Humanity belongs to the spiritual and physical domain based on ancient religious beliefs handed down to generations. It is believed that the world was created by a supernatural being called God who is invisible powerful and omnipotent. He was the creator of the Universe and His works were written by scribes after the world civilization was develop and the Bible was written to reveal himself. The Bible is the history of how the world was created by Him that the Universe was void but through His Words the Universe came into being. In the beginning the world was void and nothing was then He declared the presence of light and darkness and called them day and night with the creation of the solar system the source of light for the entire universe. The history of creation put man as its center and God created his partner which is a woman. In the physical realm He created man from a handful of clay and opposite was a woman which is entirely opposite with a man's feature because God has a plan for them to do on Planet Earth. This is the planet where God put them to flourish and multiply. God provided everything they need to sustain their life to be healthy and strong and gave them instructions but didn't clearly and deeply explained why there was one kind of fruit they are prohibited to eat or touch at all. It was until a similar creature in the form of a serpent approach Eve the name given to the woman to eat that fruit. Eve totally forgot what God told her and convinced Adam to eat it too. Adam tried to refuse by not swallowing it that he tried to expel it when it didn't reached his throat which is now called the Adam's apple. Upon God's return to the Garden of Eden God was very angry to them. He forgot His plan for them but was to punish them for their misdeed being hardheaded and stubborn. That was the only thing God could do to punish them. The punishment was so harsh. God didn't give them a chance to explain why it happened. God said to Adam that he is driving them outside of the Garden of Eden and they will only live by means of letting out the sweat of his brow to feed himself and Eve who became his wife. Is this really the plan of God for them? To Eve she will suffer the pains of childbirth alone Adam was out of the picture and both of them will have a hard life. Was that really what God wants them to live for not following Him? Why did He not explain His plan to them so that they could not have eaten the forbidden fruit? God was watching over them from heaven. As they multiplied their offsprings this was the time when His Words were poured out during the Pentecost when His people gathered together and spoke many languages and God emphasize the pouring out of Truth and most importantly the Holy Spirit promised by Jesus Christ to send Him to Earth after ascending to heaven. This is a part of God's plan to let people know about His Love to His creations to become His Sons and daughters in His kingdom in heaven who will reign with Him forever and have everlasting life. In this modern times humanity has almost forgotten that life is a mystery. How can one understand the mystery of creation? Why is there God the Father, God the Son and the Holy Spirit? Nolly and Bonnie were baptized under the denomination of the Church of God. Nolly would only believed what is written in the Bible. He is very particular about using 0ne kind of Bible which was the International version being reprimanded by the church elder asking him to explain why he was using many versions whose answer was that more people will understand the Word of God. Many times Nolly will compromise what was written in the Bible particularly on sinning or committing mistake. Sin is said to be the transgression of God's laws. Being self righteous not following the 10 Commandments. Nolly says God can forgive him 72x7 and it is still good as long as he ask God to forgive. Bonnie would correct him but don't listen to her. Bonnie used to say " Your sin is not my sin." Nolly repeatedly do whatever he wanted even the temporary pleasures of smoking gambling and drinking with friends. Then something happened when he was charged with reckless driving suffering with serious injuries and he has to stop working. Nolly seemed to be lack of remorse about what happened and still his lack of Faith and Trust in God was fading. Bonnie considered that it was a miracle fir Nolly to be alive whose car went under the wheels of a giant truck transporting big rolls of steel. Bonnie said God had spared his life to realize his mistakes. Nolly didn't know she was praying for him incessantly for him to change his ways. In gambling he wanted to get rich instantly. Bonnie didn't follow him she focus on her belief about the Promises of God who provides everything. Following the 10 Commandments was a lifelong pledge for her to follow although Nolly seemed to be off guard of following it dragged by outside influence by his friends who were no longer around after the accident. Bonnie pulled herself to ask God what was needed for Nolly to survive. She didn't approach anyone of his friends not even his family who were against on their baptism to the believers of God. They don"t know that God was a great healer. He performed miracles in healing much more to every particular need as long as you asked it. Bonnie put together all the resources she could gather to pay for the bills of Nolly. One of God's promises was to double the amount of payment if someone fails to pay you back. This happened to Bonnie in her store when her customers fails to pay her back more customers come to her and her sales doubles. Another promise of God that He fulfills was to open all the windows of heaven once we follow His Commandments because He is God, He doesn't break any of His promises. Instead of only one store Bonnie had expanded her store into five. She was not telling this to anyone. It is only between God and Bonnie. Even in the church where they attend who are indifferent towards them because of Nolly's behaviour Bonnie didn't like to divulge at all for fear they will not support her assertion , even if she will explain to them what is also mentioned in the Lord's Prayer that He will always provide our needs. To explain farther if he provides more than our needs we live in abundance. Nolly is on his way to recovery thanking God for providing what Nolly needed and praying to God for His continuous blessings.GP
