Unusual Instructions

 Psalm 32:8

You might be just an instruction away from your miracle.

You are an instruction away from your next level.

Your instruction from God is your personal covenant with God.

You need God's specific and unique instruction for your life.

The breakthrough you seek is preceded by a divine instruction.

David was given breakthroughs in warfare over the Philistines in the same chapter twice, but each breakthrough had a different instruction preceding it.

2 Samuel 5:17-25

God's instructions produce results.

God's instructions align us with God's will and purpose when followed through or obeyed.

God's instructions may not make sense to the carnal mind.

1 Corinthians 2:14

God's instructions can be unusual or even seem strange.

There is a purpose, a result, a manifestation, an aligning, or message the instructions of God are meant to produce.

God instructed one of His prophets (Hosea) to marry a loose woman, perhaps a prostitute (Gomer) who turned out to be unfaithful to her husband prophet Hosea.

Hosea 1:2

It was a strange and unusual instruction, but there was a purpose and message to it.

God's strange instruction to Abraham to kill his own son (Isaac) after journeying for three days to Mount Moriah brought Abraham to a higher level of blessing.

Genesis 22:1-18

God's instruction didn't grant Samson the liberty of drinking alcohol or cutting his hair.

This instruction was specific and uniquely for Samson.

Samson's hair was weaved into seven locks.

Seven is the number of Jesus Christ, it is the number of perfection.

Revelation 1:16

The locks were the point of contact for the anointing (spirit of might) on Samson's life.

Judges 13:1-14, Judges 16:13

Isaac is another character in the Bible who benefitted from God's instruction.

God's instruction to Isaac was for Isaac to remain in Gerar at a time of famine, a time when there was no rain, a time people were not planting but running away to Egypt.

It was at such a time God told him to sojourn in Gerar and plant.

The result was a 100 fold return in 1 year, blessings, and greatness.

Genesis 26:1-17

The instructions of God when followed can bring you into a new season, for God makes things new.

Revelation 21:5

God's instructions are part of His guidance.

If God is instructing you, no matter how unusual, illogical, or strange the instruction maybe, consider yourself blessed.

It was an unusual instruction from God that brought down the walls of Jericho.

Joshua 6:1-20

God's power follows God's instructions.

An instruction from God can lift you up from the dunghill and set you up among princes if followed.

Psalm 113:7,8

God's instruction through prophet Elijah to the widow of Zarephath made the prophetic word work to sustain her, her son, and Elijah through famine as she obeyed the instruction.

1 Kings 17:9-15

Your Father Hears

Matthew 6:5,6 Prayer should be directed to the Father. Jesus showed this when He taught His disciples the Lord's prayer. It should be a great comfort to you to know that the creator and God of all hears you when you pray. This should encourage you to pray and keep praying. In our day to day relationships with people our communication will reduce towards those who don't pay attention when we're talking to them. The good thing about God is that He is never distracted. Know you have His attention when you pray . He can be communicated with. He hears, He created the ears. Psalm 94:9 Jesus encouraged prayer. Matthew 26:40 Jesus taught prayer. Luke 11:1,2 If Jesus prayed, you will need to pray. Why Should You Pray? *Pray because prayer brings God's intervention. Isaiah 38:5,6 *Pray because that's how you are authorized to communicate with God. 1 Thessalonians 15:16-18 *Pray because it is a major way of birthing God's will on earth. 1 Kings 18...

Out Of The Ashes

Isaiah 61:3 Ashes are not seen as useful substances. Ashes are waste that's thrown away. Ashes are what is left after a substance is burnt out. Your life may seem like ashes right now but something good and beautiful can come out of it when it's given to God. You may feel like an ash yourself. You may be feeling burnt out from unpleasant experiences of the past, the previous week, the last Month , or the the last year and life's battles may have left you burnt out. Know that out of your ashes can come beauty! God is the one who gives us beauty for ashes. God can make you and your life beautiful! Don't make the ashes your permanent state. God can make your season of ashes work out into a season of glory for you. Romans 8:28 The phoenix is a mystical and fictional bird that burns out after living for about six centuries. After burning itself out it rises from it's ashes renewed, youthful and revitalized to live through another life cycle. Like the p...
