In this kingdom, everything answers to our obedience to God´s commandment; if you are not obeying the commandment of the highest order, you cannot be in command of things. They will not respond to you. You give and receive; that is how life is.
In this kingdom, good success and prosperous ways are not a promise; they are a covenant. The bible is not a book of promise. It is a book of covenant; it is a book of law, and laws are meant to be observed and obeyed. Disobedience to the law has consequences, and every lawbreaker will definitely face the music.
We cannot transfer all our responsibility to God. It is an error; any child who folds her arms and watches her parents take full responsibility for her life is irresponsible, and our God does not raise irresponsible children. We cannot blame anyone for our failure, including the devil, because what we need to silence the devil has been written in the book of law. What the devil does is take advantage of us in our walk with God. He is monitoring our affair to see how we are conducting ourselves so that he can pound on our errors, but that will not be you, in Jesus' name.
Joshua 1:8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. 9 Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest. 10 Then Joshua commanded the officers of the people, saying, 11 Pass through the host, and command the people, saying, Prepare you victuals; for within three days ye shall pass over this Jordan, to go in to possess the land, which the LORD your God giveth you to possess it.
Our obedience to God´s instruction is the answer to everything we need to live a stress-free life. As soon as Joshua obeyed God´s command and began to do the same, he commanded the people, and they responded to him. The reason many are stagnated is that they are not obeying God´s commandment. God is waiting for our response to the last instruction He gave to us, but remember, He will not wait forever.
God knows that there is a need for understanding in our relationship with Him; that is why He will spend time to tell us what we need to do to bring the full fulfilment of His promise in our lives. After the death of Moses, the servant of God, God spoke to Joshua. He told him that He can repeat what He did in the life of Moses if he will obey His instruction as Moses did. He shows Joshua the secret of good success and that he will not be disappointed if he follows the steps. In the same way, God can repeat what he did in the life of Joseph in Egypt in our lives if we follow the secret of success written in the book of law. If we did what Joseph, Daniel, and Moses did, we would command good success like them.
From (Joshua 1:3-9), God did not say that He will give them every place the sole of their feet tread, no, He said He has given it to them, which means, it is a done deal. In the eyes of God, He has already defeated the enemies for them, but they need to do their own part, and their part is to obey every instruction in the book of law. Satan, our adversary, is stalking us day and night, waiting for us to disobey instructions so that he can stop our advancement or cause a delay in our journey. In the same way, Jesus Christ has won the victory for us, but to lay hold of our blessing, we need to take responsibility.
Matthew 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. 18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
Jesus Christ says that he did not come to do away with the law; instead, he came to fulfil the law, which means God has not changed His law; instead, He made it better, and easier for us to follow. He summarises it for us, and with the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, grace has come for us, and what grace does is to give us access to the throne of grace anytime we break the law, so that Satan will not take advantage of us. Our access to the throne of grace is insistent, and that cripples Satan's activities in our lives as a believer.
John 15:10 (If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love. 12 This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. 14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you).
Friends, if Jesus Christ obeys the commandment of the Father and fulfils his assignment, you, as his followers, cannot fulfil your destiny without obeying God's commandment. Remember that every word of God written in the Bible is a commandment. 1 John 5:3 (For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous).
PRAYER:
Lord Jesus, give me the grace to take personal responsibility in my walk with you; open my eyes to see what I need to do in Scripture to lay hold of your promise for me. Thank you, Jesus (Amen).
Our understanding of scripture is critical in our walk with God; every commandment of the bible is meant to be observed and obeyed. You can't obey the instructions you don't understand, and you can't have access to the voice of God if you are not his son or daughter. Jesus Christ obeys his Father's commandment. Friends, if you want God to be your Father, please hurry up, pray the salvation prayer below, and be blessed, in Jesus name.
Lord Jesus, I repent of my sins and accept You as my Lord and Saviour. I believe you died for me so that I could become a new man/woman. Forgive me all my sins, wash me with your blood, and give me a new heart. Thank you, Lord, for saving my soul. Now I believe I am born again. And I am a child of God. Amen!
NENE ISAH,
