Comfort is a blessing, but can be a curse !
When you are too comfortable that you forget to pray as you ought to
When you are too comfortable and you think God's word is foolishness
When you are too comfortable that you no longer obey God
Comfort has a way of sedating you against the truth,against doing things God's way
God warned the children of Israel in the old testament not to allow comfort to makes them forget God
Deuteronomy 8:11-14
Beware that thou forget not the LORD thy God, in not keeping his commandments, and his judgments, and his statutes, which I command thee this day:
Lest when thou hast eaten and art full, and hast built goodly houses, and dwelt therein;
And when thy herds and thy flocks multiply, and thy silver and thy gold is multiplied, and all that thou hast is multiplied;
Then thine heart be lifted up, and thou forget the LORD thy God, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bo***ge;
It is very dangerous to allow comfort to makes you forget God
The strategy of the enemy is to allow you to fall into the danger of comfort
God want comfort for his people no doubt , but the challenges as always been the danger of comfort which makes people to eventually forget God who brought them up
Saul made that mistake and Samuel reminded him of when he was little before God made him king and that brought him down
1samuel 15 vs17
Deuteronomy 32:15
But Jeshurun waxed fat, and kicked: thou art waxen fat, thou art grown thick, thou art covered with fatness; then he forsook God which made him, and lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation
The children of Israel's story should teaches us lessons continually,anytime they become too comfortable that they forget God they always find themselves in trouble and anytime they go back to God trouble seize
You need to realize that your permanent stay out trouble,out of fear ticket is staying with God in the place of prayers and be observing his way through his word
The reason why some of the challenges you are dealing with is permitted is because you are always too comfortable anytime you are experiencing Peace
Have you not notice that you find it difficult to pray when you are too comfortable ?
You find it difficult to stay with God's word when everything is rosy
David said it is good that I have been afflicted so that I might learn your statutes
Psalms 119:71
It is good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn thy statutes.
But do you know that it is not in the original plan of God to allow affliction into your life before you learn his statutes
God want you to learn his statutes and walk in it without having to be force by affliction
Jonah was given an assignment he refuses to obey until he found himself in the belly of the fish
Don't behave like Jonah who have to cry to God by the reason of affliction but he could have obey God without haven to go through affliction
Let me show you a scripture
Psalms 107:17
Fools because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities, are afflicted.
Did you see this scripture many people who are going through afflictions today are going through it because of transgression and because of iniquity
Sometimes there are certain things you ought to would have known, that if you know it you wouldn't be going through what you are going through now or you wouldn't find yourself in that mess that you found yourself , but because you didn't spend time with God in prayers you could not get that information even when God is trying to get it across to you your spirit could not pick it because your spirit is far from God
You need to be watchful, don't let the fact that you are running helter skelter to makes money or to create a good life for yourself and for your family sedate you against the reality
Pray without ceasing
Hear from God without ceasing
And live life the way God will have you lives
Have you even forgot that someone sent you to this earth for a purpose ?
Are you even fulfilling that purpose?
You will give account
But start holding yourself accountable now before the day that you will stand before God to receive judgment of all you do in the flesh
Peace be unto you
