Pride and disobedience is a curse...!

Jeremiah 22:5 NKJV

But if you will not hear these words, I swear by Myself,” says the Lord , “that this house shall become a desolation.” ’ ”

Shalom!  Day #204. Do you know that disobedience to God's word will literally brings  desolation spiritually to our daily walk with Him? Let's pray. Father, we come before You today seeking forgiveness from You for our disobedience. Let us not be isolated and  be desolated because of our attitude towards You, Your word and Your ways. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

Disobedience towards His word, His corrections,  His rebuking, will make us to die spiritually.  Why there is disobedience? Because of PRIDE AND EGO. We always think that "It's my life and I'm the king of my life and I rule it." Now that's pride!  Jeremiah was given a mandate to warn the people because of their wrong doings, and they did not heed the warnings because of pride. Pride is a self-destructive weapon. And the wrath of God was upon them. Pride goes before destruction. Brokenness and humility before God is the beginning of healing and restoration. A heart that's not wanting and not able to be corrected will never see growth spiritually.

A rebellious spirit is a result of disobedience. Israel rebelled against God because of disobedience. You can be a Christian,  a believer but if you never deal with it, it will destroy your life. A disobedient heart, a rebellious spirit, you either inherited it from your ancestors. It may be a generational curse as well. Prideful heart, you should identify it from who you inherited it. If you aren't able to deal with it, then seek help from the Pastors or the leaders of the church. The only way is to allow God to break us. You may say I'M UNBREAKABLE AND FLEXIBLE, but when God begins to break you, there will be no room for you to be flexible. For your information,  flexible is a spirit as well. A flexible heart dangles between the worldly desires and the spirituality. It swings here and there. It tends to have a strong base,  but as a matter of fact it does not even have one. You may be actively serving, but in one way or another pride, disobedience and rebellious spirit will come up to surface one day. Jeremiah wasn't a prophet who seeks to please men with soothing words. I'm a servant of God not here to give or share good devotion,  there is a need to rebuke and reproof. I'm not a man pleaser, sorry. I rather obey God and do what He says,  then to disobey His commands and rebel against Him.

Let this day be the day of the Lord!
