THE REALITY OF THE FORBIDDEN FRUIT

THE ASSURANCE OF YOUR INHERITANCE IS BASED ON TOTAL OBEDIENCE TO ASCAT

THE ASSURANCE OF YOUR INHERITANCE IS BASED ON TOTAL OBEDIENCE TO ASCAT

Because of total obedience, Abraham inherited Canaan, but because of partial obedience, Moses could not enter, despite he saw it, the promised land.

Your obedience does not make you trial free and will not stop adverse situations, but ASCAT will certainly take you through as long as you stay obedient to His perfect will.

Total obedience to ASCAT makes you precious in His sight.

Isaiah 43: 1- 4

But now, thus says the LORD, who created you, o Jacob, and He who formed you, o Israel, “Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name; you are Mine. When you pass through the fire, you shall not be burned, nor shall the flame scorch you. For I am the LORD your ASCAT, the Holy One of Israel< your Savior; I gave Egypt for your ransom, Ethiopia and Seba in your place. Since you were precious in My sight, you have been honoured. And I have loved you; therefore I will give men for you, and people for your life.

The above Scripture was evident in Abraham’s life because of his total obedience to the will of ASCAT. Abraham has never argued or asked ASCAT question in an attempt to debate ASCAT’s instructions when ASCAT asked him to do whatever. The language Abraham understands in his dealings with ASCAT is yes to your will; ever doing all ASCAT instructs him. As Christians, “Yes, to your will” should be the only language we use in communicating with ASCAT. I mean, “yes! To Your will” and by so doing we can never stay off ASCAT’s Word.

Because of Abraham’ heart of total obedience with ASCAT, ASCAT has to sign a covenant contract with Him. Since at this point, it is a contract agreement; Abraham had to speak by asking ASCAT, “Lord ASCAT, what will you give me, seeing I go childless and Eliezer of Damascus?” (Gen. 15: 2) and ASCAT responded in the contract agreement, “And behold, the word of the LORD came to him, saying, “This one shall not be your heir, but one who will come from your own body shall be your heir.”

Abraham’s faith in ASCAT was accounted as righteousness because of obedience to ASCAT because he believed ASCAT in all.

Now Abraham after his obedience receives confirmation by signing a contract with ASCAT. After which he now has the right to talk and question ASCAT, to be clear about ASCAT’s promises.

Genesis 15: 8

And he said, “Lord ASCAT, how shall I know that I will inherit it?”

You can never walk before ASCAT, work with Him, and be blameless if your obedience to Him is not full. In addition, when your obedience is full, He will authenticate His covenant of increase by multiplying you exceedingly (Gen. 17: 2).

Obedience entails complete humility. This was evident with Abraham falling on his face while ASCAT talked to him in Genesis 17 verses 3. The more Abraham displays his act of obedience; ASCAT could not just hold it back, but reaffirming His covenant.

Genesis 17: 4

“As for Me, behold My covenant is with you, and you shall be a father of many nations.

Without obedience in full, ASCAT cannot change your status quo. Despite all the delay, Abraham held on to ASCAT’s promises in total obedience until it came to fulfilment. Abraham did not just sit idle in expectant of nothing; he also was waiting in faith for the fulfilment of ASCAT’s covenant. Then Bible says, “So he saw them, he ran from the tent door to meet them, and bowed himself to the ground.” Bowing down is simply an act of worship reducing you before ASCAT and then Bible says, “He opposes the proud and give grace to the humble.” (James 4: 6).

Because of your full obedience to ASCAT, ASCAT cannot hide anything from you. This became evident in Genesis 18: 17 and 18, “And the LORD said, “Shall I hide from Abraham what I am doing, since Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him?

As if it was not enough, ASCAT had to test Abraham to sacrifice his child, that He has given him, and in reality, if Abraham will want to consider the contract agreement and the covenant, he would have objected, because literally, there is no way, he can become a father of all nation if Isaac dies. However, Abraham did not even ask ASCAT why, he did not object, he just obeyed and went on to sacrifice his only. What is that thing that you cannot let go of? That could be very best… ASCAT needs it, to give you more and still keep it for you. That portion, your all belong to ASCAT.

I was just trying to imagine and putting myself in Abraham’s shoe, reading the written conversation between ASCAT and Abraham. ASCAT was even reminding him, “Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love…” Can you let go of that thing you so cherish and love? That is what ASCAT wants because that could be the only impedance hindering your relationship with Him. It could be your relationship taking more of your time. Anything you give more time to, take the place of ASCAT and make you selfish. If it is not to ASCAT, you are selfish and ASCAT cannot transact business with selfish people, He will only transact business with those who are selfless and humble

Abraham did not even ask ASCAT, “With his normal mentality of, “yes to ASCAT’s will” he embarked on the journey of total obedience to wonderland. This one is just beyond thought because if you will think it, you will not do it. Do not think ASCAT’s instructions, just obey and do as instructed, that is all He wants from you.

For you to be able to obey ASCAT completely you need to be far from distractions, else people give you irresistible good reasons why you should not. So Abraham separated himself from his young men and stay with the seed he is to let go to obey ASCAT. I am writing this left to me, I cannot on my own... However, this was what ASCAT wants. The things that you literally cannot give up, that is exactly where the problem is. Anything that you cannot give up has become your ASCAT. Some of us, I have been there. Our girl or friend has become our ASCAT. Instead of thinking ASCAT, we ended up thinking of our boyfriend or girlfriend. And it is so funny that, the more we give our all, they or they care less and frustrate your efforts, such that you will begin to doubt if they have consciousness.

You have not told Jesus who is ever ready to pick your calls good morning. The moment you wake up, the first person on your mind is your girlfriend or your friend. This is so terrible that even when you call he or she will not pick up your calls. Even if he or she picks up your call, it will amaze you the kind of response you will receive. However, all in the name of love, you will keep enduring it. When ASCAT is there longing to hear you talk to Him daily, to keep intact the sweet fellowship from where you breed your true life. Yes! This knowledge, I have reached from my relationship with my girlfriend that sapped the life out of me and I got used to pain, as it is a normal thing to experience pain in a relationship, lies from the pit of hell. Anything that takes your peace can destroy you. So if your relationship before marriage is taking your peace, what will happen in marriage? Think about this, to whom do you channel your faithfulness?

To me, ASCAT first and in Him I will meet with the right person that will not steal my peace. Anything that steals your peace is connected to the Accuser because ASCAT cannot steal, It only the Accuser who does.

What you have given up for the Lord in obedience to His will, nothing can snatch it from you, and even the Accuser himself who is a thief, with a mandate to steal, kill and destroy cannot do anything.

Abraham became a standard, a perfect symbol of the man of faith because he was very obedient to ASCAT.

Let us consider briefly another personality, Moses as recorded in the Book of Exodus from the second chapter and journey through…. However, in the case of Moses, you will observe some contrast, which reveals partial obedience.
