Hi Mighty Ignyters, I want to share with the second part of the sharing. Last week I was sharing that Noah learns to put his trust his God in building the ark. His trust came from the times of moment in intimacy with God.



The second thing we can learn from is his obedience to God.



When Noah was called to build the ark, it was almost a senseless task. First of all, that place was not known to have rain at all, secondly, there was no such model to build the seize of a medium ocean cruiser which was unheard of.



He has three qualities in his obedience. The first quality is Undivided attention to God’s plan

the ark was a big mega project at the time of their day. God gave Noah the specific instructions to build it. that was the first ocean liner being built and till today, it is the model for building ships. It did not take Noah to build the ark within three days but it took him at least one year to build. So you can imagine, for 365 days or more, the people were laughing at his silliness. People were laughing at his blind obedience to God.



And sometimes it seems that when God calls us to do something, it may seem senseless and will require obedience to work through it. but if Noah been distracted with the people around him, he would not be able to accomplish what God had called him to do. Many times we can get distracted with things in life. We get distracted in making our studies first, our friends first etc.



The second quality is Testing through time - Our obedience is often tested not when we are in church but when we are with our friends outside and that moment to make a stand or compromise is often separated by a moment of second. Many times it will be tested and that is where our friends will know whether Jesus is real and active in our lives. The Testing in our life will cause us to search deep in whom we are and our faith in God. It is those times that our convictions will go through the fire.

Our character will reflect of who Jesus is in our lives.



Through this, Noah’s obedience showcase the faithfulness of God and that is where the secret of the Rainbow.

When we made a choice to be righteous before God, we can experience his faithfulness. God made a covenant with him and that is never again, a flood like this will happen again and the Rainbow will be a sign of his promise to mankind. When we see that rainbow, remember his promises in our lives. When the bible talks about and all these things, it would mean when we pursue his righteousness, our life will experience transformation in our relationship with Him. It brings us to deeper level of understanding God’s heart for our lives.



Noah’s righteousness touches the heart of God and the Promise of his rainbow means that God will be faithful in our walk with him, he will give us strength, wisdom, blessings because we pursue God’s righteous in our lives. So let’s us make every effort to love Jesus, walk in his love and show to the world what it means to be a fool for Jesus!
