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.

SETTLED SOUL

  Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. 3 John 1:2 The state of one's mind [ soul ] determines his/her place in destiny. In life people are forced to bow to pair pressure or any other kind of pressure when they don't have a stable mind, or let's say the person have identity issue.  When Satan tempted Christ Jesus on His way from the wilderness after forty days prayer and fasting, what was the first question he asked Him? "if thou be the Son of God" if Jesus had had identity issue, he would have fallen for temptation in the view to show off, as a result lost His place and purpose. Knowing fully well that God had said, "... Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased." Lk. 3:22. Before embarking on the wilderness expenditure.  When you know who you are in the Word of God and are established in it; you wouldn't bow to the pressure of the world, because you see things differently....

BE RESOLUTE

  For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me. John 6:38 If you need to, you may; examine yourself and see, can the above statement be true of you or about you? Because in life you will face obstacles and challenges that will press and push you to extreme limit or out of measure to a breaking point [in despair of life, according to Apostle Paul]. These things happens in other to make you change course; but stand thou resolute.  Jesus said, persecutions will arise for the Word sake.  In Matthew 26:39, Jesus was praying "... O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt." While on the cross, Jesus cried out, "... My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?"  Well..., the Father didn't go anywhere, but the heat of the situation(s) make it look that way.  Enroute the promise land, there are a lot of obstacles; there is nothing easy about it. Sure the Devil makes it d...

Extremely Blessed!

A gift is as a precious stone in the eyes of him that hath it: whithersoever it turneth, it prospereth. – Proverbs 17:8 If I could give you a gift this Christmas, the Word is what I'd give you. I'd rather give it to you than a check for a million dollars. Because you can run through a million dollars real quick, but the truth of God's Word never quits—and it will get you out of situations a million dollars can't get you out of. Ken and I are just ordinary people. But when we latched on to God's Word, we latched on to something out of the ordinary, something that changed our lives. Every area of our lives. Nothing that's happened to us has happened because of us. It's happened because of God's Word. In fact, I don't even have to know you to promise you this: If you'll give God's Word your full attention—and not be afraid of His will for your life—you're going to be happier and more prosperous than anything you could ever dream up. O...
