Instruction
Proverbs 8:33 Hear instruction, and be
wise, and refuse it not. (KJV)
Each day we should be more ready to hear
our Father’s instruction, and give heed to His instruction which is able to
make us wise unto salvation, and refuse not to apply His instruction in our
life as He leads; because if we do, then we will not have to give the
sacrifice of fools; having to ask for forgiveness, crucifying the Lord of
glory all over again.
Proverbs 4:13 Take fast hold of
instruction; let her not go: keep her; for she is thy life. (KJV)
Taking fast hold of instruction is life
in Christ. It enlightens the eyes of our understanding to the truth and the
life that is in us through the experience of applying His instruction in
our life. Being a doer and not a hearer only will enable us to not be
unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is in and through all
things. Remember, without Christ, without instruction, we can do nothing.
Proverbs 24:3 Through wisdom is an house
builded; and by understanding it is established. (KJV)
Jesus Christ is our example; His life is
the description or illustration of the divine nature of God. God has given
us an instruction manual, the Bible; but its Spiritual meaning can only be
understood or seen by the leading and guiding of the Holy Spirit. It is the
Spirit that gives life to the written word of God; it is the Spirit that
gives life to His instruction given. It is the Spirit which allows us to
understand the instruction of how to apply the Word in our life so that we
are able to live a Godly life that is well pleasing in our Father’s site.
Guess what else…I will tell you, man does
not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds forth from the
mouth of God. Being instructed by God through Christ (the Word, the power
and wisdom of God) is our strength to overcome our fleshly nature, and enable
us to take on the divine nature of God and be an example or illustration of
who God is to all those that we come into contact with; His instruction also
enables us to continue in the faith grounded and settled so that we are not
moved away from the hope that is within us regardless of the external
circumstances of life.
Matthew 7:24 Therefore whosoever heareth
these saying of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man,
which built his house upon a rock: (KJV)
That rock is Christ. So my beloved
brethren, continue to be built up a Spiritual house unto the Lord, Christ
being the cornerstone; allow His Spirit to lead and guide you in truth, and
enlighten the eyes of your understanding so that you can see and know who
you are in Christ. As well, let the application (doing) of God’s will
within your life this day continue to shine forth, and illustrate before
others the true life of Jesus Christ and the grace of God given through Him.
God bless.
