The Bible says “in the beginning God created heaven and earth. (Genesis 1-2) He made the earth beautiful place to live. God brought the great sea and filled it with all kinds of living creatures, He brought all kinds of birds to fly above the earth and He brought all kinds of living creatures to move along the ground. God then, formed a human being from the dust of the ground and human body was lifeless. The first greatest gift God ever gave to all of us was His own Spirit. He put His Spirit into the body He formed and the body became a living person. God again made another person differently out of the first person a man and a woman (Adam and Eve.) God caused all kinds of trees to grow out of the ground. The whole earth was full of beautiful things of nature, the big trees, plants, rivers, animals on the earth and minerals under the earth. And the Glory of God was upon the face of the earth. 

God did not keep the earth He had made to Himself, but rather He loved, trusted and called human being “and put him in the Garden of Eden to work and take care of it.” (Genesis 2:15) The earth was the second greatest gift God freely gave to us to maintain. It is the biggest Global Garden and residence for all people to enjoy until the end of time. All the forests or the jungles on earth were full of herbs and leaves for medicine. “Then the Lord said to Moses, ‘Take the fragrant spices–gum resin, onycha and galbanum–and pure frankincense, all in equal amount, and make a fragrant blend of incense, the work of a perfumer. It is to be salted and pure and sacred.” (Exodus 30:34-35) “Fruit trees of all kinds will grow on both banks of the river. Their leaves will not wither, nor will their fruit fail. Every month they will bear, because the water from the sanctuary flows to them. Their fruit will serve for food and their leaves for healing. (Ezekiel 47:12). However, where are the tick forests, big trees, plants and the wide animals for the next generation? The sad thing on the earth today is that all the tick forests have been sawn, misused, and burnt-up. The forests are turning into desert lands. Most animals are now endangered species and will be soon wiped-out from the face of the earth. The time has come for all of us to do all that it takes to save ‘Mother Earth’. Let us all intensifying our efforts by planting more trees on river banks and fields, until we throw away ‘that-gift-of-God’, ‘earth’ and bring an end to everything. Watch, earthquakes, floods and natural deserters are on the increase. It is MCF prayer that God would continue let the earth be His ‘footstool’ to protect it by the Power of the Holy Ghost in Jesus name. Amen.

God bless you and God bless our world.
