Christ gave Himself up as a sheep, willing to be slaughtered. He surrendered Himself willingly to the will of the Father. He had the choice to disobey, but He obeyed, even obedience to death on the cross. He was humiliated, beaten, stripped naked and crucified naked to compound His shame. What a horrible route He took to conquer death for us.

Right from the beginning, the Father had always had issues with His children because of disobedience. It’s their disobedience that led to the death of many. For the same Father who gave birth to His children to turned and cut them off, that means it’s beyond remedy. Disobedience is powerful! Whenever we give up our will to the spirit of disobedience, it leads us to our death. Though it may not lead us to physical death, but will lead us to death beyond the grave.

As a Christian, you’re not fit for Heaven until you’re able to forgo what you loved most. If the Father asks you to give up what you cherish most, will you obey? Abraham was promised a son, but had him after twenty five years. As the child grew under his care, the Father placed before him a bigger test, a test none could easily pass. Nobody knew if he truly killed Isaac before the Father revived him. The truth of what actually happened was buried between himself and the Father. Until the Father deals with you directly, you will never understand His way. Even if He deals with you directly, you still cannot understand Him and His way. Four good times He had told me I shouldn’t try to understand Him and His way, but should rather follow Him blindly like a blind man.

Beloved, the Father is a truthful and righteous Father. He owns us and will never deceive us. We cannot dictate for Him, but willingly with joy, we shall fetch fresh water from the well of salvation. Whatever we pass through because of the Father, not because of sin, let us count it for joy, for we know that He who brought us to Himself out of His goodwill will not and never abandon us halfway, but will lead us to victory. Hallelujah! Amen!
