LESSONS LEARNT FROM THIRD ARTICLE

LESSON ONE

MAYOWA'S PARENTS DIED EARLY AS A RESULT OF DISOBEDIENCE

     Disobedience is a very great offence. Mayowa's parents were fully aware that they ought not to go out that day. They went out because there was no food at home. They could have waited that day and drank only water throughout the day rather than disobey but, they sought for another way and they thought they could easily come back without anyone knowing. 

     We are going to learn about obedience, patience, perseverance, self-will (deception) and disobedience.

OBEDIENCE

     Obedience is better than sacrifice. Hearken to instructions, especially those from God. Obedience starts from small matters. Fast today, you could not fast. Pray for someone, you didn't. Put on this particular cloth, you didn't. Do something good, you didn't. Great men and women in God's kingdom are people of obedience.

     Noah heard the voice of God to build an ark according to a specific pattern, also to keep every living creature alive, and he simply obeyed God. For a long period of time, about one hundred years, Noah was building according to pattern. Can you stay true to your convictions in the midst of an "unfavourable" environment for a long period of time and not compromise? Have you not bent your standard to be able to move with the tide? He kept every living creature alive. He did not deny one of them the access into the ark because he hated it or disliked it. As a believer in Christ, let the love of God saturate your whole being.  Just imagine how long it would take snail to enter into the ark. Have you not given up on that assignment given to you by God simply because results were not quickly forthcoming?

     Abraham, the father of faith simply obeyed God when God instructed him to leave his father's house to a land he will show him. He had trust in God, he had the assurance that God is going to take good care of him. When God instructed him to sacrifice his only son Isaac, he had faith that even if he died, God is able to raise him from the dead. How is your faith in God? Do you still have that child-like faith that God is able to provide, to take care of you or you are working things on your own? Have you lost your dependence on God? It's time to come back.

LESSONS FROM ARTICLE TWO

 2) Prayerlessness: James 5:17-18 "Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months. And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit."  Even after delay is for an appointed time, we need to understand when its timing is over, in order to avoid prolonged delay. Elijah prayed earnestly that it would not rain and it did not rain on ground for three years and six months. In 1 Kings 18:41, Elijah prophesied about a sound of abundance of rain and to bring it to pass, he went to pray earnestly. 1 Kings 18:42. Prayerlessness prolongs delay but prayer brings it to an end. Hannah went up to Shiloh to pray unto the Lord and made a vow. I Samuel 1:10-11. She had been delayed in Child bearing; the Lord shut up her womb. She prayed unto God to remember her. We need to pray unto God. Are you experiencing any form of delay, pray unt

CAUSES OF DELAY (CONT'D) LESSONS FROM SECOND ARTICLE

 5) Sin Proverbs 14:34 "Righteousness exalteth a nation: But sin is a reproach to any people.  Sin is a major cause of delay. Some people experience delay, not because God wants it but, because they have sinned. Moses and the children of Israel experienced delay in the wilderness, because of the sin of disobedience. Num. 14:34 "After the number of the days in which ye searched the land, even forty days, each day for a year, shall ye bear your iniquities, even forty years, and ye shall know my breach of promise." Joshua 5:6 "For the children of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness, till all the people that were men of war, which came out of Egypt, were consumed, because they obeyed not the voice of the LORD: unto whom the LORD sware that he would not shew them the land, which the LORD sware unto their fathers that he would give us, a land that floweth with milk and honey."  Disobedience is sin and it can lead to delay in the fulfilment of God's promis

LESSON TWO (SECOND ARTICLE)

TOUGH TIMES NEVER LAST BUT TOUGH PEOPLE DO. In the article, Prince and Mrs Adeyori faced some tough times which were as a result of a single challenge which was inability to give birth after wedding. They were abused and mocked but the Lord came through for them at the appointed time; after eight years. One can imagine the shame they would have had for eight years. It was not an easy ordeal they had to pass through, but God helped them through it. You, also, might be facing a tough time presently or later. It might be in health, finances, relationship, family, place of work, business, academics or spiritual life. May I remind you that tough times never last? God is always there for you. What he require of you is for you to call unto him and trust him completely. In Jer. 33:3 "Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not." Yes, you have been calling, but may I submit to you that he is never tired of hearing your voice? Han
