JESUS: His Instruction Has Your Solution; Follow It
Any Instruction by JESUS you obey, has super-abundant solution and great success for you and others.
When Peter followed THE LORD’s Instructions, he and his partners had immediate business turnaround and great success exceedingly, abundantly above all that they could have imagined, (Luke 5:4-7).
At His WORD, there are wonderful works to end our worries.
JESUS has Counsel for great business success; any success. Ask Him!
When Peter followed THE LORD’s Instructions, he found money QUICKLY to pay His and his tax bills, (Matthew 17 24-27).
JESUS has Counsel for Instant Finance. Ask Him!
Provision
When The Seven followed The Instructions of JESUS, they had a bumper catch of large fish, as well as JESUS-cooked fish, succulently sizzling and ready to eat with bread for breakfast by the sea, (John 21:1-14).
What a treat! Breakfast by the sea; COOKED by JESUS.
Likewise, with over 5,000 famished attendees of His Convention around Passover in a deserted place, and only a lad’s five barley loaves and two small fish available as food, JESUS instructed His disciples, saying: “Make the people sit down.”
So the men sat down on grass in the place.
“And JESUS took the loaves, and when He had given thanks He distributed them to the disciples, and the disciples to those sitting down; and likewise of the fish, as much as they wanted. So when they were filled, He said to His disciples, “Gather up the fragments that remain, so that nothing is lost.” Therefore they gathered them up, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves which were left over by those who had eaten. Then those men, when they had seen the sign that JESUS did, said, “This is truly The Prophet Who is to come into the world.” ’ John 6:9-14.
“Now those who had eaten were about five thousand men, besides women and children.” Matthew 14:21.
If that simple Instruction by THE LORD to his disciples (“Make the people sit down.”) had not been followed, the miracle will NOT have happened.
How many miracles a lot of people fail to get from THE LORD because they won’t obey His Instructions!
“I will instruct you and teach you in The Way you should go; I will guide you with My Eye. Do not be like the horse or like the mule, which have no understanding, which must be harnessed with bit and bridle, else they will not come near you. Many sorrows shall be to the wicked; But he who trusts in THE LORD, Mercy shall surround him. Be glad in THE LORD and rejoice, you righteous; And shout for joy, all you upright in heart!” Psalm 32:8-11.
Healing
When His Instruction is followed, healing follows:
‘ “Now as JESUS passed by, He saw a man who was blind from birth. And His disciples asked Him, saying, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?” JESUS answered, “Neither this man nor his parents sinned, but that The Works of GOD should be revealed in him. I must work The Works of Him Who sent Me while it is day; the night is coming when no one can work. As long as I AM in the world, I AM The Light of the world.” When He had said these things, He Spat on the ground and made clay with The Saliva; and He anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay. And He said to him, “Go, wash in The Pool of Siloam” (which is translated, Sent). So he went and washed, and came back seeing. Therefore the neighbors and those who previously had seen that he was blind said, “Is not this he who sat and begged?” Some said, “This is he.” Others said, “He is like him.” He said, “I am he.” Therefore they said to him, “How were your eyes opened?” He answered and said, “A Man called JESUS made clay and anointed my eyes and said to me, “Go to the pool of Siloam and wash.” So I went and washed, and I received sight.’” John 9:1-11.
“Now it happened as He went to Jerusalem that He passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee. Then as He entered a certain village, there met Him ten men who were lepers, who stood afar off. And they lifted up their voices and said, “JESUS, Master, have mercy on us!” So when He saw them, He said to them, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.” And so it was that as they went, they were cleansed. And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, returned, and with a loud voice glorified GOD, and fell down on his face at His Feet, giving Him thanks. And he was a Samaritan. So JESUS answered and said, “Were there not ten cleansed? But where are the nine? Were there not any found who returned to give Glory to GOD except this foreigner?” And He said to him, “Arise, go your way. Your Faith has made you well.”” Luke 17:11-19.
If you don’t bother to obey, you’ll continue being bothered
I am amazed at how many believers neither fear THE LORD to obey His Instructions nor care about their situation He cares about and seeks to change for them.
Over two years ago, I was just checking on a nice brother on the phone. Suddenly, THE HOLY SPIRIT took hold of me and I started prophesying a solution to his longstanding problem, with a specific date by which to take action within three months.
It still amazes me even as I type this: This nice, meek brother not only failed to meet the deadline THE LORD stated in the prophecy, he flatly REFUSED to follow A VERY IMPORTANT Counsel of THE LORD regarding the matter!
And his serious problem remains unsolved today.
A sister was given a business idea by THE LORD in a dream to pursue. She joyfully shared it with me, and I have been encouraging her with GODly counsel and strategy, and praying for her.
It’s been more than a year, she has repeatedly failed to obey and do the business THE LORD gave her — in spite of experiencing hardship and needing the breakthrough THE LORD has for her.
Another sister was given a multimillion dollar business idea about 18 years before I got to know her as occasioned by THE LORD.
By The Grace of GOD, I had regularly and consistently ministered so much deliverance and prosperity to her, her family and very large extended family for over two years.
I have never given SO MUCH of myself and my ministry to any other person/family.
One day, THE LORD downloaded a multimillion dollar business discernment to me to give her, and said explicitly to me: “She is a business owner, not a salary earner.”
I passed the great news on to her.
To my pleasant surprise, she confirmed that she had a variant industry idea about 18 years earlier, but never pursued it. And now, THE LORD was giving her another opportunity to possess her blessing.
Knowing that one failing to undertake THE LORD’s assignment/ calling has seriousness consequences in this life and in The Life To Come, I was fervently encouraging her with GODly counsel and strategy, and praying for her.
In fact, given my expertise and experience in business management and entrepreneurship, I had even started researching to help her with the business plan and setup, as well as regulatory requirements in her state (in America). All as ministry for THE LORD.
She had not been particularly diligent and devoted to her assignment with The Fear of THE LORD, but I was determined to keep on helping her so that The Purpose of THE LORD will be fulfilled through her.
However, about five months ago, she most RUDELY blocked me on WhatsApp, because she didn’t want to do what THE LORD wants to bless her with.
I was stunned.
For two years, this same sister was often in touch via WhatsApp and email for one ministry assistance or another for herself, and for members of her nuclear and extended families. But has now blocked me from helping her to do The Will of GOD for her own good.
It is amazing how some people comport themselves when they are desperate and need you. But once they selfishly presume they are okay, they discard you like an old toothbrush that once faithfully did the cleaning of the mouth alone for so long.
Although an experienced professional, this sister was experiencing unemployment (influenced by demons) for a long time, demonic presence and attacks in her house, a multitude of family problems, among other issues.
Overwhelmed and desperate, she had contacted me asking for ministry to have breakthrough.
She wrote: “plague[d] with the spirit of pisgah for years[;] “the spirit of almost”, can you help me?”
With The Help of THE HOLY SPIRIT, I ministered to her, and she soon got a rare good job in her field (a very comfortable role she had never had before in her 30-year career). T he demonic presence and attacks also stopped when I ministered to her as led by THE HOLY SPIRIT. Glory to GOD!
Being in a southern state of the USA, there were also demonic covenants operating on her property because a slave owner used to abuse and hang slaves there centuries earlier. (In fact, their street is named after him).
I ministered to her in that regard also, and the centuries-old iniquity and covenants were repented of, revoked and removed immediately.
All of these and more I did as unto THE LORD with a lot of devotion of time and ministry via email, WhatsApp, and phone.
Last year, she caught covid, and was rushed to intensive care at the hospital. And, wisely, she informed me via WhatsApp.
Her case was so sudden and so acute. She was in the throes of death.
With The Help of THE SPIRIT OF GOD, upon receiving her message, I kept PRAYING fervently for her, and prophesied to her that she was going to be out of the hospital within THREE days, completely healed of covid.
Glory to THE GOD Who heals, it happened just as He had said.
Needing time to recover, her employers said they would only pay her 65% of her salary on sick leave.
She informed me of this, and I took the matter to GOD The Judge of All as well as exercised my authority with THE WORD and prayer as led by THE HOLY SPIRIT.
With all confidence in THE GOD I serve, I told her that she WILL be paid 100% salary for the sick leave period.
By The Intervention of THE LORD, she was indeed paid 100% salary for the said period.
By The Grace of GOD, I ministered deliverance and healing to other members of her nuclear and extended families.
NUMEROUS other instances of help and fellowship I gave this sister and her family time and again with The Love of GOD. But because she is unwilling to do The Will of GOD, she rebelled eventually.
Because of how I sacrificed so much for her, she used to often refer to me as “A Ram in a thicket” sent by GOD for her – (alluding to The Sacrifice THE LORD Divinely provided for Abraham, (Genesis 22:13)).
I have dealt with many ungrateful and disobedient brethren over the decades. B ut none turned out so shockingly disobedient, uncultured and rebellious.
To have had a cuddly cat suddenly turn into a clawing tiger was more than a slap in the face (not just for me, but also for THE LORD JESUS and THE FATHER. See John 13:20). BUT, I’ll keep loving and serving whomever as THE LORD sends me.
Indeed, I still pray for herself, her nuclear family and her extended family. In fact, I also still minister to her various extended family members, but have not mentioned her gross misconduct to any of them.
It is all about JESUS and His FATHER, not any person.
Brethren, we are not our own. THE LORD JESUS puts us on this planet with specific duties to undertake for Him, in the same way that an employee is tasked by his employer.
“For we are His workmanship, created in CHRIST JESUS for good works, which GOD prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.” Ephesians 2:10.
And we will give account of our stewardship now (whether good or bad), to receive a reward or punishment, (Matthew 25:14-30).
SO MANY children of GOD refuse to do what He tells them to do.
It really amazes me that someone would say ‘no’ to THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, flagrantly refusing to do as Instructed by Him.
How would you not fear GOD, o man? Do you not even care about your life now and for eternity?
Fear GOD for His Glory and for your own good.
“By humility and The Fear of THE LORD are riches and honor and life.” Proverbs 22:4.
If you don’t bother to obey THE LORD’s Instructions, you’ll continue being bothered with problems He ALONE has solutions for.
If you don’t do what He has instructed you, you won’t get what He has in store for you.
His Instruction has the solution you need to your problem.
Let His Instructions be more important to you than the breath in your nostrils.
And be sure to quickly to do whatever THE LORD instructs you wherever, whenever, however. Amen.
“I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will guide you with My Eye. Do not be like the horse or like the mule, which have no understanding, which must be harnessed with bit and bridle, else they will not come near you. Many sorrows shall be to the wicked; But he who trusts in THE LORD, Mercy shall surround him. Be glad in THE LORD and rejoice, you righteous; And shout for Joy, all you upright in heart!” Psalm 32:8-11.
“The LORD Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Grace be with you. Amen.” 2 Timothy 4:22.
“Farewell” Acts 15:29.
~ Jacob Addison Awagah
Jacob, an apostle of JESUS CHRIST by The Will of GOD, according to The Promise of Life Which is in CHRIST JESUS, (2 Timothy 1:1).
Like John, I like to put my head to The Heart of JESUS so as to know and do His Will always. What’s in His Heart is what matters now and FOREVER. His Heart’s Desire is my only desire. My will is to do His Will.
As John was, I am the disciple whom JESUS loves. And like Paul, I am “the prisoner of CHRIST JESUS” (Ephesians 3:1) for His Purpose forever: to obey Him always.
NB. Surely, the disciple whom JESUS loves and “the prisoner of CHRIST JESUS”, like ALL The Promises of GOD, are available to every believer to obtain, just as John and Paul did.
“And having been perfected, He [JESUS] became The Author of Eternal Salvation to all who obey Him,” Hebrews 5:9.
Oh wow – the mercy and grace of God is unfathomable!!!
I pray for myself and those I know that we submit to the Lord God Almighty and I ask forgiveness when we haven’t and ask You Lord for grace to yield and obey
I pray the Lord replenishes you brother for what is needed when needed as you have been faithful and poured into others
God bless you brother
Any instructions by JESUS you obey has Super-Abundant Solutions and Great Successfor you and others.
So true, brother Jacob!
Blessings!
