You shall walk in all the ways which the LORD your God has commanded you, that you may live and that it may be well with you, and that you may prolong your days in the land which you shall possess. Now this is the commandment, and these are the statutes and judgments which the LORD your God has commanded to teach you, that you may observe them in the land which you are crossing over to possess

Deuteronomy 5:33; 6:1

Those who do not read the Bible, who do not pay heed to the preaching of the Word of God and do not meditate on the divine revelations miss out a love because these are the ways the Lord has commanded us to walk. A revelation might come as a reprimand, a promise or even the declaration of a fact. As we are enlightened we have to put into practice what we have learned and lay in it the foundations of the way where we must walk. It is not a good idea to despise any information from Above; actually, we are instructed to walk down the way commanded by the Lord – His paths – and those who do that will get His promises.

In order for us to lead a good life, it is of the utmost importance that we walk according to the Gospel – The Promised Land for those who serve God -, because those who obey Him manage to obtain the fulfilment of what is written. However, those who despise any of the ways that are revealed to them by the Most High are vegetating in the world of the divine promise. That happens because they are not living or enjoying the divine power; instead, they are under the sway of the enemy.

The doors must always be open for the enemy and wherever they put their hands, everything has to be transformed. They cannot allow the gates of hell to hinder their journey, but, with determination they have to strengthen the stakes of their tents, moving forward and achieving victories (Isaiah 54:2).

Now, why do some of them do not get to see the manifestation of the Lord’s power in their lives any longer? What is the reason why many are living a worse life than that of the unbelievers? Why have so many children of God gone through so much misfortune? Where are the promises of deliverance? Well, because they do not walk the right way, those people do not remain in the Promised Land. They stop practicing what the reprimands of God teach them; what His statutes declare and what the divine judgments inform. That is the reason why they live as though they had been forsaken. The worst thing is that many are barely aware of what is happening to them.

Now, all revelations of the Lord were given to us to teach us how to be successful in the Promised Land – the Gospel. Nonetheless, those who do not take possession of them do not become wise people and for this reason they miss opportunities of being prosperous. The importance of the divine commandments, the statutes and laws of God and also the judgments that are passed to us in the Gospel is huge because without them the Promised Land – from where milk and honey flow – becomes an unfruitful and dry region, a cold and dead religion.

In Christ, with love,
