Today, we will be dealing with 20 Bible verses about yielding to God’s instructions
John 7vs 1 AFTER THIS, Jesus went from place to place in Galilee, for He would not travel in Judea because the Jews were seeking to kill Him.
This verse of the chapter got me thinking that a whole Jesus who was and Is the captain of the host of heaven, He who can command a host of army couldn’t travel in a part of the earth where He created, it wasn’t that He was afraid to die because He will eventually do but He knew the kind of purpose He was here to fulfill and that Him not staying safe, will truncate the purpose and He will die before the appointed time.
Coming down to us,I mean those of us who are not happy with what is happening in our environment, family, most especially our places of worship and we see ourselves as tongue talking,fire spitting, bomb and bullet swallowing, gifted sister with the mantle of 10 men put together, who is angry because the Lord said we should lay low for now. Wisdom is profitable to direct. Obeying instructions is key for a Christian.
Prayer:- I receive grace to yield, I receive wisdom in all,Amen.
