Luke 6:46 (ESV)
Why do you call me ‘Lord, Lord,’ and not do what I tell you?
Beloved,
The kingdom of God is all about instructions and obedience. The problem of humanity with divinity is disobedience to instructions. Because we are humans, we are liable to make mistakes. However, it is a stupid driver that will keep having accidents every week and if such continues, such a person’s license will be revoked in no time. You can sin by accident, but you don’t sin deliberately. There is a difference between the two.
Instructions from God are either personal or congregational. Your personal instructions will most likely address your consecration; learn to keep those instructions and to abide by them. For instance, He may tell you to pray for 30 minutes for three days. This is specific to you, without the knowledge of your pastor. You will do well to obey that instruction because at the end of the day, you will be the beneficiary. If you identify as a member of a church, you are also to obey every instruction that God gives to the congregation through His servants.
Beloved, go back to examine the instructions God has given you as an individual and as a member of a local church and obey them and you will continue to enjoy God’s commitment to you in all your ways.
I commend you to God and to the word of His grace.
I call you BLESSED. I call you NATIONS.
