, and when He doesn’t, I start to think He’s not with me. But the truth is, His presence is constant even when it doesn’t look or feel like what I imagined. I want us to reflect on someone in the Bible who actually detached from God: Eve.

We all know the story, but let’s look a little closer and see what we may have missed.

Who is Eve? According to the book of Genesis, she was the first woman, created from the rib of the first man, Adam. Eve wasn’t born like you and I. She didn’t have a mother. She was never conceived. She didn’t spend 9 months in anyone’s womb so nobody could borrow money from her and when it was time to pay, say to her, “I carried you for 9 months!” Nobody played that card with her. Eve came into the world fully grown. She was a woman, not a girl. That means there’s nothing we can study about her childhood or where she grew up. She was formed in Eden, and that’s where she lived with her husband.

Now, let’s look at how she was formed and why. Because I hope you know this: God doesn’t just do things. He has a reason and a purpose for everything. God isn’t just productive; He produces according to purpose. He’s not just after results; His results always have a reason. This helps us understand that God makes no mistakes. He doesn’t occupy Himself with useless adventures or meaningless projects. His works are deliberate, calculated, and designed for a purposeful outcome. Eve, too, was created in purpose and for a purpose. Okay, let’s go to Genesis!

“Now the Lord God said, It is not good (sufficient, satisfactory) that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper meet (suitable, adapted, complementary) for him.

‭‭Genesis‬ ‭2‬:‭18‬ AMPC‬

Adam has been created. Everything is already in place, but when God looks at Adam, He sees that although Adam has Him, something is still missing. Sometimes we lie to ourselves and think, “Ah, I have God, so I don’t need people.” But this scripture proves us wrong. God desires that we also have people to fellowship with, even when He is in our lives. Any gospel that says, “Cut everyone off,” is not right.

Adam had no people around him, and God Himself said, “It is not right.” Then God said, “I will make this man a helpmeet.” Before we even study the other words used in this scripture, let us pause here Eve was created as a helpmeet. Not a prostitute. Not a one-night stand. Not a “friends with benefits” girl. Not a side chick. Not a “fornicate with me, I will still marry you.”

And let me also say this: God did not create any woman to be used and raped. No!. God never created Eve for all that. I can even go further to say, child bearing is not the main reason why God created women. He did not create Eve for entertainment at strip clubs, or for exploitation by men. So when women get into those things, they have already missed purpose. A woman who doesn’t know the why of her existence will never fulfil her God-given purpose. There’s so much to study so I will just write and stop where I can.

Now that we’ve established that women were created for a purpose, I advise you to discover your purpose. Where purpose is unknown, time will always be wasted. When God was planning to create Eve, He used words like suitable, complementary, helpmeet, companion, just right. He was not thinking failure. He was not thinking weak. He was not thinking purposeless, ugly, or “less than.” He was not labelling woman with the swear word or any other false identity.

I have to say this so that every identity you have adopted that is not of God may be broken right now. The truth is clear: “The woman was made for the man” (1 Corinthians 11:9).

But understand this properly, Eve was never created to be a feminist.

She was created to help, but with a capacity that was suitable for Adam. In other words, she matched him. That means there was a specification. A type. Someone might say, “The Bible never talks about type.” True, maybe not the word type, but the context shows that Adam needed a certain kind of woman not just anyone. Not just any girl on social media, like some people do today.

Some men say, “I love all women black, white, coloured, Indian I just love all of them. I want all of them. I can handle them. ” Let me be honest with you: you’re a fool.

You are not normal if you want all women. Adam didn’t need all women. He needed one woman his type, his match, his God-ordained companion. Let’s stop here. Eve’s creation has taught us, you were created from a reason probably bigger than you know and understand. Who else can help you discover your purpose than the One who created you?
