IF WE DON’T OBEY THE LORD WE SHALL PERISH

One of the thing’s that we must realise is that disobedience to The Lord results in absolute destruction and perishing.

Human destiny and our predicament are determined by how we live before God.

The Lord requires us to carry out our lives in alignment with His specific calling.
Progress in life is directly tied to keeping the commandments and instructions of the Lord.The Lord issued specific warnings to the Israelites through Moses regarding the consequences of their actions.The Lord told the Israelites certain thing’s that they were supposed to keep in order for their lives to progress in a way their lives had to progress.

The LORD told them through Moses that if they don’t obey The LORD.. they will absolutely perish Deuteronomy 8:20 [20]Like the nations which the Lord makes to perish before you, so shall you perish, because you would not obey the voice of the Lord your God.

Reflective questions about the teaching about

a) According to our relation in view, what did The LORD say will happen to the Israelites if they don’t obey The LORD?

b) What is bound to happen to us if we don’t obey the LORD

Confession prayer

Dear Lord Jesus I pray that you will draw in me the fear for your glory to do what you want and what you love in Jesus name amen

IT’S A GREAT THING TO GIVE TOWARDS GOD’S WORK

From an ecclesiastical perspective in view, we realise that generous giving to the work of the Lord leads to multiplied blessings over one’s life.

It is a great and positive thing to contribute towards divine work.
One should never fail to fulfill a promise made to support the work of the Lord.

There is no spiritual reward for making a promise to the Lord that is not kept.

People that have seen a multiplied blessing over their lives for years are people that have been giving generously to the work of the LORD.

Biblical examples show that people gave immediately when commanded to provide an offering and that giving should be done without hesitation.

Offerings are not strictly limited to monetary contributions.
The Lord honors what an individual purposes in their heart to give.
Consistent generosity is a common trait among those who experience long-term blessings.
The act of giving is directly linked to seeing the blessing of the Lord and when The LORD commanded Moses to tell the Israelites to bring an offering to him for the construction of the TARBANCLE and other Holy utensils in view.. the people gave honourably Exodus 35:4-10[4]And Moses said to all the congregation of the Israelites, This is what the Lord commanded:5]Take from among you an offering to the Lord. Whoever is of a willing and generous heart, let him bring the Lord’s offering: gold, silver, and bronze;
[6]Blue, purple, and scarlet [stuff], fine linen; goats’ hair;[7]And rams’ skins tanned red, and skins of dolphins or porpoises; and acacia wood;
[8]And oil for the light; and spices for anointing oil and for fragrant incense;[9]And onyx stones and other stones to be set for the ephod and the breastplate.
[10]And let every able and wisehearted man among you come and make all that the Lord has commanded:

b) WHAT offering did The Israelites bring to the Lord as due to the things that were needed towards the sole duty of constructing the Tabernacle?

c) Are you a good giver towards the work of the LORD?

THE NATURE OF GOD’S EYE’S ARE FUNDAMENTALLY SPIRITUAL

I want to re align purpose in view to the nature of God’s eye’s. God’s eye’s are fundamentally spiritual not physical as it may be thought about

No man can possess the supernatural eyesight of God in all totality.

God’s eye’s are able to see beyond length of time.

When The amalekites opposed the Israelites as they were leaving it did come to the concern of the Lord. The LORD saw how the amalekites opposed the Israelites. He witnessed how the amalekites opposed the Israelites 1 Samuel 15:2-3[2]Thus says the Lord of hosts, I have considered and will punish what Amalek did to Israel, how he set himself against him in the way when [Israel] came out of Egypt.[3]Now go and smite Amalek and utterly destroy all they have; do not spare them, but kill both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and donkey.

We realise that Divine judgment was issued against the Amalekites because the Lord saw how they set themselves against Israel during the exodus from Egypt.

The teaching emphasizes that the Lord is a witness to historical events and holds parties accountable for their past actions

Reflective questions about our teaching

A) According to our teaching in view, whose eye’s are fundamentally spiritual?

b) What is that which The Lord witnessed as realised upon to context?

c) Does The Lord see everything that we do?

d) Analyse purpose of note as due to our subject study

Confession prayer

Dear Lord Jesus am grateful for your wisdom in view to the fundamental nature of your spiritual eye’s in Jesus name Amen

TAKE TIME TO CONTEMPLATE ABOUT THE LORD’S WILL

We realise that it is essential to prioritize seeking and inquiring about the Lord’s will before making any major life decisions or entering into new associations.

God’s will is vital for fulfilling one’s specific purpose in life.
King Jehoshaphat of Judah serves as a primary example of leadership by refusing to go to war until the word of the Lord was consulted.

We are encouraged to take dedicated time to contemplate and reflect on what God desires for us

The teaching highlights that people often neglect to ask for divine guidance when entering into business deals or personal agreements.

We realise that 1 Kings 22:2-5 illustrates the necessity of spiritual inquiry before physical action.

Ahab, the King of Israel, sought a military alliance, but Jehoshaphat insisted on putting God’s word first.1 Kings 22:2-5
[2]In the third year Jehoshaphat king of Judah came down to the king of Israel.
[3]And [Ahab] king of Israel said to his servants, Do you know that Ramoth in Gilead is ours, and we keep silence and do not take it from the king of Syria?[4]And [Ahab] said to Jehoshaphat, Will you go with me to Ramoth-gilead to battle? Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, I am as you are, my people as your people, my horses as your horses.[5]But Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, Inquire first, I pray you, for the word of the Lord today.

Reflective questions about the teaching

a) Do you take time to associate and contemplate what The LORD’S will for you is in view to that which you must do?

b) Who is that according to our context who considered God’s will?

c) What would be some of the lessons we can percieve in view to considering God’s will?

d) Acknowledge purpose of note as realised upon to reference

Confession prayer

Dear Lord Jesus..I pray that in all thing’s I will concieve what your will is for my life in Jesus name amen

AVOID BAD ALLIANCES

From a contextual basis in view, we realise that believers must exercise extreme caution regarding the alliances they form, as the wrong partnerships can destroy their work and purpose.

King Jehoshaphat of Judah made a critical error by entering into a business alliance with King Ahaziah of Israel.
The primary issue with the alliance was not the project itself, but the character of the partner, as King Ahaziah was known for doing “very wickedly.”

Because of this ungodly partnership, the Lord sent the prophet Eliezer to deliver a message of judgment against Jehoshaphat.
The prophet foretold that because Jehoshaphat joined with a wrongdoer, the Lord would destroy the works of his hands.

The ships the kings built together in Ezion-geber were wrecked and never reached their destination of Tarshish as thus The central lesson is that individuals should walk away from bad alliances to avoid the divine consequences associated with them.

The teaching is based on the biblical account found in 2 Chronicles 20:35-37 2 Chronicles 20:[35]After this, Jehoshaphat king of Judah joined with Ahaziah king of Israel, who did very wickedly.
[36]He joined him in building ships to go to Tarshish, building them in Ezion-geber.[37]Then Eliezer son of Dodavahu of Mareshah prophesied against Jehoshaphat, saying, Because you have joined Ahaziah, the Lord will destroy your works. So the ships were wrecked and unable to go to Tarshish.

Reflective questions about the teaching

a) According to our context in view, who is king Jehoshaphat?

b) What is that which He did with King Ahaziah?

c) Did their project succeed?

d) How come the ships that they made were not able to reach their destination?

e) Give some of the lesons in view you learn from our teaching?

f) How is this teaching applicable in view to our day to day life?

Confession prayer

Dear Lord Jesus I pray you help me not to make alliances with people that will lead to the end of what am trying to do Amen

INSTRUCTIONS GIVEN BY THE LORD ARE ABSOLUTE

One of the thing’s that we nust realise is that The instructions given by the Lord are absolute and are not subject to debate or negotiation and that every individual has a God-given responsibility or mission that must be completed before they pass away from this life.

Divine instructions must be executed exactly as ordered before one leaves their existence in the flesh.While a person might seek minor consultations, the core command of the Lord remains non-debatable.

God specifically commanded Moses to execute divine vengeance against the Midianites on behalf of the Israelites.
The completion of this specific task was a prerequisite for Moses being “gathered to his people” (passing away).
Moses obeyed by instructing the people to arm men for war to carry out the Lord’s vengeance.
The conflict against the Midianites was a result of them seducing the people of Israel.The teaching emphasizes that the Lord’s word should be received in faith for personal transformation and blessing.

The biblical foundation for this teaching is drawn from the book of Numbers, specifically chapter 31.Numbers 31:2-3[2]Avenge the Israelites on the Midianites; afterward you shall be gathered to your [departed] people.3]And Moses said to the people, Arm men from among you for the war, that they may go against Midian and execute the Lord’s vengeance on Midian [for seducing Israel]. [Num. 25:16-18.]

The “instruction of the Lord” is described as “volatile to debate,” meaning it cannot be altered by human argument and therefore, The ultimate goal is to fulfill every instruction ordered to one’s steps during their lifetime.

Reflective questions about the teaching

a) Have you fulfilled God’s instructions concerning that which you must do before you pass on?

b) What is that which Moses was required to do by The Lord before He would be gathered to His people

c) What does this teaching relate to us in view to divine purpose

Confession prayer

Dear Lord Jesus I pray that I will execute by faith all that which you have ordered to my step in Jesus

AVOID COVETING THING’S THAT LEAD TO A SPIRITUAL DOWNFALL

The central spiritual warning is to avoid coveting things that lead to a spiritual downfall or are intended for self-advantage and pleasure.

King Ahaz of Judah, the son of Jotham, serves as a primary example of the dangers of coveting forbidden things.
While visiting Damascus to meet King Tiglath-pileser of Assyria, Ahaz saw a heathen altar that he immediately coveted.
Ahaz sent a detailed model and exact pattern of the foreign altar to Urijah the priest to have it replicated.

Urijah the priest followed the king’s instructions and completed the construction of the altar before Ahaz returned from Damascus.

Coveting things that are not “decent to order” results in various problems rising against an individual.

The teaching emphasizes that believers often experience a “back fall” when they desire things for the purpose of self-advantage.

The lesson is based on the scriptural account found in 2 Kings 16:10-
[10]King Ahaz went to Damascus to meet Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria, and saw there their [heathen] altar. King Ahaz sent to Urijah the priest a model of the altar and an exact pattern for its construction.11]So Urijah the priest built an altar according to all that King Ahaz had sent from Damascus, finishing it before King Ahaz returned.

We realise that
The overarching message is that looking upon and desiring worldly or heathen structures can lead to spiritual compromise

The teaching includes reflective questions to help the reader process Ahaz’s motivations and actions in Damascus.

Reflective questions about the teaching

a) Who is king Ahaz as realised upon in perspective?

b) For what purpose did He go to Damascus?

c) What is that which He coveted that was in Damascus?

d) What did He instruct Uriah to do as realised upon to thus?

e) How does this teaching relate to our everyday pattern of life?

d) Give some of the lessons in view you learn from our teaching

Confession prayer

Dear Lord Jesus I declare that I will not covet that which doesn’t give you glory in Jesus name amen

VOWS


Vows have divine regulations we must take serious.
Numbers 30:1-2.
Moses gave instructions firstly to the leaders of Israel.
If you want to influence people you always have to start with the leaders for any purpose.
Israel has twelve tribes that was rooted in Jacob.

Moses did so in order to use the influence of leaders in the community so that the information can be easily spread.

Why did Moses begin with the leaders of Israel to give out instructions?

Why do people break their oath to God?

  1. When people are in poor conditions they tend to be humble, faithful and prayerful to God, make a vow with Him but after the Lord working on his challenges most people tend to forget their roots.
  2. Others break their oath due the environment they are living in.
  3. Others just excitement
    Doing the same thing repeatedly.

WHY THE LORD HANDS US OVER TO CERTAIN SITUATIONS

Often time’s The Lord hands us over to certain situations that could bring spiritual or physical disaster to us basing on what we have been able to incline our attitudes to so that we learn from them in repentance to the Lord

You will realise that the predicament of God over our lives is based according to that which we have done and how we have chosen to live our lives in view to His mandate.

The bible talks about Jehoahaz son of Jehu who did evil in the sight of the Lord to the extent that He walked in the sins that Jeroboam caused Israel to commit and so The Lord’s anger burned to the extent that The LORD handed Him over and the people to Hazael king of Aram
2 Kings 13:2-3[2]He did evil in the sight of the Lord and followed the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, which made Israel to sin, and did not depart from them.[3]The anger of the Lord was kindled against Israel, and He delivered them into the hand of Hazael king of Syria and of Ben-hadad son of Hazael continually.

Reflective questions about the teaching

a) According to our teaching in view, Who is Jehoahaz?

b) What is the first thing that this man did before the Lord?

c) To which people did The LORD hand Him to?

d) What would be some of the lessons in view to learn concerning to our preference of note

Confession prayer

Dear Lord Jesus I pray that I will not be like Jehohaz in the first place who walked in the sins of Jeroboam AMEN

There is a certain man of God who said something that brought me to a place of divine responsibility and accountability, He said you can’t have divine communion with the Lord and at the same time have communion with the thing’s of the world

The secret place of the most high is attained as a place of spiritual fellowship with the LORD. You don’t visit the secret place but rather you dwell there so that the Lord may speak to you concerning that which is inclusive to your destiny Psalm 91:1[1]HE WHO dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall remain stable and fixed under the shadow of the Almighty [Whose power no foe can withstand].
