WHO IS YOUR BOSS?

-










Most of us have a boss somewhere. I had
a boss on my job. My boss also had a boss. His boss answered to the stockholders and board members.



My father demanded that his children respected authority. We were punished
if we disrespected our school teachers
or elders in the community. I do recall some rebellious boys in our high school were in getting suspended from school. They were always in trouble with the 
police.  One reason they went to jail 
may have been because they did not respect people in authority.



I was elated to have Jesus as my boss
after I became a Christian.I will always trust His Word because He is my Creator. There is not a man in this world that is
omnipotent,omnipresent, & omniscient. 
I try to obey His commandments. I ask
for His forgiveness when I fail short of

the glory of God.

I'm studying the word, “ obey” in the Bible. The scriptures will explain why
I should obey the Lord.The benefits of 
my doing so will also clarified.

 



LIFE LESSON:

THE LORD IS THE BEST BOSS:


GENESIS 22:18



In your seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed, because you have obeyed My voice.”



EXODUS 19:5



Now therefore, if you will indeed obey My voice and keep My covenant,then you shall be a special treasure to Me above all people; for all the earth is Mine.





DEUTERONOMY 4:29-31


29 But from there you will seek the 
Lord your God, and you will find Him 
if you seek Him with all your heart and with all your soul.

30 When you are in distress, and all these things come upon you in the latter days, when you turn to the Lord your God and obey His voice  
31  (For the Lord your God is a merciful God), He will not forsake you nor destroy you, nor forget the covenant of your fathers which He swore to them.






JEREMIAH  7:23



But this is what I commanded them, saying, ‘Obey My voice, and I will be 
your God, and you shall be My people.
And walk in all the ways that I have commanded you, that it may be well 
with you.’

DEPICTION OF JONAH RUNNING AWAY FROM THE LORD I was doing Bible study one night and it became clear to me that, Noah, Moses, Jonah, Deborah, Jael, Lydia, Seller of Purple, Rehab, The Twelve Disciples, and Paul were all CALLED by God. The Lord may require  some people to carry out a special task.There will be others that may be required to minister His Word and  travel around the world as a missionary.      This week I'll share scriptures about different men  and women that were called by the Lord. Some of these people were rebellious and did not want to answer His call.  All eventually did the Lord's will. Today, I will share scriptures which discuss that the Lord CALLED a man named Jonah.  He did not want to answer the Lord's call and ran away.  There were consequences to Jonah's actions. The Lord's will did prevail. He did go to Nineveh. JONAH 1: 1-4, 6-9, 12, 15-17 1  Now the word of the Lord came to Jonah the

Some of these people were rebellious and did not want to answer His call.  All eventually did the Lord's will. Today, I'll share scriptures which show how  a prostitute named  Rahab was used to help  Joshua's spies. Joshua, son of Nun, became  the ruler for the Israelites after Moses died. The Bible also tells us that the Lord is "not a respecter of persons"and accepts all who will respect him. It can be His will to use a harlot (prostitute)

DEPICTION OF ADAM & EVE WITH THEIR CHILDREN I say thank you to PBS for featuring TV shows  on researching your family tree by Heny Louis Gates, Jr.  The show was called, "Finding Your Roots". I enjoyed this show and and eventually became very good at family tree research. Genealogy was important during Bible days and the Bible book of Genesis gives us several family trees. Today I am showing Adam and Eve’s family tree. GENESIS 2: 18, 22-24 18  And the Lord God said, “ It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him. 22  Then the rib which the Lord God had taken from man He made into a woman, and He brought her to the man. 23  And Adam said: “This is now bone of my bones And flesh of my flesh; She shall be called Woman, Because she was taken out of Man.” 24  Therefore a man shall leave h
