MAJOR ORDER: The Helldivers stood their ground valiantly against the spread of insectile Fascism, and as a result, the construction of the Penrose Energy Siphon has been enabled. Massive E-710-powered rockets are now being assembled for launch into the ergosphere of the Meridian Singularity to halt its momentum. Alas, focus must now be split, as Automaton forces have landed on multiple planets in what appears to be a coordinated, large-scale, craven assault. The forces are led by a series of new Automaton units wielding incendiary weapons. This unit has been termed the Incineration Corps. However, the Penrose Energy Siphon, which would significantly slow the Singularity's advance, is nearly ready for activation. Every lost day could make the difference between the preservation or destruction of another planet. High Command delegates to the Helldivers this choice: hold off the Automaton assault, or effect the immediate activation of the Penrose Energy Siphon.

Luke 6:38 Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over, will be poured into your lap. The measure you use will be measured back to you. To give is an expression of GOD's nature. When God expressed His love to the world, He gave. He did not just give as one gives to a beggar, a tiny fraction of the surplus of wealth and riches of heaven. He gave as one giving the best He had, His only beloved Son. Many know, but few understand the implications. That is to say, GOD did not give us the unwanted, the overrun, the rejects of heaven but His treasure, the One and Only one of heaven. GOD's giving is more than sharing what He has as what best buddies do. He gave us the most precious things He had when He gave us His one and only Son. Therefore, when GOD expressed His love, it was packed with sincerity and generosity that cost Him, figuratively, heart pain. David understood this principle when he said that he would not offer anything to GOD that cost me nothing. In the same manner, Solomon offered to GOD an extravagant sacrifice of 22,000 oxen and 120,000 sheeps for the dedication of the Lord's temple. These figures are meaningless unless we can add some understanding to them. If one sheep can feed fifty people, then 120,000 sheep can feed 6 million people. An ox is about the weight of seven sheep. Twenty-two thousand oxen would equate to the weight of 154,000 sheep. The amount can feed 7.7 million people. In total, Solomon's offering was a meal for 13.7 million people. According to the BAS Library, Jerusalem's population during the reign of King Solomon was around 5,000 people. Compared to the population, the number of the sacrifice was astounding and beyond imagination. Solomon did not need to overkill in his offering, but he did. GOD is not a beast that takes delight in the blood of oxen and sheep. However, in all sacrifices, GOD wants to see blood. If there is no blood, then it is not a sacrifice. Therefore, if Solomon's offering did not cause him pain, he would not, figuratively, bleed for it. In other words, if something were to cost us something, it must cause us heart pain. Only then would it be an acceptable sacrifice to GOD. If not, we are only offering GOD our surplus or donation that we can live without. Only when we understand giving as GOD gives will we know how to reciprocate, activating His promise of a good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over, will our giving be compounded back to us. As much as the principle might sound simple, GOD will return us more and above what we give, but it is not. Many would not give because it is not within our nature to give. As natural as a dog barks and a cat meows, we take, snatch, grab, hoard, rob, steal, etc. Therefore, to give is against our grain. In his epistle, the Apostle James states that we crave what we do not have and will kill and covet to obtain it. We quarrel and fight. GOD knows who we are beneath our facade. To guard against our default desire to take whatever does not belong to us, GOD put within the Ten Commandments that You shall not steal. Even that is not enough. He added another two commandments: You shall not covet, and You shall not murder. The first one is to prevent stealing from taking root in us by forbidding us from harbouring secret desires of coveting what belongs to others. The latter is to guard against killing others to take over their possessions, like David killing Uriah the Hittite and taking his wife, Bathsheba, as his woman. If it is not within our nature to take what does not belong to us, then GOD will not have gone to the extent of placing three out of the Ten Commandments addressing the weakness. And dangle such a big carrot of overflowing returns of a good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over, will be poured out to us. That is, when we give an apple, we reap a tree of apples. Or, like Abraham, who offered GOD his son and reaped descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky. GOD is exceptionally generous with His promises, outshining us in our giving. The next question is if GOD's promises are easily achievable, then everyone should be living in the promised land flowing with milk and honey. However, most of us are not. If not, then we need to look deeper into His promises, as we might be assuming something wrongly. GOD's promises are more challenging to achieve than we can imagine. The challenge is before we can give, our covetous nature must die. Without it dying, we cannot give. In other words, we are locked within our covetousness. It is as challenging as getting a stingy person to be generous, a rebellious child to be obedient, or a lazy man to be diligent. On the surface, changing might not be a big issue as it is a matter of orientation. Yes, if only we could orientate the sun to rise from the west and set in the east. Even Jesus, a Man of miracles, looked at the rich young man and shook His head. He could do nothing for him except to say, "Truly I tell you, it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. Again, I tell you, it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God." The rich young man was much better than many as he was obedient to the commandments - Do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not bear false witness, honour your father and mother, and love your neighbour as yourself. The one thing he could not do is to give. He could not give up his wealth for the kingdom of GOD as Jesus wanted of him. The unfortunate truth is that many are like little children who cannot give up the little they can grab in their hands for the much that is in GOD's hands. They only want GOD to give them abundantly without them having to give anything first. However, GOD's principle does not work this way. If not, Jesus would not have instructed us otherwise and not to give, and it will be given to us. Therefore, giving is a prerequisite to receiving. Jesus, indisputably, came as the truth, and what He says is the way. Hence, whatever He instructs, we must follow. However, the hidden issue is not that we do not wish to follow, but by default, we cannot. That is what many are unaware of. The Apostle Paul understood when he said, "For I do not do the good I want to do. Instead, I keep on doing the evil I do not want to do. And if I do what I do not want, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it." Jesus knows and understands our weakness and incapability, and He has a solution for us. Therefore, He said, "If anyone wants to come after Me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow Me." What must we deny? We must deny the sinful carnal man within us. This carnal man is not dead but very much alive within us. He is our best buddy in sin. He is the nagging voice luring us to do evil and the disapproving voice to do good. The Apostle Paul referred to him as our flesh. He said, "For the flesh craves what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are opposed to each other, so we do not do what we want." In other words, we do not have much choice but to listen to the flesh as long as he is alive within us. If not, he will nag 24/7 until we surrender. Consequently, we often do things that we regret later. Whoever listens to his flesh cannot obey GOD's commandments and will not please Him. As long as the flesh is alive within us, we can only be carnal Christians and not Christians transformed in the image of Christ. To be transformed Christians, we must be able to say, 'I have been crucified with Christ, and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me.' The crucifixion is in mind. It is in our thinking. We need to crucify the mind of our flesh. Therefore, the Apostle Paul urged us, "Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind." What that means is we must not think according to the logic of the world but to spiritual logic. We need to learn to think according to the wisdom of GOD's spiritual laws and not the wisdom of the world. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. To carnal thinking, to give is to rob ourselves by ourselves, and this is a disputable fact. When we give, we will have less. No one ever gives and yet to have more. Hence, the less we give, the more we have. Therefore, no one with a rational mind would rob himself of good things by giving them away. The rich young man who wanted to obtain eternal life is likewise. He could do many things for GOD except to give. On the surface, he is a pious person, but deep within, he is self-centred. The motive of his actions is all for himself - to achieve abundant life on earth and eternal life in heaven. He could not give of his wealth as it would affect his abundant life on earth. Hence, he hoped to obtain his eternal life by doing and not by giving. Not giving is not a sin, as GOD never state in the Ten Commandments that You might give or be cursed. However, it is a sign of a lack of faith in GOD, and it will affect our ability to receive from Him. Proverbs 3 states, "Honour the LORD with your wealth and with the firstfruits of all your crops; then your barns will be filled with plenty, and your vats will overflow with new wine." That means if we share with GOD our wealth and all that we have, He will bless us with abundance, plentiful and overflowing. If not, the opposite will happen - scarcity, lack and shortfall. Why should this be so? We must remember that the ground is cursed after the fall of man, as it will yield for us thorns and thistles. That means when we plant a tomato plant, we will not get tomatoes but weeds. When we start a business, instead of making a profit, we make losses. As a rule of thumb, nine out of ten businesses will fail, even for well-funded companies with no exception. Whatever hard work we sow into the cursed ground, it is like sowing into a block hole. It will not be the result we expect. For this reason, we cannot look to the ground to give us the works of our hands. Instead, we must look upwards towards GOD. We need Him to nullify the curse of the ground so that we reap the fruit of our hands. Many are unaware that everyone is walking on cursed ground because we are spiritually blinded to the wilderness we are in. We cannot see beyond the physical to understand the spiritual realm of GOD. No matter how high we climb or how far we walk, wherever we turn or wherever we go, it does not matter because everywhere is the wilderness. Only GOD can lead us into His promised land that we will experience blessedness, for it is as described in the book of Deuteronomy, a good land, a land of brooks and fountains and springs that flow through the valleys and hills; a land of wheat, barley, vines, fig trees, and pomegranates; a land of olive oil and honey; a land where you will eat food without scarcity, where we will lack nothing; a land whose rocks are iron and whose hills are ready to be mined for copper. When we eat and are satisfied, we are to bless the LORD our God for the good land. We must remember that the ground is cursed, and nothing grows in it. Whatever excellent efforts we put in will go to waste. Therefore, we cannot expect to sow on earth and reap from earth. We can only expect to sow on earth and reap from heaven, seeking GOD to bless the work of our hands. We must give against our nature to give, having faith in GOD that He will enlarge our boundaries and multiply our hard work. Therefore, giving is not an option but an assurance that we will reap what we sow. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over, will be poured into us. Prayer: Oh God, we thank you for this understanding of the passage that You are our Jehovah Jireh. Teach us to sow generously whilst on this earth so that we will reap a abundant return in Heaven. In Jesus Name, Amen

Know Thy Enemy 1 Peter 5:8 Be sober-minded and alert. Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. Sun Tzu, a Chinese military general, strategist, and philosopher, once said, "Know thy enemy and know yourself; in a hundred battles, you will never be defeated." Knowing ourselves alone is like a blind archer shooting arrows at a target, hoping one will hit the bullseye. Knowing ourselves and our enemy is like an archer with eagle-eye vision, and with every arrow he shoots, he will surely hit the bullseye. Therefore, we cannot walk naively through life, blind to our enemy, knowing nothing of him except his name. Ignorance is not bliss. In the book of Hosea, GOD said, "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I will also reject you as My priests. Since you have forgotten the law of your God, I will also forget your children."  Who is our enemy? Anything or anyone that turns us away from GOD is our enemy. Therefore, as children of GOD, we cannot be as innocent as doves but also as wise as serpents to know who our enemy is. We cannot be like Eve, knowing good and not evil or knowing light and not darkness. She is not at fault because she has not taken the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil during that time to know the existence of evil. She only knew a friend but not a foe, good but not evil, that could turn her fate for the worse. Hence, she was as innocent as doves. We cannot be like that because within us is the knowledge of good and evil, so we must be more than innocent as doves but as wise as serpents to know the traps of evil. We cannot be living in a fool's paradise, thinking that GOD will save us from the hand of the devourer. He will not since He did not save Adam and Eve from the deceit of the Serpent that led them into suffering, pain and death. Why would he make an exception for us? To beware of our enemy, we should never let anyone sweet-talk us into believing anything that seems too good to be true—it probably is. GOD's actions speak louder than His Words. Unless those gifts are under goodwill, everything of GOD, protection, provision, blessings, or promises requires us to walk on the tightrope of obedience. Even though Eve is ignorant, naive, or impressionable, she could not have fallen into the Serpent's lie if she had walked tightly on the rope of obedience. God's protection and provision are only found in obedience, and anything out of obedience is out of His protection. Hence, once Adam and Eve disobeyed, they had to leave Eden away from GOD's protection and provision. GOD did not show them leniency even when they were first-time offenders deserving a second chance.  Once fallen, the second chance only came a few thousand years later in the form of Jesus Christ. Even if we are given a second chance, it does not exempt us from being disobedient to do as we wish. We still have to be obedient in the face of temptations. Even if Jesus's love covers all sins, it does not mean we can continue sinning. Anyone who continues to sin shows he is unrepentant. Forgiveness requires a repentance heart and demands us to turn over a new leaf. If there is no change and transformation, it will mean that there is no repentance. In the epistle of 1 John, John states, "No one who remains in Him keeps on sinning. No one who continues to sin has seen Him or known Him." That implies that knowing GOD will teach us to stop sinning, which is where forgiveness comes in. If we keep sinning, then we need more than forgiveness; we need tolerance. But GOD is willing only to forgive sin, not tolerate sin. Coming back to what is written in the book of Hosea, we are destroyed by a lack of knowledge because we have rejected knowledge. At face value, we are blockheaded to reject knowledge, but in reality, our fallen nature refuses to accept the things of GOD. It is written in the Epistle of Galatians, 'For the flesh craves what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are opposed to each other, so you do not do what you want.' Therefore, no matter how hard we endeavour, as long as our flesh is alive, we will refuse to learn. It is not that we do not want to, but we cannot because the flesh, our gatekeeper, has a natural rejection of the law. The law of GOD goes in one ear and out the other. Metaphorically, we are like a filter that absorbs all evil influences and sieves out all good. Through the prophet Hosea, GOD reprimanded the Jews for being blockheaded, but it is not a Jewish problem but a universal one. Anyone who wants to become a child of GOD will face the issue of incompatibility of their fallen nature with GOD's. They are like oil and water, immiscible. Indirectly, GOD is saying through the prophet Hosea that whoever rejects the law is incompatible with Him and cannot be His children. Therefore, anyone holding on to his flesh becomes an enemy of GOD and cannot be his child. In today's context, many believe that once their sins are forgiven, it means that God has accepted them as who they are—fallen beings. Do not be deceived. If this is true, then many things cannot add up. If the blood of Jesus can wash away our sins and transform our fallen nature, then Jesus would not ask us to deny ourselves, take up our cross, and follow Him. Jesus's blood can only wash away our sins but not transform our fallen nature. When Jesus said, "It is finished." And bowing His head, He yielded up His Spirit. It does not mean that, with His death, we are free from our fallen nature. Our enemy hopes we will believe that. Jesus meant He had finished his mission on earth. He conquered man's eternal death so that whoever believes in Him will not perish but have everlasting life. If Jesus's death is enough to put to death our fallen nature, then it is redundant for Jesus to ask us to deny ourselves. That is to say, Jesus has done His part, figuratively, to bring us to the water. We must drink the water ourselves. If we want to belong to Christ Jesus, according to the Epistle of Galatians, we must crucify the flesh with its passions and desires. No one can do that for us except ourselves. We hold the last piece of the puzzle to salvation as we have the final say - to crucify or not to crucify our flesh. Now, standing between God and us is our common enemy, the fallen nature. With Christ's death on the cross for our sins, God no longer holds against us for the old debt, which is committed by our fallen nature. God is willing to let bygones be bygones. However, bygones will never be bygones if we keep sinning by listening to our fallen nature, keeping the beast alive. In the epistle of Romans, Paul states, 'For if you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.' This verse refutes the catchphrase of 'once saved, always saved.' No one is saved until they put to death the deeds of the body. That is to say, if there is no death of our fallen nature, we will not be saved. When we believe in GOD, He expects us to be transformed. A confused mind is the devil's playground. Therefore, we must be clear of the changes between the old and the new covenants. Jesus came to fulfil the old covenant by His death on the cross, bringing about the new covenant. If we are not clear about the change, then we will be like Eve, falling into our enemy's deceit. To understand this change, we must understand Paul's writing by understanding who he is. Jesus recruited Apostle Paul after He had resurrected, in a spiritual encounter, where Jesus appeared to Paul in an audible voice. Paul is unlike Jesus's twelve disciples, who among them were fishermen, tax collectors and peasants. Paul was a Pharisee, a student of Gamaliel, a man held in great esteem by all Jews. Therefore, Paul was not a nobody like the rest but someone proficient in the Law of Moses. He wrote and contributed about fourteen out of the twenty-seven epistles of the New Testament, having a dominant no lesser than Jesus's disciples. Instead of selecting one of the twelve disciples whom Jesus closely taught to champion the post-Christ movement, GOD chose Paul, who had never met Jesus and didn't claim to have met him. Paul is similar to Moses, who was taught by the best of the Egyptian court, and Paul, who was trained by Gamaliel, recognized as a Pharisee doctor of Jewish Law. Through Moses, GOD established the Old Covenant and through Paul, the New Covenant. Many of Paul's writings are challenging to comprehend and are unlike those written by Jesus's disciples, who are narrations of Jesus's ministry. Paul's writing expounds on the ministry of the Holy Spirit. When we put to death the deeds of the body, we are no longer under the law but under the Holy Spirit. Jesus's death parted a way for those who believe in Him to walk out of the bondage of sin like GOD parted the Red Sea for the Israelites to leave the bondage of Egypt. Unless we are willing to sin no more, we will not move out of the bondage of sin. The good news is the door remains open and will be opened forever to anyone who wants to leave their sin behind. The contention is not about the open door but who is exiting through the door. Many praise GOD for His goodness for the open door, but no one is leaving their Sodom and Gomorrah because they love sinning too much to leave. Therefore, no matter how good GOD is, it has nothing to do with anyone unless he wants to stop sinning. After evaluating all that Christ has done by His death on the cross, Paul still warns us that if we live according to the flesh, we will die, implying that the flesh is still alive in us, residing in the still soft voice, leading us into the way of evilness. Jesus's death or blood has no detrimental effect of it. It is still much alive, working its way to our death. It is like some cancerous cells working within us that cannot be removed by any means except by the Holy Spirit. Only those under the Holy Spirit have the power of the Holy Spirit to put to death the deeds of the body by sinning no more. Only then will they live. Many do not know that our enemy is well hidden within us, the first one to greet us in the morning and the last one to wish us goodnight, always talking to us and helping us make decisions. Those who listen to it become futile in their thinking and darkened in their foolish hearts. Paul describes them as having a depraved mind to do what ought not to be done. They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed, and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, and malice. They are gossips, slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant, and boastful. They invent new forms of evil; they disobey their parents. They are senseless, faithless, heartless, merciless. The blood of Jesus did not put a stop to the evil influences we are hearing. As long as we are willing to listen, it will speak. Once we listen, we become accomplices in crime, like Cain, who killed his brother Abel. Our enemy is much nearer to us than we think and more influential to us than we know. He is not the big bad fox lurking in the forest but the coaxing voice that, as our second nature, justifies us to sin. When we look at the broken lives, broken relationships, or broken bank accounts of many, we know many have listened to its foolishness and treated it as wisdom. We cannot outsmart our fallen nature because it has evolved through time to understand the weaknesses of men. Therefore, we need to stand firm on GOD's commandments and not depart from them. Only then can we not fall into destruction. However, despite our best intentions and determination, it will be challenging because we do not have what it takes to be better than our fallen nature. We are like David fighting Goliath, sure to be defeated. We are, as Jesus commented, 'Watch and pray so that you will not enter into temptation. For the spirit is willing, but the body is weak.' Jesus could have given us a better answer as to how to combat the weakness, but He did not. What He said is as good as asking us to wait and see that we do not enter into temptation. It is not that He does not want, but it is not under His purview but the purview of Paul to introduce the Ministry of the Holy Spirit. Without this, the work of the Trinity would not be complete. Only then will we be like Samson in an incident where suddenly, a young lion came roaring at him, and the Spirit of the LORD came powerfully upon him, and he tore the lion apart with his bare hands as one would tear a young goat. We will be tearing apart the roaring lion, our devour. Prayer: Thank you, God, for giving me the Holy Spirit to empower me to defeat my enemy and for opening my eyes to see how easily my enemy can infiltrate my mind and heart—just as easily as the Serpent is able to access the Garden of Eden to talk to Eve. Only when I study your words carefully will I not be like Eve, deceived into believing something that is not true. Continue to teach and guide me through your Holy Spirit so that I will not fall into the devil's trap and sin against you. Amen.

You can predict your future! Hebrews 10:23 Let us hold firmly to the hope we profess, for He who promised is faithful. The uncertainty of tomorrow Luke 12:19-20 Then I will say to myself, "You have plenty of good things laid up for many years. Take it easy. Eat, drink, and be merry!" But God said to him, 'You fool! This very night, your life will be required of you. As many might assume, whatever happens to us may be based on random selection. Many can plan for tomorrow, but there is no assurance that things will go as planned. Like in a card game, no one is in control of the cards in a card game as no one is in control of one's fate; all go by chance and probability. There is only so much we can do, and the rest is in the hands of GOD. As Solomon stated, "Time and chance happen to all."  There is no certainty about what the future might bring because no one knows what surprises tomorrow might hold. Today, we might be wise in our eyes, but when tomorrow comes, the situation might turn against us, and what wisdom is becomes foolishness. Or what is good might turn sour, what is fast might break down, or what is strong becomes weak. Tomorrow is a game changer, ushering in changes and new challenges, obsolating the old and giving birth to the new. If we are not careful, we might be caught off guard and be thrown into the ocean under the mercy of the unpredictable storm called tomorrow that can sink any ship. Today's success does not mean a successful tomorrow. When tomorrow's earthquake comes, it will level down any giant, making a joke of anyone's hard work. Therefore, the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong; neither is the bread to the wise, nor the wealth to the intelligent nor the favour to the skilful. That is the reality that all have to face. The certainty in the uncertainty Psalm 1:3 He is like a tree planted by streams of water, yielding its fruit in season, whose leaf does not wither, and who prospers in all he does. If everyone's life is laced with uncertainty, then what certainty can we expect? As Jesus described, our precariousness is like the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow, thrown into the furnace. That means today, we can be happily swaying in the field, enjoying the breeze, and tomorrow, we will be burned in the furnace. What hope do we have in an ever-changing environment where today's field might become tomorrow's fury furnace to us? If we want to avoid such precarious moments, we must be like a tree and not grass. We cannot be any ordinary tree but a tree planted by streams of water, yielding its fruit in season, whose leaf does not wither and who prospers in all he does. Such a tree is not affected by dry spells or storms that threaten its existence or uproot it. Beneath the tree, where no one can see, is living water, nourishing the tree from physical damage, threats or dangers. Sun or rain, nothing is going to affect the growth of the tree. It can only get bigger and stronger every day, bearing fruit —a hundredfold, sixtyfold, or thirtyfold. The certainty Matthew 5:17-18 Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets. I have not come to abolish them but to fulfil them. For I tell you truly, until heaven and earth pass away, not a single jot, not a stroke of a pen, will disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. Unbeknown to many, in the world of uncertainty, there is certainty, and it is found in the law. A law describes the outcome under certain conditions and predicts what will happen as long as those conditions are met. Even when heaven and earth pass away, not a single jot, not a stroke of a pen, will disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. Hence, everything in the entire universe happens according to Law—there is no such thing as chance. Every effect must have a cause, and in turn, that cause must have an effect. Thus, we have the perpetual, never-ending cycle of cause and effect. In farming terms, we reap what we sow. In scientific terms, it is the equal and opposite reaction of every action. In spiritual terms, it is karma or retribution. In idiomatic terms, it is the chickens who come home to roost. The predictability of the law Joshua 1:8 This Book of the Law must not depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. For then, you will prosper and succeed in all you do. No matter what terms we use to define certainty, the message is clear: nothing happens by random selection or chance. The uncertainty that many face is the certainty of an outcome because they are not under the protection of the law. Simply explain, those who live in obedience to the law live in certainty that things will work out as planned, while those who live in disobedience to the law live in uncertainty that nothing will work out as planned. That is to say, the law protects all who obey. Those who disobey will have to face the penalty of the law. Regardless of whether it is common law, scientific law or spiritual law, all have the same power to enforce their predicted outcome. If they cannot, then they are good practices, good to know but not necessary to follow. Therefore, whatever we do, we should not trespass any law and expect to get away. There is no getting away until every arrears is paid. No man is above the law. Galatians 3:11 For it is written: "Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law."  As much as we think we are free to do what we want, no one is entirely free to do so. We are free to do as we wish, but only within the boundary of the law, not just spiritual but scientific or common law. Once we cross the boundary, we walk out of the hedge of protection of the law. We have to suffer the consequences of our actions. It is similar to observing the traffic rules. If we don't, the predictable outcome will, indeed, ultimately, be hit by other vehicles. We do not need watchful eyes to enforce the punishment. The traffic system can self-regulate itself and eliminate the offender. If one gets into an accident, there are three predictable outcomes: injuries, death or license suspension. If we do not want to end up with such curses, we should be obedient and observe the law. Ignorance of the law Luke 23:34 Then Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing." However, many things are easier said than done. No one wants to trespass the law and add curses into one's life. Many of us are like Eve, not knowing what we are doing. We are like grass that cannot go through any strong wind, unlike a tree that goes unaffected by the storm of life. The difference is that one does not know the rules of the game, while the other does. If we do not want to be like grass that is constantly tossed around by the whims and fancies of the wind until we do not know what we are doing, we must precisely understand the requirements of the law. Then, we will be like a tree drawing living water, where the storm is nothing but a breeze. However, The law is not a friend but a foe. Galatians 5:17-18 For the flesh craves what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are opposed to each other, so that you do not do what you want. But if the Spirit leads you, you are not under the law. As much as we want to obey the law and live under its protection or provision, it is beyond our human nature. Obeying the law is more complex than turning to the right or the left. It is more than stopping when the traffic light turns red and moves on when it turns green. That was the mistake the Israelites made when they were at Mount Sinai when they said, "We will do everything that the LORD has spoken." They wrongly assumed that doing everything that GOD has spoken about was as easy as moving out of Egypt with GOD parting the way and levelling all obstacles. Unbeknownst to them, that was courtship. The real test was in the marriage when they agreed to GOD's proposal. That innocent statement of 'I do' sealed their fate and everyone's fate from then on to be under the law. With their consensus, GOD issued His house's rule, the Ten Commandments. From then on, everyone who wants to be with GOD enters into a covenant relationship with Him, and those who obey will be blessed, while those who cannot will be cursed. The law condemns Romans 4:14-15 For if those who live by the law are heirs, faith is useless, and the promise is worthless because the law brings wrath. And where there is no law, there is no transgression. In courtship, God did everything for the Israelites. After marriage, as in all marriages, the Israelites had to DIY. Therefore, in the Book of Numbers, chapter 14, the Israelites wanted to divorce God because they did not want to DIY with the giants. The treatments, figuratively speaking, before marriage were not the same after marriage. GOD's purpose in His law is, unlike other laws, to reveal our sins. The law was given to prove otherwise to what the Israelites thought, 'We will do everything that the LORD has spoken'. We cannot do what GOD wants because of our fallen nature. The law is to catch our weaknesses and prove our need for GOD. As Jesus commented, apart from Him, we can do nothing. Recalibration John 15:5 I am the vine, and you are the branches. The one who remains in Me, and I in him, will bear much fruit. For apart from Me, you can do nothing. Despite our best efforts, nothing will go as planned because we are not the game masters. Only GOD is. We are only game players. As long as we are not the game masters, we cannot control the game. Therefore, our destiny is in the hand of He who holds it. That is that much we can do to ensure success. We like kites; if the wind does not pick us up to soar through the sky, we are nothing but some beautifully crafted paper. Even if we are not the game masters, GOD is good because He plays by His rules. As long as we act according to His rules, against our fallen nature, whatever we do will be according to His Word. That is the certainty of our future according to GOD's Word. Conclusion: Matthew 7:17-18 Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. If we want to be successful in all that we do, we cannot be the lords of our lives. We cannot listen to ourselves and be wise in our eyes. Instead, we must be wary of our fallen nature, which will lead us away from the way of GOD and guide us to an aimless life. Today, if we look within and are unhappy with ourselves and what we are doing, then we are guided not by the Word but by our fallen nature. The fruit of our decision will never lie. If it is from GOD, it will be a good fruit. If not, it will be a rotten fruit. If we are not getting the result that we want, we must go back to GOD's Word and reexamine our lives. Prayer and positive proclamation will not make what is wrong right. Ignorance is not excusable. GOD rules everything according to His Book. As long as we do everything according to the Book, our lives are as predictable as written in the Book. GOD will have to act according to His Word, and we can predict the outcome as promised. Prayer: Thank you, GOD, for your Word. That is my trust and strength. Nothing will be done out of the context of your Word. No one can stand against your Word or override it. Help me keep it in my heart that I may not sin against You. Instead, I can predict my future according to Your Word. Amen.
