Those who choose to ignore warnings

THOSE WHO CHOOSE TO IGNORE WARNINGS

 But the people refused to listen to Samuel’s warning. “Even so, we still want a king,” they said…. (1 Samuel 8:19 NLT)

There are people who are suffering during the coronavirus crisis, because they refused to listen to the advice and warnings in past years. So now that’s why now they are in emergencies.  To what point am I responsible that others apply God’s advice?
My job is to teach and be a role model with my life, but I can’t force anyone to do something

  • I can’t, nor must I force anyone.
  • I can’t practice 10-10-80 for them.
  • I can’t wake them up and take them to the prayer room.
  • I can’t turn off the TV and sit them down to read the Bible and write for you what God speaks to them.
  • I can’t get them out of the house and push them to go to the temple or to a House of Peace.
  • I can’t force them to serve.
  • I can’t tithe God for others, I can’t save for others, I can’t budget for others.

Those who heard the advice before and practiced it, today during the coronavirus pandemic have their emergency fund because they practiced 10-10-80. Others are in trouble because they rejected the advice I gave them for years.

 But the people refused to listen to Samuel’s warning. “Even so, we still want a king,” they said…. (1 Samuel 8:19 NLT)

You and I are only responsible for giving the warning, but everyone decides whether to take the advice and receive the blessing, or to ignore it and pay the consequences.

 A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself: but the simple pass on, and are punished… (Proverbs 22:3 KJV)

Think about it:

Are you one of those who have been blessed for taking the advice or are you now paying the consequences for ignoring it?
Which of all the tips do you urgently need to put into practice?
Have you ever felt bad for giving advice and that someone didn’t receive it and now are paying the consequences?
