FAITH CAPSULE: <\/strong>Looking back in the past instead of looking forward will derail man from getting to expected destination.<\/p>\n

Genesis 19<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

In making decision, seeking God\u2019s counsel is certain not to make a wrong decision. Man must give self to God\u2019s counsel for right decision. Counsel from God is always nearer for man that will believe to approach and engage His counsel. Deuteronomy 30:14 <\/em><\/strong>testified that God is near, \u201cBut the word is very near you, in your mouth and in your heart, that you may do it.\u201d Romans 10:8 buttressed, \u201cBut what does it say? \u201cThe word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart\u201d (that is, the word of faith which we preach)\u201d\u201d<\/em><\/strong> Making a wrong decision is the evidence of moving away from God\u2019s direction. Making decision outside of God is despising the word of God. Proverbs 13:13<\/em><\/strong> warned us, \u201c<\/em><\/strong>He who despises the word will be destroyed, But he who fears the commandment will be rewarded.\u201d<\/em><\/strong> For man, it is lack of fear for God to despise God\u2019s word to enter self-destruction.
\nMaking decision outside of God is ignoring the word of God that is always near man. Also, deciding outside of God\u2019s word can be the evidence of disobedience. Ignoring not to approach God and disobeying the word of God is the truth that evidence makes a destitute of a believer.
\nAfter God had decided to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah because of the sinful nature of the land, He sent warning to Lot and his wife. \u201c\u2026<\/em><\/strong>Escape for your life! Do not look behind you nor stay anywhere in the plain. Escape to the mountains, lest you be destroyed.\u201d (Genesis 19:17) <\/em><\/strong>Lot and wife believed God enough to move from destruction into deliverance. However, maintaining deliverance of God over Lot and wife demanded obedience not to make a wrong decision on their route of deliverance. Commanding word of God required from Lot and wife \u201cnot to look behind\u201d but the wife of Lot looked back. Lot\u2019s wife decided to despise the word of God. Decision against the word of God resulted to destruction. The Bible recorded, \u201cBut his wife looked back behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.<\/em><\/strong> (Genesis 19:26)
\n<\/em><\/strong>Today, just like Lot and wife\u2019s documentation of deliverance, many have received the grace of salvation but could not maintain the grace of salvation because of wrong decision. With salvation at hand, many are looking away from God to find a sudden and untimely self-termination. Whatever in the past which man cannot give away to give self to the word of God is set to terminate man from arriving God\u2019s destination. Looking back in the past instead of looking forward will derail man from getting to expected destination.
\nThis New Year, ask God for the grace to be taking counsel in the word of God to forgive and move forward. Avoid looking back to allow the open door ahead and not to experience shut door. Decision that is rooted in God\u2019s word does not wrong.<\/p>\n

Prayer for today:<\/strong> Ask for the grace of obedience to be established over your life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
