· The first sin in (eternal history): PRIDE- Lucifer ‘the cherubim that covereth’ said ‘I will be like the Most High’
--Isaiah 14:13-14, Ezekiel 28:15,17a
· The first sinful action: REBELLION- Lucifer audaciously questions God’s authority and leads a treasonable mutineers against the serene, tranquil and holy abode of God’s heaven
--Revelation 12: 3-4a; 7-9, Ezekiel 28:16
· The first sin on earth: DECEPTION (or falsehood)- Satan (as serpent) lies to Eve (Adam’s wife) to discredit God about the tree of knowledge of good and evil
--Genesis 3:4-5
· The first sin by Humans (thus unwittingly decamping from Glory): DISOBEDIENCE- taking (i.e. eating) of the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil contrary to God’s command or instruction
--Genesis 2:15-17; 3:6-7
CONSEQUENCES OF:
1. REBELLION IN HEAVEN:
· SPIRITUAL DEATH for Satan and his cohorts (fallen angels)
--Isaiah14:11, 19, Ezekiel 28:19, Mathew 25:41, Revelation 20:10
2. DISOBEDIENCE ON EARTH:
· PHYSICAL AND SPIRITUAL DEATH for fallen men who reject God and His son Jesus
--Genesis 2:17; 3:19, John 8:12; 51
THE MASTERMIND AND THE CAUSE:
Lucifer, now Satan the Devil and Adversary.
--John 8:44, Mathew 4:1-11
FOR YOUR INFORMATION
Continuous or a repetition of sin is rebellion before God.
It indicates un-repentance or lack of remorse; and grace does not cover such (2 Chronicles 36:15-16, Romans 6:1-2, Proverb 17:9).
Adam and Eve rebelled against God, chiefly because Adam the man of responsibility and the one in charge (Genesis 3:9) repeated his wife’s (Eve) folly and sin (Genesis 3:13): he took the fruit and ate of it (Genesis 3:6, 12), just as his wife had done earlier.
Thus (Adam yielded his authority to the foe) they became at par with Satan. Doing the very same thing Satan did in heaven: REBELLION—Ezekiel 28:18a.
Rebellion is the seed of Satan sown in man, that is, non stop sin; sinning without being capable of halting or erasing or escaping from.
CONCLUSION
Satan formerly called Lucifer will rather and gladly not have you know these truths or have his cover blown open. Don’t be in the dark concerning the truth or Satan or sin. Be informed and get prepared!

WHAT THE BIBLE TEACHES AND INSTRUCTS AS PER WORLD EVANGELISM: AKA ‘THE GREAT COMMISSION’.
(Please Read Bible References)
1. It may not be us who sowed the seeds but certainly we will reap the harvest. It is God’s answer to a prayer long (and always) offered
-Luke 10:2.
2. …He has raised and equipped us to proclaim Him even to the remotest nook of earth
-Acts 1:8, Mathew 10:27.
3. …We will teach all nations the gospels…
-Mathew 28:19.
4. …all we will do is preach the gospel everywhere-it is their (the world & creature) duty to believe…
-Mark 16:15-16.
5. Where He has sent us, He (Jesus) will eventually arrive to finish ‘clinically’ what we started: ‘…and sent them…where He HIMSELF WOULD COME’
-Luke 10:1.
6. The gospel must be spread in such a manner that even the beast in the field, in the waters and the air will be aware: ‘…to EVERY CREATURE…’—Mark 16:15,
‘…earth shall be FULL OF THE KNOWLEDGE of the Lord…’-Isaiah 11:9; none, not even the animal kingdom will claim ignorance, ‘…for A WITNESS to all…’-Mathew 24:14.
7. …and when we do these things, then the END will COME quickly
-Mathew 24:14.
Whether people believe it or not, or repent or not. It is not your immediate concern. Your business is to PRIMARILY preach and teach the gospel even to earth’s farthest hamlet.
Your business is to minister the word that will bring out spiritual life out of spiritual death. This is the greatest manifestation of God’s power (2Corinthians 3:5-6, 5:17, Ephesians 1:19-20).
And then Jesus will come in glory for the saints dead and alive in Him, but first the gospel must be told to every village in the world for Christ to return.
This great task and unstoppable assignment must be carried out with utmost urgency, fervency and zeal that can be mustered.
It is an assignment that the church must strategically deploy every capacity and intelligence and skill in its kitty.
God has ‘ENGRACED’ us; the enablement to carry through has long been released by the Holy Spirit.
The onus of this great responsibility rests heavily on the shoulder of the church of Jesus Christ.
We must not relent. The Lord is watching! (Mathew 24:45-51).
