FRUITFUL greetings, Cherished one. One of the root causes of the fall of man in the garden of Eden was discontentment or dissatisfaction. The devil is very crafty playing this game with humanity. Papa God in His own wisdom gave all that the man needed and told them to dress and keep the garden; But He forbade them from eating of the tree of knowledge of good and evil (Gen 2:15-17). We never read Adam and Eve lacked any good thing; However, Satan came and introduced to them a sense of “unholy dissatisfaction.”
He deceived them to believe what God has given them wasn’t enough and that they could have more by disobeying God (Genesis 3:1,4,5). The move to satisfy their carnal appetites against God’s word brought great predicament to the human race. This scenario is happening in our current world today. Many are not content with what God has given them. The word “content” in our focal text means “enough, suffice or sufficient.” Thus, you must walk with a sense of contentment not because you have all material things but your sufficiency or satisfaction is of God (2 Corinthians 3:5).
