FAITH CAPSULE: Avoid self-destruction; walk not outside of His word.

Genesis 6

Through the pages of scripture, every God command of God comes in detail. God expects us to obey according to His command. Disobeying God’s command is despising the word of God. Bible makes us to realize by stating, “He who despises the word will be destroyed, but he who fears the commandment will be rewarded.” (Proverbs 13:13) God is forever consistent watching over His word to bring forth manifestation. In Proverbs 18:10, the bible describes the name of God, “The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are safe.” It is important to take it to heart that, as strong as His name is, yet He has magnified His word above all His name. (Psalm 138:2) Does that speak volume to you as regard to abiding and not despising His word? As an acclaimed believer, avoid self-destruction; watch out and walk not outside of His word which have sounded or which is sounding in your direction and not end in self-destruction.
In the days of Noah, God gave His detailed word of command to build an ark. He also gave His word for the purpose of building ark stating, “And behold, I Myself am bringing floodwaters on the earth, to destroy from under heaven all flesh in which is the breath of life; everything that is on the earth shall die.  But I will establish My covenant with you; and you shall go into the ark—you, your sons, your wife, and your sons’ wives with you. And of every living thing of all flesh you shall bring two of every sort into the ark, to keep them alive with you; they shall be male and female.” (Genesis 6:6:17-19) For Noah to live in the face of destruction that was set to manifest, there was a need for Noah to follow fully and not despise the word of God. Noah did not despise God and destruction could not attend to him and his family.
As big as the world is in the eyes of man, there is no place to hide or run from the consequence of disobedient to the word of God. The same God who sent His word to save Noah from destruction has sent His word to deliver us from self-destruction. It is worthy to understand that if only one out of thousands complies and not despise the word of God, such shall not be destroyed. 
Clearly, the word of God represents God; not taking the word of God for God is not taking God for who He is. He is the Great “I AM”; One who is clothed with honor and majesty; the One who makes the clouds His chariot.(Psalm 104) Give yourself fully to the word of God and not be destroyed.

Prayer for today: Ask God for the grace to fully follow His word of command all the days of your life.
