Book Cover & Preview Text
Everything God created originally without an exception, had the weight of the blessings of God upon them; “and God BLESSED THEM, and God said unto them, be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth” (Genesis 1:22, 2:28) .They were to be fruitful and multiply and replenish the earth with blessings, not curses, joy not sorrows, abundance not lack, peace not wars,health not sicknesses, wisdom not foolishness, fellowship not hostility,comfort not afflictions, well-being not distress, preservation not destruction, coexistence not feud, freedom not bondage, prosperity not poverty, pleasure not pains, life not death, goodbess not wickedness...
It can be affirmed that ALL THINGS were originally designed for PLEASURES because there was NEVER evil in the original creation! The originator of the idea of creation had no evil in Him neither could He ever imagine creating any singular thing to represent evil. “Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.”(Revelation 4:11)
God the creator of good things is doubtless the God of PLEASURES. Of course this has nothing to do with ungodly or perverse ones. He never designed such in any of His creatures nor ever planned that for them. His abode in heaven is full of pleasures “Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.” ( Psalm 16:11)
It pleasures God that everything is perfect - (Psalm 138:8).
It pleasures God that everyone is happy and joyful (Isaiah 56:7) (KJV)
It pleasures God that all is well with all things He created (Mark 7:37(KJV)
It pleasures God that none lacks any good thing (Psalm 84:11 )
It pleasures God that no one is barren (Exodus 23:26)
It pleasures God that all needs are supplied to all His creatures (Psalms 104:27)
It pleasures God to rejoice and merry (John 2:1)
It pleasures God to have good success (Joshua 1:8)
It pleasures God that all is comforted on every side (Psalm 71:21-23 (KJV)
It pleasures God that all live and not die (Ezekiel 18:23(KJV)
It pleasures God that all things are made possible for all (Matthew 17:20
It pleasures God that goodness and mercies follow everyone forever (Psalm 23:6 (KJV)
The UTMOST PLEASURES of God for his creatures will fully manifest in eternity when there shall be a reality of things ‘eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things God hath prepared for them that love him’ (1 Corinthians 2:9).

About the Book
It can be affirmed that ALL THINGS were originally designed for PLEASURES because there was NEVER evil in the original creation! The originator of the idea of creation had no evil in Him neither could He ever imagine creating any singular thing to represent evil. Therefore, there was no evil thought, evil plan, evil agenda at any state or realm. Even Satan, the embodiment of all evils was not originally created with any spot of evil as portrayed in Ezekiel 28 :13-15
Everything about Adam , everything Adam tasted, everything Adam used, everything Adam felt (Just like God after all creations), and everything Adam saw were “VERY GOOD” without any exception. Adam originally had the mind and the Spirit of God. And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. Genesis 2:7
He was therefore pleasured by everything within and around him. They were all created for his pleasures too. Moreover, all the things that God created received nothing short of his maximum blessings. “The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.” Proverbs 10:22
Here are some postulations in respect to the continuity of God’s designed pleasures for His creatures:
1. What if there was no Devil?
2. What if there was no tempter or temptation?
3. What if Eve and Adam had overcome the temptation?
4. What if there was no curse from God, the Creator?
Well, you can be sure that the original plan and purpose of the Creator would have continued forever.
Nothing void of good pleasure ever originated from God, hence the original motive of God in whatsoever He created was pleasure and for the pleasure of whom He originally bestowed them at any given time. When all is said and done, at the consummation of all things, When there shall be the emergence of the New Heaven and a New Earth, His purpose and desire will still have the original label and signature ‘Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.”(Revelation 4:11) which will ultimately be to the pleasure and delight of all creatures that will be with the Creator throughout eternity.
