FAITH CAPSULE: Ignorance is not with excuse before God.
2 Samuel 6
Have the desire that the presence of God ride you!
What rides on one will occupy such to excel and live for the glory of God.
The donkey that the Lord Jesus rode to Jerusalem walked in honor, exposed to the glory of God because it was carrying and occupied by the presence of Jesus.
Ask God to ride and occupy you continually, the days He has given you.
Ask that you be enabled to live life to the glory of God and not live a life of waste this year in the name of Jesus.
Ignorance can be a cause living of waste.
Ignorance is not with excuse before God.
Ignorance makes a destitute of a believer.
Ignorance makes a believer do right in a wrong way and does not gain the presence of God.
UZZAH ignorantly put his hand on the ark and was struck by the anger of God.
2 Samuel 6:6-7 records, “And when they came to Nachon’s threshing floor, Uzzah put out his hand to the ark of God and took hold of it, for the oxen stumbled. 7 Then the anger of the Lord was aroused against Uzzah, and God struck him there for his error, and he died there by the ark of God.”
There is no excuse for ignorant violations of God.
Error terminates. (Numbers 4:15 says that no one shall touch holy things of God)
What one thinks is what such asks. (Ephesians 3:20)
Ask that you will not live a life of ignorance that makes destitute (lacking the understanding) of a believer.
Ask that you will not be a victim of error with no excuse that does not provoke the mercy of God.
2 Samuel 6:7 states, “The anger of the Lord was aroused against Uzzah…”
Ask that the error that will arouse the anger of God against you shall not have a place over your life.
Do not live a life of telling lies.
Telling lies in the place of doing right is not of God.
Ananias and Sapphira, his wife, sold a possession.
Ananias kept back part of the proceeds.
His wife also knows about the lying.
Peter said, “Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and keep back part of the price of the land for yourself?
Ananias had no excuse for doing right in the wrong way to die instantly.
Peter approached Sapphira to find out about the wrong deal.
Acts 5:10 records, “Then immediately she fell down at his feet and breathed her last. And the young men came in and found her dead, and carrying her out, buried her by her husband.”
Prayer for today: Ask that, just like Ananias and Sapphira, telling lies consciously or unconsciously shall not have a place in your life.
Also, ask that you will not live to do the right way in the wrong way.
