The word for today is - Yeild !

Good morning,
The word for today is - Yeild !

Let's look at Exodus 20: 1-7,And God spake all these words, saying, I am the Lord thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. Thou shalt have no other gods before me. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments. Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord  thy God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain. Read John 3:3,Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. Did you not know that, Nicodemus was afraid, or ashamed to be seen with Christ, therefore came in the night. Let's look at this first , he was a ruler, he was concern about his salvation. Jesus told him about  the new birth. This new birth is from heaven,read John 1: 13, Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. The things of the Spirit of God are foolishness to the natural man.  We must give up ourselves to be ruled, and taught, and saved by him. It means that something is done in us, and for us, which we cannot do for  ourselves. And here is the great gospel benefit, that whoever believes in Christ, shall not perish, but shall have everlasting life.A good man or woman acts truly and sincerely in all there ways. They desire to know  what the will of God is, and to do it, though against there own worldly interest. A change in there  whole character and conduct has taken place. The love of God is shed abroad in there  heart by the Holy Ghost, and is become the commanding principle of there  actions. Are you ,Yielding to God ? Let's look at Numbers 22:35, And the angel of the Lord said unto Balaam, Go with the men: but only the word that I shall speak unto thee, that thou shalt speak. So Balaam went with the princes of Balak.  Balaam wanted to do all these things to have a relationship with God, but he never wanted to obey. He wanted all the benefits and none of the responsibilities. However, Balaam is being driven by gold, by pride, and who knows what else, so he constantly, consistently refuses to do what God tells him to do. Some people still today want the blessings of being a Christian but none of the responsibility. Just as Balaam did!  Balaam is an illustration of a person who has access to the truth, like a person who reads the Bible all the time, but never obeys it.  Such a person is willing to cheat on his income tax, when he knows the eighth commandment  says, "You shall not steal." There are "Christian" people who are willing to kill their unborn children, yet know that the sixth commandment  says, "You shall not murder." There are "Christians" who lie all the time, knowing all the while that the ninth commandment says, "You shall not bear false witness." These people have access to the truth or have knowledge of the truth, but are never willing to put it into practice, why ? because they insist do what they want to do. If God repeats the same thing over and over again, it must be important. Thank you God for your word. Amen !
