Obedience rules over disobedience

Day 37

Reading: Lev. 26:1- Lev. 27:34

Obedience to the commandments of God would result in great blessings. Rain for the land was tied to obedience to God. God is the same yesterday today and will be tomorrow. He didn't change standards with a change in the dispensation. Obedience to His commandments will yield blessings. Lord, help me to strive to walk in total obedience.

Take note of the blessings God will give as a result of obedience to His law:
  • Rain
  • Harvest- a plentiful harvest.
  • Food that will last seasons. No 'brokeness' in between seasons of provision.
  • Eat to satisfaction, not crumbs.
  • Protection and Preservation.
  • Fearless living.
  • Predators would be removed.
  • War will not be known.
  • Enemies will take flight not me being chased by enemies. Listen to many today and the enemy is chasing them not the other way round. Lord change our story!
  • Unbelievable ratios of success, 5 to chase 100, 100 to put 10000 enemies to flight. 
  • Uncommon favour
  • Fruitfulness
  • Covenant manifestations as God would confirm it. Imagine getting a deal from a billionaire, you call the person to confirm whether its true. That's how God confirms the covenant. 
  • No leftovers because the new will override the old. 
  • God would dwell with us and He would not abhor us for our sinful nature.
  • God would walk in our midst. 
  • I would be a child of God. I would be identified with God.
  • Freedom, for God, has brought me out to destroy the bands of slavery.
Disobedience to God would result in many evils.
  • Terror would be their master.
  • Disease
  • Delay in vision resulting in fever.
  • Sorrow of heart
  • Enemies will take the harvest.
  • God would fight against them.
  • Enemies would reign over them
  • Fear led life. Flee when no one is pursuing you.
  • 7 times more punishment if a change is not evidenced as soon as expected and seven times more plagues than what they saw in Egypt.
  • God would humble them. Better to humble oneself than for God to humble one.
  • Closed heavens and no harvests.
  • Work with no results.
  • Wild predators would roam freely killing anyone and anything.
  • Without protection, no one would be free to transact or go anywhere.
  • War.
  • Pestilence.
  • Famine and Drought.
  • Starvation
  • Scattered and pursued by the enemies.
  • Faintness in hearts that a leaf will trouble our lives.
  • Reduction in population and posterity.
God is a God of mercy. He declares that if His people repent and turn back to Him, He would remember the covenant of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and gather His people together. God does not break His covenant. He would remember the land and the people if the people repented and humbled themselves acknowledging their sin. 

The tithe is the Lord's not a man and only to be used as directed by God. The book of Leviticus ends with instructions on the tithe. May we always remember that we belong to God. 

Memory Verse: Lev. 26:44

Decree:

Father, thank You for Your mercy. Your covenant You never forget. Thank You, Lord. I repent of every disobedience I have allowed in my life. I come before You and plead for the Blood to speak mercy over all. I will walk uprightly before you all the days of my life. I decree the Covenant of God comes alive and I am restored to the land of promise. I decree that I am a tither. I give joyfully to the Lord in Jesus name. Amen

Absalom's Treachery

Day 91 Reading: 2 Sam. 14:1 - 2 Sam. 15:37 One of life's most painful lessons is the treachery of human beings. When family or friends hurt you and leave you grieving the pain is not the same as when someone out on the street does something wrong. The pain goes deeper and it's easy to become bitter. Absalom had fled from Israel knowing that he was a wanted man for the murder and revenge on Ammon his step-brother. Joab arranged for a wise woman to go see David and get him to forgive Absalom. The wise woman made David realise that he was not setting a godly example by exiling Absalom. The wise woman made David understand that God will not banish anyone but he will seek the person out. God will do everything in His power to restore the banished person. The wise woman was asking David not to forget the grace of God that enables one to enjoy forgiveness. David gets Absalom brought back to Jerusalem however for 2 years he didn't see him. Now, this was worse than ...

Arise!!

The world today is one where many feel as though life is beating them down. The different challenges we face in this journey called life have punched many down and out. The fuel price increases, the job cuts, economic recession in different parts of the world, government changes either through the ballot or bullet, governments going broke, floods, drought, to just but name a few things facing many in the world today. It's difficult to go to a party and you don't hear bad news relating to someone you know. The world is changing. The weather patterns are affected by global warming, societal values held by previous generations are being obliterated by the ones following, and guess what, life for many is a nightmare. Today, I want to encourage that person who is lying down beaten by life. We all at times go through situations in life where we are down. It may appear that life's challenges have handed down a technical knockout blow, but humanity was not made to be beaten by lif...

From the Pit to Safety

The news about the miners rescue has filled the atmosphere with a real lever of optimism. What began as a sad tale has ended well. As I have followed this story over the last 69 days I have had a few thoughts about some of the symbolism of this whole experience. In life we all will find ourselves in a pit (mine) of some sort.Thus the decision to see what I could learn from these great gentlemen. Firstly, they were miners. Do you realise that we all are miners in life? You may not mine for copper but as a lawyer you are mining legal matters that bring you profit. You may be a doctor whose responsibility is to mine to the root of the issue that is troubling a patients body!! We all are mining for a living!!! The miners numbered 33. Jesus was 33 when He was buried. After He died He was buried before He arose. We saw 33 men come out alive. Talk about a resurrection in their lives and in the lives of the men, families, and nation. Each miner underwent change. Whilst in the darkness of th...
