Love is the way out

We can’t fight God

Sometimes we fight God unaware. We oppose His move and resist the free flow of His spirit. We sincerely say and do things out of ignorance against Him. Ananias and Sapphira fought God out of ignorance. According to Acts five, the couple had made a covenant at church to sell a property and bring all the proceeds to their pastor for distribution to the poor. The pastor prayed for them and blessed them for such a commitment. But after selling the property, Mr. Ananias noticed that he has to replace his rickety vehicle. So he agreed with his wife to take just a small portion of the proceeds received from the property sales. They lied to Bishop Peter, their pastor about this and that resulted in their death. When we fight God it always result to death; spiritual and physical. Spiritual in the sense that we feel separated from His love and lose the confidence to approach Him for help. And life without God’s love and help means a door is open for the devil to kill and destroy. Fighting God also result in physical death. You may not die instantly like Ananias, Sapphira, Judas and the sons of Aaron. Yours may be dying slowing. Sickness and disease are signs of slow death. The end result of all ailment is death; destruction of your body. But how can we avoid fighting God so we don’t die before our time?

Obedience is the way out. Obedience is to make a decision to live your life always to please God. In pleasing God you may not find rules covering how He expects you to behave in every matter or issue. But ignorance of rules is not a good excuse for breaking them.  God expects us to obey him fully  by fulfilling all His laws. But is this possible? Yes! It is according to the Scriptures. Jesus says love is the summary of every law God ever gave to man. If you stay always with the law of love there is no way you will break the rules of God. If Adam and Eve had walk in love towards God, they wouldn’t sin against him. If Ananias and his wife really loved the church they would not have done what they did. If Paul had walk in love towards all men he would not be opposing Jesus as he was told in his vision. The religious leaders would not have been guilty of Christ’s blood if they had loved his life like their own life. Let us love one another so we don’t fight God. Right now God is using many people to work in the world. If you refuse such people you refuse God. If you curse them you curse God. Avoid fighting God by walking in love. Walking in Love is showing kindness to all.
