It’s Expensive To Disobey God

 

Are you between two opinions, to obey or to disobey God? Then you need to pause and consider your decision very well. Many Christians make decisions in a haste only to discover that they were wrong decisions. However, we can avoid unpleasant experiences if we will choose to obey God all the time.

Because you have rejected the word of the Lord, He also has rejected you from being king.”- 1 Samuel 15:22-23 (NKJV).
