What would come to your mind if you come across something like this:

Someone lied to God.

Wouldn't you think it is a silly thing to do because you know God sees everything and knows everything that is hidden to the sight of men?

It is just impossible to do a lot of things to God not because we can't do some of these things but because it is a complete waste of time since it doesn't affect him or change who he is and it leads to the question, why did God created the commandments when he won't be affected by the things we do here on earth?

Would you have bothered creating a law in your neighborhood if people violating it wouldn't affect you?

I wouldn't do that as long as I don't have a problem with it but God making these laws as part of the love he has shown to the human race. It is funny how people think they are disobeying God by violating God's commandment because we are just bringing problems to ourselves. No wonder the world has become a terrible place to live, people no longer value the life of their fellow humans, adultery and different dirty things have become a new normal way of life for us.

Read through the commandment and answer the questions that follow.

• You shall have no other gods before Me.

How does that affect God? Does having a god stop him from being the most high?

You shall make no idols.

Does making an idol stop him from being omnipotent?

•You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain.

We all have done this at a point in our life, did it bring heaven down?

•Keep the Sabbath day holy.

If the world refuses not to keep the Sabbath day holy, does that remove a bit of his power?

•Honor your father and your mother.

Isn't it for our good or can you disrespect God?

•You shall not murder.

Does God have a sibling or family you can kill?

•You shall not commit adultery.

Does God have a wife or sister you can commit adultery with?

•You shall not steal.

Can you steal from God? Just tell part of God possession you can take from?

•You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.

He doesn't have a family you can bear false witness again or does he?

•You shall not covet.

Is it possible to yearn for God's glory? That's impossible.

There is absolutely nothing we can do to hurt God, people preach the gospel every day as God's commandment is for our good. He knows hell is not a place that is good for us to be so why do we think we are doing God a favor by following his laws?

The world is practically a place of filthy things, there are lots of atrocities happening in my part of the world and they are happening as a result of our disobedience to the laws?

There is this big tree I usually sit on a hot afternoon because of the cool breeze the leaves blesses me with but I stop going there very often unlike before when I go there to spend at least thirty minutes.

I stopped because some guys in the neighborhood hijacked the spot and it became their spot for smoking, fighting, gambling, and saying lots of dirty things.

The last time I was there, I heard that one of them was stabbed while fornicating with his friend's lover. According to their discussion, the guy who stabbed the dead one are friends. They all went to the club together to have fun and that guy brought his girlfriend along, they were all high on drugs when his girlfriend sought permission to run an errand and she was going to return. One of the guys they were having fun together also left the table a few minutes after she left. He was tipped about their whereabouts by someone who saw them leaving the bar together, I guess the friend thought he wasn't in his right state of mind to notice his absence.

When she returned, he asked where she was coming from but she didn't respond and while threatening her, the other guy walked in to interfere. He broke a bottle and stabbed the guy, he claimed he had been suspecting there was something between them.

It was later discovered that she was having a secret affair with her boyfriend's friend. The guy has been arrested for murder, people said he wasn't in his right sense but does that matter?.


The girl is been dragged around, the murder will be killed by law and the dead person is gone forever. Did any of this affect God?

Everything they did was against the commandment of God, from the highness to the formication and killing. He wouldn't have made the law if he doesn't care about us, it is for our good and it is high time we understood that.

Hope this little message touches the heart of everyone who comes across it, may the peace of the Lord be with us all.


Happy New Week family.

This is pure truth, for everything that happens God is still God. He can't be reduced by our act or disobedient to His rules, never. If God were to be affected for our countless acts of disobedience, he would have dropped the "God calling mantle". Where His he dropping it to? Maybe to His father. He does have a father hahahah. God is good

Nobody can take his position no matter what we do, the laws were meant to bring peace and love to us but we choose war and hat. That's why the world is what it is today.

We always dictate the commandments of faith on others, but do not apply them to our own lives. What Allah says not to do in the Commandments, we do the opposite. May Allah forgive us.

As my Dad will say "It doesn't hurt God if you don't follow his commandment, you afre only doing yourself a favour by following it." Just because of few minutes enjoyment and anger, that guy has destroyed his own life

God created laws to establish order, to best serve the interest of the people. The story arrows the heart of men and mirrors the reason why God has put those laid down instructions to be adhered to.

Thank you very much for sharing. I enjoyed every bit of it.

If we all can only realize how much God loves us and apply the same love to our daily life there will be no need of being conscious of the commandment cos among all that was written there love supersedes it , if there's love the world will be better place

That's the greatest commandment of all but the only place you can see people talk about love now is in relationships, they believe that it has nothing to do with just two ordinary person.

I think the commandments was created in order for us to distinguish which deed is evil, so we will refrain from doing those things. So I agree, that is created for our own sake. The laws created here in land was a support to the commandments to separate the bad from the good in the society.

Yeah, that's the essence of the commandment but people still walk out of it to do things that against God'd law.

On my own understanding, laws are meant to guide a society, the law might not affect God but if people started violating the law by killing or rapping someone else, the cries of the victims goes to God and God is will surely feel it.

He sees everything, I know he hears our cry as well but it doesn't affect his existence as God.

Actually it does, on my own understanding though. When God said, you Shall no other gods but me, that was one of the purpose God created we humans, I don't know if you are understanding, there's no king without a kingdom full of people, those people are the reasons there's a king. For there to be God, that means God needs people that will worship and praise God so he will know that he's leading people. 😅 I hope u understand.

I love this... Oh... I enjoyed this so much. Everything and in fact nothing changes the status of God in any way but all these instructions are not for God but for us. He told Adam and Eve not to take that forbidden fruit but they did. It wasn't God who suffered but they were. That's just it.

He never bears the consequences of us violating the laws but many don't understand that and they end up destroying themselves.

Interesting write up here. The commandments were actually made for our own good. Like the bible says, even if we refuse to worship him, the stones will. Therefore it isn't to his own benefit to gain our soul, but to our own benefits

Imagine are cheap we are if we can be replaced with stones, I wonder why people won't humble themselves and let God lead them.

This message really touched me, God loves us so much is why we have commandments we are meant to follow, in a land with no leader, there's no law, so if God is our leader, we have to abide by his words

It is important that we abide by his rules and regulations since everything was written for our sake.
