GENESIS 2:19
 

[NKJV]

Out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the air, and brought them to Adam to see what he would call them. And whatever Adam called each living creature, that was its name.
 

[BSB]

And out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the air, and He brought them to the man to see what he would name each one. And whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name.

Though these were done in the beginning, learning from them still applies today. By the grace of the Spirit of God, I promise you five things to learn from this Bible verse above. Viz:
 

*1* The Name of the man, Adam
 

*2* The Will of the Man
 

*3* The Kingdom of the Man
 

*4* God-Sent Flock to the Man
 

*5* The Fellowship of God with Man
 

Well, restructuring my list according to how they appeared in the Bible verse above, I will now briefly substantiate them orderly.

GOD-SENT FLOCK TO THE MAN
 

I had difficulty in describing them as "God-Sent Messengers" to man, but I find it convenient to describe them as "God-Sent Flock" to man. This is because, though they are sent by God or brought by God to the man, they are not sent to give a message to the man but to receive messages or receive help from the man. They are not sent as helpers to help the man but sent as helpless in need of the man's help. And though they are not messengers like prophets, angels, apostles, or emissaries from God to the man, yet because God is the One who sent or brought them, rejecting them also carries the same weight as rejecting the messengers God sent. In fact, the goats in "Matthew 25" were those who did not receive nor minister to the least of the Lord's brethren, whom He sent or brought for the goats to minister or help them.

A man of God was held accountable by God for some wretched and poor persons whom God sent/brought to him to be discipled by that man of God or at least to be shepherded by him. But the man of God turned them away and did not help them, and as a result, the evil one recruited them, and God lost them because of the negligence or ignorance of the pastor rejecting/ignoring them.

But David did great in this regard. While he was hiding in the cave of Adullam from the king's death messengers after him. "And every one that was in distress, and every one that was in debt, and every one that was discontented, gathered themselves to him; and he became a captain over them: and there were with him about four hundred men" [1 Samuel 22:2]

That was in David's occasion, but in Adam's occasion (being the first man before David to have done greatly well in this regard), those whom God brought to Adam were disconnected, nameless, lacking identity, or in need of the man's help, even when the man himself was in dire need of a helper. All the living creatures of the ground that God made and brought to Adam were to be disciples for him or to be helped by him, even though Adam needed help himself. It's like a man who is desperately in need of secondary needs, but people in need of primary needs, who are in a worse condition than him, came to him, not to solve his need but for him to meet their need.

So Adam was trusting God for a suitable helper or for a wife, which God promised, or David was trusting God for the kingdom, which his anointing promised. But instead of the promised wife (helper) or kingship coming immediately, God sent a flock, or the needy ones came to Adam and to David in a more pressing emergency or needs. 

THE NAME OF THE MAN, ADAM
 

Many of us only see the top Bible verse above for Adam naming the animals, but hardly see the same Bible verse above as the first time the name or word "Adam" appeared in the Bible (though not all Bible translations picked up "Adam" for others continued to use "the man" instead of "Adam").

My point is, before God would have the man give names to others, God first gave the man a name, "Adam." You don't give what you don't have. Should the man who has no name be giving names to others in God's calling? So behold the man's naming with "Adam."

[Genesis 5:2 AMPC] — He created them male and female and blessed them and named them [both] Adam [Man] at the time they were created.

THE WILL OF THE MAN
 

In the top Bible verse above, God brought them to Adam (the man) to see what the man would call or name them. Why was God yet to see what the man would name them, when God has already seen or known everything past, present and future?

It was a clear occasion of God waiting or awaiting the "Will of Man" and not the usual occasion of man awaiting the Will of God to be done. God the Creator and Maker of those living creatures, brought them in subjection to the Will of Man, and God was curious "to see" not just "to hear" what the Will of the Man was in naming or assigning identities, references and numbers to His Creatures on earth. So both "Will of God" and "Will of the Man" were done in the establishment of the ground sourced creatures.

THE KINGDOM OF THE MAN
 

In the top Bible verse above, whatever the man called or named any living creature was its name permanently. God did not alter or disagree with "Whatever" the man's will called any of the earthly creatures God Himself made. This meant the man was King over the earthly creatures even in the Kingdom or Presence of God. 

Usually, no man decrees a thing, and it comes to pass without God commanding it. And though there was no history of God upturning or overthrowing whatever the man (Adam) said or did before then, the man (who was never a son of man) did something that had eternal or everlasting durance.

When Joshua commanded the sun to stand still, and God listened and made the sun stood still, it was recorded as uncommonly for God to listen to the voice of a man like in that day as it is written:

[Joshua 10:14] — "And there was no day like that before it or after it, that the LORD listened to the voice of a man: for the LORD fought for Israel."

Has God not been listening to the prayers of a man? What is the difference between God listening to a man's prayer and listening to a man's voice in that day or manner? The difference lies in the Will of God. When men pray according to the Will of God, God hears them because the man's will aligns with God's will. However, in the case of Joshua commanding the sun to stand still, it was not God's Will that endorsed the man's will, and yet God listened to the man without the protocol of God's Will or Ordinances being consulted.

Similarly, that was how it was when Adam named the living creatures according to his own will, and he had the final say or judgment over their names, while God, their Creator, simply observed or upheld the decisions made by Adam.

The FELLOWSHIP OF GOD WITH MAN
 

Essence of all these was for God to fulfill the fellowship of God with men, Immanuel. It's a Fellowship that seeks to have God doing all things through or with men, when God could have done all things without men. He can do all things without us, but for the fellowship or Immanuel He will do all things with us. In "Genesis 1" God did all things without man, but in "Genesis 2" God did all things with the man.

Is there any thing God did in "Genesis 2" that the man was not involved in contributing to or in what God did or made thereafter? After doing them, God either brought the man to them or brought them to the man — this was the basic summary of 'Genesis 2' in one sentence of 16 words. Fellowship is Sharing.
