It's for our own good
Deuteronomy 6:24 And the LORD commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear the LORD our God, for our good always, that he might preserve us alive, as it is at this day.
6:25 And it shall be our righteousness, if we observe to do all these commandments before the LORD our God, as he hath commanded us.
Sometimes when God gives specific instructions, we thought God is wicked and inhuman, but little did we know that all of His instructions are all for our own good.
Tithes and offering is not actually for God in the real sense of understanding, its actually for fellow men... As many as devoted their whole lives for your spiritual growth, so also its your duty to take care of them in your own little way and by so doing you are pleasing God.
Loving your neighbours as your self is establishing the love for humanity, creating a chain of association, friendship, co- existing and tolerance among each other. With this, men can live in peace and harmony...
Fornication and adultery actually has nothing to do with God, but has a lot to do with us... Everything we do is to our own body, sexual intercourse is forbidden before marriage, this creat purity, focus, and more intimacy with God, Joseph fled in other not to destroy God's plan for his life... It would have been different script written for him if he had slept with his master's wife...If sex is just like eating cake then why does adultery feel so painful?
But for Samson, he was categorically warned never to marry from the philistines as he carries a unique power and grace of God fore a divine assignment, but he chose to follow his heart desires, the end of it all is for him to die a shameful and untimely death... The surprising thing is, God moved on with another...
Serving God, obeying his words, doing His will is never because we are doing Him any good, it's all because of us. If the whole world chose not to serve Him today, it doesn't stop him being God.
So check and balance, understand and believe today that all the instructions God has given or is giving today is all for your own good.
You can chose to follow and have a happy end or chose not to follow and regret ever after.
The choice is yours...
God bless you.
