1 Samuel 19-21 "Why then did YOU NOT OBEY THE VOICE OF THE LORD, but swooped down upon the plunder and did evil in the Lord's sight? Saul said to Samuel, Yes, I have obeyed the voice of the Lord and have gone the way which the Lord sent me, and have brought Agag king of Amalek and have utterly destroyed the Amalekites. But the people took from the spoil sheep and oxen, the chief of the things to be utterly destroyed, to sacrifice to the Lord your God in Gilgal."
Any disobedience is considered evil in the eyes of the Lord. However, Saul thought he had obeyed. Many Christians believe they are in obedience. But they have defined their own obedience and own reality thus continuing to eat the fruit of death from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. They continue to give God their own terms.
1 Samuel 15:23 "For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and STUBBORNNESS is as idolatry and teraphim (household good luck images). Because you have rejected the word of the Lord, He also has rejected you from being king."
Actions may look good on the surface but a little compromise will make God reject us. Without repentance, our final destiny will be hell. It sound very extreme but this is truth. Remember, God never changes. His nature is the same. Jesus came and died a horrible death for us. Please do not take His Grace for granted.
We now have grace to repent. Let us observe His commandments without compromising. LET US BE A PEOPLE SEPARATED UNTO HIM. LET THE WORLD KNOW WE ARE NOT OF THIS WORLD BUT SEPARATED FROM THEM! LET OUR CHURCHES STOP LOOKING, SMELLING, AND LIVING LIKE THE WORLD DOES.
Let us pray that we are in Full Surrender and Obedience to HIM in this New Year. Let us pray for the biblical Fear of God in our lives as we serve HIM.
