Beloved, like believers in the Bible days, you too can endear yourself to God, by rendering consistent implicit Yielding to Him.

Hosea 8:3. Israel hath cast off the thing that is good: the enemy shall pursue him.

This new year and in fact, till Christ comes shall be rosy and blissful for you in particular, just resolve to always yield to God in prompt and implicit obedience.

Psalms 119:60. I made haste, and delayed not. to keep thy commandments.

Many in time past and even know had erroneously thought, they could placate God with many other things without obedience.

BELOVED ALWAYS REMEMBER, WHATEVER YOU CHOSE TO DO. FOR GOD, THAT LACK OBEDIENCE, SHALL NOT BE RECEIVED NOR YIELD ANY REWARD.

1 Samuel 15:22-23. And Samuel said, Hath the Lord as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the Lord?

Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams. For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry.

Because thou hast rejected the word of the Lord, he hath also rejected thee from being king.

THE ONE UNCHANGING REQUISITE OF GOD FROM THE OUTSET TO THE END OF TIME IS BIBLICAL OBEDIENCE

Jeremiah 7:23. But this thing commanded I them, saying, Obey my voice, and I will be your God, and ye shall be my people:

and walk ye in all the ways that I have commanded you, that it may be well unto you.

UNFORTUNATELY, THIS WAS WHAT THEY IMPUDENTLY CAST OFF, IN THE DAYS OF HOSEA AND SUFFERED AVOIDABLE AND SHAMEFUL DEGRADING PUNISHMENT.

Hosea 8:3. Israel hath cast off the thing that is good: the enemy shall pursue him. See how the scriptures described what they casted off .

Hosea 8:12. I have written to him the great things of my law, but they were counted as a strange thing.

Hosea 8:14. For Israel hath forgotten his Maker, and buildeth temples; and Judah hath multiplied fenced cities: but I will send a fire upon his cities, and it shall devour the palaces thereof.

Beloved, as a wise person that you have always been, never ever toed the shameful lifestyle of these people for your well being now and in the future at eternity.

FROM ETERNITY PAST, ONE SINGULAR ATTITUDE GOD EXPECTS FROM ALL HIS SAINTS AND YOU TOO, IS PROMPT IMPLICIT OBEDIENCE AT ALL TIMES.

Receive grace to do so in Jesus name.

Jeremiah 11:4: Which I commanded your fathers in the day that I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, from the iron furnace:

Exodus 19:5:-6. Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people:

But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:

And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

Hebrews 5:7-8. Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death:

and was heard in that he feared; Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered;

This legacy was what Jesus left for all His faithful believers of all ages, glory to God, it includes you.

Matthew 7:24 -27. ¶Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:

And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not:

for it was founded upon a rock.

And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:

And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.

Matthew 17:5: While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them:

and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.

Enjoy the ceaseless rewards saints in the bible days received from God through following the obedient lifestyle of Christ.

This shall be your portion too in Jesus name.

Rapture is dawning. By the grace of God it shall not elude you in Jesus name.

However, the nominal churchgoers, care free believers and the Worldling shall be abysmally disappointed.

Their undoing is their flagrant disobedience or partial obedience to God.

Jeremiah 44:16-17. As for the word that thou hast spoken unto us in the name of the Lord, we will not hearken unto thee.

But we will certainly do whatsoever thing goeth forth out of our own mouth, to burn incense unto the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her:

as we have done, we, and our fathers, our kings, and our princes, in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem:

for then had we plenty of victuals, and were well, and saw no evil.

Rev 3:15-18. I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.

So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.

Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:

I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed:

and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.

But for you, please continue in your lifestyle of consistent biblical obedience which shall usher you into your earnest expectation to partake in the dawning rapture.

Receive abundance grace to do so in Jesus name.,
