5. DO NOT SURRENDER YOUR RIGHTS
Be careful who you listen to and from whom you receive advice. I do not believe we should blindly surrender our bodies to anyone who calls themselves a doctor or health expert in this health crisis.
1 Corinthians 6:19, 20: “Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost, which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are brought with a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s".
We should take heed to what happened to the people in Nehemiah’s time where irt says in Nehemiah 9:27: “They have dominion over our bodies . . . at their pleasure, and we are in great distress.”
Nor do I believe we should blindly surrender ourselves to anyone who calls himself a pastor (and I am one of them by the grace of God.) We must know them by their fruits.
I do not believe we should blindly surrender ourselves to anyone who calls himself a politician unless we truly know they are servants of “we the people.”
However, I do believe with all my heart that we can and should submit ourselves without question to the One who loves us and gave Himself for us. His name is Jesus Christ. He alone can be trusted completely. He will never fail.
Although He is the ruler of the whole universe, He adopted us to be His sons and daughters. As our Father God, He has made Himself available to us 24/7 and He is only a prayer away. He is the only One worthy of our total allegiance.
More to come.
Be encouraged.
