Farming:god's First Given Occupation To Man by Honesty007(m): 3:50pm On Apr 12, 2015
If we all had listened and never let the Civilization and Modernization bring technology into our heads.
There could have been nothing like SUFFERING IN THE MIDST OF PLENTY.
Before we even start,lets look at what was in the earth.
Genesis 1:12,says ''let the earth bring forth grass, herb that yields seed according to his fruit,whose seed is in itself according to its kind.And God saw that it was Good.
Genesis 2:5, God caused rain to fall before man saw anything Green...
When u go back to chapter 1:29-31 you would discover that GOD provided food for Man after providing a House which was to be an eternal Home before the sin and fall of Man.

Fruit seed and fruits,crops,etc.

Then God put Minerals in the earth.Man's first occupation is God given and it was Farming.
If to say man continued totally without non- Agricultural uses of land everyone could have been satisfied and more wealthy before we had to talk of EDUCATION and PROFESSION!!!!

Genesis 2:11-15 describes the Mineral resources such as GOLD,BDELLIUM and ONYX stone.
Verses 15 says Man was to Tend it-farming defined.

I donot know if there were weeds,thorns thistles or unwanted plants then.
But as soon After Sin came and the curse came, many difficulties where encountered with farming and this led to desertification by Mankind.

Today,we have various minerals untapped in Laarge numbers because people don't want to go back to the farm.
Ploughing, digging,all farming proccesses can lead to discovery of the Minerals.
It was the only occupation in the world before Animal Husbandry took place as practised by the Isrealites .
Exodus 3:7-8... When God said a land flowing with milk and Honey,he not only referred to that country but the blessings untapped in the earth would make the Isrealites millionaires and billionaires if they also obeyed God.
They can only be blessed if they obeyed.Nowaday because of the curse on land,only Christians are the ones land blessings are reserved Greatly for by GOD.deut 11:10-15.

Since God cursed the ground for Adam's sake because he listened to his Wife and quit farming.

Food now became a special thing which man hard to work for than food work for man.

Man left Farming and now started following and running after white collar Jobs and the hunger became worse and worse.
All that just made man soo sorry for a state.

Gen 3:19 in the sweat of your Face you shall eat bread till you return to the ground,for out of it you were taken....

In came Education and we started suffering.
We should not be fooled ,Ecclesiastes the preacher said all the labour of Man is for his Mouth.

Nowadays Money has replaced food and its from the same tree money comes from and we now begin to wonder.

Since Agriculture was given to Man by God as occupation.

Land hasn't changed!
Man has changed God's plan and suffering has intensified.
Everything man waits for today is never waiting for man except the Land.
Today, white collar jobs makes man wait for a Food ,shelter n clothing needs.
If man where involved @ first in Agriculture then it coulda been better before education and Profession.

There still lies many untapped Minerals in the earth today.its a pity Nigeria is suffering in the midst of plenty!!!
