Pitfalls To Avoid In Kingdom Living - Disciple Makers Series #8Sample

Watch out! Obedience is not optional.

Thoughts on this passage

Watch out! Obedience to Kingdom rules are important.

Too often we read this passage in Matthew 5-7 and do not really make them a key part of our understanding of God and what He wants for us. Jesus says that His kingdom rules determine whether we succeed or fail. They determine if everything we do in life will be worthless or be rewarded. That is incentive to know them and follow them.

Time to pray

Father, today I will read them all one more time and just get them clear in my heart. This section is that important and I want to treat it as that important. I want You to say that I am a wise man not a foolish man. I want my life and the work I do to not crash and burn but to survive the tests of life that You allow. So it takes obedience – and I will do that. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
