RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DAILY DEVOTIONAL. THE DIVINE ORDER - PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME PHD. . FRIDAY, MAY 20TH 2016.
For
because ye did it not at the first, the LORD our God made a breach upon us, for
that we sought him not after the due order (1 Chronicles 15:13).
There's
such a thing as divine order. Order here, is a prescribed form of religious
service or rite. Through the scriptures, we see that the Lord established
definite orders and patterns for different services of spiritual importance.
Even the ministries and offices of the prophets, priests, and kings had divine
orders guiding their actions and in relation to one another.
In
1 Corinthians 14:40, the Spirit said through the Apostle Paul, "Let all
things be done decently and in order." When Moses was about to make the
tabernacle, God admonished him to make everything according to the prescribed
order: "...Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the
tabernacle: for, See, saith he, that thou make all things according to the
pattern shewed to thee in the mount" (Hebrews 8:5).
There's
a pattern; there's a way; there's a prescribed order in doing the things of
God; follow it and you'll experience His grace and blessings in your life and
in your service to Him. To do otherwise is to walk against His perfect will,
like what happened to David and the children of Israel when they didn't follow
the prescribed order in moving the ark of God into the city of David. The
repercussion was grievous (Read 2 Samuel 6:1-10).
Follow
God's Word. Carry out His instructions according to the prescribed order. Don't
break ranks. Don't have your own way. When instructions are given to you in the
house of God, not only are you required to act on them swiftly, let it also be
according to the divine order.
PRAYER
Dear
Father, I thank you for the ability of your Word in my spirit. I'm a doer of
the Word, not just a hearer. The results of living in, and by the Word are
evidently manifested in every area of my life today, in Jesus' Name. Amen.
Further
Study: || Proverbs 19:20 Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that thou
mayest be wise in thy latter end. ||
||
James 1:22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your
own selves. ||
||
1 Samuel 15:22 And Samuel said, Hath the Lord as great delight in burnt
offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the Lord? Behold, to obey
is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams. ||
