FAITH CAPSULE: It is the will of God for all His creation to live for His glory.
Exodus 8
It is a responsibility to gain an understanding of why living.
In life, having understanding will determine how far to walk with or before God.
It is how one understands God that determines whether to follow God, living for the glory of God.
Those who walked with God followed God rightly.
Enoch walked with God, with no wrongdoing, until God took him. (Genesis 5:26)
Noah was a just man, perfect in his generations, who walked with God. (Genesis 9:10-11)
Abraham walked before God. (Genesis 17:1)
Walking with God, walking before God, is walking in Him.
The word of God points out that walking with God, walking before God, is walking in Him. Colossians 2:6 confirms, “As you, therefore, have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him.”
How is your walk that God knows?
Walking with God, walking before God, or walking in Him is living for God.
Revelation 4:11 reveals that all His creation lives for Him, exists for Him.
Revelation 4:11 records “You are worthy, O Lord, To receive glory and honor and power; For You created all things, And by Your will they exist and were created.”
Living for God, existing for God, is following Him, to follow Him, to walk worth for His glory.
Follow God as His disciple.
As His disciple is not to live a life of waste.
Not to follow God as His disciples is disobedience to His word.
Disobedience to the word of God is disregarding God.
Disregard for the word of God is bound to be destroyed and not be built up by God (word of God).
Psalm 28:5 speaks to all, “Because they do not regard the works of the Lord, Nor the operation of His hands, He shall destroy them And not build them up.”
Are you giving regard to God in all your ways of life?
Search yourself to know if you are following Him or not following Him.
One who follows wrongly is the same as not following Him.
One set to live for God, called by God, or with the attempt to follow God, is bound to be in a position for the devil with the attempt to deny one following God.
Evidently, where God or what God sets for good is what the devil also intervenes to derail, so as not to live for the glory of God.
What one follows or what is following one consciously or unconsciously is with an agenda to derail, not to arrive at the divine assignment of God.
What follows you, or you follow not to live for the glory of God?
What follows one against the will of one will pose a threat like a slave master.
Like a slave master, what follows will be established by taking away freedom.
One without the ability to free oneself from what is not of God is evil to deny the arrival at serving God as a way of life.
Prayer for today: Ask against forces that are not of God, that shall not have a place in your life.
