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 ...

The Needful or Obvious Pt.1

And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things: But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her. - Luke 10:41-42. Nobody just happened, we are created for specific purpose. Everybody cannot be head, or leg, or hand etc., each and everyone most identify their place and stay there, thus makeup the body system. The leg cannot say the hand is not performing its functions adequately, as a result, he will take its functions over. The leg would be led by the obvious and abuse its own purpose instead, why? He was not created to perform the function of the hand. When these things are properly understood, it will help us to gain speed towards the fulfillment of our purpose. Everyone will give account of his or her stewardship, when the time comes, what will be your report, when all that you have been doing is the obvious(somebody else's assignment), and ignoring yours or ...

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....
