FAITH CAPSULE: Self-assumption will lead outside of the direction of God.

Genesis 19

Every God-created day is a journey with the plan of God to keep one in His way. 
The way of God is His word for all to follow through and not be wasted. Ignoring and disobeying God will set one up consciously or unconsciously outside of the plan of God. 
Self-assumption is an avenue to self-destruction. 
There is no reasonable excuse to disobey the plan of God for all. Proverbs 13:13 states for the wise as a warning “He who despises the word will be destroyed, but he who fears the commandment will be rewarded.” 
Walking outside of God is also evidence of giving self to self assumption, not to the plan of God.
Come out of self-assumption into the plan of God that will get obedient to a divine assignment for life.
Are you a man with self-assumption or self-determination to engage in self-assignment? 
The way that that seems right to one can lead to death. Proverbs 14:12 warns, “There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death.” 
Determination to depend on self-assumption will take one to step outside the plan of God. 
A specified direction of God was His plan for the family of Lot. 
Encased in the direction for Lot and his family were deliverance and preservation to keep them from destruction.
The book of Genesis 19:17 records, “So it came to pass when they had brought them outside, that he said, ‘escape for your life! Do not look behind you nor stay anywhere in the plain escape to the mountains, lest you be destroyed.’” 
The wife of Lot took to self-assumption.
Genesis 19:26 records the consequence, “But his wife looked back behind him and she became a pillar of salt.” 
In her journey, she looked back against the will of God, and she could not further but wasted in life.
The wife of Lot died in disobedience. 
Every determination outside of God is evidence of the spirit of disobedience in life to the will of God. 
Are you finding it difficult to obey the direction of God? 
Your determination will fail. 
1Samuel 2:9 says that “by strength shall no man prevail.” 
Ask God to give you the strength to go by His will in the life journey, not to be a failure.          
Determination with desire will enable one not to fail in the will of God.
Self-determination made Peter deny Jesus three times, but the seed of prayer of Jesus was in place to deliver Peter. Luke 22:32 states, “But I have prayed for you, that your faith should not fail; and when you have returned to Me, strengthen your brethren.”  
Avoid self-assumption and self-determination that is outside of God.

Prayer for today: Ask for the word of God to be established in your life.
