FOLLOWING THE LORD GOD OF THE BIBLE (1)

0 Comments
Israel followed God to the Promised Land

Israel followed the LORD God, who led them in the Exodus

1)            In the Garden of Eden, the male Adam did not have to trek or go long distance to put food on the table. Every life’s sustaining edibility was right there in the Garden, which doubles as his home. When the installation of sin got its permeation in the fabric of humanity, owing to Adamic original disobedience, a righteous world began to experience hell. Since then Satanism had become the order of the days of living intelligence in the world: albeit spiritual, another cataclysm, a similitude of what obtained before the re-creationism of Genesis chapter one verse 3. Consequently, Lucifer, the author of sinfulness, had assumed the administrative control of our terra firma.

                The demonic change of order sends the man far away from home, in order to put food on the table and to clothe the members of his family. Whose turn is it to stay at home, is it not the woman? After all, the ‘Woman’, ‘ishshâh (ish-shaw’), essentially ‘Wife’ happens to be, according to Divine design, Adam the male’s ‘help meet’ which in Hebrew is ‛êzer (ay’-zer): ‘help, succour; one who helps.’ Now, ‛êzer has its root in ‛âzar (aw-zar’): ‘to surround, that is, protect or aid.’ If the man has to leave the home in obedience to ‘dress it and keep it’, a delegated authority must be passed onto the ‘ishshâh. Following God is sacrosanct, ergo, nonnegotiable.

Clay turned living soul must follow God to live.

The dust became a living soul; he must follow the LORD God.

                Truth be told, nothing exempts the woman from working as well to enable abundance of family wealth. That notwithstanding, should the first ever laws – dress it and keep it – of the Divinity to Adam become obsolete? God forbid, eternally extant are the laws of Divine promulgation. It is wrong for the man to seek for an excuse to jettison God’s “dress it and keep it” neither can he, for any reason, decide not to love his wife. The woman should not dare belittle her husband just because she is the family’s breadwinner, and consequently refuse to abide by the divine legislation of “wives submit yourselves unto your own husbands”. Disobedience to God’s word makes one an Antichrist, why? God’s Word is a Personage – Jesus Christ, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty, the everlasting Father.

                For the instruction of God is the eternality of the Christ, the Logos, His precepts become the elixir of intelligent life. When your prayers concerning something receive expected result, it is time to praise God for that thing all the days of your life. You must follow God; it is disastrous not to do so.

                You cannot win an election and see yourself as the god of the people. God did not answer your prayers to make you independent of His Divinity. You must continue to follow His leading word. It will be quite unfortunate for erstwhile jobless Job to find excuses for not attending Church Services, now that he finally found a very good accountancy job with a mouthwatering pay, in the name of “too much loads of work”. How can rich Job forget the LORD his God? Maybe Job should go back to joblessness.

For disobedience, all the antediluvian population died, save Noah’s family of eight.

The antediluvian miscreants had 120 years to follow God in truth and in Spirit

                For one hundred and twenty years of Noah’s nine centuries of earthly life, the antediluvian saint preached to a dying world. Followership of God is a continuous exercise. It does not come to a ceasing chapter simply because the One of our following is the Eternal Father with Whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. When God told Abraham, “Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will shew thee:” what kept father Abraham in God’s direction was the spoken word out of the mouth of the Most High Jehovah. Following God is predicated on the obedience to His Word.

                “Faith”, it says somewhere, “cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God” (Romans 10:17). ‘Cometh’ is not in the original Pauline script; the preposition ‘by’, preceding the first ‘hearing’, is ek (ek): ‘A primary preposition denoting origin (the point whence motion or action proceeds), from, out (of place, time or cause;’ and the second ‘by’ is dia (dee-ah’): ‘A primary preposition denoting the channel of an act; through (in very wide applications, local, causal or occasional).’ The True Object running through the hearing channel of the developed faith is the express Word of God. Abraham only heard, without seeing the mouthing Entity of those words of instruction; Abraham believed and remained unwavering throughout his twenty-five years short of two centuries earthly abode. His faithfulness made God to robe him in His righteousness. Some, we understand, did not have respect for the Word of God.

Followers of Jesus are God’s children

Follow Jesus, the Good Shepherd, and you will not be in want of spiritual beneficence.

                Getting born again is a conscious effort on the part of an individual. Get born again. You were born in sin. Say this sinner’s prayer.

“Dear heavenly Father, I come to You now in the name of Jesus Christ. I believe in my heart that Jesus is the Son of God. I believe that Jesus died on the cross for my sin. I believe that You raised Him from the dead. I confess with my mouth that Jesus is Lord and I receive Him now as my Lord and my Saviour. I give God all the glory. Amen!”
