OBEYING GOD RATHER THAN MEN.

                   
OBEYING GOD RATHER THAN MEN
Acts 5 vs. 29: Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, we ought to obey GOD rather than men. To obey is to do as one is told; it means to be obedient. Obedient is willing to comply with the commands, orders or instructions of those in authority. GOD’s rules and commands should be obeyed by men. Peter and other Apostles told the Sadducees, we ought to obey GOD and not men. Many are obeying men’s rule and command and neglect GOD’s rule. GOD’s rule and command is superior, because He made man. Many fear men than GOD, when you fear GOD; you will have no one else to fear. The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom. Are you obeying GOD or men’s philosophy? Men’s rule and command at times is against GOD’s rule and command. We are to obey GOD and neglect men’s rule and philosophy. Many have been derailed and punished for disobeying GOD’s voice. Many don’t even recognize GOD’s voice when He speaks. Obeying GOD is expedient; because He knows all and sees all. Obeying GOD brings safety and blessings. Obeying GOD brings happiness and rest of mind. Obeying men’s rule and philosophy is vain and it fails. GOD appeared to Isaac not to go down into Egypt, but dwell in the land which He shall tell him of. He was like his father Abraham; he obeyed and dwelt in the land. And because of this, GOD blessed him and confirmed the oath He swore to his father Abraham; also because Abraham his father obeyed GOD’s voice and kept his commands and rules.
          Genesis 26 vs. 3-6: Sojourn in this land and I will be with you, and will bless you; for to you, and to your seed, I will give all these countries and I will perform the oath which I swore to Abraham your father. And I will make your seed to multiply as the stars of heaven, and will give to your seed all these countries; and in your seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed. Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments; my statutes and my law. And Isaac dwelt in Gerar. Many find it difficult nowadays to obey GOD’s voice, rule and command. It is pertinent to obey GOD. GOD told Moses, if the Israelites will obey his voice and keep his covenant, they will become a peculiar treasure to Him above all people on earth. There are personalities here on earth who are peculiar treasure to GOD above all people on earth, just because they obey his voice, rule and command. Exodus 19 vs. 5: Now therefore, if you will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant then you shall be a peculiar treasure to me above all people; for all the earth is mine.

             Furthermore, Saul feared men than GOD and disobeyed GOD’s voice. Obedience is better than sacrifice. GOD told him to utterly destroy the Amalekites and fight against them until they be consumed; but he destroyed the Amalekites and held unto their spoil. A spoil, spoils you. 1 Samuel 15 vs. 20 -22: And Saul said to Samuel, yea, I have obeyed the voice of the LORD and have gone the way which the LORD sent me, and have brought Agag the king of Amalek, and have utterly destroyed the Amalekites. But the people took of the spoil, sheep and oxen, the chief of the things which should have been utterly destroyed, to sacrifice to the LORD your GOD in Gilgal. And Samuel said, has the LORD has great delight in burned offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold to obey is better than sacrifices, and to hearken than the fat of rams. Vs. 23-24: For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatory. Because you have rejected the word of the LORD. He has also rejected you from being king. And Saul said to Samuel, I have sinned. For I have transgressed the commandments of the LORD, and your words; because I feared the people and obeyed their voice. It pays to obey GOD’s rule, voice, rule and command. It is well with us….

ONCE A FAITHFUL WIFE, AND NOW A PROSTITUTE

ONCE A FAITHFUL WIFE, AND NOW A PROSTITUTE! Compliments of the season from this side of the world to you all!!! Knowledge of the Truth is back and better this year. And I pray this year shall be a favorable one for us all. The word Faithful means reliable, worthy of trust, loyal and adhering firmly to a rule. It means consistency. It means fidelity. As a wife, it is expected you are reliable, worthy of trust, loyal and adhere to your husband’s rule and command. Ephesians 5 vs. 22: Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the LORD. The husband is in charge of his wife in the same way CHRIST is in charge of his body the Church. A submissive wife will be faithful without any conditions. She makes fidelity her watchword. A submissive wife obeys all her husband rule and command. A submissive wife is conscious of her wrongs. A submissive wife yields to authority (her husband’s). A submissive wife will always stand by her husband in thick and thin. A submissive wif

AN OUTCAST

AN OUTCAST An outcast is one that has been excluded from a society or system. He is labeled a beggar. He is an outsider. An outcast is a person that lacks care. An outcast is neglected and overlooked. He is demoralized. He is wounded in heart. He is labeled whom no one cares. He is one that has lost hope. He is one who is frustrated and dejected. He is one who is always deep in thoughts and sorrowful. He is one who lives like a foreigner in his own land. He is one who is distressed. He is one who gets dispossessed of his possessions. He is one who is perplexed. He is one who is troubled on every side. He is one who is despair. He is afraid of tomorrow. CHRIST came that we might have a restored hope. He came to bare that burden of ours. He came to give us that expected end. He came that we might have peace. He came that we might be healed . Isaiah 53 vs. 5: But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon him, and w

DREAMS ARE NOT DELUSIONS

DREAMS ARE NOT DELUSIONS This is a very fascinating topic, dreams are not delusions. Many do think dreams are just fictions, some see as a normal way of life. Many do not take their dream serious which shouldn’t be, some see dreams as delusions, some don’t even dream, why some forget what they dreamt about. Dream is a medium in which GOD communicates with us, he communicates to us through vision, trance and also consciences, but we are discussing about dream. Although, many a time what you are thinking about before you sleep, you might see it again; but majorly it does not continue like that. The bible said in Job 33 vs 15: In dreams, in vision of the night, when deep sleep falls on men as they lie on their beds; he opens their ears in time like that and gives them wisdom and instruction. That is just a picture of dream, everyone has a dream land; but some’s has been tampered with by the devil. A dream land is an avenue for dreams; GOD gives instructions to us in the dream, ju
