Killing Disobedience
“For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.” (2 Corinthians 10:3-6)
Today’s Morsel: If you want to kill disobedience in your life, then you must learn to do what is always right and at all costs. One of Satan’s goals is to keep you in a state of disobedience. He doesn’t push the full envelope at you all at once. He tempts you with the little things to get you to disobey. Saul did not think that keeping Aga the king alive was being disobedient. He didn’t even see keeping the best of the flock alive for sacrifice as being disobedient to God. He told Samuel, that he had done what the Lord commanded of him. What he failed to realize was that he was the leader, and he was the one given the orders. It was his duty to ensure the people obeyed. If he, as king, would have made the people obey, he would have helped them kill disobedience in their lives. When God had Joshua to kill Achan and his household, he was showing him that he must kill disobedience because it can cause death and hardship of others. Paul said that we must be ready to deal with our disobedience when our obedience is fulfilled. When you get your mind made up that you are going to obey Christ and His word, then get ready to deal with your disobedience, as it will keep presenting itself before you until you rid yourself of it.
Sing: I’m not sorry, I’m not sorry, I’ve answered the Master call. Jesus took my heavy load, now I’m on the glory road, and I’m not sorry, I’m not sorry anymore.
