Israel was now ready to enter the Promised Land.
Joshua is now…
Appointed as the new leader due to his faithfulness and loyalty to God.
Moses spoke his final words to Israel, and there was,
“not a face over fifty years of age,” as their predecessors had “perished in the wilderness!”
Moses reminded them not to forget all their lessons in the wilderness.
“As for you, my people, remember to seek the Lord your God when you have grown old in the land.
If you search for Him with all your heart, you will be found by Him.”
Has there been any other God who has attempted to take a Nation to Himself from the midst of another Nation, by trials, signs, wonders, and by war, by a mighty hand, and an outstretched arm, by terrors… greater terrors! All according to that the Lord your God accomplished for you in Egypt.”
He made a Covenant with you at His Holy mountain.”
So Moses repeated all the major Commandments to Israel and reminded them to..
“LOVE THE LORD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND ALL OF YOUR MIGHT.”
He continued..
“Now what does the Lord require of you? to walk in His ways, to serve Him with all your heart?”
“Don’t be stubborn and rebellious any longer, for the Lord your God is the God of gods, the Great, Mighty, Terrible God, who executes justice, feeds the hungry and clothes the poor and naked.”
GOD’S GOAL FOR HIS PEOPLE.
This also applies to us today.
1. They will have the highest praise among the nations of this earth.
2 . They should have the highest name among the nations.
3. They should have the highest honour of all nations.
4. That they should be a Holy People to Jehovah.
5. And be the Greatest Nation on all of the earth.
6. That Israel should be Peculiar to Him.
God deeply desires and deserves obedience from those who are His own. We have been called out of the darkness of sin and are translated into His marvellous light, so ought not we also obey Him?
OBEDIENCE BRINGS BLESSINGS!
DISOBEDIENCE RESULTS IN CURSES!
How should we obey our Lord?
Here are some ways for us to live an obedient life.
1.’LISTEN’ TO HIS VOICE.
2 ‘OBSERVE’ AND ‘DO’ HIS COMMANDMENTS.
3. ‘WALK’ IN HIS WAYS.
4. ‘DO NOT TURN’ TO THE RIGHT HAND OR THE LEFT, FROM HIS WORD.
5. ‘DO NOT GO’ AFTER OTHER GODS OF THIS WORLD AND SERVE THEM.
OBEDIENCE DEFINED.
1. TO ‘OBEY’ WITH AN ACT OF YOUR WILL.
2. TO ‘SUBMIT’ TO GODLY AUTHORITY.
3. TO ‘COMPLY SUBMISSIVELY,’ WITH ‘JOY’ IN YOUR HEART.
Do this, and blessings will come richly upon you. All manner of blessings, practical, relational. Personal and financial affecting every part of your life.
And a deeper and more intimate relationship with God.
DISOBEDIENCE EXPLAINED.
WANTING TO DO THINGS AND LIVE YOUR LIFE WITHOUT GOD.
God will allow vexation to come upon you, to rebuke and discipline you.
1. YOU WILL KNOW THE FEELING OF FAILURE.
2. YOU WILL NEVER FEEL SATISFIED.
3. YOU WILL BE OPEN TO DISTRACTION.
4. AS MENTIONED BY GOD, YOU WILL NOT LIVE OUT YOUR DAYS.
5. YOU WILL NOT FULFILL HIS PURPOSES FOR YOU.
6. YOU WILL FEEL EMPTY, THOUGH YOU MAY OWN AN ABUNDANCE OF THINGS.
People tell me, “Something is missing in my life.” They are plagued by loneliness inside.
This is the reality of a person who is without “CHRIST.”
He is the One who “FILLS ALL IN ALL.”
This can easily change if you “draw near to God, and He will draw near to you.”
You may come to Him through the provision of the Son of His Love. See John 3:16 and Deuteronomy 27:12.
God does not demand obedience; He wants you to obey Him out of a heart of love. It is much easier when you are devoted to Him.
BLESSINGS OR
CURSES will follow your choices.
Here’s a view for you to ponder upon them.
PLEASE CHOOSE NOW!
Choose well!
Amen.
