Following God's Instructions (scriptural instructions)
All bible verses used in this post was taken from NLT bible version
Isaiah cp 20 Vs 8
You are to answer them, listen to what the Lord is teaching you. Don't listen to mediums-what they tell you cannot keep trouble away.
2timothy 3 Vs 16
All scripture is inspired by God and is useful for teaching the truth, rebuking error, correcting faults, and giving instruction for right living.
Literally, these verses are telling us that anything that is not in the scripture is from the pit of hell.
Scriptural instructions at times don't make natural sense, too simple to be true but as Christians it's our obligation to follow these instructions as it helps us to be fully qualified and equipped as a child of God.
Let's take a look at the lives of the children of Israel, God clearly instruct them not to worship other gods but they disobeyed and paid dearly for it.
Deuteronomy 32 Vs 9-27 describe how God blessed Israel and how He destroyed them when they disobey him.
Disobedience to God's instruction always comes with a price. Scriptural instructions may not make sense to humans but when applied victory becomes the order of the day.
John 2 Vs 7-9
Jesus said to the servants, 'fill these jars with water ' they filled them to the brim and then He told them 'now draw some water out and take it to the man in charge of the feast' They took him the water, which now had turned into wine and he tasted it.
From the scripture above It's shows that following instructions will surely leads to victory. They needed wine but Jesus said get me water, it sounds weird but they did it and got what they wanted which means some instructions if not all are in parables, you don't need to understand them now, just do what you are told to do
The book of Deuteronomy chapter 28 deceive the blessings and consequences of obedience and disobedience.
Don't let anybody devalue scriptural instructions in your sight, it may not make sense but it quarantee result.
So which do you want? Sense or result?
May God in His infinite mercy give us grace to always follow His instructions in Jesus name. Amen.
