GRACE FOR OBEDIENCE



GRACE FOR OBEDIENCE

Paul was a man of proven track record of obedience. It is recorded that he wanted to enter into Asia and Bithynia, but the Holyspirit forbad him and he obeyed instantly. No wonder when God needed a man to go to Macedonica, He beckoned on no other man but Paul.

Obedience to instructions we call little might be what will quality us for a higher assignment. A higher assignment sometimes may mean going through thorns and God needs a man that will obey no matter the cross.

Could it be that God was in need of the souls of Lydia and her household, likewise the souls of the jailer and his household and God needed just one man to send?

If paul and his companion were not thrown into the prison, they would not have met the jailer talkless of getting him and his household saved.

Equally note this, do you know its possible for Paul to have entered Asia and Bithynia as against the Spirit of God and preach without being thrown into prison?

God had an assignment in mind and He knew the road to its fulfillment was filled with thorns. God called on a man who had obeyed consistently even in little matters. A selfless man, a man who was not thinking of himself alone, a man who never thought of his convenience alone.

The fact that God has called you to go in a particular direction does not mean there are no thorns on the way. If you can't bear the shame, you can't walk in the glory thereof. For we must through so many hardship enter into the kingdom of God. Be encouraged!

We receive grace for prompt obedience to the HolySpirit in every matter. Humility forever remains the only way to lifting.

𝐓𝐎𝐆𝐄𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑 𝐖𝐄 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐍𝐃 By Joy Titobiloluwa Adekanbi  Going down memory lane, English language used to be a boring subject. The essays and grammar made it worse. What’s with the comprehension passages and summary? Yet we had to pass it.  We needed to because it was compulsory to pass a subject that was about a language imposed on us by the very people who enslaved us.  We got our independence from them but kept their language as ours.  Well, with a country like ours, we don’t have much of a choice. About 250 ethnic groups living together in one hood isn’t a joke.  How else would we communicate? The decision to use a single language negates what God did at the Tower of Babel. We are struggling to maintain unity among people of different languages who have refused to be one because of the fear of being betrayed. English which is supposed to be a unifying factor has brought about discrimination among different social classes.  This discrimination exists within each ethnic group a
