There is nothing worse than an unruly child, unless it's a parent that won't discipline his child! How many times do we see it in groceries?
All the time!
Not disciplining your child is not loving your child! It is not being good to them, to let them have their own way!
When you love your child, you discipline her/him for their own good; to teach them; so they will grow to be law abiding citizens! If you, the parent is rebellious, then your children will be worse than you! And your grandchildren even more so! Rebelliousness is generational!
“Therefore thou shalt keep the commandments of the Lord thy God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him.”
Deuteronomy 8:6 KJV
Do you?
Do you keep His commandments?
Do you walk in His ways?
Do you fear Him?
Do you even try?
“That thou mightest fear the Lord thy God, to keep all his statutes and his commandments, which I command thee, thou, and thy son, and thy son's son, all the days of thy life; and that thy days may be prolonged.”
Deuteronomy 6:2 KJV
“And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart: And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.” Deuteronomy 6:6-7 KJV
The rebelliousness in your house, most likely did not start with you, however, it needs to stop with you!
You who go to church; you who claim to be a Christian; you who have no time for God; it's time to turn from your wicked rebellious ways, and seek Him with your whole heart!
“And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.” Deuteronomy 6:5 KJV
This not a suggestion!
It's not optional!
It is a commandment!
“Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.” Matthew 22:37 KJV
“And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart: And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.” Deuteronomy 6:6-7 KJV
If you follow the commandments of The LORD it will go well with you! You follow Him (follow His Word) you will be blessed! If you don't there are consequences (curses)! Just like when you break the law of man, you bear the responsibility of your actions!
“Know therefore that the Lord thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations; And repayeth them that hate him to their face, to destroy them: he will not be slack to him that hateth him, he will repay him to his face.” Deuteronomy 7:9-10 KJV
“It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.” Hebrews 10:31 KJV
If you are not obedient, you do not love The LORD!
“If ye love me, keep my commandments.” John 14:15 KJV
If you refuse to obey, He WILL humble you! You can do it willingly or not; He will have His way!
“All the commandments which I command thee this day shall ye observe to do, that ye may live, and multiply, and go in and possess the land which the Lord sware unto your fathers. And thou shalt remember all the way which the Lord thy God led thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, and to prove thee, to know what was in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep his commandments, or no. And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the Lord doth man live.” Deuteronomy 8:1-3 KJV
The longer you struggle in disobedience, the longer your tests and trials will last! You can act just like a small willful child, kicking and screaming to get his own way, however, your Father in Heaven will prevail!
Your rebelliousness (refusal to follow His commandments) is sin!
The sins you hold onto so tightly here (worry, fear, anger, hatred, complaining, bitterness, unforgiveness, disbelief, etc) will cost you dearly in the long run!
“Also in Horeb ye provoked the Lord to wrath, so that the Lord was angry with you to have destroyed you.”
Deuteronomy 9:8 KJV
“That thou mightest fear the Lord thy God, to keep all his statutes and his commandments, which I command thee, thou, and thy son, and thy son's son, all the days of thy life; and that thy days may be prolonged.”
Deuteronomy 6:2 KJV
Obedience is a matter of life and death! Choose life!
Repent while there is still time!
Even so - MARANATHA!
