FAITH CAPSULE: <\/strong>Stop snubbing God\u2019s instruction.<\/p>\n

Exodus 3 <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Snubbing the word of God is same as rejecting the word of God. The Israelites repeatedly experienced deliverance of God but yet could not give themselves to the word of God. When the Israelites could not drink the water at Marah they could not remember the word of deliverance but complained. Word of God answered them, \u201cIf you diligently heed the voice of the <\/em><\/strong>Lord<\/em><\/strong> your God and do what is right in His sight, give ear to His commandments and keep all His statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you which I have brought on the Egyptians. For I am the <\/em><\/strong>Lord<\/em><\/strong> who heals you.\u201d<\/em><\/strong> (Exodus 15:26) <\/em><\/strong>Engaging the instructions of God is enabling healing. Also, snubbing God\u2019s instruction for one\u2019s life is substituting one\u2019s glorious destiny in God.
\nThe word of God gave a clear instruction for us to keep His Spirit alive in our life when it stated in 1 Thessalonians 5:16-19, \u201cRejoice always, pray without ceasing,\u00a0 in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Jesus for you. Do not quench the Spirit.\u201d <\/em><\/strong>\u00a0When the Spirit of God is active in us, no activity that lines up against God can overcome us in the journey of life.
\nAvoid snubbing the word of God by replacing convenience with commitment which is the key to embrace the promise of God. The children of Israel were called out of bondage of over four hundred years to a land that flows with milk and honey. It was a promise but they could not avoid snubbing the word of God but repeatedly complaint. God gave His word of promise to the children of Israel stating, \u201cSo I have come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up from that land to a good and large land, to a land flowing with milk and honey\u2026\u201d (Exodus 3:8)<\/em><\/strong> God\u2019s promise, His command demands diligent commitment. However, the story changed when the children of Israel, the tribe of Gad and the tribe of Reuben settled for convenience and could not commit to the promise in the word of God.
\nWe do not engage the word of God for quoting purpose but to qualify ourselves for the promises of God and not make ourselves a loser. Also, we do not engage the word of God to impress the world around us but to press further and not make ourselves vulnerable to the pressure of this wicked world. Are you one that embraces the word of God seriously by meditating on it day and night, to observe and do according to His instruction? It is important to know that the word of God is a priority for having life abundantly. God cannot be deceived.
\nAre you finding comfort by embracing what the Lord did not promise you?
\nStop snubbing God\u2019s instruction.<\/p>\n
