 DISOBEDIENCE

     Disobedience simply means refusal to obey. It is a deliberate action that engages the consciousness of the mind in making a decision that negates the instructions given.

     Mayowa's parents consciously disobeyed the order that was given that no one should go outside on that specific day. Disobedience can be sponsored by ignorance, delusion, deception and fantasy. However, the act is still disobedience, regardless of what caused it. Disobedience is very costly as it often attracts a penalty or punishment to itself.

     Disobedience is rudely. It defies the authority that gives an order, that is why it automatically attracts a punishment. The focus of this write-up is to lay bare the gravity of disobedience, to reveal to us the costly nature of disobedience. Now, how does this apply to us?

     God had given us a command concerning Jesus Christ in John 17:5 "This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him." Every human being that lives on earth had been given this command with respect to Jesus Christ in order to qualify for eternity with God.  Refusal to obey this command is disobedience and as earlier said, every disobedience attracts a legal punishment unless there is a legal term of evasion.

 Everyone of us had sinned against (disobeyed) God through Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden, however, God had sent Jesus Christ to grant us legal evasion of the consequences of our sins which we can only receive by believing in him and accepting his offer of redemption for us, hence the commandment, hear ye him. There is no assurance of eternity with God unless you receive and hear his beloved Son sent for this purpose of bringing man back to God.

Will you receive him today? He is calling on you. I urge you to obey the command of God to hear his Son and receive the offer of redemption and deliverance from the power of sin, Satan and eternal death.

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
