Introduction

Before opening this recipe; which is sometimes called intro for short: Let us visit a short story: I heard a story about a man, who tasted a source (a salsa like source) that remarkably stole his tastes bud, transformed his mind and converted his heart. Therefore, from that notable day, Mr. Salsa like source convertee embarked on a journey to invent or discover his own salsa like source for others to enjoy. With this in mind, the source convertee is (Ben Freeman); my journey and quest for biblical novels dated years ago: from my recollection and memories of great biblical novels from great authors; deposited nuggets of wisdom, biblical information and a large capacity for opportunities and possibilities, which had driven, encourage and inspired my desire to write. Again, the book journey started eight years ago, with burning passion to give back (like the salsa like source convertee), but without the wisdom—to project or even ascribe the intro less to say the beginning; but God who is great in grace, mercy, wisdom and knowledge made the impossible—possible for this book(The Word of God For Me).

Furthermore, as the Bible says, with man it is impossible, but with God, all things are possible. Can I testify? Within the eighth year, the Lord started a new beginning with a flesh and increase of wisdom and knowledge; within eight months, I am humble and grateful, to introduce with great honors, The Will of God for me, which includes nuggets of wisdom, vast knowledge of doctrinal information, scriptures and experiences. It is my prayers, that this biblical novel impact edification, exhortation and comfort within your soul. Thanks!

In The Beginning

CHAPTER 1

In the beginning, God the creator and maker of heaven and the earth, extended and expressed himself, His kingdom and his authority from the supernatural or spiritual world into the natural world of his dominion. God, who has no beginning nor ending, decided to manifest his divine plan or displayed his creativity for the benefit of his creation, precious handiwork ; mankind (man, Adam and woman his wife Eve);

Gen 1:26-27, 2:21-24. -— And God said; Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them; -— And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs and closed up the flesh instead thereof; And the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. And Adam said this is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.

With this in mind, He first created an environment, a suitable plot of real estate called the Garden of Eden, including the splendor of the sun and the moon for light by day and night, including supply of every good thing, that planet earth consist of,

Gen1:1-25, 29-31–—In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. 3v) And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. 11v) And God said let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so. 16v) And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also. 20v) And God said, let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and the fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. 24v) And God said, let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so. 29v) And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.

Notably, we will be discussing the following other interesting sub topic: Be fruitful, multiply, dominion, to dress and keeping of the Garden of Eden (the plot of real estate), before the conclusion of this topic, In the Beginning.

B E FRUITFUL : In view of the definition of the word Fruitful; besides the usual reference of works or deeds, fruit being the visible expression of power working inwardly and invisibly, the character of the fruit being evidence of the character of the power producing it.

Matt. 7:16–-Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?

As the visible expressions of hidden lusts are the works of the flesh, so the invisible power of the Holy Spirit in those who are brought into living union with Christ produces the fruit of the Spirit,

Gal. 5:22–— But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, the singular form suggesting the unity of the character of the Lord as reproduced in us, namely, love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, meekness, temperance, all in contrast with the confused and often mutually antagonistic works of the flesh.

Heb. 12:11–- Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.

The fruit of righteousness is described as peaceable fruit, the outward effect of Divine chastening; the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace, the seed contains the fruit; those who make peace, produce a harvest of righteousness;

Eph. 5:9–- For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;

The fruit of light is seen in goodness and righteousness and truth, as the expression of the union of the Christian with God (Father, Son and Holy Spirit) for God is good and the Son is the righteous One, and the Spirit is the Spirit of Truth. Although, we are talking about the word fruitful, but to adequately, understand we must look keenly at the root word fruit: the term is often used symbolically. Children are referred to as fruit of the womb or the fruit of the body.

Psa. 127:3–- Lo children are a heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.

Praise is poetically described as the fruit of the lips, and a man’s words are called the fruit of the mouth. The term fruit is applied to the consequences of our actions and motives. They shall eat the fruit of their doings, the fruit of wickedness is the judgment incurred from wrong action and the fruit of righteousness is the good works that spring from the heart of a godly man. Since we are discussing the fruit of wickedness and the fruit of righteousness, let us take a closer look at the lives of Cain and Abel sons of Adam and Eve who had direct reference or commandment to be fruitful. On the contrary, Cain displayed the very opposite and was unfruitful by murdering his bother (Abel), because God rejected him and his offering or worship, but accepted his brother Abel, because of jealousy, he (Cain) murder Abel. This was the first murder recorded in history and direct transgression against the commandment of God.

Gen 4:3-5, 8–— And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground and offering unto the Lord. And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the Lord had respect unto Abel and to his offering: But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell. 8v) And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain raised up against Abel he brother, and slew him.

From that time, unto this current twenty first century, the influence of murder has plagued mankind even as we speak (the spirit of Cain), still in the world today. Furthermore, the Lord revealed through His word another account of transgression against the commandment of being fruitful committed by men during Noah’s generation,

Gen 6:1-7– And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them. That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. And the Lord said, My spirit shall not always strive with man for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years. There were giants in the earth in those days; and also that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown. And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And it repented the Lord that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. And the Lord said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.

On the contrary, man has time and time again been unfruitful, refused to fulfill or obey the commandment of being fruitful(godliness, righteousness and uprightness) the character and conduct of God; conforming our will to the standard of the will of God as the image of His dear Son, the Lord Jesus Christ.

Roms. 8:29–- For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.

Despite, the disobedient of men, there was one man named Noah who found favor or grace in the eyes of the Lord, and through him, God preserved a remnant(Noah and his family) as the result today, we have the inhabitants of six billion plus. In view of this remarkable, legacy of this righteous man—emphasized the principle and the memento; never to forget and underestimate the power or the influence of one person, who dare to be fruitful, pleasing the creator rather than his flesh or man(mankind),

Gen 7:1, 5; 8:1, 20-21, 9:1–— And the Lord said unto Noah, come thou and all thy house into the ark: for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation. 5v) And Noah did according unto all that the Lord commanded him.

Gen 8:1, 20-21–- And God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the cattle that was with him in the ark: and God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters asswayed. 20-21v) and Noah builded an altar unto the Lord; and took of every clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and offered burnt offerings on the altar. And the Lord smelled a sweet savor; and the Lord said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man’s heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more everything living, as I have done.

Gen 9:1–- And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.

Notably, God again reiterated the same commandment, now to Noah which he previously related to Adam and Eve, consequently, this commandment is still being repeated today to this generation of the twenty-first century. Someone, compared this biblical scenario or story to a trick meet; like the 400*4—relay, which describe how a team of four persons endeavor to win a race by handling the baton after one person has completed their portion, subsequently passes the baton or the responsibility to the last person to finish for the team with a victory. Hence fore, vivically demonstrated in the scripture;

1 Thess 2:1-4, 9; 3:1-8–— For yourselves, brethren, know our entrance in unto you, that it was not in vain: But even after that we had suffered before, and were shamefully entreated, as ye know, at Philippi, were bold in our God to speak unto you the gospel of God with much contention. For our exhortation was not of deceit, nor of uncleanness, nor in guile: But as we were allowed of God to be put in trust with the gospel, even so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, which trieth our hearts.

1 Thess. 3:1-8–— Wherefore when we could no longer forbear, we thought it good to be left at Athens alone; And sent Timotheus, our brother, and minister of God, and our fellow labourer in the in the gospel of Christ, to establish you, and to comfort you concerning your faith: That no man should be moved by these afflictions: for yourselves know that we are appointed thereunto. For verily, when we were with you, we told you before that we should suffer tribulation; even as it came to pass, and ye know. For this cause, when I could no longer forbear, I sent to know your faith, lest by some means the tempter have tempted you, and our labor is in vain. But now when Timotheus came from you unto us, and brought us good tidings of your faith and charity, and that ye have good remembrance of us always, desiring greatly to see us, as we also to see you: Therefore, brethren, we were comforted over you in all our affliction and distress by your faith: For now we live, if ye stand fast in the Lord.

M ULTIPLY : In the Greek (PLETHUNO), used transitively, denotes to increase, to multiply; in the passive voice, to be multiply; but intransitively it denotes to be multiplying or in abundance. On the other hand, the Greek (PLEONAZO), used intransitively in the active voice translated being multiplied and more accurately rendered having super abounded super abounding or multiplying. As we closely, relate to the contexture meaning of the commandment of God in Genesis One, we can confidently say, He meant for us to heap up, make abundant, and increase;

Gen. 1:28– 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 every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

Acts 6:1, 7–- And in those days, when the number of the disciples was multiplied, there arose a murmuring of the Grecians against the Hebrews, because their wisdoms were neglected in the daily ministration. 7v) and the word of God increased; and the number of the disciples multiplied in Jerusalem greatly; and a great company of the priests were obedient to the faith.

Acts 2:41–- Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them three thousand souls.

In view of the scriptures mention above, I draw a close relationship from the nature or physical (nature birth, between mankind: Husband & Wife) contexture interpretation of the commandment of God (MULTIPLY) into the spiritual interpretation (Christ and His Church). Because of the close similarity and comparison, this unique relationship has been the significant component of the divine plan of our heaven Father from the beginning even until now. As we embarked upon this journey or expedition with God, the phenomenal or designed plan for His will for me or you has not change, from beginning until now.

In order for us to fully comprehend the manifold wisdom of the mystery of God’s wonderful work among the children of men,
