Hello lovely people hope you all have been having a good time. This is another episode on the series I started that explains to us or answer some of the questions we tend to ask ourselves when reading the word (BIBLE). Today ill be talking on the reason WHY GOD REJECT CAIN OFFERING AND WHY HE KILLED HIS BROTHER just as I had promised in my last article “CAIN’S WIFE” you can check it out.
(Please note, this is a series of teaching. The Holy Spirit might be giving you a better understanding).
Some of us might be thinking that after the fall of man caused by Satan, Adam and Eve were no longer tempted. As a matter of fact, some things that is a norm in today’s world, came as a temptation to Adam. Example is he(Adam) taking Eve to be his wife (my next article will be on this).
In Genesis 4v3-8 talked about what happened and why Cain killed his brother. But please take note most things or stories written in the Bible are only summary of what happened. The bible passage written above only showed Cain offerings not accepted and his countenance fell so, went ahead and slew his brother. But let’s take a look at the book of James 3v12 “not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew him? Because of his own works were evil and his brother’s righteous”. The passage above speaks about Abel’s righteousness and Cain’s wickedness. This both things are of the heart. As known, our God is a God that deals with man according to his heart.
Now back to why i said Adam and eve decision is what Satan used to break Adam home. When Adam and eve were talking about giving Cain’s sister to Abel, the hater of all good (Satan) went to pollute the heart of Cain using the decision of Adam and eve. This didn’t get down well with Cain whom has fallen to the speech of Satan who appeared to him in human form. Cain became evil towards his brother, Cain after the devil’s speech, went out of the fields, beat and cursed his mother for agreeing to give his beautiful twin sister to Abel. Although Cain was evil in heart, and also, he fallen for the words of Satan and also the hate he had for his brother because his offerings were always accepted and his rejected was what pushed him to killing his brother. Doing this, he thought, will make him keep his beautiful sister to himself which he did but has to go far away from where Adam was.
In conclusion, God didn’t reject Cain’s offerings only because he didn’t give the best, but also, because his heart is full of evil, proud, full of guile and fraud…
Thanks for reading. Hope you learned something. Keep reading the word. Don’t just read, but do and live according to its teachings.
