Tragedy
of disobedience
Preacher: Pastor Okelani
Text: Gen 3:11, Psalm 78:10
Gen 3:
11- And he said,
Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of
the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat? 12 And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with
me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat. 13 And the Lord God
said unto the woman, What is this that thou
hast done?
And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat. 14 And the Lord God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done
this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of
the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days
of thy life: 15 and I will put enmity between thee and the woman,
and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt
bruise his heel
