You make plans that are contrary to mine. You make alliances not directed by my Spirit, thus piling up your sins. -Isaiah 30:1(NLT)
AGREEING WITH THE LORD
A poem and essay by ILMA
Do you know what God has planned for your life?
Are your plans contrary to his or do you live in his light?
If you totally agree with the Lord, there is much anointing
If you make alliances not directed by him, you’ll lose his blessings.
Agreeing with the Lord in everything you do will bring you success
If you defy his plans, you will not make any progress
Be sure to consult and make your plans according to his will
It will definitely bring you closer to him and farther from sin.

I once lived with someone who was a high conflict person. He always contradicts anyone automatically, almost like a reflex. After a while, I couldn’t understand why I was always drained. He sucks the energy out of me. The more I respond, the bigger his reaction. When I realized that he will not stop, I learned to disengage and just be quiet. I started agreeing with him even though I don’t think he is right. The conflicts stopped and I had peace.
Agreeing with someone close to you is very important in a relationship. Discord and arguments destroy relationships and people. Living out of God’s plan is rebellion and leads to sin.

“What sorrow awaits my rebellious children”, says the Lord. You make plans that are contrary to mine. You make alliances not directed by my Spirit, thus piling up your sins.
– Isaiah 30:1(NLT)
WHAT REBELLION BRINGS
A poem and essay by ILMA
Do you have a spirit of lawlessness that is debilitating?
Do you wonder why you continually experience suffering?
The Lord has plans for you but you must follow
If you go against his commands, you will have sorrow.
Rebellion brings much anguish and piles up your sins
It depletes you of energy and cannot make you win
Obedience brings blessings for it manifests humility
Defiance on the other hand brings much pain and poverty.
________________________________________
God made me a very obedient person but somehow the enemy stole that identity through traumatic experiences. I believed Satan’s lies regarding getting even or avenging those abusers in my life through rebellion or proving them wrong. I didn’t even consciously know that they were depleting me of energy and strength and hardening my heart. Until the Lord delivered me from the stronghold of rebellion, I was blinded by the pain I experienced. Thanks be to God that he freed me and gave me back my true identity in Christ.
The bible tells us that sorrow awaits those who are rebellious. It piles up sins that they get buried into. It deprives them of blessings and a joyful and peaceful life.
PRAYER
Thank you for teaching me obedience through your words.
REFLECTION
What has rebellion done in your life?

What sorrow awaits my rebellious children, says the Lord. “You make plans that are contrary to mine. You make alliances not directed by my spirit, thus piling up your sins. – Isaiah 30:1(NLT)
REBELLION BRINGS RUIN
A poem and essay by ILMA
Those who believe the Lord and continue to sin
They will be held answerable to only Him
If you want to stay faithful to your creator
You acknowledge that no one else is greater.
Those who continually rebel and disobey the Lord
They will find sorrow at the end of the road
If you makes alliances not directed by God’s spirit
You will find out later that the enemy is the culprit.
Do you have any idea how a rebel’s life is like? Rebellion brings ruin. I can testify to the validity of this statement. I was a strong willed child and was brought up by 2 strong willed parents. Another strong willed aunt added to the picture of many strong willed people living with each other. It brought so much ruin and sorrow to our family. God revealed to me that these strongholds of rebellion were passed on from many generations.
Isaiah 30:1 says that sorrow awaits those who are lawless. He also says that the more you rebel, the more you get buried in sin. Obedience was something that Jesus exampled in his life. He saved our sins through perfect obedience.
PRAYER
I will obey you Lord.
REFLECTION
What other areas of your life need obedience?
