What i learnt in today's teaching is that we should learn to be in one place. If you are serving God, serve him with all your strength, might and love. We should maintain an unshakeable position, not serving God yet you are worshipping other gods, going from one place to another. You can not drink from the lords cup and also dine with devil for one cannot serve two master at a time. 1Corinthians 10:21
You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons too; you cannot have a part in both the Lord’s table and the table of demons.
If we must live long, we must learn to obey the Lord's commandment, for our God is a jealous God. If we obey his word, we shall reap of reap the good of the land. Isaiah 1:9
NIV:If you are willing and obedient, you will eat the good things of the land;
Bro Eli, also talked about making a vow to God. When we are making a vow, we should learn to redeem our vows and not make a vow we can't redeem, for God doesn't take pleasure in fools. It's better to be silent in His presence than to make a vow you cannot keep up to. But if any one wants to give, they should from their good heart.
2Corinthians 9:7
NIV:Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.
It's not compulsory to give. But if you want to give, give to you capacity and that which is acceptable, in order for your gift to be honoured.
Ecclesiastes 5:4-5 NIV:When you make a vow to God, do not delay to fulfill it. He has no pleasure in fools; fulfill your vow. It is better not to make a vow than to make one and not fulfill it.
