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….

OUR DAYS.

OUR DAYS Greetings to all reading on this platform worldwide. I write on this topic OUR DAYS even as   my twin sister and I are a year older today. Glory be to GOD for a new year and a new day. A song says great is thy faithfulness, Oh LORD my father, morning by morning new mercies we see, all we have needed his hands have provided, Great is thy faithfulness. Truly great is his faithfulness toward all men. Many are not convinced of these, many don’t see something special in GOD’s faithfulness towards them. David said “Then I lay down and slept in peace and woke up safely, for the LORD was watching over me. He GOD never sleeps nor slumber over us, we just find out we sleep and before you know it, you open your eye to a new day. This is the LORD’s doing and it should be marvelous in our sights. We are to see reasons to always appreciate and thank GOD for his goodness, mercies and faithfulness. That you are alive shows He is faithful. The gift of life which is the greatest of...

FAITHFUL WHO HAD PROMISED.

FAITHFUL WHO HAD PROMISED To be faithful is to be reliable, worthy of trust and consistent with reality. A faithful man pledges and might later be unfaithful. For instance, couples make vows at the altar during their wedding, but these vows don’t stop the man or woman from breaking promises and vow. A married man finds himself cheating outside marriage despite all vows made during his wedding, because he is not faithful. You find cheating outside marriage is a common thing now, which shouldn’t be. Husbands drink from your own well, stick to her and figure out things by praying together. Wives drink from your own well, stick to him no matter what he has done. A man is not the faithful who had promised, because men fails and break their promise. Only GOD is the faithful who had promised. The bible said cursed be he that put his trust in the arm of flesh. The arm of flesh will surely fail. You been promised something by your uncle or aunt doesn’t guarantee you will be given the th...
