Shalom! This was the curse that God placed on man:
Genesis 3: 17
17 ... cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life ...
The opposite of multiplication is division, the opposite of addition is subtraction, and the opposite of plus is minus. This may sound elementary to you, but you need to put it into consideration.
The curses God placed on the man and the woman were reversed in Christ Jesus. I think you ought to be rejoicing right now. The pain of the woman at childbirth was multiplied by the curse and redemption through Christ reversed it.
Genesis 3:18-19
18 Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field;
19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.
These also are reversed by redemption through Christ. A born-again child of God is not under any of this curses anymore. But if he is ignorant of this reality, he will still suffer unnecessarily.
The curse pronounced here by God has nothing to do with weather, but it does indicate that man's labour will bring in less to harvest. It would be like using elephant power to work and harvesting just enough that can only feed a mouse.
That's the curse redemption has reversed for us men in Christ Jesus just like the women. It now depends on whether or not you believe this. The Bible says, "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen" (Hebrews 11: 1).
If you hope for this, faith will bring it to reality in your life.
Till next posting, God bless.
