I know you rushed here because of the topic 😂 ehh Susan and Emmanuel, you like these kinds of things! If I just type the angelic something something you’ll ignore LOL. Anyhoo, happy Monday my beloveds! Happy new week. I pray that the Lord shows up for you before the end of the month! Hold onto your faith and you’ll see the wonders of the Lord!
In the account of creation, God created Adam first and placed him in Eden , a place of assignment. Before Adam was even formed, God had already prepared a purpose for him: to tend and keep the garden. This shows that God is a God of assignments. He never creates without purpose. Before He forms anyone, He ordains their destiny. As He declares in Jeremiah 1:5
“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; Before you were born I sanctified you; l ordained you a prophet to the nations.”
Guess what? Even the madman you see has a purpose. Take the man from the Gadarenes, for example the one who lived among the tombs. After his deliverance, he became a messenger, traveling to ten cities to testify about what Jesus had done for him. Imagine that such great capacity, once wasted in isolation and torment. Back to Adam. He wakes up and tends the garden, fulfilling his assignment. In the cool of the day, he meets with the Lord in fellowship. At night, he enjoys a good meal and rests. His life is whole, no complaints, no depression, no cries of loneliness. Not once does he say, “I can’t tend the garden , I’m too lonely.” Everything is in order, just as God intended.
Then God saw that Adam needed a companion. You see, God knows what you need better than you do. Adam may have thought he was fine; playing with the cows, drinking milk but God saw that nothing He had created could truly be a suitable companion for him. Listen, you can buy nine cats, but they still won’t be a suitable companion. You can teach a parrot to talk, but it won’t be a suitable companion. You can get four pit bulls and a chihuahua, yet they won’t fill that space. And all your gadgets, your phone, your laptop, even if it’s from Apple and it’s the latest, your endless scrolling they’re not a suitable companion either.
God designed humans to thrive in the company of other humans those who are suitable for their lives and their Eden. What does suitable mean? Because some of you seem confused. It means compatible, well-matched, complementary, or designed to fit well. And let me tell you for free most of the people we “jell” with are not actually designed to fit well in our lives. Many of us are forcing connections, pairing owls with eagles, and wondering why things aren’t working.
This is why you must know your Eden. When you understand where God has placed you, you’ll also recognize who is well-matched for your life. News flash: you are not a perfect match for everything and everyone. You have a specific tribe people who are complementary to you according to your God-given purpose.Yes, this even applies to the spouse you’re waiting for. You don’t choose based on good english. English can be taught. But tell me, how do you teach an eagle to swim?
Genesis 2:22 (NKJV):
“Then the rib which the Lord God had taken from man He made into a woman, and He brought her to the man.”
God never said to Adam, “Here’s your wife.” He simply presented Eve to him, bringing her to him. For those of you who have many strange dreams claiming God said someone is your “bone of your bones,” I’ll tell you straight, you’re lying. God presents people, but we make the choice.
Only God knew that Eve was made from Adam’s bones. Adam was asleep when Eve was created, but being spiritually connected, Adam immediately recognized her with complete clarity. I’m telling you, someone who isn’t plugged into the Spirit will never truly recognise you; no matter how much you try to stand out, no matter what you wear. This goes for both men and women. The suitable people are out there. God still presents them, but the choice is ours to make. You choose your suitable. You choose who to befriend. You choose who to do business with. You choose who you marry. You!
Why is this issue so important? Because your destiny depends on it. Have you ever met someone who made a good choice in their companions? I have. They bear fruit, they flourish, they grow. Why? Because the people around them don’t try to steal their Eden. Your suitable companions will give you wise advice for your destiny.
Let me also say, your suitable companions should choose you too. It can’t be one-sided. Eve didn’t say, “Ah, Lord, I don’t like him.” She chose him too! Man has always been given the power of choice, and Eve chose Adam. So best believe, she made a choice as well. You can’t force people to be your friends. You can’t force them to love you or marry you. It must be a reciprocal relationship. Adam chose Eve. Eve chose Adam. If someone doesn’t want you as their friend, lover or business partner, even if they are suitable, leave them alone. Read that again.
We may think the relationships around us aren’t that important, but they truly are. Consider the relationship Naomi had with her daughters-in-law, the friendship bond between David and Jonathan, the tragic sibling story of Cain and Abel, the controlling evil union of Jezebel and Ahab, the marriage of Abigail and Nabal, or the mentor-mentee relationship between Elijah and Elisha. And even you and that person in your life all these relationships matter deeply.
When you understand this, you’ll know how to choose your companions wisely. God will present them to you, but ultimately, you will make the choice. So, be in your Eden, tend to it carefully. Don’t worry about many things. God knows exactly what you need, when the right person should come, and where they are. Whether it’s a friend, a business partner, or even a spouse, tend to your Eden and enjoy true fellowship with God While you serve and nurture your purpose, a day of presentation will come. And by the Spirit of God, I pray you choose wisely.
Have a great day! See you tomorrow! 🌸
