Pray For The Grace Not To Despise Divine Instructions

Pray For The Grace Not To Despise Divine Instructions

Today, we will be praying for the grace not to despise divine instructions. When it comes to despising divine instructions, Samson is one character in the bible that will come to mind. God gave his parents some instructions prior to his birth. He was not supposed to take alcoholic drinks and he was not supposed to eat unclean things. God also instructed the parents that Samson will be a Nazarite and he should not cut his hairs. Samson was ordained and anointed by God right from the womb. All the requirements for his consecration were spelt out even prior to his birth. However, Samson despised many of these instructions. 

Samson Despised Divine Instructions

There was a time that Samson killed a lion and some days later, he found some honey in the carcass of the lion. He scooped the honey and ate it and he also gave some of the honey to his parents. He did not tell his parents where the honey came from. Samson disobeyed God’s instructions that says that he should not eat unclean things.  

Samson was always fraternizing with strange women. His parents warned him against marrying a gentile woman but their instructions fell on deaf ears. He was jumping from one strange woman to the other until he met Delilah, the woman who facilitated his death. One of the divine instructions given to Samson which he despised was about his hair. God said that no razor must touch his hairs. However, he leaked this secret to Delilah and shaved his hair. He was arrested by the Philistines as a result of this and they plucked his two eyes. Disobedience to God’s divine instructions can make you lose your vision and make you a prey to your enemies. Samson’s ministry was caught short as a result of his disobedience to God’s instructions. I pray that God will give us the grace to obey divine instructions in Jesus’ name.

Achan Despised Divine Instructions

Achan was another man who despised divine instructions. When the Israelites were planning to attack the city of Jericho, God gave Joshua some divine instructions which he obeyed. Apart from God telling them about what to do to make the walls of Jericho fall down, He also told them not to take the spoil for themselves.  God told them some of the articles which they should give and dedicate to Him. However, Achan disobeyed God’s instructions and he took some Babylonian garments. This action made God angry with the nation of Israel and they were defeated before Ai, a small town, during war. When Joshua called unto God, He revealed to him that someone had disobeyed divine instructions. God exposed Achan as the culprit and the Israelites killed him and his family members to roll away the reproach. Disobedience to divine instructions can lead to loss of lives. 

God’s divine instructions are always there to lead and guide us so that we do not become Satan’s victim. Victorious living is certain for those who refuse to despise divine instructions. I pray that God will give us the grace not to despise divine instructions in Jesus’ name.
