"MISOBEDIENCE"

When a child is given several instructions, say:
1. Don't take meat from the pot.
2. Don't go outside the house without telling me.
3. Always wash your hands when you're done playing with friends.

You'll notice that the child finds it easy to obey instructions 2 and 3, but instruction 1 is a very hard task for that child, hence he ignores it. "Mom did not even count the number of meats in the pot" he'll say.
 This is selective obedience, or what I termed "MISOBEDIENCE". It is exactly how most of us as Christians obey God; we select his instructions and obey the ones that suit us while the ones that seem difficult are ignored.
These things ought not so to be.
When we make up our minds to follow and obey God, let us do it without restraint. Don't obey few and disobey the others.


When he says; Go out and preach the gospel, baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost, let us do it.
If he says; Do not commit fornication. stop it. Do away with that sexual partner in crime of yours.

Stop the selection of instructions to obey!
Stop the "MISOBEDIENCE"!

We shall make Heaven at last.

God Bless You,
