Deuteronomy 29:9 [AMP] ‘So keep the words of this covenant and obey them, so that you may prosper and be successful in everything that you do..
DAILY READING – Mathew 17, Numbers 3, Ecclesiastes 3
Every country and its laws are different from each other. When traveling, it’s very important to keep in mind the different laws and customs of your destination to avoid the risk of being fined or arrested for something you didn’t even know about.
For instance in Singapore, it’s a criminal offence to chew gum unless you can prove that it’s medicinal. Selling non-medical chewing gum or chewing normal gum will result in a fine of $1000.
In Thailand, the Thai currency has images of the country’s revered King and thus stepping on the currency is akin to stepping on His Majesty’s face. This is termed both an insult and a criminal act.
In New York City, it’s illegal to honk your car horn except under emergency circumstances. Unnecessary use of the horn attracts a fine of $350.
In Scandinavia, according to the law, all drivers must keep their headlights on at all times. Even during the day, cars are expected to have dimmed headlights.
If you fall foul of any country’s law, whether you know about it or not, you could end up behind bars.
Most travellers know they have to be sensitive to local laws because ignorance of the law is no excuse. This principle means that when people violate the law, knowingly or unknowingly, they are counted to be guilty.
Ignorance of the law has put so many people in jail today and they are suffering wrongfully for not being aware of what they are supposed to have known.
The same holds true when it comes to spiritual things. Spiritual ignorance can be very costly. Many people today are victims of unknowingly breaking spiritual laws and suffering the consequences.
The penalties of breaking a spiritual law is not suspended because a person didn’t know about it.
As Christians, we belong to a covenant-ruled kingdom. How much we know the covenant and engage in it, determine our success in life.
The Bible is a book of covenants which unveils God’s provision for His people and the conditions required to access them. The Bible is divided into the Old and New Testament, but it really means the Old and New Covenant because the word Testament and Covenant are the same.
From the days of the Old Testament till now, God has been dealing with His people on the basis of the covenant. A covenant is like a spiritual contract where God fulfils His promises when we have fulfilled the conditions.
It is therefore to our benefit and advantage to know and understand the provisions and conditions of God outlined in the Scriptures.
Ignorance of the covenant will cause you to miss many blessings and reap unwanted penalties. Many people today are afflicted not due to sin, but due to spiritual ignorance . It is only when you know the truth that you are set free from unnecessary suffering.
We must therefore discipline ourselves to continually study the Bible because it is the discovery of spiritual truths that guarantees us peace and progress in life.
According to Joshua 1:8, when we meditate in the Word, day and night and obey what is written therein, we will make our way prosperous and have good success.
To walk in overflowing blessings in this season, let us fight spiritual ignorance and commit to diligent study of the Word. As we do, surely this year shall be crowned with inexplicable miracles, amazing opportunities and continuous open doors.
PRAYER; Lord I know there are treasures stored up in Your Word for me, I need to find them, so that I don’t fall foul of spiritual laws. Please help me to locate the truths I need to make a success of my life in Jesus Name.
