Joke?
Gen.19:12-15
The wordof God gave strong warnings concerning different issues of life. The warningsare meant to make or break anyone that chooses to obey or disobey. For example,1Pet.4:7 the end of all things is at hand; therefore be serious andwatchful in your prayers. Despite this warning, you continue toapproach your prayer life with lack of seriousness. Are you one of those thatare always and constantly rushing in and out of their prayer time? The word ofGod is not for decoration; the word of God is for creation. ÊHave you thoughtfor yourself, the reason why the word would have been said if it was not meantfor manifestation? Every step away from fully obeying the word of God is acloser step to full destruction. Also, the failure to take to the word of Godis a passage to a grand destruction. The word can not be taken for a joke. WhenSodom of Gomorrah was to be destroyed, the angel required Lot to go and speak to his sons-in-law and they took Lot for joke. Gen.19:14 so Lot went out and spoke to hissons-in-law, who had married his daughters and said, ÒGet up, get out of thisplace; for the LORD will destroy this city!Ó But to his sons-in-law he seemedto be joking.Does the word of God seem to be a joke to you? Did you said no? If you are onethat does not obey the word of God, you have taken it for a joke. You eitherobey the word and take it with seriousness or disobey the word and take it withno seriousness. There was no further indication that the sons-in-law followed Lot. They must have been destroyed. You can avoiddestruction by taking to the word of God. Ps.107:20 He sent His word tohealed them, And delivered them from their destructions. What He saidto them, He says it to all. LORD, have mercy.Ê ÊÊÊÊÊ
