TUESDAY 13TH MARCH, 2018 MORNING PRAYER DEVOTION
SCRIPTURE:– 1 KINGS 13:1-30
TOPIC:- IT IS DANGEROUS TO DISOBEY
TEXT:- GENESIS 2:16-17
The Hebrew word for disobedience is “marah” which means to be rebellious, to be refractory, to resist, to despise, to quarrel, to have dispute against someone, to be an offender.” literally, it means to be or make bitter or unpleasant. Provocation is an inherent of this term. See numbers 20:24 the faithful man of God from Judah couldn’t be deceived by a wicked king, but he could be fooled by an old retired prophet! If the Lord punished a deceived prophet for his disobedience, how much more would He punish disobedient people today. The prophet from Judah didn’t compromise in his message, but he did compromise in his conduct, and he paid for his disobedience with his life. See 1 kings 13:11-26.
We see Saul also making foolish and unwise decisions, and trying to cover his disobedience with lies. It was the beginning of that tragic decline that ended him in a witch’s and his suicide on the battlefield. Sacrifice without obedience is only hypocrisy and empty religious ritual. See 1 Samuel 15:22.
Disobedience is therefore a cancer worm that must be buried and removed from our lives if truly we want to make heaven and not perish in hell. See 1 Peter 4:18.
Everything God does is perfect, He is never wrong. Often we disobeyed and complained about life, and the negative things that happened to us, forgetting that everything happens for a purpose.
A good attitude towards God’s obedient makes Him move on your behave to save you while a single disobedient or partial obedient can send you to hell. And i believe hell is not for you.
Prayer points:-
1. O Lord God, by your mercy, forgive me of the sin of disobedience.
2. I silence you spirit of disobedience in my life, get out of my life completely.
3. I command all good things that disobedience has robbed, come back to me by fire.
Have a Wonderful Tuesday!
God bless,
Pastor Tim.
