WILLINGNESS

Text :  Isaiah 1:19.

If you’re willing and obedient, you’ll eat the best that the land produces. 

Willingness is the strength of obedience, if you are willing, obedience will come to you naturally.

One thing God has blessed humanity with is the will-power. This can however be either a blessing or a curse. 

Your will-power is your power of choice. God didn't create man like robots, He created us and gave us the freedom of choice. But his desire is that we'll willfully choose him.

Like Joshua,  I  want to re-echo it in your ears that you should use your will-power to choose the Lord and His way.

 _And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD._ Joshua 24:15.

Undoubtedly, the choice is yours. But *once your choice is made, you have inevitably chosen the outcome of your choices.* 

So, the reason people disobey is not because obedience is hard but because they are not willing to. That's why people say when there's a 'will', there's a way. 

 *Once you are not willing to do something, you make excuses for it.* There is no excuse anywhere, they are made by unwilling folks to escape taking responsibility. 

Your unwillingness towards God's words will ultimately lead you to disobedience. No one, (not even God) can force you to do what you are not willing to do. There's a common saying that you can force a horse to the river but you cannot force it to drink water. This is so true about humans too. There's a limit to how you can push people to do what they are not willing to do.

If you desire to please God , check your choices. You can intentionally chose to follow God and His instructions from now on, and His Grace will be poured on you to help you.

Bible Reading: Isaiah 1:16-20.

PRAYER FOCUS
1.) Father God, I receive grace to follow your instructions from now on that I may eat the good of the land.

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portray...

IT IS WRITTEN AGAIN

Text: Matthew 4:6. He told Jesus, “Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, because it is written,   ‘God will put his angels in charge of you,’ and,   ‘With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.’ Jesus knocked devil off with "it is written" when he came to him with the first temptation. So, the devil too decided to use "it is written" for Jesus for the second temptation.  Don't be deceived, the devil knows the scriptures too. Second Corinthians 11:14 says,  "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." So, it's no surprise when you see Satan's messengers masquerading themselves as Apostle of Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:14.  The word of God is perfect. Yet, many people can twist it to their advantage and ultimately to their disadvantage. A drunk, smoker, fornicator, liar and all sort can justify their sinful lifestyles with a Bible verse. See to it that you do not twist the word of Go...

TIME IN ETERNITY

Text : Psalms 90:12  So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom._  Our God dwells in eternity past, present and future. In between these phases of eternity, He created man to dwell in Time. When man sinned, he fell short of God's plan, and death came in.(Rom 3:23). Death therefore short circuit man's life in eternity. This is the reason Jesus.came.  He had to come into TIME in order to remove the PAUSE  death HAD on man.  For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16.  Every man born into this world automatically becomes an eternal being. The question therefore is, which side of eternity would such a man dwell? Everlasting life or Everlasting condemnation? Time is an opportunity given to man to trade for eternal life. You have limited time to exchange for eternal life in eternity.  Time offers you the opportunity to ga...
