TOPIC: FOLLOWING GOD’S INSTRUCTIONS
Memory Verse: Is. 1:19
“19 If you are willing and obedient, You shall eat the good of the land;”
Bible Reading: Gen. 26:7-11.
7 And the men of the place asked about his wife. And he said, “She is my sister”; for he was afraid to say, “She is my wife,” because he thought, “lest the men of the place kill me for Rebekah, because she is beautiful to behold.” 8 Now it came to pass, when he had been there a long time, that Abimelech king of the Philistines looked through a window, and saw, and there was Isaac, showing endearment to Rebekah his wife. 9 Then Abimelech called Isaac and said, “Quite obviously she is your wife; so how could you say, ‘She is my sister’?” Isaac said to him, “Because I said, ‘Lest I die on account of her.’” 10 And Abimelech said, “What is this you have done to us? One of the people might soon have lain with your wife, and you would have brought guilt on us.” 11 So Abimelech charged all his people, saying, “He who touches this man or his wife shall surely be put to death.”
PROTECTION IS GUARANTEE
When instructions are given by our instructor, and diligent obedience follows, we experience full coverage of the Almighty. When He leads and you follow Him, He watches over you constantly. He is the God that favour those who obey and abides with Him. Losses are not allowed when He is leading because He will guide you althrough.
Isaac, following the instructor’s instruction called his wife his sister, still, the protection of God saved his wife. The king made a decree, after knowing her as Isaac’s wife, that who soever touches Isaac and his family will be put to death, that is, God in action for those who follow his instructions.
When He led the israelite out of Egypt He protected them as long as they follow His instructions. When He is leading and you are following him diligently, you are under his protection. The small prophet deviated from God’s instructions and the coverage over him left, may we not depart from God’s protection in Jesus Mighty Name, amen. Stay within His instructions and you will be protected.
Father, help me abide under your instructions in order to benefit your protection fully in Jesus Mighty Name, Amen.
