God created human beings with fellowship in mind – first with Himself, and then with others. But we cannot fully love one another until we have ourselves experienced the love of God. We experience His love when we willingly surrender to His call to our Savior, Lord and Friend.

Obedience can be a challenge, especially when we feel tempted to believe that we stand to lose more through our obedience than we gain. Obeying God is essential to pleasing Him, however, not just in times of temptation, but at all time. II. Muangx Tin-Hungh Nyei Waac Fai Maiv Muangx Se Yiem Ganh Dingc 1.

When God commands us to obey Him, He is giving us a principle by which to live. He is also setting a frame-work around our lives that forms a hedge of protection from evil. 2.

His promises of blessing for obedience far outweigh any possible consequences. He asks us to obey Him and leave whatever happens Him.

As we grow in our walk with the Lord, obedience becomes a cornerstone to fellowship with God. If we obey Him, He pulls us closer to Himself and teaches us more about His precepts and His love. III.

Disobedience sends a message to the Lord, declaring that we know better than He does when it comes to our lives and the circumstances surrounding them. 2.

God loves us and committed to us. He commands our obedience, but because He is a strict taskmaster, but because He knows the devastating effect that disobedience and sin will have on our lives. 3. Saa^dan, hnangv haaix yaac zeiz, aengx maaih ganh diuc jauv nduov mienh, ninh daav za’eix lorz jauv mingh seix sienx Yesu nyei Mienh zoux bun ninh mbuo maiv muangx Tin-Hungh nyei waac, gauh camv jiex se mbuox ninh mbuo Tin-Hungh laengz nyei waac se kaux maiv wuonv, ninh mbuo maiv zuqc muangx, maiv muangx Tin-Hungh nyei waac corc gauh duqv njien-youh muangx Tin-Hungh nyei waac. Satan, however, has another goal in mind, He seeks to tempt believers to disobey God, usually by telling them that God’s promises cannot be trusted and that we can enjoy life more through disobedience than by our obedience. 4. Jangx jienv, maiv muangx waac nyei jauv yietc liuz maaih waaic nyei fiem-fingx – haiz mbuo ganh dorngc, haiz nyaev, caux haiz mv maaih jaah zinh, haiz ganh nyei maengc waaic nzengc, zoux bun dorng jaa nyei jauv yaac waaic, maaih im nyei fiem-fingx yiem naaiv deix yietc zungv sic.

Remember, disobedience always has fierce repercussions – feelings of guilt, shame, and worthlessness, broken lives, destroyed marriages, and bitter disputes, among them. While sin can never change God’s eternal love for His children, it certainly disrupts our fellowship with the Savior and alienates us from God’s blessings. In times of disobedience, we become spiritually weak and unable to discern right from wrong. We sink deeper into sin’s grasp and find it impossible to reverse our sinfulness on our own.

As we begin to apply the following principles to our lives, we will begin to obey God with confidence and joy, knowing that He can be fully trusted to keep all His promises: IV. Sienx kaux bungx hnyouv Tin-Hungh dongh mbuo maaih nyei nyungc-nyungc cauh fim nyei jauv. Trust God with your life and that concerns you. 1.

He created you and He loves you with an eternal love. Therefore, you are His greatest concern and the apple of His eye. 2. Zuov jienv Tin-Hungh dau meih maaih nyei sic fai la’nyauv nyei jauv.

Haaix zanc maaih mbungh mbienv nyei jauv, maiv dungx laamx mingh wuov ndaangc, cuotv liuz meih hiuv duqv gorngv naaic se Tin-Hungh dorh meih nyei jauv. When in doubt, refuse to move ahead unless you know that God is leading you. 3. Buih Tin-Hungh nyei waac. Meditate on God’s Word.

Haaix zanc maaih seix hnyouv nyei sic daaih taux meih, meih ziouc haih hiuv duqv haaix nyungc longx, haaix nyungc waaic nyei jauv. When you saturate your mind with the Word of God, you gain God’s viewpoint . When a temptation comes, you will know right from wrong and can act accordingly. 4. Muangx Singx Lingh. Listen to the Holy Spirit. Tin-Hungh corc caux Ninh nyei mienh gorngv waac ih hnoi nyei.

God continues to speak to His people today. He speaks to us through His Word, the Holy Spirit, and through the words of a pastor or trusted Christian friend. We become sensitive to the Spirit of God by seeking Him through His Word and by spending time with Him – praying and studying the principles in Scripture. 5. Oix zuqc maaih hnyouv zuoqv fai simv nqoi haaix zanc buatc meih nyei jauv maiv njang fai maiv mengh nor. Be willingly to wait or walk away when the way before you is unclear.

If you desire to please God above all others, obedience to God will require you to remain firm. If you do not sense clear guidance in your situation, ask God to confirm His will to you in His Word. He will never contradict Scripture. His will for your life always lines up perfectly with what the Bible says. Setv Mueiz Waac 1. Oix zuqc maaih hnyouv diev duqv la’nyauv nyei sic. Be willing to endure conflict. Wuov zanc I^saa^laa^en Mienh bieqc Tin-Hungh laengz bun ninh mbuo wuov norm Deic-Bung se ziux Tin-Hungh mbenc daaih nyei jauv, ninh mbuo yaac oix zuqc doix minc caux ninh mbuo nyei henh haic nyei win-wangv.

Ninh bun sic yiem mbuo nyei maengc cuotv gaux mbuo daaih lorz Ninh. When Israel entered the promised Land at God’s direction, it had to face strong enemy opposition. God rarely empties our lives of trouble and conflict. If He did, our dependence on Him would fade. He allows enough difficulty to keep us turned toward Him. 2. Zorqv mbuo nyei sic hieh njiec bun Tin-Hungh. Leave the consequences to God. Muangx waac nyei jauv se m’nziex maiv zeiz dongh mienh camv buatc caux nyei jauv, mv baac naaiv se oix yietc liuz bun meih benx dauh dongh Tin-Hungh buangv hnyouv nyei mienh. Hnangv naaic, oix zuqc yangh dingc muangx Tin-Hungh nyei waac wuov diuh jauv, yaac zorqv yietc zungv dongh meih maaih nyei sic hietv njiec bun Ninh. Obedience may not be viewed as popular, but it will always put you in a favorable position before God. Therefore, stay on the path of obedience and leave the rest to God. Life Principle 3: Doz Nyei Hoc Dauh: Tin-Hungh Nyei Waac Maiv Goiv Yienc Tin-Hungh nyei waac maiv ginh dongz yiem domh-mbiungc-nziaaux daaih nyei ziangh hoc.

Has he ever promised and not carried it through?

Even after assessing his dire situation, Daniel did not waver in his faith. The next morning, King Darius found Daniel untouched and proclaiming, “O king, live forever! My God sent His angel to shut the lions’ mouths, and they have not harmed me” (vv.21-22). 3. Ndaa^ni^en hnangv haaix nor maiv zuqc daic? Wuov deix ndaauh maauh hnyouv maiv sie fai?

Historians tell us animals used for such planned executions went unfed for days in an effort to ensure the death of the accused. But Daniel’s fate was never in the hands of men. His life belonged to God, and therein lies the victory. Daniel survived by placing his trust in God and his faith in God’s promises.

Each of us can remember times when we wished we had a sure word from God – something we could cling to when doubts and fears arose. God knows when we need encouragement, guidance, and hope. This is why He provides specific promises in His Word, that we might understand His nature and trust Him. In emotionally devastating times, God’s promises are essential to spiritual welfare. II.

God’s Word is therefore a compass, a guide, and an instruction book to life. Just as we use instruction manuals at work or in the kitchen, we are to use God’s Word as our resource for wisdom and truth. No one would think of baking a cake without a recipe, nor would a mechanic rebuild a car engine without a manual. 2.

Some of God’s promises are conditional(see “How can I claim God’s promises ? placed near Hebrews 10:23), but we can stand in faith on the vast majority of them. It’s not a matter of naming and claiming a promise, however; promises should be coupled with prayer and earnestness to know God’s will for our lives. While God wants each of us to experience His best, He also wants us to know and enjoy His presence in a personal way that best expresses His sufficiency. Claiming a promise without leadership from His Holy Spirit will lead to disappointment, disillusionment, and frustration.

In Daniel’s day, God spoke through visions, dreams, and sometimes audibly. Today, He speaks primarily through His Word, since He never wants us involved in anything that contradicts Scripture. Any verse can be taken out of context and twisted. But if we are true to God’s Word and interpret Scripture within its context, then we will find God’s promises rewarding.

If Paul told slaves to do their work heartily (and they received no paycheck), then what about the rest of us who do get paid? “Well, they don’t pay me nearly enough, “you say. Okay, you may not get paid adequately – but taking longer lunch hours, clocking out early, or coming in late is not they way to even things out. If you are paid for eight hours, you need to give eight full hours. Why? Because you are a servant, and good servants do good work. 3.

If Jesus Christ is our Savior, we can’t exclude Him from any part of life. If isn’t right to teach a Sunday school class with everything we have, but meander into work the rest of the week. We won’t be tempted to do our work merely to be seen by men if we remind ourselves that Jesus is our real Boss.

That’s why your office or place of employment should never be the same because you work there. 5. Meih benx fuh sux Ziouv Yesu Giduc (Ko^lo^si 3:24).

The wonderful thing to remember is this: you may get insufficient wages down here, but you will get rewarded beyond all reason up there! God will much more than equalize everything in the Judgment. The Boss who has watched you all these years will reward you justly.

If you have received Jesus Christ as your Savior and are still experiencing great spiritual frustration, there may be an area of disobedience in your life that you have not dealt with. Perhaps God has asked something of you, and in response, you have either ignored His words or done only part of what He asked. True obedience to God means doing what God says, when He says it, how He says it should be done, as long as He says to do it – regardless of whether you understand the reasons for it – until what He says is accomplished. 3.

Understanding this key distinction between your way and God’s way can make a tremendous difference in your life. You must place obedience at the top of your priority list. But to do so, I think you need to see why obedience plays such an important role in your relationship with God – and there may be no better biblical example to illustrate the point than Noah, a man who obeyed God, even when what God asked him to do didn’t seem to make much sense. God called this man to do something extraordinary – something that seemed both impossible and illogical – and Noah complied without asking question (Genesis 6:9). 3.

But think about this: Noah chose to walk with God in the midst of a corrupt society. In fact, it had grown so wicked that God determined to destroy every living human being on the face of this earth, with the exception of one family – Noah’s. We can only imagine what those evil people must have said to Noah as the watched him day after day.

We can deduce an important key to obedience from the life Noah: when God tells us to do something, we must not focus on the things or the persons who try to distract us from doing it. If Noah had begun to listen to his critics, he would not have built the ark and he would have been swept away with everyone else. Instead, he chose to obey God regardless of any misgivings he might have had. 3. Singx Lingh bun mbuo dauh dauh mienh muangx Tin-Hungh nyei Lingc.

The Holy Spirit enables us to obey everyone of God’s commandments. If this were not possible, God would not be a just God. Therefore, whatever He requires of us – whether it be painful or joyful, profitable or costly, reasonable or peculiar – our heavenly Father will help us to obey Him. Setv Mueiz Waac 1.

Obedience must be a priority in every believer’s life. It is the only way you will ever become the person God wants you to be, and the only way you will ever achieve the things in life that He has so wonderfully prepared for you. The Holy Spirit enables you to walk obediently before God, in His strength and His power. 2.

That way, you can become the person He wants to be, do the work He desires of you, bear the fruit He enable you to bear, and receive the blessings He has prepared for you.

God has given us in Scripture a principle that serves both as warning and encouragement: “Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap” (Galatians 6:7). This is an unalterable law that affects everyone in every area of life, family, work, and pleasure. 2.

Every farmer understands the hidden meaning in this principle: we reap what we sow, more than we sow, and later than we sow.

Naaiv diuh leiz-nyeic se bun taux dauh dauh mienh, liemh Giduc Mienh caux maiv zeiz Giduc Mienh yietc zungv. The principle applies to every, both Christians and non-Christians. 1.

Did you notice how Galatians 6:7 begins? It says, “Do not be deceived, God is not mocked.” Herein lies the root cause of the careless and indulgent lifestyle of many believers. They are deceived. They either do not believe the truth, or they think they will somehow be the exceptions to God’s laws.

even hundreds of seeds. It is the same way with both sin and righteousness – a small decision to do either good or bad reaps a much bigger crop, for either joy or sorrow. 2.

Jesus used the picture of a sprouting seed to show that when we allow God’s Word to produce good things in us, the results multiply: “He who received seed on the good ground is he who hears the word and understands it, who indeed bears fruit and produces: some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty” (Matthew 13:23). 3.

But unlike the crops of the field, which get harvested at approximately the same time each year, there is no regular timetable for the harvest of life.

cannot be bad-and yet, sadly, many people allow adversity to become a major point of set back and defeat. You don't have to be among them! 2.

Some people are almost wiped out by trials, while others learn to stand in the confidence of God’s faithfulness. The latter have an overwhelming sense of stability and immovable strength. They weather the storm, head held high, confident, bold, not repressing anything. They feel absolutely certain that their God is going to see them through the heartache and bring them out whole and joyful and more mature on the other side. 4.

Adversity, also shows us where we stand in our faith. Do we doubt God? Do we thank Him for His faithfulness in the stormy, heart-wrenching time? we trust Him when He says He will never leave or forsake us? Adversity is God's most accurate barometer for faith. It also reveal our endurance level. None of us knows how much physical or emotional pain we can withstand. 5.

Right now, right where you are, remember this: God has put it limit on adversity. Because you are a child of God, the Holy Spirit is living inside of you. He knows how much you can bear. You endure the suffering and hardship to limit God has given, as the psalmist said: “Many are the afflictions of the righteous; but the LORD delivers him out of them all" (Ps. 34:19). And, "As a father pities his children, so the LORD pities those who fear Him. For He knows our frame; He remembers that we are dust” ( Ps . 103:13 -1 4 ) . III.

When we learn and mature in the midst of tremendous adversity, God is pleased because He sees His purpose being fulfilled in us. We are growing spiritually, becoming stronger in areas of weakness, and increasingly because conformed to the likeness of Christ. God is thrilled when we respond correctly to adversity!. I believe God weaves three principle threads into all adversity: 1. Kouv naanc fai naanc zingh nyei jauv se benx Tin-Hungh ginv daaih nyei jaa-dorngx longc tengx ceix mbuo nyei maengc benx dauh hnamv Tin-Hungh nyei mienh, ceix mbuo nyei lingh wuonh nyei maengc wuonv faaux.

Adversity is God’s choice tool for building godly, spiritual character into our lives. Until we experience heartache, disappointment, and pain, we are not properly equipped for service. He uses adversity to mold and shape us; He does not bring it into our lives without purpose. 2.

Maiv dungx hnamv ganh maaih cong-mengh, oix zuqc taaih Ziouv yaac leih nqoi orqv nyei sic.” Adversity usually comes in the areas where we feel the most confident. God wants to break us of the idea that we are sufficient on our own. He made us for a loving, dependent relationship with Himself, and He uses adversity to remind us of the fact. As the Proverbs 3:5-7 said, “Trust in the LORD with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. 6Seek his will in all you do, and he will direct your paths. Don’t be impressed with your own wisdom. Instead, fear the LORD and turn your back on evil.” 3. Tin-Hungh longx haic nyei za’eix se oix bun mbuo maaih goiv yienc nyei fangx zeiv zuangv Yesu.

Haaix zanc Ninh zoux ziangx Ninh qiemx zuqc zoux nyei gong, Ninh ziouc zorqv nqoi aqv. God's ultimate design is to conform you to the likeness of Jesus. He has something definite in mind. God allows adversity to mold and shape you, but He uses it only so long as it is needed. Once it has performed its function, He takes it away.

What do you think God has in mind when He allows adversity to invade your life? I believe God wants to accomplish several goals in your life and mine by allowing suffering and heartache into our experience. Adversity: (a) Tengx mbuo haih jangx taux Tin-Hungh (gets our attention). (b) Tengx mbuo biaux ndutv ceng-hlo nyei hnyouv (delivers us from pride).

Whenever God sees you, He sees a saint sometimes struggling, sometimes falling, but justified, redeemed, forgiven, and reconciled to Him. He sees a saint full of His unconditional love, indwelt by His presence, sealed by the Holy Spirit of promise, whose name is written in the Lamb's Book of Life. He sees you on your way to heaven, with purpose and direction in your life. He sees someone in whom adversity can never take up permanent residence.

Peter wrote, "Resist him, steadfast in the faith" (1 Pet. 5:9). James echoed this teaching: "Submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Draw near to God and He will draw near to you" (James 4:7- 8). Both Peter and James make clear that we are to actively resist evil through our persevering prayers. 3.

On the surface, resistance may appear to be passive. In practice, it is anything but passive. It is an active stance, both intentional and powerful. 4.

Naaic se longc qaqv caengx nyei jauv fai doix dekc hoic meih nyei jauv aqv. What would you do if a weight began to press against you, attempting to push you off a position rightfully yours? How would you resist? You would lean into the weight and press back. The pressure you exert would equal or exceed the pressure exerted against you. That’s a posture of resistance. 5.

Resistance is first and foremost a firm decision to join the struggle against evil in prayer, rather than turning off, or retreating. takes strength and courage: patience and perseverance. That’s why, Jesus told us "that men always ought to pray and not lose heart" (Luke 18:1).

Submission to God is saying, “I can’t, but You can." In our battlefield prayers we might say, “Lord, I can’t defeat the devil on my own. But with You, I can.” This is the position the apostle Paul took when he said, "I can do all things, through Christ who strengthens me” (Phil. 4:13). 2.

As we spend time with God, we get to know Him better and discover how He wants us to overcome evil and experience blessing. 3.

We draw near to God when we set aside time solely to listen to God and to wait upon Him for direction and guidance. We draw near to God when we periodically shut ourselves away, closing off all other influences that might distract us from knowing Him better. The better we know Him, the more we see His awesome power, experience His vast love, from His wisdom, and grow in our faith. We come to an even greater realization: "Yes, God can defeat the devil on my behalf. Yes, God will win in any conflict with the devil. Yes, God does want me to be able to overcome my adversary and to live in victory in Christ Jesus.

In our battle to overcome the enemy, we might pray this way: "I believe You will defeat the enemy and cause him to flee from me as I resist him and put my trust in You." Again and again, David made this declaration of faith to the Lord: "O my God, I trust in You" (See Psalms 25:2; also 31:6; 55:23; 56:3;143:8). 5.

It is impossible for you to resist the devil for very long if you do not believe that Christ Jesus through you can and will defeat the devil. Furthermore, you can remain firm in your faith only when you completely submit to God – in all areas of your life. When you do not submit an area to God, you are saying to Him, "I can handle this. I don't need Your help." That's precisely the place the devil will attack you!

The good news is that God has given each of us a measure of faith to develop. He gives us the ability to submit. Therefore, we are capable of resisting the devil through our prayers. Afterwards he must flee.

In times of extreme pressure, God stretches our faith and deepens our dependence on Him. Without a strong, abiding faith, we can quickly yield to temptation and fear, especially when the trial or difficulty is intense or prolonged. God developed David’s trust until it became unshakeable.

Whatever Goliath you face, you need to bury one truth deep within your heart. God loves you, and when you, place your trust in Him, He will not allow you to suffer defeat. You may go through times of failure. Life may not always turn out the way you planned – but ultimately, God will be glorified, and you will be blessed.

Instead of yielding to thoughts of fear and failure, make a commitment to trust God, even when you do not know what the next day will bring. Train yourself to look beyond what you can see to what God sees.

God invites us to claim His promise in Isaiah 40:29–31: “He gives power to the weak, and to those who have no might He increases strength. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall, but those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.” God promises that as we wait on Him, He will supply us with supernatural, physical energy. While our impatience makes us weary and worn, actively waiting on Him energizes us. Five or ten minutes of waiting on God can be like a two-hour nap. Waiting on Him is never wasted time!). 3.

But waiting on God will ensure our victory and keep us from foolish and precipitous acts). 4.

In the end, we’ll never feel embarrassed for waiting on God; it’s always the smart thing to do. When others encourage us to forget ahead instead of waiting on the Lord, we need to remember that we will never ultimately be put to shame. “But Lord,” we may say during a long wait, “suppose it doesn’t work out?” His answer? He’ll never let us down!) 5.

He may change our circumstances while we wait. He keeps us in step with Himself and prepares us for His answers. He uses the time to sift our motives and strengthen our faith.

Waiting makes possible the most luscious fruit of all).
