FAITH CAPSULE:God expects one to operate in an order that complements His word.

2 Kings 20; Acts 9:1-9

Order is the disposition of things following one after another, as in space or time.God is a God of order. When God gives His order it becomes an authoritative direction or instruction; command; mandate. God expects the life of His creation to be in order. There is no one whom God has called that does not have an order of how to respond to His calling. Each and every God’s assignment is backed with God’s order. Has the Lord entrusted you for His assignment? Yes, He must have entrusted you with an assignment and each of His assignments have their order in the pages of His word. It does not matter how minor it may look, believe that God expects one to operate in an order that complements His word. In any area of one’s life where order is expected, be it in one’s house, marriage or assigned journey, God will lead one, and there will be no place to fail for the one that walks in God’s order.
When Apostle Paul was on his way to Damascus, he heard the calling of the Lord and he received order. Acts 9: 6, “So he, trembling and astonished, said “Lord, what do You want me to do? Then the Lord said to him, ‘Arise and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do.’” For Apostle Paul, what must be done was inhabited inside of God’s order that guided him in the assigned journey of his life.
Where there is no order, there is disorder. Where there is disorder, death displays itself.Once King Hezekiah violated God’s order and his life was set to be terminated. Hezekiah became sick because of his disorder in line of God’s assignment. 2 Kings 20:1-2, “In those days Hezekiah was sick and near death. And Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, went to him, ‘thus says the Lord: set your house in order, for you shall die, and not live.’” Hezekiah yielded to the word of God by setting his house in order and his life was restored unto to him.
The journey of life demands walking in God’s orderliness. When God brought the children of Israel out of bondage of over four hundred years, they journeyed in order. Exodus 13:18, “So God led the people around by way of the wilderness of the Red Sea. And the children of Israel went up in orderly ranks out of the land of Egypt.” Orderliness is vital in the journey of life and it is to occupy every area of life. Are you having orderliness in all areas of God’s calling for your life? The way out of bondage, captivity or sudden and untimely death is walking in order of the word of God. Walk in God’s order and He will ordain you for His glory.
