Say to them, ‘This is what the Lord says: If you will not listen to me and obey my word I have given you and if you will not listen to my servants, the prophets-for I sent them again and again to warn you, but you would not listen to them-then I will destroy this temple. I will make Jerusalem an object of cursing in every nation on earth.’
– Jeremiah 26:4-5,6(NLT)
A WARNING TO THE UNRULY
A poem and essay by ILMA
Are you still rebelling against God’s will?
Be warned for the consequences are for real
The Lord says that if we listen and obey his word
We will be on our way to have triumph over the world.
God warns us of the consequences of disobedience
Destruction is in the offing if you continue your insolence
Don’t let time fly by and not heed this cautioning
You will be sorry if you didn’t follow this warning.

There were many years of my life that I lived in disobedience to my parents and to God. I wallowed in the abuses and criticisms that I grew into and carried it to my adult life. As a result, I was surrounded by negative people who thought like me. I embraced bitterness and as a result, I lived a cursed life. The moment I re-committed to God and obeyed his word, he transformed me and my entire life flourished.
