Cost of Disobedience.



And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the Lord appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect. 
- Gen. 17:1.

The above scripture was a rebuke, because of what happened in chapter 16 of Genesis.
When God ask us not to sin, all of the time it's for our own benefit. The result of disobeying God in Genesis chapter sixteen, is what the world is suffering from to-date.
In Samuel chapter eight, the children of Israel demanded for their own king, and God told them "I Am your King" they refuse to obey, but insisted and finally God said OK have yourself a King; we have seen repercussion of that decision. How it has hinder the growth of that Nation.
Also, in Isaiah thirty-eight when God sent Isaiah the prophet to Hezekiah the king to set his house in order, for it's time for him to die. Vs 2 and 3 said the king, Hezekiah turned his face to the wall prayed and wept sore.
And God said ok, in vs 5 God said to Hezekiah, "... I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears:..." in chapter 39 we saw how King Hezekiah walked into error that could have been prevented, had he flow through in chapter 38.
When God give us a command it's all for our benefits, not His; disobeying God means we are obeying the enemy.

Right from Adam's transgression, we have seen that disobeying God has not helped us at all, rather put generations after generations into bondage. Yet, we still fall for the same traps over and over again through the "... Lust of the eyes, lust of the flesh and pride of life..." 1 John 2:16. "... we are not ignorant of his devices." 2 Cor. 2:11.

We can make a quality decision today to walk in obedience, and escape the traps of the devil. We are not perfect but, His grace will guide us.
We can start by obeying Joshua 1:8, Matthew 6:33 as a guide.

Choose To Forgive

"And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors... For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:" Matt. 6:12;14. The Scripture admonish us to forgive not just debts, offenses, etc. In Isa. 43:25 God had to forgave us for His own sake, meaning each time we have unforgiveness in our heart, it limit the flow of the anointing which is the power of God at work in us. Many think they are perfect, but non is perfect and sinless before God, except by faith in the blood of Jesus Christ, which is by grace. 1 John 1:8 "If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us." it does not matter the personality, not even Peter, James and John could claim righteousness without Jesus Christ and the blood. So we don't have examples to pattern after except Jesus Christ, He is the RIGHTEOUS (1John 2:1). We must be mindful, man will always want to make himself the pattern for others to follow after, like ...

Strong 2020

Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die: - 1 Corinthians 15:36 No seed that is afraid of being planted, will ever think itself qualified to ever produce more fruits, it will die alone. Every seed that must reproduce, must of a necessity go through the process of plantation, if the future is in view. It is hard, yes. But that is the only way to duplicate oneself. John 12:24 says,  "Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit."  In this year 2020, if you seriously care, you need to die to self, and alive to God, in other to impact your world. Living a life of mediocre, will not benefit you, and certainly no one else around. Strong? Yes! Why not, if it will get your attention. So, no matter how you have ignored God's instructions until now, make a quality decision to realign, this new year, and start early. Happy New Year, once again...

EXIGENCY

  You only have I known of all the families of the earth: therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities. Amos 3:2.  Ever wondered how come so and so did such and got away with it, but when you attempted it, you got cut and punished for it? There could be chances you are separated to God as a chosen vessel [not certainly, but likely]. "if yes" , as a result, you can't do what you like, only what is permitted. The society have drifted to the place where people don't talk about purpose anymore except their individualistic goals. Well, if you came from God, He already has a plan for you, it is suppose to be your primary assignment in life to discover it. Not to ignore it, in pursuit of your own self centered aspirations, it may not go down well. Some of the reasons you were probably rejected in certain areas in life is not because you aren't qualified, but because you're out of place. When God chose Abram, he didn't succeed in anything else even at 75yrs...
