Good morning, greetings from En-Hakkore Ministries in the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
My name is: Brother Reuben Zulu
In today’s teaching we are going to look at a Bible teaching titled Determination for Keeping God’s Law.
Determination is the strong, unwavering(unshaken) commitment to do what is right before God, despite difficulties, temptations, or opposition.
Due to doubt, fear, distractions (Love of wealth, pleasure, or sinful habit), bad company, impatience, and lack of spiritual growth many people have lost their determination in doing what is right before God.
In today's Bible Teaching we are going to learn about how we can maintain our determination in Keeping God's Law.
Joshua 24:15 – “But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.”
• Determination is making a clear choice for God.
Like Daniel “resolved not to defile himself” (Daniel 1:8), you need a clear decision in your heart that you will choose God’s way no matter what.
So let us not become tired of doing good; for if we do not give up, the time will come when we will reap the harvest. Galatians 6:9
• We must be Consistent in doing good even if when we face hard times.
Fear of failure, opposition, or people’s opinions can make you lose determination in Keeping God's Law. However, the Lord God encourages us that:
“Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”- Joshua 1:9.
Psalm 32:3–4 – David felt drained and weak when he kept silent about his sin.
• Unconfessed Sin weakens determination for keeping God's Law because it makes us feel distant from God. Therefore, for us to maintain our determination for keeping God's Law we must confess our sins.
Hebrews 10:36 – “You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised.”
• Wanting quick results can lead to giving up too soon in doing what is right. As Christians we need to have perseverance for us to remain firm in Keeping God's Law.
In conclusion, determination is not about human strength, but about daily relying on God’s Spirit. When we remain determined, we will live lives that honor God and we will receive His eternal reward.
To keep God’s law with determination, we must:
1. Make a clear choice for God.
2. Be consistent in doing good.
3. Overcome fear and opposition with God’s presence.
4. Confess sins to remain spiritually strong.
5. Persevere with patience until God’s promises are fulfilled.
