In God's shoes...... Part 7 (Finale) Obedience








As funny as a coincidence is, today is the last day of the month and the last day of the series "In God's shoes".

When your juniors at work don't obey your instructions, how do you feel?
When your children don't obey your laid down rules, how do you feel?
When you don't obey your own set instructions, how do you feel?

All these scenarios could make us get mad. As humans, we don't like it when people disobey us.
The same thing applies to God. He has given us laid down  and we chose to disobey them. "Do not kill"; some of us will be like 'I Don't even have a gun, so how would I kill someone'. It is not until you have a gun before you kill a person. Some of us have killed people with our eyes and mouths without realizing it. "Do Not Lie"; there is nothing like a small lie or a big lie or a white lie. All lies are disobedient.

Some of us don't even know these commandments because we don't read the word. Mind you ignorance will not be accepted as an excuse on the day of judgement.

It is stated clearly in the bible

Hosea 4:6 ESV

My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge; because you have rejected knowledge, I reject you from being a priest to me. And since you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children.

If only we can read the word, we would see that all we need is in it.
Even the greatest commandment "love your neighbor as yourself" is greatly ignored. If you love your neighbor as much as you love your self, then we wouldn't be talking about stealing, killing, racism and all sorts.

Mark 12:31 NIV

The second is this: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no commandment greater than these."


1Samuel 15:22 NIV
But Samuel replied: "Does the LORD delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices as much as in obeying the LORD? To obey is better than sacrifice, and to heed is better than the fat of rams.
If we want others to obey whatever we say, then why do we disobey what God says? Let us obey God this new month! Happy last day of July!!
Be warned!!!
God bless you!

Normality in Abnormality Part 4

Thank you for following up the series... Our Bible reference is Proverbs 25 Lesson 4: Proverbs 25:11-14 Timely advice is as lovely as golden apples in a silver basket. 25:12   Valid criticism is as treasured by the one who heeds it as jewelry made from finest gold. 25:13   Faithful messengers are as refreshing as snow in the heat of summer. They revive the spirit of their employer. 25:14   A person who doesn't give a promised gift is like clouds and wind that don't bring rain. Don't talk too much. Talk when it is right.  An idea well expressed is like a design of gold set in silver.  There is power in communication.  Make sure your words are wisely chosen lest you begin to sound like a fool.  When you speak good words at the right time, your words would be appreciated. Communication is not based on the amount of words one might say,  but the timing of what one says. There is no better blessing than when someone who is inexperienced listens and adheres to a

If God had no TIME.....

I saw this poem,  and it struck me to share I knelt to pray but not for long I had to much to do as the year ends I had to hurry and get to work For bills that would soon be due So I knelt down and said a hurried prayer And jumped up off my knees My Christian duty was now done My soul could now rest at ease All day long I had no time To spread a word of cheer No time to speak of Christ to friends They'd laugh at me I'd fear 2016 ending!  No time,  no time,  too much to do That was my constant cry But at last the time,  the time to die I went before the Lord I came;  I stood with downcast eyes For in his hands God held a book It was the book of life God looked into his Book and said "Your name I cannot find. I once was going to write it down.... But never found the time. " Wow.  This is an amazing poem.  Imagine if God had no time. We most times procrastinate a lot,  saying no time,  no time.  But where did time really go.  We all have th

The Chronicles of Acts 4....

The chronicles of Acts 4 The fact that people are persecuted because of the Gospel,  isn't something new. When you are talking about a higher power or a higher authority,  people who can't do anything about it, because that thing is higher than them,  yet they don't want to come under it's authority,  would look for ways to stop you. No matter how the people want to stop Gods word from manifesting,  Gods word always gets delivered to whoever it is sent. Acts 4:4. Through the arrest of Peter and John,  there was an opportunity for the message of God to be spread directly to the members of the council.  Acts 4:12-13. In the case of Peter and John,  they we're arrested.  That might not be the case in the world of today.  You might get humiliated and disgraced,  but know that no matter their schemes,  Gods authority surpasses them all. God allows some things to happen in the present because of a manifestation in the future.  Acts 4:10-11. Jesus was crucif
