I Peter 2:8 NKJV
and “A stone of stumbling And a rock of offence.” They stumble, being disobedient to the word, to which they also were appointed.
I Peter 2:8 NKJV
Jesus Christ is the way, the truth and the life. He is the power of God to all mankind unto salvation.
To those who receive Him, God gave them the right to become children of God.
But to those who refuse Him after receiving this knowledge, it becomes a stumbling block for them.
Not many people will deny and disobey God knowingly, and not many know that disobeying God can cause blockage to the forward movement in God.
It is the Lord who has planned and purposed for our life. Therefore, if we follow Him and obey Him, we will get to the destination but if we disobey Him, how do we get to our destinations?
There are no shortcuts.
Jesus is the way.
Obeying Him is the way to get to the purpose and plans that God had ordained for each one of us.
To whom much is revealed, much is required. If we hold the key to the house, no one gets in unless we open it. The responsibility to open is in our hands.
We need to obey all that God has revealed. If not, we will stumble and be stagnate. This will harden our hearts and it becomes a critic inside of us.
It will cause us to see only the negative in every good thing that is happening in and around us.
We are all very precious and very important in the kingdom of God. Each one of us has been given the keys of the kingdom of heaven. It is our responsibility to open heaven to all around us.
This is done by obeying our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Let us stretch our hands to heal, to pray and to cast out the evil spirits.
Let us not turn this blessing into a curse by being disobedient. Instead, let us turn these blessings into a fountain of love, joy and peace that constantly flows from within us.
Let us obey all that God has said and be faithful to commit to accomplishing everything He has spoken.
Blessings
