Goodwill always has<br />
consequences. No matter how<br />
good a deal is or how much we<br />
desire something, we must be<br />
careful to involve God first<br />
because the moment we choose<br />
to deviate, God always steps<br />
aside. We must guard our<br />
hearts against every kind of<br />
distraction. Also, opt to read<br />
the word of God yourself,<br />
meditate on it and know the<br />
truth for it will set you free.<br />
The opposite of truth is false<br />
beliefs and half truths which are<br />
a good fuel to deception.<br />
Trust in the Lord with<br />
all your heart and do<br />
not rely on your own<br />
insight. In all your<br />
ways acknowledge him<br />
and he will make<br />
straight your paths. Be<br />
not wise in your own<br />
eyes; fear the Lord, and<br />
turn away from evil<br />
(Proverbs 3:5-7).<br />
Acceptable will<br />
The acceptable, permissive or pleasing<br />
will happens when we force God to<br />
do something for us. It happens when<br />
we press God so much that He has no<br />
choice but to let us have our way.<br />
The acceptable will is borne out of a<br />
rebellious and disobedient heart.<br />
Therefore all the elders<br />
of Israel came in a body<br />
to Samuel at Ramah and<br />
said to him, “Now that<br />
you are old, and your<br />
sons do not follow your<br />
example, appoint a king<br />
over us, as other nations<br />
have, to judge us.”<br />
Samuel was displeased<br />
when they asked for a<br />
king to judge them. He<br />
prayed to the Lord,<br />
however who said in<br />
answer: Grant the<br />
people’s every request. It<br />
is not you they reject,<br />
they are rejecting me as<br />
their king (1 Samuel<br />
8:4-7).
