HOLD FAST TO INSTRUCTION

For I have come down from heaven not to do My own will and purpose but to do the will and purpose of Him Who sent Me.

John 6:38 AMPC

This quote from Bishop David Abioye is very enlightening, He said, "they that walk, uses common sense; they that run, apply principles. But they that fly, fly by instruction."

The Word of God is primarily a book of instructions, our personal opinion is irrelevant and inconsequential to God's instructions.

Reading through the gospels, you see Jesus the Son of God himself apparently saying, His opinion was/is irrelevant to the desire, command, instruction and Will of His Father, God.

"And going a little farther, He threw Himself upon the ground on His face and prayed saying, My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass away from Me; nevertheless, not what I will [not what I desire], but as You will and desire."

Matthew 26:39 AMPC, see also Mark 14:36, Luke 22:42.

Like Jesus, we all ought to put our personal opinions and ideas aside in total submission to His perfect plan. Why? He only knows the end from the beginning.

We are here on earth to do the Will of the Father, anything other than the desire, Will and commandment of God; we are running our own course, and believe it; it isn't going to end well, because it is against God's original intent.

I pray that God give you understanding into His perfect plan for you personally and grace to apply yourself to it!

Jesus is Lord!

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...

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 ...
