FAITH CAPSULE: <\/strong>Search self to be corrected from disobeying God and not settle for self destruction.<\/p>\n

John 2:1-12<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Disobeying the word of God is taking a step for self destruction. Seeking the reason for being set on wrong ground is rooted on failure to obey God\u2019s word. God does no evil but evil\u2019s occurrence in the life of man\u2019s life is a conscious or unconscious opening of door for evil. Simple direction in God\u2019s word sounded for Lot\u2019s wife to escape from destruction which was set upon Sodom and Gomorah. Word of God directed Lot and his wife, \u201c\u2026Escape 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\u2019s wife despised the word of God as she settled for self-destruction. To be delivered is rooted in God\u2019s word and to be destroyed is deposited in disobeying the word of God. Bible recorded wife of Lot\u2019s choice to settle for self-destruction by disobeying God\u2019s word for deliverance. It is written, \u201cBut his wife looked back behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.\u201d
\n<\/em><\/strong>Search self to be corrected from disobeying God and not settle for self destruction. 1 Samuel 15:22 warned<\/em><\/strong>, \u201c\u2026Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to heed than the fat of rams.\u201d <\/em><\/strong>Disobeying God\u2019s word is despising the word of God. Proverbs 13:13 warned, \u201cHe who despises the word will be destroyed, but he who fears the commandment will be rewarded.\u201d<\/em><\/strong> Engaging word of God is obedience to be saved. Engaging word of God is the evidence of trusting and hoping in God for what He can do. Obeying the word of God is what it takes to mark man as faithful one. \u00a0Are you constantly obeying the Word of God?
\nObeying word of God is to avoid any destruction in every challenge. For example, obedience displaced disobedience from destroying wedding in Cana of Galilee. John 2:1-2 <\/em><\/strong>stated, \u201c\u2026<\/em><\/strong>there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there.\u00a0 Now both Jesus and His disciples were invited to the wedding.\u201d<\/em><\/strong> Despite the presence of Jesus, shame showed up at the wedding to discolor the wedding when there was no more wine to serve. Bible recorded, \u201cAnd when they ran out of wine, the mother of Jesus said to Him, \u201cThey have no wine. Jesus said to her, <\/em><\/strong>\u201cWoman,<\/em><\/strong> what does your concern have to do with Me?<\/em><\/strong> My hour has not yet come. <\/em><\/strong>His mother said to the servants, \u201cWhatever He says to you, do it.\u201d<\/em><\/strong>\u201d<\/em><\/strong> (John 2:3-5) <\/em><\/strong>Jesus\u2019 response was not discouraging to the mother of Jesus. Rather, she encouraged the servants at the wedding not to despise His word for deliverance from shame. The word of Jesus speaks to all as stated, \u201cWhatever He says to you, do it.\u201d
\n<\/em><\/strong>Is the word of God missing in your life to settle you from destruction?
\nBecome obedient by doing exactly what word commanded. Be obedient to God\u2019s word and Let His command rule in every area of your life.<\/p>\n

Prayer for today:<\/strong> Ask for the grace to be continual by doing as commanded in God\u2019s word.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
