Seeds Of Destiny 24 July 2024: Message
Understanding is a major secret of outstanding performance in life’s undertakings. People play their roles to the best of their understanding and ability.
The opposite is the case with lack of understanding. Inaccurate understanding, especially of divine instructions, is a doorway to character failure and tragedies in the journey of life and destiny. A major root of character challenge is the lack of understanding of divine instruction.
This also means the lack of understanding of the Word of God. Inaccurate understanding of God’s Word is a root of character failure.
In the beginning, God gave a clear instruction to Adam about the management of the Garden of Eden and the fruits in it. But Eve did not understand the full detail of the instruction God gave Adam. Eve was not there when God spoke to Adam about the fruits in the Garden of Eden.
God only told Adam not to eat the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil (Genesis 2:17)
Perhaps, Adam did not explain to Eve the full detail of what God said about the fruits of the garden.
When the serpent confronted Eve, she told the serpent that God told them not to touch the fruit (Genesis 3:3).
So, the whole instruction about the fruit was totally misunderstood and it became the root of a major character challenge – the sin of disobedience.
God did not say they should not touch the fruit. Come to think of it, if they were not to touch the fruit, there was no way they would dress the garden, which was the work God gave them to do in the garden.
And as a result of this misunderstanding of the instruction of God, both Adam and Eve sinned against God.
Please take note of this: the Word of God will keep you in character, and the lack of the Word of God will cause character failure. When the word of God is abundant in a man’s life, his character must be adjusted positively. But when the word of God is absent in the heart of a man, his character will be lost.
Remember this: Inaccurate understanding of God’s Word is a root of character failure.
ASSIGNMENT:
1. Ask God for a proper understanding of His Word.
2. Like the Berean Christians, make up your mind to sit with the Word comparing Scriptures with Scriptures to get accurate understanding and interpretation of God’s Word.
PRAYER: Lord, I ask that You give me the grace to understand Your Word accurately. Help me to understand your instructions and obey accordingly, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.
