INSTRUCTIONS, THE CHILDREN'S GUIDE

-

 Deuteronomy 4:44-45

This is the body of instruction that Moses presented to the Israelites.

These are the laws, decrees, and regulations that Moses gave to the people of Israel when they left Egypt,


The children of Israel were about to enter the promised land. One thing was important - instructions.


Every nation that will survive and prosper would need to be guided by instructions. There is no way you can build any solid foundation  without instructions. Good laws make the land great.


Proverbs 7:1-2

Follow my advice, my son; always treasure my commands. Obey my commands and live! Guard my instructions as you guard your own eyes.


If only the children of Israel had stuck to obedience they would surely have continued to prosper and conquer their enemies.


As believers we also need to stick with God's instructions. That is the only way we can prosper and win in this world and thus take our position here and in the world to come.


Proverbs 4:13

Take hold of my instructions; don’t let them go. Guard them, for they are the key to life.


There is a great error most people make when it comes to instructions, they talk of not being under the law. They say we are under grace, however what they do not understand is that grace never comes alone, it comes with TRUTH!


What is truth?


John 1:17 

For the law was given by Moses, [but] grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.


Let's listen to Christ conversation with the Father.


John 17:13-14,17

“Now I am coming to you. I told them many things while I was with them in this world so they would be filled with my joy.

I have given them your word. And the world hates them because they do not belong to the world, just as I do not belong to the world.

Make them holy by your truth; teach them your word, which is truth.


If you don't live by God's instruction you can't live in His holiness, you should therefore not expect to encounter Him.


We have a lot of problems in the church today because people are not discipled therefore discipline is lacking!


Children are brought up without proper instructions and guidance then we complain of their character later on.


We need to bring back the place of discipleship in the church, our homes and our community. Discipline birthed from good instructions should be the order of the day.


If the world isn't getting it right, what of the church? Are we?


It is time to bring God back into our lives, not just to meet our needs and answer our prayers but having His nature imprinted in us, for that is how He made us.


The Lord strengthen all those who continue to walk in obedience to Him. Let those who have lost their way return to the Lord.


Matthew 5:16,48

In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father.

But you are to be perfect, even as your Father in heaven is perfect.


We cannot have these number of believers and yet have no impact on the world.


Beginning from me the Glory of the Lord shall fill the whole earth.


Help us Good Lord.


PRAYER

Lord help me walk in obedience to Your instruction, keeping Your status as Your Spirit continues to lead me. Glorify Yourself in me Lord, let me always be in Your presence. Glory to Your name forevermore.


He calls us blessed.


Love

MAINTAIN A GODLY MARRIAGE

-
Judges 13:2-3,6,10 In those days a man named Manoah from the tribe of Dan lived in the town of Zorah. His wife was unable to become pregnant, and they had no children. The angel of the Lord appeared to Manoah’s wife and said, “Even though you have been unable to have children, you will soon become pregnant and give birth to a son. The woman ran and told her husband, “A man of God appeared to me! He looked like one of God’s angels, terrifying to see. I didn’t ask where he was from, and he didn’t tell me his name. So she quickly ran and told her husband, “The man who appeared to me the other day is here again!” We live in times when the institution of marriage is being destroyed from in and out of the church. Divorce rate is high and many are in a marriage but are not happy therein. What is the problem? God has been taken out of the equation. How? Jesus said: Matthew 19:8 Jesus replied, “Moses permitted divorce only as a concession to your hard hearts, but it was not what God had origina

Remember: God is in control.

As we go through the 11th month of this year of accomplishment, let us be reminded. When it seems to hurt so much, or it all looks quiet and alone, when it appears not to work out. Please don't give up, God is still in control Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. My dear it is not about how you feel, and not about what it seems, it is about what He Has promised and He who promised is sure to keep His Word. Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Jeremiah 29:12 " Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you." God is in control and His plans for you are good. He has already done it. Romans 4:21 " and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform." Have a

NEEDLESS BATTLES

-
Judges 12:1-4 Then the people of Ephraim mobilized an army and crossed over the Jordan River to Zaphon. They sent this message to Jephthah: “Why didn’t you call for us to help you fight against the Ammonites? We are going to burn down your house with you in it!” Jephthah replied, “I summoned you at the beginning of the dispute, but you refused to come! You failed to help us in our struggle against Ammon. So when I realized you weren’t coming, I risked my life and went to battle without you, and the Lord gave me victory over the Ammonites. So why have you now come to fight me?” The people of Ephraim responded, “You men of Gilead are nothing more than fugitives from Ephraim and Manasseh.” So Jephthah gathered all the men of Gilead and attacked the men of Ephraim and defeated them. When the Lord does not lead you, you become prone to minding and walking with unnecessary things, like fighting unnecessary battles and stirring evil sentiments. I have always said that devices like racism, tri
