COVENANT BETWEEN GOD AND SATAN
(According to Ɔkronkronyi Nyame Somafo Yawoh)
Written by Kwabena Opoku
When the Most High God told all the heavenlyy host that He wanted to create man so that he will be steward over all created things on earth, the Angels opposed the idea and pleaded with their Master to reverse His decision. The Angels sought His face saying
” Lord, we are here and remain loyal to you. We render exaltation, pay homage, and give praises and worship. Why then, create man and place him on earth knowing very well that he will commit grave crime and sin against your Most High”
But The Most High answered them saying,
“l know what you do not know.”
So, Adam was created from dust and God put the breath of life in him and he became a living being. God brought Adam before his Angels and then told them to name all thee things created. but thee angels couldn’t name them.
Then, He told Adam to name them immediately, he started naming them one by one such that everything had a name called by it.
God reminded them again, ” l told you I knew what you did not know”. He then, instructed them to bow and show respect to Adam for what he did. All the Angels bowed to pay respect to Adam accept Lucifer.
He said that, “Adam is of dust so i see no reason to bow for such low creation.”
God told him, “since you have shown pride by disregarding my order leave my presence.”
Lucifer replied saying,
” if u say I should leave your presence then pay me for the service I’ve render to you.”
God told Lucifer he has nothing to give him only that this Adam that is going to be His deputy on earth will give birth and multiply having lots of descendants, therefore, whoever disobeys His instruction thereof such belongs to him(Lucifer). Hence, he should do to them as he pleases.
Lucifer then, thanked God for creating man and giving him half share of the populace.
This account for the reason why we go through perilous time or face great difficulties and cry unto God for help but no help come.
Disasters such as fire outbreak, rainstorm and accident on our roads occur frequently where many people perish and properties lost. Then, we begin to question the existence of God and as to why He has allowed it to happen.
The group of sheep knows the Shepherd and he also knows his fold. when we recognise God as Lord, serve Him with all our heart and above all obey His instruction, He also sees us as His children and protects us from all evil. He blesses us with only good things since all good things comes from Him.
On the other hand, Satan, the enemy of man, is the one who plagues us with bad things since he has nothing good to give all he does is bring evil upon people. His continuous troubling and killing only bring sorrow and heartbreak to people – rejoicing over our pain. Sadly, Satan brings evil upon those who are his friend.
